Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5 We all ordered from the Lobsterlicious menu: Starters: Lobster Bisque, Fried Calamari Main: Lobster Risotto, Butter Poached Lobster, Grilled Lobster Dessert: Coconut Cream Pie, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Tahitian ice-cream Cocktails, Beer We had a great evening and I will return. The service is impeccable and attentive. From our arrival at the valet parking to the service during dining and back to retrieve our vehicle. I highly recommend making reservations. It was busy even on a Monday. The restaurant is located on the lower floor of a condominium building accessed by an elevator or a staircase. The complimentary coat check is at the entry of the upper stairs. This restaurant definitely qualifies for a date night or special occasions.

Scaramouche located near Avenue Rd. and Edmund Ave (along Benvenuto Pl.) is a modern French…read morerestaurant serving up delicious eats with views of the Toronto skyline. The fine-dining restaurant is hidden inside a condo building with no signage. Valet parking is complimentary where there is no other parking available on site. Reservations are highly recommended as this is not a place where you'll likely get a table if you walk in. Usually this is a place for special occasions with family, friends, or your partner. My party of 9 (as per our request we sat in 2 different tables) dined at Scaramouche on a Friday night. Our tables had the same waiter and the restaurant was half full of customers when we arrived. We didn't get a table with the view of the city skyline but staff were nice enough to let us go on the terrace to take photos after our meal. The menu is divided into appetizers, pastas, and main dishes. All the pastas can be made into an appetizer portion. There were also some specials - a lobster bisque and a lamb main dish. Food wise, these were the items I tried during my dinner there (other members of my party ordered different things but I did not try them): - Tempura zucchini blossoms (shaved zucchini, stracciatella, arugula, cherry tomato pistou, salsa verde, and fine olive oil) - $23 - Terrine of foie gras (riesling jelly, quick pickled cherries, triple crunch mustard, toasted hazelnuts, sour cherry glaze, sea salt broiche) - $34 - Romaine hearts (caesar dressing, chopped egg, Parmesan, and toasted bread crumbs) - $19 - Filet Mignon (whipped potatoes, green beans, mixed mushrooms, red wine jus) - $65 - Sea scallops (edamame, celtuce, snap peas, pickled honey mushrooms, cherry tomato, ginger gremolata, lime leaf butter sauce) - - $54 - Brown butter walnut tart (maple ice cream candied walnuts, and maple caramel sauce) - $15 - Lemon madeleine cake (blueberry compote, lemon curd, yogurt sherbet, and vanilla crumble) - $15 - Dark chocolate mousse (cocoa nib crumble, coffee sherbet, chocolate sauce, and caramel foam) - $15 - Coconut cream pie (coconut custard, chantilly cream, white chocolate shavings and dark chocolate sauce) - $15 - Ontario strawberries (white chocolate vanilla cremeux, crispy shortbread, riesling elderflower jelly, strawberry puree, and small meringues) - $15 In terms of appetizers, the tempura zucchini blossoms were the perfect crunch, paired well with the creamy stracciatella cheese. The cherry tomatoes and salsa verde brought a fresh and light element to the dish, making it perfect for the summer. The terrine of foie gras was rich and delicious. The condiments on the side (the riesling jelly, pickled cherries, etc.) complemented the terrine well to make it less heavy. We didn't get broiche as indicated on the menu but a few small toasts. Wish we just had a few more pieces of bread though! The caesar was fresh was delicious as well. For the mains, my four scallops were cooked perfectly - translucent in the middle. All the ingredients in the dish made it so fresh and light - the perfect summer dish. I had a piece of filet mignon from my partner. His beef was cooked well to his liking...however, someone at my table had to send back her beef back as it was cooked too well done. The waiter apologized where the kitchen made her another filet mignon (although she had to wait a bit). The waiter told us later that one of our desserts would be taken off the bill to make up for the poor cook on the filet mignon. Desserts wise, we had 5 people at our table so we decided to get all 5 desserts to share. We celebrated 2 people's birthdays and staff were kind enough to write "Happy Birthday" on the plates as well as add a small candle. Desserts were good but nothing mindblowing. The restaurant is known for their coconut cream pie where there was so much coconut in each bite. Service wise, our waiter was friendly, attentive, personable, and a bit quirky. He made sure to have our waters refilled where we never had an empty glass at our table. Our napkins were also folded back when we left to use the restroom. He also apologized several times when the cook of the filet mignon was not correct for one of the members of our table. He also cleaned the crumbs off the table when we were changing courses. Overall, he did a good job of serving us that night. Overall, Scaramouche serves up quality food in an intimate setting with the view of the Toronto skyline. The food is made well and the service is what you'd expect from a fine-dining restaurant. This is definitely a place to celebrate a special occasion with family, friends, or your partner!

