Got to try the tasting menu at SARA per their recommendation. It was a great meal and actually quite good value for what we felt we got. Very solid dishes all around, and the space is also beautiful.

We came here to try their 7-course tasting menu on a Wednesday ($65/person). The regular tasting menu is $95/person on other nights. The staff are very friendly and responsive; we got to try some of the cocktails the bartender had been creating, before they appeared on the menu. And they were AMAZING! Our 7-course meal included Ikura Latke, Chopped Salad, Wgyu Reuben, Brussel Sprouts, Fried Chicken and Shrimp . We ended one a sweet note with Profiteroles (cream puffs with salted caramel, pecan and dulce de leche). Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.

Was here last month for a celebration dinner for my partner. We did the tasting menu and were absolutely blown away. There were things I loved, things I liked and nothing I wouldn’t get again. We started with a Brazilian bread amuse bush that was a bite of wonder Tuna tartare was just a bit too tangy but was still yummy The shrimp was a delight The drinks were refreshing I could go on and on but you get the gist. We had an amazing experience, will definitely be going back!

Had the best experience at SARA. My friends and I came for my birthday dinner and sat on the main floor at the table by the window. We had such a great time, the food was immaculate, we ordered everything except 3 things on the menu and everything was insanely delicious. Benji, the GM was so sweet and made such a special effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He even brought me the dessert I was thinking about (and had briefly mentioned earlier) even when we all decided we were too full for dessert. He even included a sparkler on it for us to sing happy birthday! Best service I’ve had in a very long time. Does not compare to other restaurants in the city.

I had an excellent experience here. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very chic, clean and trendy. The staff were super friendly and kind (emphasis on kind!!!). They really delivered a high-end restaurant experience. Food was great and not ridiculously priced. Would definitely recommend this for a date night or a birthday dinner with the girls!!!

Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I only have great things to say. First off the restaurant is clean and has great decor. They even have phone holders in the middle of the table. The staff were great! very professional and very accommodating. In terms of the food: we tried the tasting menu (which was family style) and it was fantastic! Every dish that came out was so delicious and well presented. My favourites were the tuna tartare, prime striploin , buttermilk chicken and the salad. This was a memorable dining experience and I Would definitely come back given our fantastic experience with the food and staff and try the regular menu. Highly highly recommended!

Had the tasting menu on a date night. Lots of Japanese inspired dishes which I'm deeply fund of. I'm quite surprised by the vegetable dishes as they were very tasty and I usually find vegetables around this price range to be either too much for aesthetics or purely a side piece. The wagyu Reuben was interesting. Not my thing as I want to have that meat melting feel without having to have a crunch of hard bread. Perhaps I'm in the minority here but this contrast wasn't my thing. Interesting concept though. Overall I enjoyed it and was surprisingly very full.

Had a phenomenal meal with friends last night to celebrate their engagement, our waitress was kind enough to give us complimentary glasses of bubbly so we could toast to the occasion. The food was very good, we did the pre fixe menu and all of it was delicious. The restaurant was modern, beautiful, but cozy at the same time. Can't wait to go back!
