AMAZING!!!! Firstly, if I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would. The service and ambiance was incredible. Ana and Domi were attentive and extremely friendly. I felt at ease. The food was the best I have had at a Toronto restaurant in years! I will be back very soon. I had to get 2 orders of the croquettes because they were delectable! I will be recommending Chica to all my friends. As someone that was previously in the industry, Congrats to management for building such an amazing team. I highly recommend chica!!!!

Patria is absolutely divine. The ambience and decor and lighting are all designed to provide a comfortable and comforting setting for the enjoyment of their exquisite food. Every dish we've eaten there is delicious, interesting, well-conceived in terms of texture and flavour, and perfectly satisfying, i.e. filling without being too much. The range of options on the menu is extensive, and the wait staff is helpful for navigating the sometimes-confusing experience of ordering in a small-plates restaurant. Service is super fast, so if you want a long evening to linger with your companions, it's up to you to eat slow (or order the paella, which take 45 minutes to prepare).
