“TvBross is the best place for cellphones services“

“The food is good, but not worth the $150 per person price tag.

Drinks: music for the empty room—fascinating, with multiple layers of flavor. Everything is blended so well, it’s a true masterpiece of creativity.

Starter: Tomato bread. Fresh and vibrant—the combination of flavors feels like a symphony playing in your mouth.

Main Course: Seafood paella. Portions were small, and it was way too salty—honestly, saltier than any other paella I’ve had at other places. The overwhelming saltiness ruins the entire seasoning; it completely takes over your palate. The waiter told me it is normal to be salty, but honestly it is way too much.“

“we went there last night ! ordered half octopus . its came and we didn't like it so much. waitres asked why we didn't finish , we said we didn't like it so much . Manger came to the table (before the bill) and asked what we didn't like in the octopus... and than she went to back and came back with : taking the charge of the octopus from the bill (its $59) !!!! great service !!! in very respect !!! with not even 1 word negative etc. !! amazing !!! we definitely will come back !!!!“

“TLDR: Taking the food AND the overall experience into account, this is by far one of the best higher-end restaurants I have been to in Toronto. Make sure to go. I went w my Spanish boyfriend and he was blown away, so it has at least one stamp of authenticity :) haha
Food
Ordered for 2 ppl: Sangria, Mixed Croquettes, Garlic Shrimp, Bread and Garlic Aioli, Chicken and Rabbit Paella
Sangria was delicious, great balance of 'juice' to wine haha. The apples were so sweet!
The pic attached only contains 2 out of the 4 croquettes we got. One croquette was creamy and rich, one was lighter. Both were delicious. The breading wasn't super thick and crunchy, which we both really liked. All other croquettes we've tried so far have thicker, crispier breading, which kinda distracts from the filling. These were perfect!
I spent the entire night obsessing over the garlic shrimp. They were cooked to PERFECTION. I always accidentally overcook shrimp so I was so impressed by the texture AND taste. And I love the dish it was served in. I want to learn how to recreate the shrimp so badly.
I'm really glad we got the bread and aioli as well, we kept making bread, aioli, olive oil and shrimp 'open faced sandwiches' ? The garlic aioli was seriously perfect, I've had aioli that's overly salty or slightly sour. This had a perfect balance of flavour.
Finally, the paella was a wonderful entree. You can see that we attacked it before we remembered to take pictures. One portion was more than enough for us. I enjoyed scraping (and eating) the socarrat. The rabbit was a little 'gamey' for me but that has nothing to do w how it was made, I'm just not used to it. The chicken was great.
We had a bit of leftovers of everything (except the sangria ?). We could've ordered one less thing but I'm glad we sampled as much as we did. I want to return w a bigger group to try more tapas out. They were out of a few items by the time we got there (8pm), but it wasn't an issue.
Service
There was only one server working. He was also the one who greeted us AND was bartending. It was so impressive. He was so friendly and informative. We were indecisive about whether one portion of Paella + one tapa would be enough for us, and he gave us the suggestion to get the bread + garlic aioli w the garlic shrimp, because they're a great pair. Boy was he right. I hope we can see him again if we get a chance to return!
Atmosphere
The restaurant is sooo cute, I can't get over it. The lighting was perfect for a date night WITHOUT being super dim. Rare find in Toronto lol. The decorations were so cute.“

“Ranked no.4 best restaurant in Canada! Very difficult to book. Today grabbed a booking, Good cooking, service also very good and atmosphere is cosy! Unfortunately tonight we had a very loud female customer in our next table which spoiled the night a bit! Highly recommended“

“Dropped in during the taste of the Kingsway for drinks , we had the garlic shrimp and the grilled calamari.the shrimp was so good we had to order more.
Eduardo and his wife have put their heart and soul into this restaurant and the food and service is outstanding .Can’t wait to try the paella.“

“Best food in the city. A master of their craft. Highly recommend. The service is incredible as well.“

“Kale & Cauliflower salad and grilled octopus legs.....yum yum“

“Amazing mixed paella (ordered ahead). As good or better as what I've had in Spain with fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, (proper) Spanish chorizo and chicken. very authentic (my 6 year old loved it also). They also recommended a nice dry white wine to go with it. Picked up some imported chorizo and manchego for later 🤤.“

“Anniversary night and a very local spot we had not been to in ages. Lovely cocktails before the montadito w/ tomate and manchego, which was so good we ordered it again after our mains. Spaghetti carbonara and braised beef cheeks were perfect. Deserts were just right. Couple glasses of wine later....“

“Fresh, delicious food and amazing service!“

“I went last Sunday n I do like churros, unfortunately this time they were not well done, first bite I could feel the dough, anyway the girl was so kind“

“Tapas and Paella along with the captivating Flamenco weekend show makes for a great night out.“

“My husband and I dined here on Friday and it was a lovely experience. Rachel, our server, was very knowledgeable about the menu items and offered great service. We had the fried cauliflower, flat iron steak, and churros. Everything was delicious and we would 100% go again!

Vegetarian options: The fried cauliflower is a delicious vegetarian option - I'm not vegetarian but I opted for one of the vegetarian options because it looked so tasty!“
