Absolument sublime ! Un des meilleurs restaurant que j'ai eu la chance de faire dans ma vie. La cuisine est pleinement maîtrisée & chaque bouchée est à la fois une découverte & une explosion de saveurs en bouche. Il est également difficile de faire mieux niveau service tellement on est traité comme des rois. Ce n'est pas donné comme restaurant, mais il vaut sans aucune hésitation son prix. Le menu du brunch est une excellente alternative pour tester le restaurant à un prix abordable avant d'y aller le soir pour se payer l'expérience complète.

Everything was really good! Just a little too expensive! 18$ for potatoes is a little much. Either than that service was top & good was delicious.

Amazing atmosphere & the staff were very attentive to details. The food… my god the food was phenomenal. We had the rack of ribs & the braised ribs as mains, with lamb dumplings & spicy potatoes as apps.
They also gave us complementary dishes for the delay in the service, (which we didnt mind at all) but just the attention let us know what kind of establishment Damas is.
Would highly reccomend, even if its a bit pricey. It is worth it. I will definitely come back!

Stay away from this place as much as you possibly can. $400 for 2 & it was total garbage. They also treat you like they are doing a favour in letting you inside their establishment (I would not call this a restaurant). Our waiter was rude & obnoxious. This is without a doubt, the worse place I have ever eaten in my life. If you are satisfied to pay over $400 for food barely worth $40. Go ahead. But you've been warned!!

Un brunch exceptionnel. Table d'hôte 3 services à 65$ plus 40$ pour l'accord des vins. Les sliders & l'accord Pigeon Hill était particulièrement apprécié. Une très belle salle à manger & une superbe cuisine ouverte. Service de tous charmant.

Restaurant is beautiful & service is fantastic.

The food itself, is a far cry for me, from fine dining. Everything tastes decent but it was neither better nor more innovative than a really high quality Syrian restaurant that is 1/4 of the price. It was $400 for 3 people without alcohol. The only standout dish was the octopus. The lamb kebab from the charcoal grill was the only dish that was actually bad. The sauces & accompaniments were good but it was cooked poorly.

Admittedly, this is my cuisine so I am more critical, but in Toronto there is Byblos which elevates regular Mediterranean & I was hoping for a similar experience. Even the desserts were run of the mill, nothing innovative or interesting. They need to be elevated at a place like this.

Unfortunately I would not come again despite good service.

Very different experience from our other visits.
Our first three choices from the wine list were not available. Then we were given the bottom of a bottle from the previous night & we had to return it.
Several items on the menu were also missing; notably common items like fries & rice.
The fattoush was very ordinary & the shish taouk portion was smaller & served with bland potatoes.
Twice now we have been very disappointed; won't be going back any time soon.
Almost feels like a change of management?

EXCELLENT brunch. Je suis déjà venue pour le souper aussi. Le brunch est un moyen à plus petit prix d'accéder à la cuisine exceptionnelle du Damas. Je recommande vivement!
