While normally I’ve had a great experience. This one was sub par. We had to send back 2 dishes because they were charred (actually burnt). The incorrect wine was served to us. And it really took to the end of the night and the only person who really owned up to it was the Sr Sous Chef. No one else really took responsibility for an unpleasant night.

I had a delightful dining experience, with attentive service and exceptional cuisine and cocktails. However, I felt that the Izumi Premium Plum Sake from Ontario Spring Water Sake Company was overpriced at $80, considering its retail price of $19.38 online and at the LCBO. Typically, restaurant markups range from two to three times the retail price, which would suggest a price point of $40-60. Nevertheless, the sake paired beautifully with our dessert, which was lovely. The final bill amounted to $405.11, with a total of $478.02 after adding an 18% gratuity

Excellent as always. As a celiac I am always grateful for the explanations and care on what I can have. My table mates who are not gluten free also went to town on the other stuff!
