From the OpenTable editors: Don Alfonso 1890 is the epitome of fine dining, from the delicate Italian plates to the chic decor. The restaurant has collected countless awards for its nuanced approach to Mediterranean cuisine, including one MICHELIN star. The tasting menu is a can’t-miss experience, but a la carte dishes like ravioli stuffed with pheasant are equally tempting.

The ambiance is excellent, featuring a panoramic view of Ontario Lake. However, the food is average compared to other Michelin One Star restaurants I've visited in different countries. While the waitstaff and sommelier are attentive, their service lacks genuine warmth. Overall, the experience doesn't make me want to return.

Food was excellent. Small delicious portions. Great view of the city. Service was none existent. Had to ask for water too many times. Waited way to long to get drinks. Server did not check in on us. We had to constantly flag him down! At $2,000 for 7 of us - SERVICE HAS TO BE BETTER! I want to be paid attention to.

We had the tasting menu. The food was excellent and the preparation and serving of each course was an experience. The staff was knowledgeable about all the ingredients, offering suggestions from the chef and explaining each dish along with the wine pairings. Unique experience and was perfectly curated.

Thank you to all the staff at Don Alfonso 1890 for a memorable evening. The tasting menu is worthy of more than a Michelin Star. The wine pairing from the sommelier team led by Jules was spectacular. To personally meet the chefs was a memory I will not forget. Black truffle butter is a thing of pure indulgence. I have been privileged to eat many times at Alain Roux's 3 Michelin starred restaurant, The Waterside Inn, Bray which has held this award since 1985. Don Alfonso is up there people with their imagination and detail. I feel a second star coming soon. Thank you for a great evening.
