Incredible atmosphere & absolutely awesome service! Really had a fun time. The "salmon" tartare is a must have, as well as the truffle burger. Unfortunately, the risotto fell a bit flat since it was a bit too salty...but overall a very good experience!

Decided to try a Vegan meal & was pleasantly surprised. Went simple this time with a plant based cheese burger. I could tell from the first bite but then it grew on me. Will visit or try again. Paired the burger with a nice Ale (Alchemiste Red). The starter soup which was carrot based was refreshing.

Very nice restaurant with well priced food. Got the salmon tartare & truffle burger. Both were very good & was about 40 all together. One staff (though it was a sunday) so she was really busy & we waited on our food longer then expected. Onle rate for 4/5 because creme brulee was pretty bad (tasted like scotch pudding) my friends got the curry & absolutely loved it to bits

Beautifully decorated place. However l have had better when it comes to vegan burger & did not like the truffle fries that much, small portion & weird texture. I did not really taste the cheese in the lov cheeseburger, & the vegan patty had a strange dry texture. So-so service.

Heard about this place from the show ‘worth it’ & absolutely loved the food. We ordered the salted ricotta & dumplings to start & the mushroom burger with kimchi fries. The service was quick & efficient but do ensure you make a reservation as they were super packed.

Great food & ambience, the Mujaddara & California bowls tasted amazing. Mushroom burger had good flavours & crunch, could get more dill sauce.

Restaurant serves vegan food, my partner enjoyed the curry dish, I had the burger & it was okay, fries were not good in my opinion, under seasoned. Cute restaurant tho.

Servers were friendly & prompt to begin with. However, I could make a comment on the efficiency at which the business is run. There was only one server running orders to the respective tables, while plates piled up at the kitchen window. At the end, we waited over 15 minutes to pay for our meal & leave.

I had the tagliatelle, & while very creamy; it lacked flavor. Aside from the savory "bacon" bits & the lemon, there was nothing else contributing taste. Would definitely benefit from some garlic as well as a few other spices. My partner had the LOV burger, it was....just okay. Very dry. The highlight of our meal was the crème brûlèe, it was delicious.

We frequented the LOV location in Toronto back when it was open & I expected the food to be the same, if not similar. For the price, the food was very underwhelming.

The atmosphere was great & dècor is very pleasing. The interior designer did amazing!
