INK Entertainment Group and Harlo Entertainment are proud to announce their new collaboration, Ultra, a luxurious and elevated supper club experience, opening in Midtown on June 6th. Ultra marks an exciting new venture and partnership between Charles Khabouth and Danny Soberano of INK, and Michael Kimel and Brandon Marek of Harlo Entertainment, as they introduce the first concept of its kind to Toronto’s Midtown.
Nestled between Toronto’s prestigious neighbourhoods of Rosedale, Summerhill and Forest Hill, at 12 St. Clair Ave E, Ultra invites guests to indulge in a feast for the senses, from exceptional Pan-Asian cuisine and exquisite cocktails to elevated entertainment and jaw-dropping decor curated by internationally acclaimed design collective, Studio Munge.
“From the moment guests step into Ultra, they will be immersed into an elegant and seductive world, inspired by the creative and unique mind of Alexander McQueen,” said Charles Khabouth, CEO and Founder of INK Entertainment Group. “Whether guests choose to stop by for a cocktail in our Onyx Bar, or spend an evening with us for a decadent meal followed by dancing and entertainment in our opulent golden parlour, Ultra will offer an experience unlike any other in the city.”
Ultra is centered around an innovative Pan-Asian menu, developed by Executive Chef Kihyun Kim (previously Akira Back Toronto, Millennium Hilton Seoul and Yellowtail at The Bellagio), incorporating international flavours, fusing beloved Asian dishes and ingredients with an Occident twist. Ultra’s menu embraces the joy of sharing and premium ingredients, with menu features including cold and hot shares, such as Giant Ezo Hokkaido Scallop and Seared Japanese Yellowtail; rice and noodles, including Black Garlic Somen and Bay Scallop Chili Udon; fresh sushi and sashimi; and robata grill mains, like Hangar Steak, Picanha, Miso Black Cod and Charred Lamb Chop.
Complementing the culinary experience is an innovative cocktail menu from Ultra’s Mixologist, Vitus Wight (previously Gladstone House, George and Playa Cabana), drawing inspiration from the many different cultures and flavours of East Asia, infusing select herbs, traditions and techniques for innovative cocktails to suit a modern palette. Standouts include Ultra’s signature Onyx Martini, utilizing cold infusion to draw the aromatic flavours from Pandan leaf, combined with Grey Goose Vodka and a Tok Junmai Sanzen Omachi Sake to showcase the umami flavours of Japan; and the Kuro Mame, a bold take on Vietnamese Coffee, with Woodford Reserve, Tia Maria, Cold Brew, Condensed Milk and Black Sesame.
An extensive wine list rounds out Ultra’s beverage program, with a diverse selection of both classic and more innovative varietals, to ensure a perfect pairing with each dish on the menu. In addition, a carefully curated sake collection showcases an exquisite range of traditional and premium sake varieties, sourced from renowned breweries in Japan and beyond, available by the glass and by the bottle, as well as additional bottle service options for those dancing until the early hours of the morning.
Many Torontonians may remember Ultra as a popular supper club concept located on Queen West during the 2000s, and one of the first collaborations between INK and Studio Munge. Now, over 10 years later, the two powerhouses have joined forces once again, alongside Harlo Entertainment, to bring an entirely new Ultra experience to Toronto’s Midtown.
Embodying a provocative and dramatic elegance, Ultra features three beautiful spaces masterfully curated by Studio Munge, inspired by legendary designer Alexander McQueen.
As the evening unfolds, guests are encouraged to sit back and revel in Ultra’s seamless transition from an elevated dining experience to an enthralling late-night atmosphere. With DJs and entertainment until the early hours, Thursday to Saturday, Ultra will ensure an unforgettable evening of delectable cuisine, enchanting ambiance, and thrilling entertainment all under one roof.
Ultra will be open for dinner Monday to Saturday, between 5 pm and 11 pm, starting June 6th, with the Supper Club experience available Thursday through Saturday until 2 am. Advance reservations can now be made via OpenTable.
