The food was amazing! The futo maki is one of the best sushi’s I’ve ever had. The drinks were great - however, based on the prices of sushi, the drinks were a little expensive ($25). It was my girlfriend’s birthday and the free Prosecco and the wine cork gift made up for it. 9/10 recommendation 🙂

I went to Aera ( in The Well ) with my sister who lives in BC and she wanted a rooftop with a good view. Aera is 38 stories and has an amazing view of downtown Toronto . We were at the Chef's counter and had a great views of the CN Tower. The host was great. She showed us two options for seating, where we were reserved and one more option. I had the mac and cheese which was delicious. They put mushroom and onion in it. And we each had a cocktail. I had the Amelia, I think it was called. It was tasty but quite small, that was the only thing. My sister's cocktail was a more reasonable size. The guys beside us had a cheeseburger and it looked so good! The service was great . They server was friendly and service was fairly quick . The restaurant is on the more pricey side and so are the drinks. But if you are looking for a great view of the city it's worth it. I definetly recommend and would go again.

Really enjoyed dinner at Akira Back. The A5 Wagyu Nigiri was amazing (a must-try) and the sushi platter was very fresh. The Toban filet mignon was cooked well and the sauteed mushrooms were delicious. Even their vegetable fried rice was so good. The service we got from Gloria was great - she is always very friendly, kind, and thoughtful. I'll be back again soon.
