Have you got a special bottle of wine that you've been saving? Not sure what meal to pair it with, or where to drink it so that someone else does the dishes?

Restaurants which choose to are now allowed to welcome customers who bring their own wine, and to charge an appropriate corkage fee. For this, they must seek a psecial endoresement to the licence. The law also entitles patrons to take home an unfinished bottle.

So, if you'd like to bring your own bottle, please call us first with your reservation, and give us your instructions: when to serve the bottle (if it's a Champagne, for example, would you like it served before the meal, during, or after?), whether to decant it or not, and whether you'll need to have it dropped in our flash chiller.

Our corkage fee is $18 per bottle or $25 if you'd like to have it decanted and served in large crystal glasses, and $30 if it's a magnum. Just give us a call at 416-596-6405. Sorry, beer and spirits aren't covered.
