    This was a wonderful experience. My wife and I went for our honeymoon, and the team at Enigma made a great effort to make it special. The food was amazing, the pairings were great, and the staff was probably the best part. The service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was a wonderful expression of a combination of techniques and flavors that made this an all around fantastic meal. We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants, and they don’t always deliver. However I am dumbfounded that Enigma Yorkville only has one star. An absolute must visit, and for us an absolute must revisit.

    My husband and I dined here on Christmas Eve for the Old Mill's Famous Christmas Buffet. It was excellent as always. The selection is just enormous and there's everything you could imagine. The Roast Beef and Turkey from the Hot carving station was delicious, along with Yorkshire pudding and fabulous stuffing and cranberry sauce! We never miss this buffet if we are staying at home for Christmas. A big thank you to Karen, our waitress-she is phenomenal! So personal, so attentive and just a lovely person to talk to. Thank you Karen! I look forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow night at Disco Night at the Old Mill once again with Jay Vasquez and Groove Marmalade! The winter ala carte menu looks great as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night and hello to Karen and all the wonderful dining room staff who work so hard. Cheers from Nancy and Dennis, Oakville , Ontario

    Wow.. This restaurant left me and my partner absolutely at a loss for words. Before I begin HUGE shout out to the most amazing server I've ever met, Graham. He really curated our experience and brought a personal yet professional level of excitement to our dining experience. Every dish was crafted with immense care and quality. The story behind the dishes and the flavour profile was nothing short of a immaculate dining experiences. Huge thank you to Chef Daniele for exceptional food and a wonderful conversation. We will absolutely be back again soon to go through this culinary journey again. - Eric & Stefania
