Chicken and waffles flavour was really good but the waffle was hard. Requested a steak knife to cut through waffle. Food took a while to come but was worth the wait. Music could’ve been a bit louder to set the ambience

We were 20 minutes early for our reservation and they were super cool about it. Wonderful service throughout the evening. Best dirty martini that I’ve had in forever. Started with the cheese and bread/olives- both good. I had the Ricotta Agnolotti which was delicious and daughter had Spaghetti which was good but not to her taste. Husband had the “shareable” lemon pepper hen which he ate by himself. Had the Broccolini which I thought was great but was surprisingly spicy for rest of family. Split the Brown Butter Tart for dessert which they gave us on the house “because my daughter was so polite” (a fact she talked about all the way back to hotel). By far best meal we had while in Toronto.
