Fantastic date night deal. Everything we tasted was great: octopus, pork belly, steak with chimichurri, tiramisu. Great service as well.

Greeted instantly with friendly service. I knew how passionate they were from the moment I entered the restaurant. I had the truffle risotto and it was the best I’ve ever had. Hats off to service, food, and drinks

Excellent Restaurant with an awesome owner. The food was wonderful, and the restaurant has an excellent deal for two people. My go-to in the neighbourhood.

Clandestino nails the vibe with expertly crafted cocktails, flavourful shareable plates and warm service. A hidden gem perfect for date nights or drinks with friends — definitely worth the visit!

Highly recommend! The date night special is super worth but also they have buck a shuck everyday? Date night special ($120) is available everyday and includes: snack plate, 2 apps, 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 drinks which can be changed to wine.

Service was great and my friend and I felt cared for :) Only things that we didn’t care too much about but could be changed were the signage for the place, it looks great but it’s easy to pass by. They also only have 1 washroom but it is wheelchair accessible!

What we got:
Caprese salad
Lobster tail

Flank steak with chimichurri

Cheese board
Pana cota

Lots of oysters!

This meal was one of the best we’ve had in years. Every detail was impeccable. We did the date night and WOW. The amuse-bouche, the beef carpaccio, the steak, the gnocchi with bone marrow, the desserts, the cocktails… everything! Even their house-made sauces to pair with the oysters. We will 100% make it a point to dine here every time we’re in town.

Took my girl here for a new years date night. Absolutely fantastic. It was a warm inviting atmosphere, my girl loved the music, the food was incredible, from the presentation to the flavour, texture combos and portioning, everything was perfect. The Waiter, who also happens to be the owner and the chef, was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate. He was very attentive even with 4 other tables filled, everyone's food was served promptly, cutlery was replaced after each course, the wine glasses and water glasses were never empty and I cannot stress this enough, it is incredible that he does food prep, kitchen management, reservations, serving and everything that comes with owning a restaurant by himself, with such unwavering excellence. I would also like to give a shout out to the 2 kitchen staff who keep all these amazing dishes coming so quickly. I left after dinner to take my girl to a movie and very quickly fell asleep from a food coma in the theatre, it was a great night. I made sure to tip $50 in appreciation for the dining experience he has created and I will be coming back again regularly for date nights. THANK YOU.

You can tell the guy running the place really cares about what he's doing, and it reflects in the quality of the food and service.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto!

I dont usually leave negative reviews, but this restaurant should not be in business. The owner is extremely rude and has a terrible attitude. He refused to serve us because we didn't want to get his 120$ "date night" special, even though we were 3 girls. Reading his responses to previous reviews shows how disrespectful he is to his customers. He didn't have any customers when we went in either. Do not waste your money here.

Came here with my wife for my bday dinner. It did not disappoint! That was the best waiter I’ve had in a very long time. He’s also the owner and you can feel his passion for his craft. Very warm, friendly, knowledgeable. We got the Date Night deal. The value is actually mind-blowing given how pricey going out for fine dining in Toronto has become. $120 gets you a bottle of wine + 2 apps + 2 mains + 2 desserts. And you can combine it with buck-a-shuck oysters. Scallops were fantastic. Tartare was delicious. Oysters were paired with this unique Jamaican hot sauce that packed a punch. The bone marrow over gnocchi is a smart combination. My only critique was the steak medallion could’ve been more tender as it was a bit overcooked; I’m a medium rare kinda guy and it was more on the medium-well side. 100% would come back!!

Amazing experience. We went here for my partner’s birthday and honestly I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Delicious meals at an unbeatable price. Staff were so friendly and treated us with free drinks and upgrades. I recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a spectacular experience with supporting local businesses
