   Today the service wasn’t really there. The server wasn’t really present tonight and we really had to wave him down several times. Usually service is really good.

   We did the "Gustolicious" prix fixe option and it was well worth it. Focaccia and olives for first course, delish arancini and surprisingly fabulous kale salad for second, then we ordered the short rib pasta and the butternut squash risotto and shared with each other (both outstanding and not even slightly overcooked). By dessert I could barely manage a few bites of the torte with pear compote and cream. The focaccia was the only non-standout; everything else was fantastic. Paired with a cool space, perfect background music, and genuinely friendly service, I would go back. I'd maybe ask for a different table (ours was teeny-tiny and I didn't love being where we were seated), but it barely took away from the experience. Spent about $150 all in for the $90 prix fixe, plus a couple drinks, tax, and tip.

   Everything was lovely. Gustolicious was fantastic. The kale salad is always my fave. I've never been to 501 as I've only ever dined at 101 and 101 will always hold a special place in my heart as I had my wedding dinner there but, 501 is a hit too.

   Loved being on the mezzanine. A little less busy than the ground floor. Hannah was a wonderful server. She made our time very pleasant and fun.

   Always love it. Great as always. I suggest leading with telling your customers how you’re on the “buy Canada” solidarity bandwagon and that everything in the restaurant is as cdn as you could manage. I didn’t hear that tonight. One waiter said you’re running down the US booze supply over the next few weeks, which I don’t think is good enough to meet the moment and threat. I’d suggest all US booze gone now and every effort to source Cdn ingredients.
