    Excellent good and service. I should have ordered the 12 course option as the portions are very small. Can't say enough good about this spot.

    Each dish was a masterclass in culinary storytelling: flawlessly composed, visually arresting, and emotionally resonant. The flavors weren’t just balanced; they unfolded with intention, precision, and depth, leaving a lasting imprint on the palate. The attention to detail, from plating to pacing, reflects a kitchen operating at the highest echelon of craftsmanship. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a pilgrimage for those who revere the art of dining. It's an essential Toronto experience.

    The opening courses were great, and the Toro presentation was one of the best I had. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. Our next course was a pork belly that lacked flavour and my first bite was a big glob of fat hidden in white sauce that almost made me gag. It was impossible to recover from that. Even the Kobe steak was hardly cooked and way too fatty. My suggestion is request no red meat. At the end we ordered two optional portions, one is a $50 Toro that we were assured is as good as the 3rd course Toro, but turned out nothing like, mainly tasteless and full of rice. We did not finish it. and the last was an optional $25 slice of this highly built up melon that was mediocre and not very sweet. I can a better melon for $10. Overall - meh.

    This is my third time dining here, and I have to say — it was the best experience yet. Everything from the food to the service felt even more refined than before. Especially the food because the service is always great.
