Had one of the best meals of my life here- and I've been to multiple Michelin-starred restaurants- and I would highly recommend! We did the high end wine pairings and it was worth it. The courses were all hits with no misses and the service was phenomenal- everyone really goes ut of their way to be attentive. Couldn't recommend this place more!

Horrible experience. Most courses are creamy and rich. I actually had stomach pain and vomited after I finished the dinner.

Celebrated my birthday with 6 courses tasting menu. Everything was superb and extraordinary. I loved my experience there. The menu was well curated and thought of. Star of the show were the fish courses !! definitely above and beyond! The staff made sure we had everything as needed ! The instant polaroid camera was a nice addition to my birthday celebration.Things to work on:- Some of the servers did not know the dishes very well so we did not understand it fully until the menu was handed out.- There were additional charges to truffles that were not discussed. The server asked us if we wanted truffles as the taste may not be everyone’s cup of tea but failed to declare it’s at extra costs. Only found out when paying the bill.- The dessert course did not stand out like any Michelin star restaurant. I was disappointed. Very ordinary flavors and simple intake.- Tables too but for small seating. Please consider having smaller tables for part of 2!

Dined in with large group, each dish were unique and full of flavours. Drink pairings were 5/5. Awesome experience overall but the atmosphere is more suitable for small groups. Will revisit for sure!

Michelin Star distinction doesn't always fully reflect whether a given restaurant truly deserves this award. Enigma, does deserve it, indeed! Ambience, friendly staff, presentation of the food and- above all, the layers of taste of each dish create a unique experience. Bravo Enigma!
From September 2023. Went to celebrate a special occasion! Really attentive service and great place to celebrate - they took a Polaroid of us as and gave us a complimentary dessert too. Beautiful presentation and great food. In the bag they packed, we received truffle granola and a brownie.

A hidden gem!!! A recent family birthday dinner was truly memorable, with an extremely well executed, innovative and balanced 8 course tasting menu by Chef Quinton and his team. Wine pairings by Sommelier David Ouellete were innovative and reasonably priced. Special shout out to pastry chef who is exceptionally talented and really raises this repast to the next level. This resto definitely deserves it's Michelin Star. It is a shame that it was not busier on a Friday night but if you have not been and appreciate exceptional cuisine splurge and spoil yourself with a visit before you cannot get a reservation.

My boyfriend and I had the most disappointing dining experience at this restaurant for Valentine's Day. What was supposed to be a special evening turned into a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications that left us feeling neglected and unfairly treated.The process started off simple with an online reservation for a table. We were later contacted by the restaurant, offering us a choice between wine or another item from their package to take home, which we mistakenly thought was a complimentary gift as part of a special Valentine's Day dinner package. We were so exciting to be there.Upon arrival, we were stunned to learn that our reservation was actually for a "take home package" and not for dining in. This was a complete surprise to us as our confirmation clearly stated a "table for two at 4:00 pm," with no clear indication that we were not going to dine in. The fine print mentioning "home dinner pickup" was easily overlooked by first-time visitors like us. It supposed to be “time to pickup” bottom and no mandatory 18% tips if it is a pick up order, they should not mislead people.After explaining the situation to the first manager, a table was reluctantly offered in an adjacent dining section. However, the owner/chef approached us in a confrontational manner, claiming our accusation of being misled was "unfair," despite our claims that no such clarification was made during the initial phone call.The situation escalated when we were informed that dining in would require paying anew, as the home package and dine-in menu were priced differently. A second manager attempted to resolve the issue by offering us the dine-in menu without extra charges, applying a discount to accommodate us. However, this quickly turned into a nightmare when, just before the main course, we were told we needed to pay an additional sum, drastically exceeding our expectations based on earlier conversations.Feeling cornered and with our evening already ruined, we sought a resolution, only to be met with further indecision and lack of empathy from the restaurant staff. Our request for a partial refund or to simply enjoy our meal was met with bureaucracy and a lack of decision-making authority. I don’t understand why the manager cannot take in charge, so what is the meaning of having two managers in the restaurant? Managers were trying to help, but as they said they are small people, that could not decide. I felt so helpless at that time.Eventually, after expressing our immense disappointment and distress, we were promised a full refund, though the constant changes in their statements left us with little trust in their word. We left the restaurant heartbroken, having spent hours for what turned out to be a distressing ordeal, questioning if our treatment was influenced by bias or prejudice.This experience has not only ruined our special occasion but also left us questioning the integrity and customer service ethos of this establishment. It is horrible. I would NEVER recommend this restaurant, as the treatment we received was unacceptable at any level of dining. The most “impressive” thing in this restaurant is changeable responses, and my tears. If I can rate 0 star, I would definitely do that.

Very flavourful intense food,. Very much an experience as much as a dinner. Every plate was beautifully and artfully plated. Amuse bouche set a good tone of good things to come. Perfectly cooked duck and wagyu beef. Wine pairings very thoughtful/well-paired and generous pours....and flexible depending on preference. Overall, European with significant Asian influence. Definitely worth it for a special occasion. Peaceful and private ambiance. All the staff were super helpful, attentive to any food allergie. Nice bonus meet the chef at most courses even on a Sat. Definitely Michelin experience, and glad toronto has to offer! Highly recommend
