What diners say

“Some of the best, most attentive and personalized service I've ever received at a restaurant, which is somewhat to be expected at a restaurant of this calibre but still should be recognized. The food was incredible, we got a couple of dishes on their first night, a mushroom dish and the duck main, both were highlights of the menu. The wine pairings were all perfect compliments to the dishes. This was a really special night.”

“I would give the food and service six stars if I could. Absolutely amazing dining experience something I will always remember. Went for my brother birthday and could not of enjoyed ourselves more. We did the 10 course food tasting along with a 6 course wine tasting (and Christopher the Sommelier was absolutely wonderful and made the experience that much better) Our server joydeep was attentive and really blew us away with his attention to detail. This was the best food we have had in Toronto and will be coming back.”

“The best meal I have had easily. Everything was just about perfect. We had the 10 course tasting menu and it was the perfect amount of food. Mostly seafood focused with just a couple heavier and richer dishes to balance it out. Amazing!”

“One of the best dining experiences in Toronto. From the moment you walk in, everything feels refined and perfectly organized. The tasting menu is outstanding — every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor, with a perfect balance of French technique and creativity. The attention to detail in each course truly reflects Michelin-level quality. Service is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable fine dining experience”

“相当难吃实在是太难吃了太难吃了太难吃了太难吃了！太难吃了! The one and only ingredient they used was salt, I had to drink 10 glasses of water to balance the flavour and used the washroom thrice. Very disappointing food. The desserts were not better than any dessert shops…. You won’t be able to have a non-fragmented convo with your friends/family because every single meal will have a very long description and the servers speak in a whisper i could barely hear:) For the food, they love to make every sauce into mousse-like texture/foams, and this is the only creativity they got, but still taste disastrous. Extremely salted and I am still drinking water 3 hours after finishing the meal. The only thing tasted okay was the lobster tail itself, but couldn’t cut open use the “delicate” knife they provided…. Had to swallow the whole thing in one bite. The bread was good, and the texture was actually what an average canele should be like, but the canele they serve was again disgusting.. Honestly if you don’t know how to make the most basic French dessert, you should get them from a bakery… wondering if the chefs had tasted the food ever… for the service, each dish was served by a different person. other French restaurants that did this, they actually speak the words clearly enough that we could hear. The environment was not noisy but still, we could only hear few words. The descriptive words were “intentionally “ missed out by the server. And we had to sit there, smiled , and wowed to be polite while hearing only the key words.”
