    The lunch menu, unlike so many restaurants, was actually a lunch menu and different than dinner one. Attractive presentation, creative and delicious. Great Ontario wine. Helpful server. Quiet since it was lunchtime 1 pm. Definitely return worthy.

    We come here often for brunch, quality of the food is very good and staff is always friendly. We always came back for their amazing French toast but unfortunately they don’t have it on the menu anymore. Otherwise very nice place in the gorgeous Yorkville

    Service and ambiance was very good. We had the ribs eye steak which was flavourful. Was not impressed with the half chicken, the fennel and apple salad( needs a better dressing) , and the zucchini carpaccio. Flavours were bland.

    Love the clean modern atmosphere.Good selection of appetizers & fish very well prepared. Wine list has good choices and some reasonable prices. Very nice staff. Only issue is like many places just hard to hear other guests as sound not muffled

    Staff was excellent and food didn’t live up to the menu. I made this reservation from experience past and have not been in a very long time. I sent my partner and his daughter and am a little disappointed with their rating on the experience. Happy the staff and service was excellent but disappointed with their review on the food. That is too bad as she is an actress from LA and food is a huge part of her profession and she is shooting a movie her in Toronto and I was attempting to give her a great experience. None of the deserts were made in house do they went elsewhere.

    We enjoy our time at Sassafraxz. We had a nice server Alon. We are impressed by the manager who spoke to us several times during our reservation and ensure that any issues were resolved. We felt like our business was appreciated and that our customer experience was important. We will definitely return due to the customer service that we received.
