This was my favourite place to take people from out of town and celebrate special occasions. It was unique, beautiful, quiet, small, and had impeccable food, drinks and service. The place remains the same in lovely Hart House, but unfortunately the food was a horrible disappointment. Despite promises, the inspired menu, fresh ingredients and original dishes of previous chef Suzanne Baby are no more. The amazing wines and sherry menu also gone. It is now tasteless pseudo Italian food you can find anywhere in chain restaurants. Even the beautiful printed menus have been replaced by badly designed ones. What a pity.
