   Great vibe, amazing food - the only minus would be the portion of the starters- which were extremely small for the price point.

   We had a very underwhelming dining experience here, despite the lovely decor and reviews which had us excited to try. The chicken was very dry and sauce quite sweet. We returned for the burger which was just ok. Cooked properly, but taste was bland. The cauliflower (awkward texture) & squash with vadouvan was even more bland. Very surprising given this type of curry is typically blooming with flavor. Also, the restaurant temperature fluctuation was extreme. The entry door being kept open created a strong cold draft, then when adjusted the heaters blew directly onto your face. Website is lovely and we were optimistic to try, however we won’t recommend or return. Please seek to improve, as the location, decor, and menu vibe are on point.

   Very underwhelming. Was very disappointed, had high hopes for this restaurant. Food was mediocre. The funniest thing on the menu is the cookie dessert - it’s just a little bowl of mini cookies. This shouldn’t be on an adult menu. It was like the cookies crisp cereal - doesn’t go with this restaurant at all. Need to do better, wish I had taken a pic.

   Sekoya offers a modern, trendy vibe in an otherwise sleepy street on California Ave. I enjoyed the Shiso Moon mocktail, which surprisingly had a pleasantly lasting shiso flavor that didn't disappear after the first sip. The food is average, and could do with better salt seasoning on most of the dishes. The burger, which seems to be a favorite many reviews noted, had good texture but again lacked salt. It certainly needs the pickles it comes with. Fries are not listed on the menu but you can order them- which we found out when we saw another table munching on some. It comes with some truffle mayo sauce thinly drizzled over the fries, just the right amount of truffle flavor but a tad overpriced for the amount of fries (somewhere around $12). Overall, probably good for a night out with a group of folks who want to enjoy a variety of drinks, with some shared food.

   The food was excellent. I am a vegan and the fried mushroom starter was excellent. The rest of the party enjoyed crispy prawns. The salad, entree and side orders were all fantastic. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will certainly be back here

   It was fantastic for our work group at 5:30pm - little noise (no other people!), good service and fantastic food.

    I like this restaurant for its stylish decor and interesting food, but because many of the dishes offer unusual combinations of ingredients, they can be hit or miss for me. We enjoyed the fresh oysters, chicken liver mousse, and chicken/beef tongue skewers, but didn’t care for the burrata and toast, which I found heavy handed, or the autumn salad, which was more a collection of sweet fruits than a salad. Chocolate cookies were also a disappointment because I expected something with a lot more chocolate incorporated into the dough, whereas the predominant taste with these was more sweet than anything else. I’ll return to try more dishes but would describe this food as more innovative than comforting, so again, a mix of risk and reward.
