Our honest take

Dinner, drinks, a rooftop and late-night programming can stay in one building.

Some dining areas are unavailable, the rooftop depends on weather and late-night rules can include age limits or minimum spends.

Plan the visit

Transit: Use the 510 Spadina streetcar to The Well area or arrange a drop-off at 8 Spadina Avenue.

Access: An elevator reaches the restaurant and rooftop. An accessible washroom with an automatic opener is on floor 38. Some dining areas are not accessible, so reserve alternative seating.

Hours and timing: Dinner, bar, rooftop and Friday or Saturday late-night hours differ. Check the exact booking and weather policy.
