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.

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.
