Everyone was warm and attentive and being that we were celebrating a birthday, our server delivered something special to commemorate the event! A really outstanding meal through and through. In fact, we discussed over dinner that fantastic dining experiences like you are always sure to have at The Ace are rare in Toronto these days. Happy to have been able to celebrate at The Ace, and already looking forward to being back.
