Did the 7-course with pairings on Friday. A few things different from Charles’ menu, including a rabbit three ways (ballotine with pistachio, croquette, and rack - yes, RACK of rabbit, you need some surgical precision to prep that).
This was absolutely up there in best meals I’ve had in Toronto in years. (That cherry sorbet with armagnac and cacao espuma was mind-blowing… and the armagnac/arabica sauce on the lobster, I would do shots of anytime.) Really fantastic. Great service at the bar, too. The pairings were pretty interesting, and I’d say that on the current wine list there are some screaming bargains (ok maybe not Yannick’s personal first-growth Bordeaux cellar selection!). They are in the midst of redoing the wine list but there are definitely some value picks to be had.
Tablecloths? Who cares. Really really amazing food.
