    This was our first visit, we've been to Milos Montréal numerous times (it's one of our favourites) and we have been waiting for a long time for Toronto to get its own location. The meal was outstanding, dare I say the Toronto Milos may be even better than Montréal? It certainly is a more beautiful design. Quieter as well with a beautiful bar area and larger and more inviting "Market". 12p The service was outstanding, Ali is a true pro, we basically left it to him to put together our dinner and he did an amazing job. The service in Montréal is excellent as well, but the personal touch that Ali gave to us made our experience that much better. We will definitely return and highly recommend.

    Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.

    We sat in the bar lounge for a lovely Wednesday dinner. Cocktails, lobster, Wagyu and dim sum were amazing. Dylan, the barkeep, doubled as our severe and sommelier. He did an exceptional job. Will be back next time up in Toronto.
