Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything was delicious. Jessica took great care of us and working with our allergies. Everyone there made my mother’s birthday and first time in Toronto worth the trip.

We had a fantastic evening. Celebrated my wife’s birthday and we were very impressed with the service and food. We had a flight of margaritas ( four flavours ) Each was unique and delicious. The ceviche was so fresh and my main was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to returning for another great evening.
