    This was a wonderful experience. My wife and I went for our honeymoon, and the team at Enigma made a great effort to make it special. The food was amazing, the pairings were great, and the staff was probably the best part. The service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was a wonderful expression of a combination of techniques and flavors that made this an all around fantastic meal. We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants, and they don’t always deliver. However I am dumbfounded that Enigma Yorkville only has one star. An absolute must visit, and for us an absolute must revisit.

    Always great cooking at Brownes. We both had fish which was cooked perfectly...not overdone. Even on this very busy evening, part of the Holidays rush, service was attentive for everyone. Friendly servers are always helpful with the menu choices.

    Incredible experience, where you allow the staff to choose the plates for you. The steamed mussels with sweet potato and the lamb toast were our favourites. I’ll definitely be back!

    Loved The Ace overall - great food! highly recommend the seasonal squash they have and they were able to add fries to it as a side for a complete meal for my vegetarian self. While they lean "carnivore" for mains, their apps are sizeable, and absolutely delicious and filling. I like to eat well, and the (clarified?) butter(?)-fried sage atop the squash was just *chef's kiss*. The Ace has excellent money for value as well - All their food is great; you can't go wrong. Great alcohol options too - the bar does not skimp on the gin! One *teensy* suggestion: if it's important to you, request seating by the window for the best ambience - similarly, if it matters to you, there are two booths at the back that are kind of next to the bathrooms (which is really not my preference), so just make sure to request a spot away from the bathrooms or come early. The servers were super helpful and moved us to a sizeable bar and I had a great time. (Others were presumably able to take the booth as they didn't mind the bathrooms so it worked out well for everyone!) oh and - their cheesecake at the end was to die for. I was in fluffy cheesecake heaven!
