I had dinner with my charming 9 year old daughter. Although the restaurant was very busy, our waitress took good care of us and made our night out together lots of fun.
Our group gets together for dinner quite often usually in Toronto. We chose Tesoro by reviews as well as recommended by locals. The food was good it wasn't mind blowing, generous poetions. The crab cakes were very dry. Soup was great and mains were satisfying. The service was lacking a few things, friendliness and attentiveness to detail. When we arrived we sat and waited about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We had to flag a server down to order a drink. We asked about wines which the server didn't know about so she went to find someone who did another 5 minutes. It's a very small restaurant, I was sitting at the end of the table and got bumped more then once by servers walking by with no apologies. We ordered our food the server didn't write it down and had to come back and ask us again. When our food did arrive, the server didn't do a table check (my apps were terrible). I didn't have a chance to tell her and I ended up paying for it even though I didn't eat it. Main courses took awhile but there was only one chef with an assistant working. When the mains did arrive, a few of us had no cutlery and with no check back by the server or manager, we waited, again to eat. The server's didn't smile or have good manners.
Upon leaving, not one person working said goodnight or thankyou. It's this attention to detail and value to customers that make us return to a restaurant. Not sure if we'd go back.

We really enjoy this restaurant. Our problem is that it is becoming so popular it is very hard to get in. I guess everybody likes their good service and fine food all at reasonable prices.
