Cleverly hiding behind the pretentious remark of "using only locally-sourced ingredients", The Butternut Tree offers nothing... but abysmally substandard dishes. If one had to decompose the price they pay here, it would simply be for the location, heavilycontrived "fancy" atmosphere to boast preposterous luxury on one's social media, and the restaurant's delusional sense of prideand confidence in the services and food provided. First and foremost, the appetizers were stale, bread with a texture of asoggy cardboard box, left to dry for several days. The main dishes were drenched in salt to add flavour. Every inch of the steakwas soaked with salt, I felt as though the dish was marinated under the ocean for months. Their self-imposed limitations on theavailable ingredients are acting as a double-edged sword, simultaneously deteriorating the quality of the dishes and luringcustomers susceptible to such marketing gimmick. Perhaps The Butternut Tree is the manifestation of our concurrentluxury-driven society, where the actual quality of the service for which the customer had paid, is no longer relevant, as longas one's self-gratification is achieved through social media attention. My visit to the Butternut Tree was not onlydisappointing, it was a wake-up call to reflect on our decisions made under irrational self-justification. Not entirely surewhat makes any of the food served here "Canadian". Let us not deceive ourselves with some false sense of patriotism; it is justas embarrassing as calling poutine an original "Canadian food". Yes, french fries with gravy and cheese on top. 1/5.

Proudly exceptional. The Butternut Tree is an incredible display of elevated Canadian cuisine. We decided to order everything... all at once and share. We left it up to the server and kitchen to send the dishes out as they saw fit which pleased them andbenefited us immensely. The service was above and beyond. Our server, Adam, was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, comforting, andoverall made the experience more than exceptional. He was patient, genuine and far from pretentious. To start we had oystersand caviar which was a perfect appetizer. The oysters were balanced with salt from the ocean and a white wine sauce, that was onthe side, bringing the beautiful flavours together. There was a selection of three different caviar types. They ranged fromcreamy to salty and each worked perfectly with the shredded egg white and yolk. Then came the bison tartare which was toppedwith a raw egg yolk, cured egg yolk, greens, and cabbage that couldn’t have been more balanced with the meat andcrackers. Our main to share was the beef duo and both were, of course, cooked perfectly. The shaved and fried garlic was a newexperience and one we’ll be craving for a while. To end the night we had the cheese board which had two gorgeous Canadiancheeses, one soft and one semi soft / hard. Both were incredible in their own way and went wonderfully with everything on theplate. Along with the cheese we decided to get the ice wine fleet which was incredible and impressive. Adam explained theprocess of ice wine and was excited to be able to teach us about the specific glasses. In conclusion we could never possiblyrecommend this place more. It makes one proud to be a Canadian and experience such an elevated menu right from our own backyard. Read more
The best place for a fine dining. I had a wonderful experience and got a extraordinary service. Love the oysters and beefs!
High tea honestly pretty mediocre. Focus seems to be more on things that SOUND fancy and local, but without enough concern about... if flavors work together or are good. Everything was either sweet or greasy, with not enough savory/salty flavors. The sconeswere basically like pie crust, too fatty, and then the clotted/whipped cream on the side turned out to actually just be butter.Like, those scones don't need more fat. Read more

My partner and I had absolutely great experience at Butternut tree from the start to finish. Phenomenal dining experience from... service to the food. The tasting menu is seasonal and changes based upon the availability of local produce/protein. Definitelywill be coming back to enjoy another tasting menu. Also on a side note, you can order regular tasting menu and vegetable tastingmenu together (not one over the other). I also appreciated the attention to detail on the presentation of the food. They alsouse local ceramic dinnerware, which looked amazing. Read more
