I have been there for dinner twice.
Wine list has virtually no reasonably priced wines, especially reds, under $55 per bottle. The first time I went there, I complained to the server about the lack of reasonably priced wines but, since the first dinner I had was very good, I went again, although I knew the wine was overpriced. The second dinner was a disaster. My beef tenderloin (which I had also had for my previous dinner) came cinderized with the grill's cross-hatch pattern on both sides which made it inedible until I cut it off which substantially reduced the size of my meal. Unless the meal is inedible, I don't send it back because of the potential for the chef or other staff to do nasty things to the replacement. When I discussed the cinderized meat problem with the server, he discounted and trivialized my concern. When I discussed this with the restaurant owner, she whined about her own problems. I raised the unreasonable wine list prices again and she argued that it wasn't possible for her to put any cheaper priced wines on the list. I told her about another restaurant in Yorkville, owned by a renowned Toronto chef, where there are more reasonably priced wines which she scoffed at, stating that, at that restaurant, there probably weren't any table cloths (there are). There's a lot more to this experience, and I could continue, but I think you get the message, don't go there!


I do not recommend this place.
