craig follett: Try the Molecular cocktails - Vanilla Hickory Smoked Manhattan is amazing
Noush SynchAudio: Vanilla History Smoked Manhattan is my favorite
Chris Boutet: Have to try the vanilla and hickory-smoked Manhattan, but at $45, I'll wait for a special occasion. In the meantime, the Newly Fashioned is an excellent anyday alternative.

Shyndyg: TIFF 2012 TIP: It looks like the bar at the famous Driskill Hotel in Texas, but the food and atmosphere are a distinctly Canadian fusion. Enjoy the Tobacco Manhattan- a standout among the A+ drinks. Read more.
EatMeDrinkMeNYC: The Chartreuse makes the copperhead a flavorful choice. The Tobacco Manhattan is quite the variation on the classic. Although the drinks are pricier than even a NYC speakeasy, it was well worth it!
Sean Rucker: Tobacco Manhattan is the best cocktail I've ever had.

Rob Rebel: French Vibes with sophisticated cuisine and beautifully crafted cocktails. 🍌
T Z: Very nicely done French food. Eurobass en croute is a must.
Andrea MacKinnon: A stylish French restaurant with an incredible raw bar and great selection of cocktails. No matter what you end up choosing from the menu, be sure to end the night with the Ziggy Stardust Disco Egg.

Rhiannon Marquez: Get the ribs, can't go wrong! And the mint julep is yummy plus cute presentation
Hina: I came here with my friend who was visiting from Mexico and she absolutely loved it! Said the food was as close to authentically Mexican as can get. Excellent service as well, very friendly.
Eater: At the forefront of Toronto’s Mexican explosion, in just three years this restaurant ‘chain’, which has spawn two off-shoots, went from three employees to selling $10 million a year. [Eater 38 Member]
