                The dining room is just lovely and perfectly decorated for Christmas. We felt that the dinner prices were astronomical: $44 for 5 ravioli and $60 for a piece of fish and two scallops. These prices totally exceed anything comparable that we have had in Toronto. The Red Snapper was totally dried out: no sauce so my husband asked for lemon to provide some flavour and liquid to the fish. Breakfast was delicious, but again, the prices were expensive for eggs.....

                The homemade ravioli was very well presented and delicious. The drinks were also very good and the speed of service was quite quick. The best aspect was the ambience and overall vibe of the restaurant, which felt so warm and welcoming. Quiet music, beautiful lighting and wood building, christmas decorations etc.

                The service was impeccable. We are not “foodies” so we did not appreciate the exotic nature of the menu however the homemade ravioli was delicious but only 5 medallions. The dessert which was billed as amazing by the staff was peculiar; a unique combination of chocolate ( cake?) with homemade fruit ice cream/sorbet and compote which I did not feel complimented each other. Very expensive dinner but unique and the ambiance and service excellent!

                We fully enjoyed our experience. Fred, our server was amazing. Food was exceptional. It is very rare that we spend that much money on a meal because it can be very disappointing if we feel we didn’t get value for our money. We believe our experience was well worth the money and will be back for sure!

                The food was not fresh. The short ribs we had were dry and served lukewarm. Not worth the price. Although we’ve come here times in the past, i think it’s past its prime.
