    Emily, an exceptional server, surprised me with a Carajillo, an unlisted item on the menu that she had discovered last night. It was one of the finest we’ve had outside of Mexico City. The belly dancing performance was enjoyable, and the kids were actively involved. The lively and energetic atmosphere made it a great experience for everyone.

    I just recently went here for lunch with my Fiancé for Valentine’s Day and it was a great experience. The choices for lunch on the menu are very limited and would not be for someone that is considered picky. The prices are decent considering they have to bring up all the supplies with the gondola but still on the pricey side. The views are spectacular and definitely worth it! I recommend going in right when they open at 11 so you can get a window seat. The service was incredible between the server taking our picture and very polite to the back staff taking our coats and hanging them up for us. I would definitely recommend coming here at least once for a great experience.

    HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We booked for our anniversary because we heard such amazing things about the restaurant and it did not disappoint AT ALL. First the food- we ordered the Focaccia (of course you just need to get this if you are dining Italian) , elk meatballs and the mussels. They did not AMAZING, the flavours and the balance of the dishes were on point! If i had to pick one i would say get the elk meatballs! For mains we got the gnocchi and the black linguine wow the sauce- based on other reviews saying it is a "small portion" I genuinely have to say it is your normal serving for Italian restaurants and the price is 100% justified for its components. Now for service- The level of care and service is beyond amazing, our server Kevin and i believe the manager were superb !! Kevin made our night a breeze for sure! We will be back for the brunch and to try other dishes dinner from the dinner menu.

    This is the best restaurant that I have ever dined in. Beef tenderloin was the best dish I have ever tasted; everything about it was amazing. Even though it says 4 course meals together it was about 9, so keep that in mind if you’re ordering the 7 course one. They even gave a pumpkin cake to enjoy for the next day. Service was also best of the best. Even though Canada doesn’t follow the Michelin guide this is probably a 2-star Michelin restaurant if you’re looking for a comparison. Please do me a favour and come to Eden!!!
