    We were absolutely stunned by the work done in this place, the service was in point, always had to keep everything clean on the table and prepare for the next service, keeping the water and drinks always fresh. The ambience had a very cool vibe and the food was just a delight. We chose the tasting menu, and the wine was well paired and matched the taste of the meal. We were very surprised by how much food we had and felt like we ate for hours, which we did! Potions were perfect the presentation was beautiful and not too over the top. A Michelin nod experience we would 100% recommend.

    The later was outstanding what a lovely guy. Very attentive at the right times. The food was lovely. The only complaint we have is the parking. Not many places to park in that neighborhood.

    We had a fantastic experience at Rapscallion for our mom’s birthday! They were so attentive to detail - a birthday card was waiting on the table, the waiter said happy birthday as they greeted us, a birthday treat for dessert. It was all incredible - and to top it off the food was delicious, the place was decorated for Christmas and so cozy! Highly reccomend this restaurant especially to celebrate a special day!

    Food was phenomenal. If you want wood fire pizza then you need to go here. Small spacing allows for an intimate setting but it is a little noisy. Staff were quick and responsive. A true gem in the city.
