Everything about Bar Isabel was incredible. Food was top tier, service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was terrific. We were craving patatas bravas and they served us up a plate that made us feel like we were back in Barcelona. Can't wait to go back!

We have enjoyed Buca for many years and make it into Toronto 1-2 times per year. This time we found our dinner not as enjoyable. We love the Eggplant parmigiana, one of the reasons we coming back. Our appetizers were both luke warm to cool this time and not that enjoyable, we should have sent them back. Our main server disappeared 3/4 into our meal and he only came back to out table for the bill payment. The rest of the meal was ok, not the usual wow!

Outstanding experience. We did chef table with 10 course blind menu. I was hesitant at first but it definitely did not disappoint. It was a variety of food with amazing drinks pairings. We picked the cocktails! I couldn’t eat raw meat and the chef was kind enough to accommodate that! Amazing experience! Would highly recommend if you’re into these things. We definitely walked out full!

The tasting menu experience was wonderful--we had one vegan at the table, and she was blown away by the variety and creativity of the dishes. The George is extremely accommodating to dietary preferences to a level I hadn't seen before. The whole experience was so special. We had 7 dishes, and that was the perfect amount!

INCREDIBLE MEAL! If u can, sit at the Chef's Bar. U can really appreciate the attention to detail the chefs and staff put into cooking and plating the meals. Truffle mushroom pizza, brocollini, ravioli, seafood stew and tonight's Gelato flavour was coffee. Perfect meal and the service was impeccable. Will definitely go back.

Great food and vibes. Their 2 people tables are a bit more for a casual experience. While it’s not a good intimate first date spot it’s definitely a great spot to catch up with friends or have a yummy dinner. The pineapple fried rice is one that looks good on Insta and tastes good in the belly. Would recommend lychee martini or stick to beer. The cocktails while good might over power the flavours of the food.

Everything was exceptional! Our server, Peter, made the experience pleasant, enjoyable and memorable! A true gem of a human, who gets people, is attentive to detail and incredibly customer service-oriented. The food - every dish was better than the last. It’s challenging to choose a favourite but the Raw Scallops, the yellowtail hamachi, the gnocchi, and the beet appetisers were all HUGE favourites! Our least favourite app was the green salad but it was still good - probably something one who enjoys a bit more of a bitter taste would enjoy. For the main course, we had the duck, the spaghetti, the lamb shoulder and the steak. The steak was EXQUISITE, followed closely by the lamb shoulder. The fries with dipping sauce were TDF (to die for)!

Great experience. We had several rounds of Tapas and Cocktails. The service intervals were perfect. Was Jan 1st and there was still an energetic atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing. Smaller portions for those used to American sized servings. Will definitely come back.

First time dining here. Tori is awesome. She made sure we are taken care of and picked great wine pairings for my friend and I! We ordered two apps and two pastas. All are all delicious and memorable. They are pretty filling too so we did not have room for desert. I definitely recommend this place and I’ll come back to try other items on the menu!

Matty was definitely onto something with this spot. The staff/servers were absolutely a pleasure to be served by, the food was just as brilliant, if not better. The decor and aura was just something on its own. Cannot wait for this spot to get a Michelin star along with the respect it deserves! Kudos, this is definitely one for the books!

The food was outstanding, the wait staff are all incredibly attentive and friendly, the space is beautiful and cozy yet contemporary. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We did the curated menu for $100 a person and there was more than enough food for the two of us, I would say it is very well priced for the quality of the food, presentation and overall experience. The amberjack aguachile was fantastic, as was the lamb masa.

This was my first time going and… WOW - No wonder they got a Michelin star. It was a pleasure to sit at the counter and watch Chef Daisuke Izutsu prepare each dish. Every single dish was a work of art. You must go for the sake pairing as well. Each drink complements the dish it’s served with. Can’t wait to be back again!
