Montecito - Toronto, Ontario

So, let's start by saying this restaurant is gorgeous! The menu well out together and quite nice variety. The food was delicious, oysters were fresh and the minionette was sooo good. The scallops... EPIC!... truly good... Sadly the octopus, very tough tho and was lacking flavor for some reason. The rest ... was so nice, including the staff, accommodating and very organized. Totally visiting this place again! Read more

Had a good Christmas party with my coworkers there. Delicious appetizers and charcuterie board. However I was underwhelmed by the lamb pasta entree. The pumpkin pie was a good dessert and the service was awesome!

We dined here for a work dinner on a Wednesday night. We got seated next to the kitchen so it was quite loud to keep up with the conversation. Service was great. Food was ok, my main course came out lukewarm but it looked like everyone else enjoyed their food. I ... was surprised at the small Canadian wine selection, although the wines we had were delicious.

Stumbled into this place on a Saturday evening for dinner and was happily surprised with how upscale the experience turned out to be. Accommodating and friendly service - waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu which is chef-driven and fresh. Best dishes were the KALE SALAD and a raw tuna ... special app. Kale salad was a mountain and could probably satisfy 3 people. The main dish I got was shrimp & steak which was a tad underwhelming flavor-wise. Pricey but worth it for the fancy setting & service. Disappointing main course but I'd go back and try it again for a special occasion. Read more

This is a farm to table Californian restaurant with an Italian flare. We have been here a few times and every dish is well crafted and executed. While the restaurant is owned by a film director, it's not one of those Toronto big name restaurants that's opened by business folks ... purely to earn profits. This is a very much "chef driven" restaurant. What stood out most was their desserts - Lunch and dinner. Their pastry chef is pretty creative. Their waiters are also very well trained. Our waiter knew how each course was cooked, and what detailed ingredients were used. His notes on wine recommendations were also spot on. As their menu always changes, my wife and I would definitely revisit! If you are looking for a cheaper option, go for lunch and their $25 three course was a good deal. Read more
