We loved this restaurant. There was great energy in the room, the food was delicious and our waitress was exceptional. The pita with Taramoslata was exquisite; the sable fish was superb, grilled perfectly; and the triple cooked potatoes were yummy! We were visiting from Vancouver, and we will definitely return when we come back to Toronto.
