    The food was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly! However, it was a bit pricey.

    Lovely setting, very intimate, not too noisy. Service ok… waited long for main course. Food heavy and rich. All pasta on menu I was with customer to dine. Told to leave after 90 min. Not ideal to bring customer. Overall ok

    I am trilled to see the Carbonara back in the menu. This dish never disappoints. I got stuck in traffic, but the staff was extremely flexible and understanding.

    Dreamland is one of the top rated restaurants in Canada for GOOD reason, it is both pathetically beautiful with some of the most delicious food I think I’ve ever eaten (and this is coming from someone who isn’t normally even a fan of pasta). If they have it, would recommend the creamy polenta bites because they are stunning.
