Bespoke cocktails and bar bites in an upscale setting. Ambiance is on point with candles and dimmed lighting and they're open late to extend the experience. Gianluca elevated the experience with stellar bar service. #BarChef #Prequel #BarChefNYC

Easily one of the best spots in Toronto. The cocktails the food the atmosphere is simply head and shoulders above other places. Every detail has been considered and tailored to just create an unbelievable environment. And considering we are in Toronto, extremely well priced. Most impressive of all, is certainly the stuff and service.
