    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 decided to take advantage of the Winterlicious menu at Sassafraz. The choices offered were a good variety and excellent value for money. The service was fantastic and the ambience was lovely. The restaurant is nice enough for a special occasion but unpretentious enough for a casual dinner as well. The cocktails were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

    Joined the Guided Tequila Tasting dinner in Feb 2025. The hosts, Doug and Pamela were engaging, knowledgeable and very upbeat! The food was amazing and the chef came out multiple times to let us know what we were being served, and that was a nice touch! Definitely good value for your money. I left happy, knowing more about tequila, with a very full belly and a little buzz! Great night out! Thanks El Catrin! I would love to do this again!