Wonderful local resto on Gerrard west of Woodbine…read more The food is wonderful. We tried it out for brunch last Sunday. Lots of options including some creative options and a lot of Benedict's. They also make a lot of baked goods to take away (cookies, scones and beignets). The roasted potatoes with the brunch offerings were sooo good. One of the best I've had. You can reserve online during the week but on the weekend it's waitlist only. Just keep in mind. It's a rather small establishment maybe about eight tables. Having said that well worth the visit so do check it out sometime. Parking is on the street nearby or you can get there on the TTC via street car.

Digby Scallops with Leek Terrine: Id reccomend passing on this one. This dish consists of scallops, wrapped in leek terrine, topped with some caviar and served cold. The scallops were wonderful, and the caviar was quality. However, the leek terrine was not to my liking. It was far too fibrous and masked the other components. Stuffed Rabbit Saddle: A vast improvement over the terrine. The rabbit alongaide the sauce was bursting with flavor. My one complaint was that the rabbit meat was very lean, and the meat was almost taut. The foie gras helped even out the dish, and was the highlight for me. Dressed Beets: A wondeful partner to the ribeye. The beets were slightly sweet and refreshing. The beets provided a satisfying bite that was perfect with the softer squash. Having some of this as a palate cleanser in-between the ribeye was a killer combo. 30 Day Aged Ribeye: A beautiful cut of steak. The meat was cooked perfectly, the crust was just right, wonderfully salted, and the butter was phenomenal. Honey Cake: I enjoyed this dessert, but it wasn't very cake-like. Visually it looks more like a crepe cake. But texturally it gives custard or cream. Its a delicate flavor that is only slightly honey. The honey cream that comes with it is also very good.

Words fail me as I don't quite know where to begin to describe this restaurant. You just gotta go and check this place out yourself. As far as the food is concerned, the dishes are tapas sizes to be shared amongst friends. Here's what I enjoyed: Boneless chicken with pepper jelly. Omg ... so tender, juicy and flavorful. The pepper jelly was the perfect pairing to the chicken. Sansho broccolini. This is the surprise of the night. I am not a fan of broccolini, but this dish was bold in its taste. I loved it very much. Smoked beef tartare. The dish that brought us to this restaurant in the first place. It came to us covered in smoke. Great for boomerang!!! Grilled octopus. A very nice tender dish that's beautifully presented with potato roses. Very elegant. Miso cod. Nice gentle tasting fish. Yum. The service was on point. You can request for drinks to be made to your liking. The server was happy to give suggestions. Great night out. Highly recommended.

They had a limited menu because of the festivities so we opted for the tasting menu. I was blown away by every single thing thay was served to us but my standouts were the broccolini dish (spicy! Beware.) And the zucchini and radish dish (so refreshing and cool after the spicy brocolini). The drinks were delicious, the atnosphere was great and the servers were pretty awesome. Would I go back? Yes. For a celebration. This place was a splurge. A gift for dear ol' pops. We really enjoyed our time here.

Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.
