    Daphne is a restaurant truly worthy of 5 stars! I hosted my friends here for a galentines day brunch and we were truly impressed. The food was PHENOMENAL with each dish plated beautifully and rich with flavour. The staff was courteous, attentive, and friendly. Our server Armand aimed to please and succeeded in taking such great care of our table! The restaurant is SO LOVELY! The luxurious interior design adds to the experience. The manager Amanda also checks in on the tables and is so helpful with any special requests. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone who loves delicious food, A+ service, and great vibes.

    What can be said about Canoe that hasn’t been said already. Amazing views. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and wines. Amazing service. Canoe has been one of our favourites over the last few years, in no small part due to Chef Ron’s culinary knowhow and vision. Knowing that today was to be Ron’s last day we had to stop by one more time to partake in some delectable food, delicious beverages, and delightful service. (All from the best seats in the house, on the Chef’s Rail!) Many thanks to Sarah for the service. Thanks to the rest of the FoH team and of course the BoH team, all for taking such great care of us today. And of course, Chef Ron himself for the conversation, and years of wonderful culinary excellence. Chef, you will be missed sir!

    Dined with a friend, and enjoyed their version of Winterlicious Menu. Food was perfectly prepared, plated and served. Service was attentive and unhurried; our server and those supporting her were exceptional. Restaurant was busy, yet comfortably relaxed. We enjoyed every moment. Looking forward to returning. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy a meal.

    I experienced the lunch omakase. The highlights were the three different cuts of blue fin tuna and the beautifully scored ika - all fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. I felt welcomed by everyone. I highly recommend this gem in downtown.
