    The reason I chose Aera because I heard this restaurant offers an unbeatable view of the CN Tower. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was exceptional—attentive and friendly. Despite the weather, the experience was memorable, and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great views and top-notch service!

    My group and I had a wonderful experience at Yokai. We ordered several appetizers to share. The Lobster tacos, Hamachi ceviche, and karaage were all great. The oysters weren't in season so they were quite small. My personal favourite was the Brussel sprouts; cooked perfectly with balanced flavours! All of our mains were close to perfection! I shared the Yokai Big Breakfast with my daughter and she especially enjoyed the thick cut bacon. The honey butter homefries were a hit too! My friends had Miso Beef Benedict, Wagyu Steak & Eggs, and the Goddess Bowl which they all thoroughly enjoyed! Staff friendliness and restaurant ambiance were stellar. Thank you for making our holiday gathering a special one!

    I’ve been to Ultra several times and the food, service and drinks are phenomenal. Most recently, I was there for supper with a group to celebrate a friend’s birthday and for the most part it was wonderful. Unfortunately, we seemed to be surrounded by several tables of ‘influencers’ who were constantly wondering in and out of the Gold room, taking constant photos and worried about their hair, makeup and wardrobe. It was extremely interruptive to us an other tables (considering the money we were paying for supper and drinks).
