This restaurant looks unassuming from outside, but once you're in, you can feel the romantic vibe right away. The greetings are so warm and genuine. And the room is luxurious and comfortable. The food is spot on- Delicious, fresh, perfectly seasoned and skillfully cooked. I would not hesitate to recommend this place for dates, a quiet meal, or a romantic... More

Very good quality food but it does come at a price. You could easily spend 80CAD+ for a meal with wine. Service very good too.

Our apps were good, but my saffron risotto had NO saffron in it. I sent it back, but they brought back the exact same plate of gluey white mush. My husband had to send back his beef tenderloin, which he ordered as med rare and got it blue rare. The super Tuscan wine was outstanding and watching the waiters argue... More

The service was great the food excellent! They allowed us to half the appetizer Pasta and Main course!

Went to carisma for diner. I had the minestrone soup to start which was lovely. For the main course I had the veal which was very tasty. Everything was very good, service very attentive and professional. My only remark would be that the accompaniment for the main course is maybe to basic for this type of restaurant.

The food is very good - no complaints per se, but I do find the portions for their pastas a bit on the small side. Prices are on a high side and though it is portrayed as "high-end" the restaurant is "very tight" in terms of seating and the ambiance is only "so so". I consider it more like a... More
