Gracious service, delicious food, wonderful ambiance. The mushroom bruschetta were excellent and the grilled squid was outstanding—possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. Really appreciated the piping hot plate it was served in! Such a pleasure to be able to revisit a favourite restaurant and find it’s as good as ever.

Overall the food was very flavourful. The cauliflower soup was nicely spiced. The shrimp was a little too spicy for the taste of one of our party. The branzino was nicely prepared with Israaeli couscous. Also the kale ravioli was a good vegan choice.

I am a UofT alumni so really enjoyed being back on the campus at Hart House. Menu was different from what is posted online so that was confusing. Food was interesting.
