Visited the Distillery District and booked a table for two at Madrina. We had never been to a Tapas restaurant before, and this definitely set the bar high. Our favourite dish was the IBÉRICO PORK SECRETO STEAK — delicious. Other highlights were TORTILLA DE PATATAS and CATALAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS. Note: I have a shellfish allergy, so we didn't have any of the dishes that have those items.

I celebrated my birthday at Olio and had an outstanding meal. My lamb chops were absolutely delicious. My wife really enjoyed her colourful salmon dish and my daughter loved her Mac and cheese (a steal at only $10!). I highly recommend the garlic shrimp appetizer. Special thanks to Kim for her exceptional service and the whole team for coming out of the kitchen to sing me Happy Birthday! Definitely a night to remember.

Always outstanding. It’s great for vegetarians and meat lovers. The jeweled rice is not to be missed, an absolute delight. The way each dish was layered in flavor is just masterful and truly difficult to replicate. On the pricier side, it is a treat and perfect for special occassions.
