Excellent atmosphere. Tasteful decor. Attentive staff. Food was outstanding. Beautiful arrangement on plates. Desserts were highlights… gorgeous, complex matrix of flavours. My partner had rack of lamb, I had black cod. Both excellent. Pricey but typical of such service and quality. Benoit is an exemplary host.

Fantastic restaurant for special occasions. Excellent service and ambience, and the food was top notch. Definitely a bit pricey, though it's understandable.

Trio is a nice surprise. In a city that is limiting fine dining options, Trio fills this void. We selected Trio to celebrate my daughter’s graduation and we enjoyed the experience. The service was great, atmosphere was modern and warm, and the food was innovative with many taste surprises. Our dinner rounded out a great day.

We had a wonderful dining experience to celebrate our anniversary. We attended the Tasting Tuesdays event, and we were graced with a phenomenal 4 course meal, exemplary customer service and loved the personal touches of having a custom menu wishing us a Happy Anniversary, along with a complimentary treat to finish off the night.
