So glad to be back, but sadly the Happy Hour is no longer applies. Still loving the outdoor patio and lovely changes with sofas and tables.

Here’s a clearer and more structured version of your review: --- This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in downtown Toronto. The restaurant was advertised as a rooftop, but we found out it had been recently renovated and the rooftop no longer exists—it’s now just street-level seating. The menu was another disappointment: none of the items shown in online photos or reviews were available, and the actual menu was extremely limited and overpriced. Every item we were interested in was either unavailable or had been changed, with constant excuses from the staff. On top of that, the portions were small and not worth the high prices. The service made things worse—the waitress was overly pushy and kept interrupting us, even when we asked for time to decide. We couldn’t have a proper conversation without her coming back every few minutes to upsell drinks or food. We just wanted a relaxed evening, but it felt like we were being pressured the entire time. Definitely not going back.

Service was very slow the new item menu had a pasta on it which I ordered however it was reheated and stuck to the bottom of the dish It was a game night and they were more interested in fixing the tv than waiting on us Our server did take the pasta off our bill

Food was delicious and came on time. Server was amazing, I believe her name was Devon. So nice and welcoming, a great vibe! It was before a leafs game and after the jays so it was a loud crowd but that’s to be expected at that time. Bartenders were great, all of the serving staff was awesome.

Food was fantastic. Restaurant was very busy due to a conference taking place at the Metro Convention Centre. We thought our server had forgotten to put our order in, as neighbouring tables got their food before us. Additionally our waiter didn’t return until we asked for the bill. Food is pricier, however what we ordered was delicious (kale salad with salmon). Our experience may have been specific to the situation.

Got there in time. Waited 30-40 minutes before they took our order and another 30-40 minutes for our food. Too bad because food was good.
