    The food looked phenomenal from pictures, but tasting them was on a whole other level. Some dishes, I will admit didn't really have anything special to them, but it was still delicious and was a nice break in between such flavourful dishes. We went with DaiLo's Choice from seeing other people's reviews on the restaurant and we made the right choice. It cost each person around $155 including tax and tips for 15 dishes! It was great value for what we got and we left so incredibly full. The service was absolutely amazing. The servers were so welcoming and so helpful, as they explained how to eat each dish and even helped cut some dishes as well before we ate.

    We made a reservation because it was a special family birthday and DaiLo exceeded our expectations. The tasting menu was incredible, and Geoff’s personalized service made the evening memorable. Highly recommended.
