I took a platter of all their desserts to share with my family tonight at my cousins birthday. I also took their two breads and kale chips home and am enjoying them. If you are a raw vegan you don't need any convincing. If you are not and have a lot of misconceptions about how raw vegan food looks like or tastes like I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed.

This is definitely a fun spot, but not exactly what I expected. I went on a Thursday night and it…read morehad a full-on vibe going, they had a live DJ and music playing, and the place turns more into a party/lounge atmosphere as the night goes on. It's a really cute space with a nice setup, but just know it leans more toward a club vibe than a calm dinner spot, especially later at night. We went specifically for their $25 "girl dinner" deal they have right now, in which you get a drink, starter, main, and dessert. For the price, it's definitely appealing, but I do think the quality reflects that. I got a cosmopolitan to drink and it wasn't my favourite. It tasted pretty bitter and didn't really have that cranberry flavour you'd expect. For starters, we shared the truffle fries and caesar salads. The truffle fries were actually pretty good, but nothing special compared to other places. The caesar salad was honestly pretty bland, and the portions were quite small. For the main, you can choose between sushi or pasta. I got a tempura roll and it was just okay, not bad, but definitely not the best sushi I've had. My friends got the pomodoro pasta and they weren't too impressed either as they said it was pretty bland. For dessert, we got the chocolate mousse cake. My friends said it was decent, but I'm not really a chocolate mousse person, so it wasn't for me. The biggest thing for me was the noise level. The music was really loud, like to the point where it was hard to have a conversation without basically yelling. I get that they're going for a dinner-to-party vibe, but it made it a bit difficult to actually enjoy the meal. We went around 9:30-10 PM, which is probably when it starts transitioning into more of a nightlife scene. Service was okay, the staff were doing their best, but it was really busy so they were kind of running around and it felt a bit hectic. Overall, it was still a fun night and I can see why people enjoy it, especially if you're going more for the vibes than the food. It just wasn't exactly what I expected for a dinner. I might come back to try something off their regular menu since it's pretty big and the mains are more in the $40-$80 range, which might be better quality. But I'd recommend it more if you're looking for a lively, going-out type of vibe rather than a chill dinner spot. However, I do think you can find much better food and vibes in Toronto!

Ok I gotta be honest. And I am very honest. I don't get it. I don't get these low reviews! I was…read morebeyond impressed with this place. We went for my friend's 40th just for drinks and food, and it was awesome. Ok should I maybe take off some marks for the prices which are far over priced. 30 dollars for a cocktail is nuts. Unless it is covered in gold and comes with some sort of food, that is far too much for a cocktail. But that was the only negative. Ambiance: 10/5 Wow. Those chandeliers are incredible. Very nice place. The lavender cocktail: 4/5 A little soapy for my taste but good. Calamari: 10/5 Best calamari I've ever had. Not greasy in the least slightest. The spicy tuna: 5/5: Awesome perfect little bite. Service: 10/5: They really go all out to make your birthday special with a little show. They also gave a delicious cake! This place reminded me of Vegas. Super cool and memorable.

The beet in the juice does not have an overwhelming earthy taste as some people do notice with beets. It had a gentle and sweet while still noticeable. The juice did have a sharp ginger flavour but along with it and the other flavours, it makes everything taste delicious balance. They have so many selections available. Check out their website if you are looking for juices to try. I did learn that the refrigerated juices are imade in-house every single day. 363 days per year at Village Juicery's our central in Toronto. The juices have a shelf life and thisis because they are made raw and unprocessed - No UV light, No pressure, No heat - NOTHING! The use organic fruits and vegetables are they are pressed every night. I wish we had one of these close to me!

Entry is a single door with a ramp on the inside. Servers were quick to seat my friend and I. Service was polite and timely.

I opted for scrambled eggs, home fries, and rye (they also had sourdough as an option!) The meal was very filling, could definitely be shared between two peckish people or saved as left overs for later. Meal has a blend of sweet and savoury, leaning more on the sweet side. The sausage is sweeter than others (I enjoy this but I know it's not for everyone. The Dutch pancakes are so cute and little, coated in icing sugar, and served with maple syrup on the side to dip. For drinks I ordered the Maple Foam Cold Brew. Make sure to stir/not put your straw at the bottom of the drink or you'll get a hit of maple! Once it's stirred it tastes great.

There's a variety of baked goods, food, and drinks to choose from. Their espresso tends to be on the mellower side - I think it's a medium body, mild & balanced, and pairs well with milk. If you're into pour overs, Detour has an incredible selection of their own coffee bean roasts. Not a coffee fan? No problem. I also recommend this spot to pick up the best artisan style sourdough I've had in this area (if you're not close to Dear Grain Commissary in downtown Hamilton). Crunchy crust and the softest sourdough inside. Perfect for a fancy sandwich or to add to a charcuterie board! You won't regret it.
