Best place in town before an event at Scotiabank Arena. Don’t even need to go outside to reach the venue after your dinner. The menu is concise but executed with care, using ingredients of excellent quality. I had octopus carpaccio and beef tartare, both were perfect. Short selection of wine but It must be acknowledged that they were selected with professionalism, at a very fair price. Excellent cocktail list too. Exceptional service, always on time without being overly nor rushed. Another great location from that passionate team.

We had a wonderful experience at Sassafraz! The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming, and perfect for an enjoyable evening. What truly stood out was the professionalism and positive attitude of the staff and management. I especially appreciated how attentively management listened to our table’s concerns and handled everything with kindness and professionalism. A few items were either not to our liking or brought to our table by mistake, and they graciously removed them from our bill without hesitation. It’s refreshing to see a restaurant that genuinely values customer satisfaction and takes feedback so positively. The staff remained friendly, accommodating, and pleasant throughout our visit. Thank you to the entire Sassafraz team for making us feel valued and ensuring we left with such a positive impression. We will definitely be back!
