    Chef Corona and his team provide an excellent dining experience with quality ingredients and imaginative recipes. My family celebrated a birthday and the food, service and ambience did not disappoint. In fact we all felt it was one is the best meals we’ve enjoyed in Toronto. The Michelin Star is well-earned. We had the a la carte dinner in which you will find ample variety to suit your tastes. From the mains, the wagyu was very good and the lobster, also amazing. If you have a larger party (we had a table for 6), you might get one of two chef’s table situated in front of the open kitchen. It was an extra treat to watch the Chef and team bring the dishes to life! We recommend and will surely revisit.

    We love Gusto 101, so we thought we would go to Gusto 501 to give it a try. The restaurant is unique with its multi levels which my wife and I loved. The food was excellent and our server, Alex made excellent recommendations. We are definitely going back.

    Daphne is a restaurant truly worthy of 5 stars! I hosted my friends here for a galentines day brunch and we were truly impressed. The food was PHENOMENAL with each dish plated beautifully and rich with flavour. The staff was courteous, attentive, and friendly. Our server Armand aimed to please and succeeded in taking such great care of our table! The restaurant is SO LOVELY! The luxurious interior design adds to the experience. The manager Amanda also checks in on the tables and is so helpful with any special requests. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone who loves delicious food, A+ service, and great vibes.

    Hemmingways is a great choice if you’re looking for an excellent casual dining experience that’s not hard on the pocketbook. The food, service and ambience are excellent. But, depending on the weather, being seated at the upper level can feel a bit chilly. Heaters did help, but not always enough.
