Let me start with pros: it was a neat experience, our server was very friendly, we were with great company and overall had fun together. (We will have fun no matter what!). The concept was a great idea. The only good food was the chocolate mousse dessert! Now the cons: it was WAY overpriced for the experience. People say "you pay for the experience" bull crap! Not only do you purchase tickets in advance for food and reservation, when you go that price does not include drinks or the service charge. Additionally for the price we paid, the food was down right gross. 1. It took us 45 minutes to get a drink. 2. We were over an hour and half in before we got food 2. The rolls they served I'm pretty sure were Hawaiian Rolls with a side of garlic butter 3. The soup, I don't know what the hell was in it but by the time we got it, it was cold and I couldn't even, it it GROSS. 4. You get a choice of beef chicken and we got one of each. The chicken was so salty and insanely dry I could not eat it. The beef was supposed to be short rib, it was pot roast. 5. You had to take a golf cart to get to the restrooms. In the end they bring you a final check we knew would be a service fee and drink charges. I about hit the floor. For what they charged for drinks I could nicely stock a small bar. Beware of "death by fees". We were charged a fee to rent the dome, a service fee, a credit card fee, a processing fee when we prepaid for the dinner AND and another service fee on the final check which by the way was over the entire bill including the prepaid portion. (In which we already paid a fee) In the end the price for 6 people cost more than an all day trip to Epcot at Disney and would have got better food and drinks there. Anywho for anyone thinking of trying this out I highly recommend you don't. SAVE your money and take your friends or significant other somewhere else !!

A great concept, beautifully executed, great staff and service however for the price we paid (my…read moregroup didn't have to pay for the dome) the dinner was lackluster, it didn't help that the food came out lukewarm to cold, and our red wine was not only cold but all in our group agreed that it was not a good wine, and while we aren't wine snobs, we are able to recognize good wine from bad. We did order the cheapest bottle, but not an excuse by any means. Prior to the dinner, I tried out their pre-mixed negroni cocktail, and while it was a decent negroni, again the cost associated with it was too over blown. I can have a (better) cocktail at some of Toronto's nicest restaurants for cheaper! I think the event gets caught up in grabbing headlines, with a celebrity chef, none of that matters if the food is below par. I got the fish and it came with tiny bones a plenty too. As I've mentioned above, full marks for the idea, beautiful deco, great service but lacking in the food and drinks department. We did attend on their first week when temperatures were still cold, so warmer temps might have made this experience better with our food and wine not being so cool on arrival.

No one else was inside when I got there, but after I ordered and left I realized a line of 3-4 people had formed behind me! Seems like a popular place for sure. I was hoping to sit down and try some of the stuff I got inside, but from what I could tell there was no (or very limited) indoor seating. The service was wonderful, the focaccia was actually a recommendation from the staff and I'm so glad I tried it! Potato and rosemary focaccia - my favourite! This thing was steaming and it smelt so good. I had it while warm, and the bread was so soft but also springy. The potatoes were seasoned well. It was much larger than I expected and there are a lot of potatoes, so I can see this being around 2-4 servings! Butter tart - extremely sweet, exactly what you expect from a butter tart. However, the shell and sprinkle of flaky salt set it apart from other ones I've tried. I can see why everyone comes here for it, but this dessert itself is not my favourite. I had it fresh but bought extra to keep in the fridge. It reheats nicely in the air fryer. Pear and brie galette - not super great. It didn't seem as fresh as the other two, the pastry was kind of dry and dense. Not a lot of pear flavour came through, and the brie was also flat and dry. I had it within an hour of purchase without reheating, maybe a few minutes in the oven would've made a difference.

I was recently at STACKT Market to visit Las Muns. I drove from work in Mississauga on a Wednesday afternoon. Parking spots are limited at this market. I recommend parking on a side street. There's also paid parking across the street at Farm Boy's underground lot. Las Muns sells handmade empanadas. I loved this store. The empanadas were delicious. There were lots of flavours to choose from. There were a couple of vegan options, too. Most businesses run out of shipping container storefronts. It's cool design-wise. The downside of visiting during a weekday is that not all businesses are open. I'd estimate that at least half the businesses weren't available for me to peruse. As an example, Dayday Film is a camera store. I like looking at digital cameras from decades past. This place refurbishes older cameras and supports photography through them. Sadly, I couldn't visit this place, as it's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There's an open patio space that looked cute. I can see this space being popular when it's warmer outside. The lanterns and the Tiny Tom Donuts stand made me happy. There were heaters in this area. Maybe there are winter activities that happen here, but it didn't look like it with snow on the picnic tables. There was also a nicely decorated piano with snow on it. I see it being a nice place to hang out in the summertime. There are places to grab a snack or a drink. If you're looking for a dine-in restaurant, the only one that I saw was Sundays Pasta Lab. It was open when I was there. It's closed on Mondays. I'm glad that I finally got to check this space out. Normally, I drive past it to see a concert or a hockey game. It was a nice change. (103)
