We came to Trofí the night before Valentine’s Day and had a really great experience overall.

The ambiance is beautiful — very modern and upscale, but still comfortable and welcoming. It was quite busy, but the service never felt rushed. Our server was excellent — friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. They gave great recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of the entire night.

The only minor downside was our seating. We were placed right beside the kitchen door. It felt a bit secluded, which was nice in some ways, but the constant traffic of staff going in and out was a little distracting and slightly awkward at times. I’d probably request a different table next time.

The food was fantastic. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but fair for the quality, portions, and overall fine dining experience.

There were six of us and we shared everything. The bill came to around $1,000 including tip, cocktails, and shots, which honestly wasn’t bad when split between everyone. They even offered us a round of complimentary shots to end the night. (Thank you for that!)

My absolute favourite was the lobster pasta — so good and definitely a must-order. The meat sharing platter was also a highlight and perfect for groups. Everyone especially loved the lamb.

Overall, great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I would definitely come back and recommend it — just maybe request a table away from the kitchen door.

I went to Troffi with a girlfriend and loved it so much that I had to come back with my boyfriend, and it did NOT disappoint the second time either!

Both times I ordered the souvlaki brochette with chicken and shrimp and it was absolutely to die for. The chicken literally melted in my mouth, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp were just as incredible. You can truly taste the quality and care in the food.

I’ve never been a big calamari person because it’s usually rubbery or chewy, but I kept hearing theirs was the best, so I gave it a shot. I was so pleasantly surprised! It was tender, light, and not chewy at all. Definitely changed my mind about calamari.

We had Nick as our server both visits and he was amazing. So attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely welcoming. He made great recommendations, checked in at the perfect times without hovering, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Service like that makes such a difference.

The food, the atmosphere, the service, everything was top tier. This is officially my new favourite spot for delicious food and a great vibe. Highly recommend and I will absolutely be back!

A pricey restaurant with a nice homely feel. Service was great, very attentive serving staff. Presentation of food was excellent however taste was just ok, not worth the price.

I stopped in for dinner with my fiancé. We had a bottle of wine and three appetizers, which was enough for the two of us. The ambiance was nice and the presentation of the food was great.
It was a bit pricey but worth it for a special night.
The menu could use more vegetarian options but there is still a good variety.

Second time visiting Trofi – an overall enjoyable experience. Total was $190 (including tax and tip) for 2 people for 2 drinks, 2 mains, 1 app.

FOOD: The grilled halloumi dish ($24) was pretty good, on a pure taste basis. The salad was tasty (and included figs and the pomegranate seeds) but was overdressed. The dish was pretty overpriced tho, when comparing to comparable restaurants (Ayla’s Social Kitchen, Beckta). There weren’t many halloumi slices and they were thin.

The lamb souvlaki and beef souvlaki ($42) were on the pricier side but pretty good. It is a very well-balanced meal (tzatziki, salad, fantastic rice, grilled pita) with great presentation (see photo for reference).

DRINKS: The espresso martini ($18) and lavender fizz ($17) were both fantastic.

SERVICE: Nick was an attentive server and definitely went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Super grateful for him.

AMBIENCE: it’s a pretty restaurant

NOTE: They accept amex

OVERALL: Overall, I think a solid choice for a date night with solid (but not necessarily mind-blowing food).

Amazing food, our waitress was fantastic, great vibe and atmosphere, they have a patio, two of our three dishes were presented lit on fire. It was my second time here and both times were excellent. We had a birthday this second time, unfortunately they don’t have/or do anything special for birthdays. Initially thought the apps were a bit pricey but the portions were huge. Paid parking lot right on one of the nearby corners.
