About the restaurant
We had the most amazing experience. Josh our server very friendly and knowledgable of the menu and history of Akira Back . We met Sous chef Kim and answered all of our questions about the menu. The attention to every detail with table maintenance was spot on and the food was well presented and simple. The food was delicious and fresh. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends. Thanks again for a memorable experience.

About the restaurant
The food did not disappoint in any way. We did the chefs choice five course meal and it was truly outstanding. The octopus tacos and the venison carpaccio were truly amazing. The service was equally outstanding. They were very attentive. I would go back in a heartbeat. Best meal of 2019 for us!

Always a really great experience at Dailo. Me and my friends went for Valentine’s Day and got the premium tasting menu, it was everything we expected and more. Absolutely loved and enjoyed every single dish.

Awesome charcuterie and fondue. Great cocktails and wine selection. Be sure to reserve early as it is a very small, intimate bar. Servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about menu items.

Everything about this evening was exquisite. Dana was attentive and knowledgeable and helped us through the menu as well as the extensive wine list. Every morsel was superb and we left with full stomachs and very satisfied. Would recommend to everyone

Each dish was innovative and unique, combining flavor profiles that compliment each other. We went with our servers recommendation of the venison carpaccio, leeks dish, crab noodles and duck. We especially were blown away by the venison, leeks and crab noodles. I would definitely be back, it’s a nice alternative to all the other Toronto restaurants who create the same five dishes over and over again.

It was nice place. Would consider going back. Some of the food came out cold which sucked as we had to wait extra long for the venison. Was told 20-30 minutes but came out 45-50 min later and cold

Absolutely amazing!! Every single dish and cocktail was so good. Started with the scallop crudo, then had the mushroom croquettes and charred cabbage, and finally shared the Manitoba pickerel. Exceeded expectations. Super friendly servers as well!!
