    Very good experience, waiter acknowledged my friends birthday that I noted in the reservation. He went above and beyond and got a small dessert with candle for my friend. My friend has never been to Cibo before and I have always loved Cibo, I used to visit the Yonge location all the time which I understand is sadly closed now, so first time at Yorkville and I will for sure be a regular. Thank you!

    We decided to take advantage of the Winterlicious menu at Sassafraz. The choices offered were a good variety and excellent value for money. The service was fantastic and the ambience was lovely. The restaurant is nice enough for a special occasion but unpretentious enough for a casual dinner as well. The cocktails were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.
