Picked this restaurant from the open table app. So happy with our choice.
From the moment we got to the restaurant every staff member was friendly, knowledgable and made our experience great.
The food was amazing we started with the duck pate to share. A perfect sized dish to enjoy with no fear of filling up. The pickled blueberries perfectly cut through the rich creamy pate without detracting from its taste.
Our entrees were the duck and the tenderloin. Both cooked to perfection medium rare steak. Medium duck. The sides were beautiful especially the crispy fried Brussels leafs.
I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back soon.
Since we got there the treatment was espectacular. Our waitress gave us an outstanding service The food was amazing since the starter the main course and the dessert. It was summerlicious. Highly recommend

A staple of the Yorkville are, Sassafraz is a high end restaurant and as such one would expect impeccable food and service in an exceptional ambiance. Sadly, one of these elements was missing during a recent dining experience. The waiter, Michael, had attitude from the start. He was abrupt, ignoring our request, and simply due. We were shocked and tried to make light of this experience. Fortunately as the dinner progressed he softened his attitude and rose to the level of the establishment he was representing. The menu could be smaller with choices as it was confusing. The meat platter for $24 dollars was feather skimps in the quantity of items on the board. The mussels were excellent as was the bread served with butter superb crust and flavour. The tenderloins was very good. I suggest they offer the option of a larger portion than just a 6oz one. I found the 60z too small for me. The cod was also very good as was the vegetarian eggplant dish. A simple ice cream dessert was all that was needed to round off a good meal and I had the pistachios which tasted of real pistachio and not some pistachio flavour. Its a pricey restaurant with dinner for four with drinks and tip topped into the $500+ range.
Overall great dining experience. I took my mom out for dinner here and we both enjoyed the food, service and overall atmosphere. We ordered to share the duck pate, Atlantic salmon, Quebec wild boar, and strawberry cheesecake. The salmon tasted so fresh and by far my favourite dish, followed closely by the cheesecake. I felt like the pate had a slight metallic after taste, and the boar was a little fatty for my liking. Subjective to my taste buds though because my mom loved everything! Will be back and eager to try out the different dishes.
The ambiance was amazing but our service was not the greatest. I kept stacking up my plates for the servers to take but they weren't clearing the tables and wouldn't check on us as much as you'd expect at a nice restaurant. The mac and cheese was surprisingly delicious and the steak was decent, nothing special but the collard greens and mushrooms were amazing. I'd go again for the ambiance alone :)
We had a nice experience at Sassafraz. Excellent service, good sized portions and a beautiful dining room.
I really enjoyed the seared tuna salad and the steak tartar was also delicious.
There’s a great patio if you prefer to enjoy the fresh air and people watching.
Amazing location and super awesome service! The manager, Ricky was phenomenal. He gave us a table to enjoy a drink while the kitchen was catching up with their full house. Vinay provided a great service too!
Service was amazing, called in to let them know we were going to be late and they had accommodated with a new time. Servers were also attentive to orders. Ordered the Wellington County Beef Tenderloin (6oz) and Canadian Atlantic Salmon which both were cooked to perfection! Steak was medium rare as requested and salmon tasted just as lovely. Dessert - flourless cake wasn’t the best but it tasted better with the side of ice cream that comes with it, a little too sweet for our liking, although would highly recommend this restaurant for any type of setting to dine in!
Had salmon tacos and steak. Steak was wonderful, cooked to absolute perfection! Ingredients are extremely fresh. Service and ambience was great as well!
A beautiful evening at Sassafraz to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was magical, the food was delicious and the staff super friendly and helpful. Only a hiccup with the birthday cake but the staff quickly resolved the problem - a great experience.
