   The experience was unique, and the food was very innovative. I found the quality compared to price not worth the price tag. We also gave specific food preferences ahead of time (dairy intolerance, vegetarian). They acknowledged these preference at check in, but throughout the entire experience they were not taken into account. In fact we had to remind them at courses about our food preferences. For an experience that cost $300 (non-refundable), I found that to be a complete oversight by the restaurant. This felt like a one and done experience, and not something I would ever do again.

   The entire night was amazing. I had let the Nicosi team know that it was my wife and I’s anniversary and they made a special night even more memorable. The chef and owner were engaging with all the diners. It was great to be able to ask questions of the chefs about techniques used and inspiration that aided the development of their menu. Do not miss out on this unique culinary experience. Who doesn’t want dessert for dinner!

   Beautiful ambiance, fantastic service. Very cool vibe. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was a few items served were things I don’t care for like a course that was a carrot. It was too much sweet stuff and not enough savory to balance it out. It was just way too much sugary stuff for my palette. If they would do a menu where they incorporated more savory things it would work for me. If you have a total sweet tooth, this place is for you.

   Such a unique experience! I'm a pretty picky eater, but I ate everything. The chef described each course and how it was derived.

   Very interesting experience. The food was a bit out there, which was cool, but I would have liked a dessert that was a bit more decadent.

   A interesting restaurant boasting a dessert tasting menu, the presentation of which was exceptional. However, the flavour profile left alot to be desired. The drink pairings while affordable were hit and miss. I definitely would have paid double or triple in order to have more exceptional drink offerings. The biggest issue is the flow and tempo of the meal. You are put through 8 plates in just an hour. The feeling is beyond rushed and doesn’t provide time for more understanding of the food pretested to you. Service is good, nothing wrong, however not to the standard of most tastibg menu restaurants. They are extremely accommodating for any requests or restrictions you have, so do not shy away for that. Over all it’s fun experience with loads of potential if they fix their tempo it would be the biggest positive impact they could do.

    Great dessert, great ambience and tremendous service. For me and my wife, it was too much dessert. The chef and staff did a great job of their presentations, service, as well as the information they provided about each dessert course. In our opinion, the experience would be better if the 90 minute session started with a few light appetizers followed by a 3-4 dessert courses.
