Went to the Scarborough location and found it easily. The display of treats are beautiful, little works of art of the eyes. The few macarons I tasted were amazing. The sea behind the counter packaged the items with such care and boxes used to present the items as a gift was perfect. The bakery has a simple store front, which I like. It means they spend more time on their amazing product than the decor - a simple clean bright space. The dessert items are the stars and the sales experience was the same.

An airy industrial space that offers quality Italian dishes for all types of pallets. The service is very professional and upbeat. We went for brunch and had two dishes and drinks. Both were large portions and fresh. The eggs were free-range and you can taste the richness of it. The pizza dough was not chewy but had a nice texture. The seats at the smaller tables were not comfortable though, the bench on the side looked more comfy. The kitchen is open. It is noisy but you can see which dishes you want to order. And it was tough... They all look good!

Update: still does not disappoint. Serving sizes are respectable and prepared with care. Love the paintings on the wall. Art is by @goudcreated - Shane goudreau.

Heard about North Kabab on the social media food scene. The place is not new but it keeps getting great reviews. We decided to get an order for pickup on a Monday. We were greeted so nicely and showed all of the options on the menu. The lady's enthusiasm at the counter was so awesome, I wanted to try everything! We decided to get a family dinner for 5, as it had a nice variety of things. For takeout the presentation and portion sizes were fantastic. The meat was cooked nicely and not dry, spices were lovely. Can't wait to come back and try more. There is lots of seating too for those interested in dining. Food was prepared quickly, our walk in order took only 20 min.

Very nice fine dining experience after visiting the art exhibit. The dining area is very spacious with an open kitchen. I was surprised how quiet it was with an open kitchen. We had the choice to eat inside or out, although the garden looked nice, it was very hot out. The staff were young and very attentive and personable too. A plus, for a party of six it felt like we were constantly attended too.

A variety of dishes were ordered, tuna melt was poplar and well received. Chicken Salad BLT on fresh sourdough bread, roasted cauliflower salad with a side of chicken salad, and lastly Chicken Milanese. All were excellent. For desert we shared a Lemon olive oil loaf. It was like a moist pound cake. The price was in keeping with the venue and other restaurants like The Garden Restaurant. It was a nice treat and if presented with same opportunity I would do it again.
