    From every single bite to all the members of the team that we had a chance to talk, it was a pleasant experience. We had a beautiful bottle of Blaufränkisch with the tasting menu for two and ending this nice journey with the recommendations of the sommelier with some dessert wine. It was amazing, we had a great night. Portions were generous, quick and efficient service made us even happier. This restaurant is a great example of tradition, culture, flavor and success.

    Great experience. Very generous portions and felt it was a good value, which is rare in the Toronto restaurant scene right now. Excellent food, and very friendly service. I would have given 5 stars across the board but my taste for Mexican food is only 4 stars.
