Servers were all lovely, every course was unique and delicious, and they had multiple non-alcoholic options which is always a fun treat. Definitely worth an experience if you’re vegan in Toronto. And they made sure my soy-allergy didn’t interfere at all with having the complete experience.

We really like to try lots of different tastes so loved the diversity of this menu. We are also seniors and not big eaters, so the small version tasting menu was best for us. The restaurant is extremely careful about ensuring there are no food allergies, not only when the reservation is taken, but when confirmed and again once you arrive. If you love food, definitely try this experience. The service is exceptional, and they responded immediately to my request to lower the music a bit, as where we were sitting it was a bit loud. Definitely a spot for a special occasion.
