Top Chef Michael Voltaggio’s sandwich shop seeks to satisfy multiple palates and cravings. The flavors are classic and created with the best available ingredients. The menu is short, sweet, and to the point, but the sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch.

Ink, the new restaurant by 'Top Chef' champion Michael Voltaggio, features cutting-edge cuisine that is exciting and very much the chef's unique vision.

it's inventive, sure. but don't worry, not everything is covered in foam. i loved the pork and the lamp neck dishes.

All male waitstaff. The hype is real. Portions are also small for the tasting menu. We ordered a Poutine addition. I keep wanting more.

The sea bass, the fluke, the crab, the pork tenderloin, the beef tartare... the service. This place is phenomenal.

Simply dressed kale chiffonade with pumpkin and burrata showcases his more restrained side, while the blowtorched dollops of maple foam crowning the chicken with waffle...

The Must-Have Dishes: This menu changes so often, it’s hard to say. We loved the lamb neck dish with chickpea poutine, the kale-burrata salad, and the octopus.

Little known fact: you can enjoy your cocktails out front, as long as you're within the gate. No smoking though.

Extremely impressive from a beloved Top Chef. Order the mind-blowing snap peas blessed with liquid nitrogen for the perfect temperature, Halibut, didn't love the apple dessert - gastronomy overload.

Pork belly entree and apple dessert with burned wood ice cream should not be missed. Also must get the carrots in frozen coconut milk.

Top Chef winner Michael Voltaggio’s arty penchant for molecular gastronomy doesn’t distract from triumphs such as egg-yolk gnocchi, but it does make Ink as serious as its sexy, all-gray space.

Great service. Delicious food. The egg yolk gnocchi is superb. Octopus is so great. But the standout was the apple dessert with creme caramel and wood burnt ice cream (somehow it tastes like bacon)
