The innovative dining concept and sister restaurant to RASA, provides a calm oasis in the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment District. The latest collaboration from Adrian Niman and Adam Minster (the team behind RASA) offers a selection of inspired sharing plates. Using local ingredients and refined techniques, SARA’s menu showcases cuisines and cooking practices from around the globe.

SARA ’s thoughtful design — from the furniture to the food — nudges guests to fully immerse themselves in the shared dining experience, disconnect from external distractions, and reconnect with one another.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: This oasis-like restaurant in a two-level Victorian is all about undistracted dining, hinted by the tabletop cubbies for stowing your phones. Power down so you can give your undivided attention to executive chef Lia Silva’s avant-garde and exquisite global small plates like salmon roe latkes with maple kombu, and tuna tartare with black truffle and potato chips.

Solid dining experience! Service was 5/5; our servers were knowledgeable and professional, checking in at numerous points to ensure we were enjoying our food. We would give the food a 4/5; there were some amazing dishes like the Brussels sprouts, chopped salad, and scallops. However, we got the halibut as a main and it came out quite dry, with a curry base that we thought didn’t suit the dish. Drinks were a 5:5; we got a smokey cocktail and a martini, both of which were made very well. Overall a great dinner spot with a lovely ambiance and great service! Would return and try a different main dish next time.

Table was ready 15 minutes late despite reservation. Main course came an hour after the second. No explanation / check-in from waiters. Definitely not worth the wait.

My wife and I recently spent a wonderful evening celebrating my birthday with a dinner at Sara. The entire experience - the food, the room, the ambience and the entire staff was exceptional. Special thanks to our server, Diko, for his great service and warm personality which enhanced and contributed greatly our enjoyment of evening out. I am recommending this restaurant to everyone I know and will definitely return ourselves.
