    The service was great. We had a wonderful waitress. She was very attentive and friendly ! I was extremely disappointed in the food quality. I was expecting more of the same calibre of all other Oliver and Bonacini restaurants.

    I made breakfast plans with a dear friend. The service was exceptional. Our server Maddie was very attentive, not too over-bearing, and was managing multiple tables at once. Her knowledge and bright energy was a warm welcome. The food was divine, however the wait for it to appear on our table took a little longer than anticipated. Would recommend this spot if you’re going to see a play, concert or movie at the Bell TIFF Lightbox.

    The main drawback was the limited number of vegetarian meals, especially hot entrees. Although the menu said the curry could be made vegetarian when I asked about it I was told that it was not possible. If that is the case the menu is misleading and another vegetarian hot entree should be added to the menu.
