    Very good ambience! Also, my friends and I joined the delicious brunch. We especially love the flower wall and the sunshine from the ceil. The last but not least, the service is pretty good. That lady is pretty nice. She gave us more time to chat and no rush to order.

    Overall, dining at Sassafras was an excellent experience. I had been there only twice before, the last time being in August 2024. Though it was a bit chilly outside for lunch, which I would’ve preferred, we dined inside at the café. I have nothing but very positive things to say about the ambience, the quality of food, and the quality of service. In short, it’s a great place to meet for either lunch or dinner and great value for the money.

    Overall excellent experience. The steak wasn’t what I had expected. I think it was Sous Vide steak and the outside wasn’t seared enough, it looked pale on the outside. Still it was cooked perfectly. Otherwise, everything was great!

    We had an amazing dinner. I got the table by the waterwall, which I had requested and had fantastic service and excellent food! The vegan soup was wonderful and unique. Our waiter, Derrick, was very funny and super friendly. I really appreciated the 25% discount on Canadian wines and the changing of names for Americano to Canadiano in the coffee options. It's nice to see Sassafraz make an effort for those who want to feel some national pride during these difficult times. The macarons for my birthday was also a very nice treat. It was an absolutely perfect night at one of my favourite restaurants! Can't wait to return!
