Best Historic Restaurants in Scarborough

Our favourite restaurant in the Distillery District. I highly recommend the Margarita flight & the birria tacos.

Lately Sassafraz is my restaurant of choice for lunch or dinner due to their great menu and fabulous service! I reserved a table in the dining room but we were seated in the café. The staff were very responsive to our request to move to the dining room and Jeff the GM did everything possible to make amends. We were once again very happy with our meal at Sassafraz and we will be back!!

Amazing fine dining experience, the place was very busy and the staff was amazing They did an excellent job accommodating the orders, we had a big table, all cooked to perfection. Very professional and friendly staff, the side table Caesar salad is something unique to try, not many restaurants out here prepare the salad like this anymore, the stakes cooked perfectly as requested, every thing was perfect. Rita the manager was excellent and very professional, the table was a few minutes late and she kept apologizing, no reasons at all, she made every thing great for our party.

We sat the bar and had a great evening. So many special thoughtful things throughout the night. Bread service was delicious and the desserts at the end were a treat. We had the cod and the wagyu and both were delicious. The pasta was also very tasty. Great selection of cocktails and wine. Was pleased to see some sake selections as well. Special evening out.

Enjoyed the tasting menu food at Enigma. Some courses were excellent. The salmon, foie gras, scallop and Wagyu beef courses were outstanding. Others were OK. The miss was the lobster dish which lacked any lobster flavour. The wines offered in the wine pairing were OK, but not impressive. Two sakes, and a rather tasteless white Japanese wine, were excessive for a 10 course meal that was not billed as Japanese. The service was attentive, but seemed rushed, even though the room was half empty on a rainy Tuesday evening. Very annoying, the staff kept trying to remove our wine glasses before they were empty, sometimes without asking. Most of the staff described the dishes so quickly that we certainly missed some of their descriptions. Overall, I would say the value for money was average. My acid test of a restaurant is the answer to this question: Would I dine their again? In this case, the answer is no.
