LaVinia Restaurant - Toronto

Visited last Valentines Day with my Girlfriend and everything about the experience was outstanding. Seeing as this was months ago, my memory is hazy but the Iberico ham was delicious, as well as the Carpaccio which we got for appetizers. For mains, we both ordered Paellas and were served a full skillet of amazing rice and seafood. What really stood out to me was the quality of service and the refined atmosphere. I 'm no snob but many very expensive and 'upper brow ' restaurants fall short on service, but this was not the case at LaVinia. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and courteous, clearly experienced in the art of customer service. Being located on the north side of Lakeshore, the beautiful waterfront trail is just a few minutes away and is a great way to walk off the delectable meal. Have recommended LaVinia to everybody I know looking for a formal spot that delivers on a quality experience while not breaking the bank. 10/10, perhaps the greatest dining experience on Lakeshore.

It was lovely as always! Amazing service! Delicious food! Salmon appetizer is a must try!!

Beautiful Spanish Restaurant, Loved their paella and coziness of the place itself!

Lovely place. Had the risotto, very good quality. Tried the fish of the day, and Salmon was cooked perfectly. Found the dishes lacking in flavour, but maybe that cause I like spice. They were cooked perfectly, however, and I would return to the other dishes another time. Lovely ambience!! A quaint, comfy restaurant.

I really wanted to like this place. Their service was really good. The chef also came out a few times to check on tables which is always appreciated.My friend and i got the poached octopus it was ok. We also ordered the chorizo ratitioue appetizer. It was ok. And we got the seafood paella. The seafood paella was decent but the water that was used in it tasted a bit off putting. Nothing was bad.
