    The service is exceptional from the moment you walk in the door. The tasting menu is an incredible experience and the accompanying wine pairing was amazing. The descriptions and enthusiasm of the staff and sommelier make for a wonderful evening.

    We had a fantastic evening the food was amazing as the service was excellent.. The only thing was our server had a very soft voice and with everything going on it was sometimes hard to hear him.. But honestly it was really great, we come to this restaurant every year

    Overall the experience was fun, but I have to say I'm underwhelmed. The decor/ambience and lighting isn't that special, it's minimalistic but I thought for a restaurant like this it would have an edge. The service was excellent, the servers are so great and knowledgable, they made the experience better. What disappointed me the most was the food. Out of 40 courses we liked maybe 5-6 of them, the majority we found underwhelming. It is a great experience, it's a fun activity to do but the flavours weren't Amazing, we wouldn't go back for the food.

    The presentation was decent, but it felt like the focus was more on aesthetics than the actual flavour of the food. While the dessert chef managed to salvage a bit of the experience, overall, if you care about taste, you’re in for an unforgettable disappointment given the price you’re paying.

    The food alone was worth every penny spent, add on top of that the amazing service and this made for a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget.

    The best cuisine in Canada. Nothing comes close to the variety of foods and the details in preparation. Nothing!

    5⭐️ amazing experience, above and beyond staff that’s very knowledgeable about each item, the best culinary infusion with art and presentation and flavour with each bite. The 40 course is sure to please every appetite big and small, with a dish after dish that takes you around the world with flavours. One of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever encountered in my travels.
