The long-awaited Toronto Life review was finally been published on September 22: http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/from-the-print-edition-daily-dish/2011/09/22/chris-nuttall-smith-acadia/.
We spent weeks preparing for this, and after coming back twice, Chris sparred no details in his article. All the cooks at the restaurant were nervous, both if the reviews were good and bad. If bad, we'd all be losing our marbles. If good, we'd all know the restaurant would be an utter shit-show for the next season. Everything was riding on this review.
The verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5. Not bad.
We got a tweet from Chris the night before. He wished us luck, and told us that no restaurant in the history of Toronto Life has ever gotten more than 3 stars upon opening. The only other restaurant that had 3 stars: Colborne Lane. THAT is what makes it all worthwhile.
