   What a great experience from the good to service. I have never had better Italian food in my life. This restaurant truly deserves a second Michelin star

   Excellent restaurant, you have the view the atmosphere. The food was great and very well presented. The team was great all around from the washroom attendant to the managers. While it will set you back with the bill it is worth the experience.

   We had a wonderful and memorable experience at Don Alfonso. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The drinks were exquisite.The bartender Cayden was like a master of cocktails in a competition, highly skillful and fascinating to watch. Steven made excellent suggestions to the drinks and menu selection. He was courteous and attentive. I truly enjoyed the Open Fire and Mai Tai drinks.The bread was made in house and it was sublime with the black truffle butter. The Nova Scotia lobster was delicious. The Rib Eye steak from Japan simply melted in my mouth. The restaurant also offered a free dessert platter for my partner’s birthday which was a lovely surprise. Overall, the food, the service and the ambiance is impressive and we will definitely go back there again.

    Food and its presentation were outstanding! The bison was one of the tenderest cuts of meat I have ever had!! Would go back just for that. Our server, Liam, was knowledgeable when asked for recommendations and provided excellent service from beginning to end! Tables were well spaced to allow for conversation but one table was exceptionally noisy which made it hard to hear, but when they left, all was good. I definitely need to go back to try other dishes.

    We had the $140 tasting menu and it was just enough food for us. The food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday boy was treated especially well with a special dessert and gift. Frank, our waiter, took good care of us, as did the rest of the staff. It was pricy but it was a memorable evening!

    The food is amazing, no doubt. Service could be better in timing and notifications. Notification meaning... We weren't told they don't do corkage so that's a bit of a bummer after bringing a $300 bottle of wine. The timing of drinks and food also missed the mark a bit, example we usually expect coffee and tea to come with dessert right away to help with the sweetness, but it took a while.

    My partner and I came to try the tasting menu on a Saturday evening and was very disappointed. The food sounded promising upon description and presentation, but severely lacked flavour or interest. Sauces were recycled or had very similar profiles for most courses, making each dish predictable while everything else simply just had no flavour. I can commend the different textures used, but overall it was pretty lacklustre, especially with its Michelin Star status. Unfortunately the table beside us had the same experience and even spoke to to the manager to give their thoughts. I cannot recommend DA1890 for the food, especially for this price point, but was very pleased with the staff and overall service throughout the night.

    Our waitress Marylue was simply a delight. Her smile was so welcoming, she really made us feel comfortable. The ambiance was really nice. Food was good, 2 dishes in particular stood out - the soft shell crab ravioli and the bison were out favourites. It was also my husbands birthday and they gave us a complimentary dessert and a wine bottle cork. Wonderful experience!

    Absolutely Incredible! Thank you Ashley for being such an amazing host and showing us an incredible night. It was my birthday and my husband took me to the restaurant as a treat. We went with the signature tasting menu costing $200 per person. The wine paring costs $120 and there is a variety of cocktails available for a wide variety of pricing. The duck was to die for and by far my favourite along with the selection of canapés. Amazing. The rest of the dishes are still by far the best food I’ve tasted just the ones mentioned are my favourite. If you go with the tasting menu then you don’t get to choose what you are brought as it is a set menu. However the $130 a la carte allowed you to choose 1 dish from a list of dishes from the three categories. Amazing. Totally worth every dollar spent. Let the valets know that you are going to the restaurant and they will charge you less than if you are staying at the hotel. Bring cash for parking or they will charge you tax. The restaurant even gave me a birthday gift in the form of a card and a cork as a souvenir. Amazing. Thank you so much for such an incredible night and service.

    The beef carpaccio was insanely good. I don't even like Beef Carpaccio, but we ordered it because my companion loves it. I could make an entire meal just out of a bowl of this dish. The ravioli dish was off the charts amazing. The flavours meld perfectly. The Wagu beef was probably the best piece of meat I've ever eaten. The Bisonet had so many flavours balancing the dish, it was a pleasure. Both meat dishes were cooked perfectly. Shout out to Raygun who was wonderful in service. The sommelier was expert and truly added to our evening with a perfect suggestion to complement the meal.

    I travelled from Ottawa 2 weeks in a row to eat at this restaurant. Once again the service and food was beyond words. Kelly, my waiter, was attentive and provided the best possible service. Kayden, our mixologist, created four or five amazing concoctions that were simply outstanding. I don’t normally drink but am elated to make an exception for Kayden. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world (Le Bernadin, Jean Georges, Susur, Daniel, Per Se, etc) and this restaurant was just as good as those. Just try their signature tasting menu and you be transported back to authentic elevated Italian cuisine.
