We regularly visit Joni and are always treated to a great gourmet experience. The steak tartar is a favorite of mine and the duck breast on the menu currently is spectacular. The restaurant has redesigned to become more intimate and welcoming and has live music now most nights which is not intrusive but adds to the ambiance. The service we receive is always great - special mention to Kozi and Akil - long-time staff who are knowledgeable and provide seamless service. We were given a sneak peak at the new menu coming January 23 and it looks amazing - we will be back to try it.

Delicious food and great service, my dinner experience exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I specifically chose this restaurant that I have never been to before for my birthday celebration because of the Grand Marnier chocolate soufflé, which was the most amazing dessert I have ever had. I hope they never take it off the menu because it is such a rare find in the city.

Small and charming with a rural Canada theme. The food is outstanding. Small menu done right. Only complaint is that the wines by the glass are uninteresting compared to the main list.
