It's not a bad restaurant location. The food(fish and chips) was OK and the service was good, a little wait for my food. Will come back in the future.

Had not been for awhile but wanted a light meal. The server was very nice but the service was slow. My sense is they are under staffed. Once my order was taken my Protein Green Bowl arrived very quickly followed by my wine. Loved the Protein Green Bowl. My server checked in after I was served but then disappeared when I was ready to pay. Realized she was tied up at the other end of the restaurant. I would like to go back as close to home, light menu with good food but wish they would staff better or seat customers together making easier when staff limited

Play is minimal but very beautiful. The food was just mid. Had the OG Squid Taco, which I mistakenly thought was grilled Squid but it was just fried calamari in a soft taco shell. The flavor was on point but would have tasted better with grilled squid. The Southwestern Chicken Salad was bland as per my wife. Happy Hour Drinks were plentiful And very affordable.

Really great little place to go post-theatre. We went after Wicked today as it was literally across the street from the Princess of Wales theater. We didn’t eat lunch or dinner but enjoyed a latte and dessert. The menu isn’t very extensive for desserts but it is easy to find something wonderful to have from pannacotta to brownies. I enjoyed the marshmallow brownie with a latte which was a perfect size. The place itself isn’t tiny nor is it too big but even with it being half full the volume was perfect enough to have a good conversation with my party. The prices were a bit steeper than usual, with each dessert being $12. Our bill for three people having a coffee and cake each came to almost $60. So definitely not some thing we could do every day but it was definitely a nice treat. We will be back again after our next show.

I can’t say that I’ve really had a great experience here, although I haven’t been in some time and wanted to try their Summerlicious dinner menu. I also think it’s convenient if you have a movie upstairs in TIFF Lightbox right after, which I did so I gave it another shot. I had the popcorn shrimps for my appetizer. The shrimp was dry and with the breading just tasted like frozen or store-bought shrimp in a bowl with a wedge of lemon and some aioli. I think this is missing something as a dish because you’re really just eating a heap of small dry shrimp and it gets monotonous. I had the wagyu katsu for my entree. This was really disappointing considering wagyu is known for some great marbling and being tender and rich. The meat was an unpleasant grey colour and was bland and dry. The breading falls off as you bite it and you’re just left with the not so appetizing sight of the grey meat. The jasmine rice was also really disappointing. It tasted old and poorly cooked. My friend ordered the same thing and we sent both of them back because we felt the same way about both of ours. The manager came over and we expressed our feedback on the dish and he was accommodating enough to provide us different entrees. I had the salmon bowl this time, which was a lot more edible. It’s a filling dish portion-wise, and the salmon was cooked fine. My dessert was the black forest cake. This was again to me a poor dish. You have this mountain of whipped cream covering a slice of dry sponge cake. There are two types of cherries used in the same dish which doesn’t look very cohesive to me. The server was nice. After we complained about our entree, it felt a bit like she was avoiding our table for some time for some reason. She had asked at the beginning if we were in a rush for anything and I mentioned we had a movie at 7:30pm. It would’ve been nice service-wise if that was actually kept in mind because I had to flag her down to get the check and dessert at the same time because we weren’t getting much attention after the entree. This is I think a restaurant I’d recommend if you want to fill up on food and need to see a movie or go to one of the nearby theatre venues. I can’t recommend this after all of the times I’ve been here now getting this consistent level of food and service quality for any higher expectations.

The food was good and the service was OK. Prices were fair. It took a while to get the food and our bill, even though the place was only half full.

Beautiful spot, super busy but didn't wait long at all for our food. Had my birthday dinner there with family. Truffle Mac and cheese was delicious!

My mom and I enjoyed the atmosphere, the vibe of the place was lively and the service was impeccable. The manager Aditiya was so gracious, kind and helpful. Our server Vitaly was truly a sweet young man. We loved getting to know them and enjoyed our experience at this establishment in the downtown core of Toronto. I recommend to try out the food and the dessert was delicious! Great place for a lunch/brunch gathering! ❤️🇨🇦
