Had our 1 year anniversary here and were really impressed! The restaurant is lovely, tables are spaced out, and the service is incredible. Our waiter provided great recommendations, and all of our servers were knowledgeable. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing (they don’t skimp on their pours!), which was delicious. We also started with cocktails, which was more alcohol than I planned for but I have no regrets. Also: the bathrooms are next level. Would definitely recommend this resto for a fancy night out: it’s not cheap, but worth the investment for a nice night out.

Great tasting menu! 8 courses. Your chef's do a fantastic job in that little kitchen. Everything was delicious and you accommodated someone with a Gluten free and Dairy free diet for us. Drinks, wine taxes and tip about $100 per person. A great meal - thanks you

Came here for dinner on Saturday night and experience was near perfect from start to finish. Staff are all so warm and attentive, especially Joseph who took great care of us. They started us off with an amuse-bouche of mini cheddar puffs with a roasted garlic cream cheese, which was delicious and packed with flavour. Everything that followed was also excellent. The ikura latke was probably my favourite and a must order - the flavours all worked so well together (which honestly can be said of all the other dishes). The tuna tartare was refreshing, loved the yuzu and truffle combination. The chopped salad was interesting texturally and portion-wise slightly larger than the other dishes. I liked that the fried chicken and grilled octopus were available as half portions so we could try both. Fried chicken was great, cooked well and not greasy. Would've loved a few more pieces of cucumber to help cut through. The grilled octopus was overcooked, but the flavours of the raita and chana masala were spot on. Ended with the caramel cream profiteroles for dessert. The spiced pecan complemented the dulce de leche cream really nicely. Otherwise, I think it would've been a bit too sweet. We weren't sure if we ordered enough as portions are on the smaller side, but it turned out to be the perfect amount and we were pleasantly stuffed. I appreciate that Joseph advised us that we'd be content and didn't try to push us to order more than necessary. The first few dishes came out quickly but there was a bit of a pause before the last two came out. Ambiance is clean and minimalistic yet cozy and unpretentious. Don't forget to check out the bathrooms (heated toilet seats and Aesop soap!) before you leave! It's a pricier meal even sans drinks, but a great spot for a special occasion or to just treat yourself. Most groups were 2-4 people but they seem to be very accommodating of larger parties as well - just be sure to make a reservation.
