The Lake Inez Mystery Patio is one of the most unique dining experiences in Toronto. Reservations…read moreare released one month in advance on the 15th and get booked up within the same hour or night. The 3.5 hr experience is hosted on the rooftop of the usual restaurant and the price includes drink pairings (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). I am not a huge wine drinker myself, so I messaged ahead inquiring about whether the pairings were mostly wine. They responded that 3 of the 6 drinks would be, and kindly offered to substitute them for a special cocktail for me instead! The whole experience from start to end was lovely, with amazing storytelling from Zac and detailed explanations of each dish from the two chefs. I had so much fun during the entire thing, time flew right by and there was not a dull moment! The dishes were creative, and you could tell everything was well thought out. My unique cocktail was delicious and stored on ice to the side, with the server topping it up each time a new pairing was introduced. The rooftop decor was cute and added character. I would highly recommend the Mystery Patio to anyone who loves to have a good time while eating great food!

Each dish was like amalgamation of inspiration from all over Asia. We ordered the shawarma - was perfect balance of wagyu fatty , pickles dipped in beet juice citrusy and garlic sauce simply delicious. Miso black cod was tender and flavourful but not too salty while the bed of rice reminded me of Dimsum with my grandma on Saturday morning when I wanted to stay home to play maple story. And finally the corned beef tender and crispy. The vegetables added a lighter dynamic to the dish.

Food is a hit n miss too, someone from our group got ill from the food. It is dimly lit which is good, clean washroom. But our trip was soured by poor service.

Ordered several craft beers on tap & the two gents tending bar were great conversation without being annoyed we were chatty (here ahead of a concert at the Danforth) If you haven't had their food, or been in for a beer or cocktail, do yourself a favour and go.

We shared the duck confit appetizer that was a special, as well as the fish tacos and BBQ wings. The fish tacos tasted the best. Although they were loaded, it could have used more fish. The duck confit was unexpected large in portion for $19 which was a nice surprise. It was also good, but could have used a starch to soak up the sauce as the dish tasted pretty salty without a starch. I guess if they added a starch it would have become an entree not an app so it could be tweaked better for an app. Finally the wings were very disappointing. There wasn't much meat and they were way overfried. It was so dry and not tossed in enough sauce. The ranch sauce was the best part of that plate. I ordered a cappuccino at the end and it was way too milky. I expected better since they have the whole espresso machine get up. Overall it was decent. If I'm in the area again I'd give it another shot.

The Favorites We kicked things off with their saffron‑kissed Arancini--bite‑sized spheres of rice and smoked mozzarella, godsends dipped into bright tomato-marinara and pesto. Next came the Pizzano pizza: a perfectly blistered crust layered with pepperoni, Calabrian chilies, fior di latte, hot honey drizzle, and aged Parmigiano--an addictive balance of sweet‑heat and savory richness. The pillowy Gnocchi arrived next--smothered in butternut squash purée, earthy wild mushrooms, hazelnuts, sage brown‑butter, and a final snow of Parmigiano. And the Fritto Misto was a crunchy delight: lightly breaded shrimp, calamari, scallops, all perked up with zesty lemon‑caper aioli. Setting the Tone We started with cocktails, which hit the right note--elegant, balanced, and a little unexpected. They added a celebratory lift that carried right into the meal. Service was smooth and welcoming, striking that hard-to-nail mix of polish and warmth.

Our mushroom paprika was outstanding and would just say just a bit salty. The Owner came to greet us which was lovely. I cannot think of anything but the word spectacular about the desserts. Our group tried a chestnut puree, a puncs torte (rum cake) and an apple strudel and they were definitely homemade and brought us back to how our parents baked when we were growing up as my Dad was an award-winning baker with his lovely tortes and other baked goods. There are vegetarian and vegan options - you just need to let your Server know about your requirements. Please make it a point to go to this restaurant and they will make you feel as though you have come home for a wonderful meal. The person who I assume does some of the baking, Annamaria Torok, also offers weekend "workshops" at the restaurant for those interested. Her classes as for baked goods as well as main courses. They also have copies of her recipe books there for sale if you want to try to make these sumptuous creations at home.

This place is an absolute must try if you've never had Georgian cuisine. We also tried shkmeruli, which is roasted chicken leg quarters doused in the creamiest, most decadent garlic cream sauce.

Service was amazing, the waitstaff gave great hospitality and they all went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Shoutout to the girl who gave us a super fun tableside mixing presentation!! Try to get a table inside, however their street patio is nice to eat on when the weather is decent. Absolutely will be returning to try their lamb khinkali which unfortunately they were sold out of today. Prices were super reasonable for the amount of food we were served.

My picky child has recently started loving butter chicken, so she was also very excited to try out a new spot. We were able to make a reservation for a Saturday dinner. The small dining room was almost at full capacity, but the servers seated us quickly and took our order. We ordered various items to try, and although good, the butter chicken was not one of the best I've had. We enjoyed most of our meal with the exception of the mango salad. Will we return to eat here again? The verdict is still out.
