A staple of the Ossington strip. Food is excellent, but pricey. Portions were good, but they’re designed more for 2 (I visited as a party of 4). A great place to bring a date, with a relaxed vibe all around. Would go again.

Delicious food, attentive staff, but very loud. The 2-too table was long and hard to have a conversation over it with the excessive volume of music.

It's a much larger restaurant than it looks from the outside. Inside, there are nooks and quite romantic corners for couples to enjoy a meal. The overall ambiance reminds me of a speak easy. I loved it!

Great experience from the get. Sat at the bar and served by the bartender, Joe. Very personable and navigated me through the menu very well. It was quiet in the restaurant when I got there and half way through the place was packed. The pork secreto was perfect along with the shishitos. Finished the night with the basque cake which is a must. I have been following this restaurant on Instagram since 2013, it’s my first time to Toronto so I had to stop. Cannot wait to get back here!
