    Chef Corona and his team provide an excellent dining experience with quality ingredients and imaginative recipes. My family celebrated a birthday and the food, service and ambience did not disappoint. In fact we all felt it was one is the best meals we’ve enjoyed in Toronto. The Michelin Star is well-earned. We had the a la carte dinner in which you will find ample variety to suit your tastes. From the mains, the wagyu was very good and the lobster, also amazing. If you have a larger party (we had a table for 6), you might get one of two chef’s table situated in front of the open kitchen. It was an extra treat to watch the Chef and team bring the dishes to life! We recommend and will surely revisit.

    An amazing experience all around. Service was perfect (our server Andrea was, in particular, attentive and accommodating). The food on the tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairings were expertly selected. In particular, I would like to thank the staff for their kind, professional, and prompt service. It made our meal and celebration one we’ll never forget.
