We loved our meal here and cannot wait to return. I know everything is expensive in Toronto now and this was no exception. Was the value there? Difficult to say. I've had recent meals that were equally as excellent that were less expensive. That being said, the service was good, food was excellent and the vibe was casual yet warm and inviting. I Definitely recommend.
