We went in Jan (2013) for our anniversary celebration. The atmosphere of the place was great for romantic dinner. It's too bad it's not a custom to have valet parking here at Toronto. We had to find a parking spot on the street and walked against the wind to get there.
We chose the 4 courses tasting menu ($55 per person + tax + gratuity) and we also ordered a lobster noodle on top (almost $30 with around 1/2 cup serving). Portion size was small comparing to other tasting menu at other restaurants. The afford of attempting to create unique taste was there. We found the dishes are very Asian inspired, which you can have much bigger portion with fragment of the cost it is charging. My husband liked the "saba fish dish", which reminded me what I could get at a Japanese restaurant. I liked the egg dish, which had a very complex taste combination and texture combination. Duck breast was very much like Peking duck, except it only came with ONE piece, and you can get a plateful with 20+ pieces at a Chinese restaurant (for $12.99). Chocolate dessert was good, buttermilk dessert....good try but missed it. Total of the meal came up to around $160 CND, then PLUS TAX and PLUS GRATUITY.
We cannot justify to eat there again when we had something much better out there.
