★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Palate-blowing. Wow. I can’t wait to come back. We ordered different dishes for the menu and spectacular after spectacular. The only thing I would improve was the waiting times between one order and the other, but I assume (because everything so fresh), it only means that every dish is prepared as it is being ordered.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have no words to describe how scrumptious est restaurant really is. The fresh, flavourful, balanced, well presented dishes that kept coming just blew us away.
From 72 hour braised short rips to goji butter deboned branzino, to fire wood bread topped with iberico ham, I fell in love with the food. Oh and if you haven't tried Ube flan, I highly suggest it. The unique subtle flavours of Ube with just enough salt to blow your mind.
Fan of cocktails? Me too, and this was no exception to the rest of the quality. From well chosen wines to specialized crafted mix, we just melted with the gorgeous flavours.
And if there's any other reason to visit, is to meet Chef Sean MacDonald for his love of dogs. ;) #junosaysthanks

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went here for my birthday. The interior is cozy and the staff were so friendly. The appetizers were well prepared and delicious. I suggest starting off with the Treviso and Golden Beets followed by the Duck Bucatini as the main course. For dessert, I HIGHLY recommend the Pavlova because it is so good with the merengue and floral violette cream. 5/5 would come back again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ All I can say right now after getting home from dinner is WOW! I can't put into words how delicious that was. Every single dish was incredible and oh yes we tried them all. I don't like mushrooms and the shitaki mushroom dish was my favourite of the night! The service was incredible. Our waitress was top notch and the manager/sommelier/hostess/amazing person Tes went above and beyond the definition of great service. There is not one bad thing I could say. You need to go here!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came to est for a one night only tasting menu and Imrun Texeira of Top Chef Canada was one of the guest chefs. Our waitress was lovely and attentive but the meal was a bit lacking. There were some good dishes and some not so great, and as a whole the meal had no cohesion. It felt like a menu that the chef's were still fine tuning and for $160, it missed the mark for me. There were dishes of French inspired, some that tried to play on Asian flavours, some that leaned on Canadian influence. There was no cohesion and it really did feel like a meal prepared by three different chefs.
I did love Imrun's trout dish. The fish was the perfect portion and the sauce and foam were amazingly delicious. There was also a green coconut curry ice cream that was very intriguing. The chicken liver mousse and the banana dessert were also fantastic.
The roast carrot was a miss for me, as was the duck. There was more sauce on the plate than duck itself. There was nothing special about the scallops and corn, nor the pork dish.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an enjoyable experience! Definitely perfect for a night of unrushed dining over good conversation. I love their shifting menu concept - at least I’m someone who likes to be surprised with new dishes. Their plates are uncomplicated and fresh. My friends and I shared 10 dishes all together! Our favourites were HANDS DOWN the 72 Hour Beef Short Rib, the BBQ Secreto, and the Use Flan. I probably could have gone without the Rabbit Jamon though.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really loved this place- food was incredible and pretty affordable all things considered. My partner and I always joke about needing to go to McDonalds after visiting nice restaurants but we were both STUFFED by the end of the meal. Happy we were finally able to go. Highly recommend saving room for dessert- the ice cream we had was a work of art in your mouth.
Only critical feedback: Atmosphere was okay, for such a highly acclaimed restaurant I was expecting the interior to match. Loved the concrete bench and light fixtures but the bar area seemed kind of cheap and didn’t match the vibe.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From beginning to end est was able to exceed expectations. From quality service to compelling original flavours est has easily been added to my top 5 restaurants to dine in Toronto. A small group including myself ordered every single item on the menu a suggestion made by our server and we had no regrets. For a group of four, you’re left satisfied not stuffed. The delivery of the food was prompted efficiently and the interaction with the sommelier was delightful. If you were looking for a reason to visit this restaurant here is your sign.
