We booked this beautiful space for an intimate 15 person dinner party, and every detail was perfect. It was upscale, and comfortable. The food was perfect and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

We recently hosted a vow renewal at Anemone. The planning process was incredibly easy.

Dany was able to accommodate multiple food allergies, and each of our guests felt safe and well fed. The food was also incredible; we loved learning about where the ingredients came from throughout the meal.

The service was some of the best I've ever experienced. I would 100% recommend Anemone to anyone planning a special occasion event.

My partner and I had the pleasure of enjoying both the prix fixe meal on April 19th, and the takeaway ham and chicken Easter plates on Easter Sunday.

The prix fixe menu was spectacular and playful, with such a variety of flavours. My partner and I chose all different options, which meant we got to try everything! I loved it all, especially the larb bowl, chicken and waffles, and mini egg cheesecake. The cocktail pairings were also superb. The cheesecake and amaro combo totally knocked my socks off! Furthermore, portion sizes were very generous and we both left stuffed.

There are a small number of tables in the restaurant, which made the experience feel intimate and special. I love the little vintage touches featured in the space, like the duck napkin rings.

The Easter dinner was also wonderful. The gravy was probably the best I’ve had anywhere, ever, but all parts worked beautifully together to form an impeccable meal. From the focaccia and herb butter, to the mashed potatoes, to the pineapple atop the ham, everything was expertly prepared and delicious. We have a little bit of the herb butter left over and I look forward to having it atop a bagel in the morning.

Thanks, Anemone and Dany, for helping make our long weekend extra special!

We attended the Valentines Prix Fixe event at Anemone. I am gluten and dairy free, my husband is not. It was easy to see which menu options were available to me before purchasing tickets, was prompted to note food allergies when purchasing, and received an email confirming this afterward.

The venue itself was so lovely and cozy. Parking was easy, even on the holiday. It truly feels like you are at a private dinner instead of a number at a restaurant.

A friend asked me afterward what my favourite part of the meal was - I couldn’t decide! Everything from the welcome snack to the caramel sauce on the dessert was excellent. The staff verbally confirmed (without me ever needing to ask) each of my GF/DF plates as they brought them to me, which made me feel confident that I was eating safely. At no point did I feel my meal was “less” than my husbands (I’ve suffered many bunless burgers and plain baked potatoes elsewhere).

We left happy, full, and looking forward to returning. Thank you Chef Dany & the Anemone team.

Attended our first Prix Fixe for Valentine’s Day. Everything about the experience was perfect and we cannot wait to go back. From the table settings to the carefully selected ingredients, it is intentionally beautiful.

The food was absolutely amazing - the asparagus salad was very tasty, chicken was particularly delicious, the dessert had so many flavours and the presentation was outstanding. You make everything so easy for us and the kitchen was cleaner than when you came.

We so appreciate you taking the time to be onsite and cook for us and it made the evening truly enjoyable.

My clients and I had an unforgettable experience at Anemone Dining. Chef Dany made planning a client party easy (I actually did nothing) and it was the best client party I have ever hosted! The food was spectacular, she had a signature cocktail made personally for me, the atmosphere was intimate but big enough to host a large crowd. The location is perfect and there is tons of parking across the road. I would highly recommend planning your next event with Anemone Dining & impressing everyone you know!! Thanks so much for an incredible experience!

Vegetarian options: Chef Dany supplied vegan options for guests including vegan cheeses for the charcuterie

Eating out is one my favourite things and since my husband works in the industry we’ve eaten at a variety of places and I have to say that Dany’s food is truly the best I’ve ever had.

We have hosted an event and attended Chef Dany’s Prix Fix’s and the experience is always bar none. The food is always exceptional, we feel very safe with our food allergies, and Chef Dany keeps the atmosphere intimate and welcoming for all her guests. We love how involved Chef Dany is with her events, seeing her mingling and ensuring her guests are having the best experience possible. I couldn’t recommend Anemone more and look forward to attending our next dinner!

I truly can’t recommend Anemone enough. My partner and I had our wedding here in September 2024 and the whole experience exceeded our wildest expectations. Throughout the planning process, the communication was prompt and the team was able to accommodate nut and lactose allergies with no issue. They provided an impressive variety of course and menu options which allowed us to build our ideal dinner, and everyone raved about the food and drinks. Highly recommend the specialty cocktails as well - we had a cocktail and a mocktail created for us based on our favourite drinks and flavours, and both were so delicious. The space was the perfect size for our group of ~20 (which is hard to find!) and absolutely stunning, and the service was wonderful throughout.

Thank you to Dany and her team for making our day so special!

Well we couldn’t have had such a magical day without you. Thank you to you and your team for making incredible food and for doing so much more than expected. The crowd was going crazy for every bite. We got so many compliments saying it was the best wedding food people had ever enjoyed. We felt so lucky to have you two witness the big day, we hope you had a little fun too. So seamless as always!
