    I have dined at your restaurant about 8 times now , I was told by a manager that I had 45 minutes left to eat . Not professional at all . I told my waiter when I ordered my wague steak to forget about I will leave , he said he will take care of me not to worry . So I decided not to leave . You have a very young manager that does not seem to care about your customer s

    A perfect date night! I would definitely make dinner reservations before the sunset or have drinks by the bar so you can watch the sun set. It was amazing! The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Although dinner was not cheap, it was definitely worth it for a special occasion. I'm not an influencer but I'm a huge foodie. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Incredible! We were greeted by the most welcoming hosts, Nicole was able to get us a beautiful table too! My sister was visiting from the Netherlands, so this was a great bonus! We were then helped out by Dylan for the rest of the evening, who offered lovely service. It was nice, although Dylan was our waiter, we had a few other staff come and check on us throughout the meal.. to make sure everything was to our standard. Never leaving a finished plate on the table for more than a few minutes. The new bar drinks are also so yummy! I tried The Colossal &lol it was right up my alley😍 but definitely will be going back to try others. The vibe was great, fun music & overall great experience. The bathrooms are by the front entrance, and a little bit of a walk… but SO worth it, because you get to walk past the amazing views of the city on your way to and from your table. I got some great photos

    To me, it’s the best place in TO, to enjoy a memorable evening with your favourite person. Great value for the money. Everything is over the top, and the ambiance unforgettable. Spectacular view of the city, and the food, extraordinary.
