Tbsp. is described across reviews as a chic, calm dining spot inside a hotel setting, with consistently attentive service and knowledgeable staff who help guests navigate a creative, high quality menu.

The atmosphere is noted as elegant and quiet, making it suitable for conversations, romantic dinners, or celebrations, and the dining room and decor receive compliments. While the majority of experiences are positive, a few notes point to dishes arriving cold on some visits, occasional pricing that feels steep for the portion or concept, and a brunch experience that fell short due to disorganized service. Overall, Tbsp. appears to offer a memorable dining experience with strong creativity, solid service, and a focus on zero waste dishes on newer menus.
Wandered in on a cold day, & found this chic, unassuming restaurant. The food was stellar & service was great. The waitress was super attentive, & helpful. I got the eggs Benedict & it came on the most perfectly toasted sesame seed bagel. The potatoes were well seasoned & it came with fresh fruit. I got a sweet Caroline to drink, & definitely recommend.
WOW ! Had a great time with a friend at this restaurant but we ate in the lobby of the W hotel to enjoyed the night with a DJ, very nice. Food & drinks were delicious & gourmet, service impeccable & the ambiance was the best of all, we ate, drank & dance, highly recommend !
Truly amazing dinner at TBSP. I had opted for the Festa option which was a 5 course meal to share. Every dish was unique sophisticated & packed flavors. My favorite dishes were the deer tartare & the mackerel which was shockingly good. The fish had none of the omega 3 flavor too it & was simply melting in your mouth, the preparation made this humble fish feel truly luxurious. I took 2 cocktails which had been suggested by the waiter & they were both perfect. They were cocktails which you can tell have been developed by a true Mixologist. I will most definitely comme back for dinner &/or drinks when i have the chance. Thank you for the great night!!!

I would not recommend this restaurant. Our experience began with parking; we were informed that leaving our car near the restaurant entrance was not possible & directed to use the valet service at the neighboring W hotel for $25. However, we managed to find free parking about 40 meters away from the restaurant on our own.The quality of the food was rather disappointing. We mistakenly ordered beef carpaccio, only to find out that the restaurant did not offer such a dish; it was actually beet carpaccio listed on the menu. Despite our error, the waiter accepted our request without clarification & brought us beets instead, which was frustrating. Furthermore, when we ordered a dish described as beef steak, what we received was beef cut into pieces & overcooked. Additionally, the prices for kids' drinks (non-alcoholic Shirley Temple & mojito) were equivalent to those of a glass of beer, which seemed unreasonable. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only ten of us for dinner, we were surprised to find an additional 18% charge on the bill for the large group size. Furthermore, the waitstaff included their gratuity in the check without consulting us, which felt presumptuous.In summary, the total price on the bill was exorbitant, considering the subpar quality of the food. We left feeling deeply disappointed; it was a regrettable experience. Don't be swayed by the attractive photos. It is difficult to call this restaurant Italian.
Première fois au TBSP & sûrement la dernière. - Ambiance : Ordinaire. - Service & Cuisine : LENT & FRUSTRANT. Réservation pour 11 personnes à 20h30, nous commandons à 21h30 pour finalement manger à 23h30 dû aux multiples problèmes reliés au Menu. Le menu en question: « On ne peut pas vous servi ceci ou cela, car il n'y a plus la viande qui vient avec les pâtes » ou « On ne peut plus faire cela, car notre menu change la semaine prochaine » ou « On ne plus faire vos entrées, car la cuisine ferment bientôt & le cuisinier n'aura pas le temps!! LIKE SERIOUSLY?!! Pourquoi offrir un Menu que la moitié des choses offerts ne sont plus disponibles ?!! Les entrées en questions étaient des calamars, c'est simple à faire des calamars en entrée !!! En plus, j'ai réussi à avoir de l'eau, de L'EAU vers 22h lorsque je suis là depuis 20h45. Revenons à l'entrée, nous avions dû changer nos entrées pour leur entrée de Frisso, mélange de calamars, crevette & poisson panées qui étaient froids & secs. Nos drinks, même chose, n'est plus disponible ou nous avons dû choisir autre chose. D'ailleurs, nos drinks sont arrivés après nos entrées. Normalement, c'est avant non?! UNE CHANCE, nos plats étaient au moins bons, chauds & goûteux. La serveuse était ne savait même plus quoi nous dire en voyant que chaque choix qu'on demandait elle ne pouvais pas nous l'offrir. Au moins, elle était courtoise & serviable. Au final, première expérience & sûrement la dernière dû au Menu & l'attente interminable pour manger.
The food & drinks were excellent, & the atmosphere was amazing. Rodrigo & Mikeal were awesome all night, great personalities, vibe & truly just awesome service
