We were here for winterlicious. It was fantastic! My daughter and I had delicious blueberry sour mock tails, and ordered different selections from the menu so we could share even more yumminess! Highlights for us- the bean soup starter, the king oyster mushroom skewer and the amazing spice cake ( which was brought with a birthday candle for my daughter). Friendly and attentive service, cozy ambience, and delicious food!

I was really looking forward to this meal. I saw it on a TV show when I was in Florida. The piece was shot 2 years ago, apparently, but I had never heard of this restaurant. I am on a whole food plant based diet so good restaurants are hard to find in Toronto. This was a pleasant surprise. Each course was amazing. The mole's are to die for. The service was great. The place was full which says a lot in January on a cold night. The prices were what I expected for a place of this quality. They did not break the bank. All dishes were well presented and generous. I will definitely be back. Well done.
