“I frequent the Don Mills location as it is more intimate that other restaurants in the area. The drinks unique, pizzas fantastic and the brussel sprouts appetizers the BEST! This visit the staff were exceptionally generous, attentive and fun to chat with. I would always recommend the ambiance, decor and food to anyone! Keep up the great work team!“
“Most beautiful view of toronto on the water you will get… book your reservation for an hour before the sunset of that day to get the full experience.Food is of course what you may expect with their rating … for the second best in Italy, I would have to disagree and am biased as I got to experience farm to table in the northern mountains in Abruzzo, Italy… not even comparable… sorry guys!! But they did offer a pasta that is dried from the sea breeze with the natural salt from the water / wind making a profound difference in the texture and flavour. Definitely worth the experience overall and the a la carte menu has great options for a great price.Great wine and caviar menus.Jeff the manager is the best!!!!Make sure you get a photo in the washroom with the window of the city as your backdrop ?“
“Lovely brunch place! Went there for a team brunch and we had a 3 course brunch. Every single dish was so good, I would definitely go back here.Started with their signature sourdough bread with honey and butter, as a perfect app. For the main, I had grilled tofu with eggs and potatoes and for non vegetarians, there were chicken waffles. Even the simple scrambled egg was made to perfection. To end the meal, we had finger licking french toast with a bowl of fresh fruits!Super friendly staff and ambience is great with lots of natural light, making it perfect for brunch.“
“One standout dish is the butter chicken, a creamy and indulgent delight that perfectly encapsulates the essence of North Indian cuisine. Paired with fluffy naan bread or aromatic basmati rice, it’s a culinary journey worth savoring. Vegetarians will also find plenty to love, with options like paneer tikka and vegetable biryani showcasing the bounty of India’s vibrant vegetarian cuisine.Vivek's service is good.“
“This is the sweetest brunch hot spot with all of the fantastic fixings. They have a creative cocktail menu of drinkable magic and their Benny’s are a thing of pure bliss. We could not leave without ordering the ‘No Regrets’ Red Velvet pancakes and we are so happy we did, they were perfection. We are already are looking forward to our next delicious date here.“
“Brittany and Skye took excellent care of us. The cocktails were varied and delicious and the food was well prepared and presented beautifully. We had a ribeye, the lamb, and the cauliflower “steak”. Everyone was pleased. Highly recommended.“
“Incredible experience! I had the best solo date with myself at Casa Madera! Aside from the amazing vibes, live music, and dancing, Kelly, the waitress for my table, was the highlight of my brunch. She customized her recommendations to my dietary needs and made sure I had a great experience and view of the decor. She was friendly and fun to speak with. She helped me take beautiful videos and photos of my meal and made me feel comfortable and welcome as a customer. I highly recommend Casa Madera for your future dates or events and if you're ever so lucky to bump into Kelly, I promise you you'll be in for a wonderful experience“
“Visited this place for our wedding anniversary dinner. Food and ambiance was great and staff is very friendly I would like to mention that Palchhin( hope i spelled correct) did recommended cocktail and food which suits to our palate. They have live dj playing at background with Bollywood peppy number's.Overall it was great experience give a try if looking for good contemporary Indian food with playful ambience.“
“The food was so so tasty! The burrata + focaccia and the tiramisu pancakes were better than I was even expected for. The gnocchi was really tasty too. The lasagna needed a dash of salt but it was otherwise really tasty. And Marian (Maryan?) our waiter was a delight.“
“I love this place. The staff were very warm and welcoming. They brought out appetizers immediately upon sitting and helped us with our order. The meat cut selection was rather diverse compared to other bbq places and the food was very good.“
“Bar Raval is a vibrant restaurant bar on College Street designed by the architectural firm Partisans. The design is a modern interpretation of Spanish Art Nouveau, while paying homage to the pintxo, the traditional tapas bars from northern Spain. Carefully cut from sculpted mahogany wood, the space was inspired by Gaudi’s biomimicry. The sinuous forms within Raval encourage mingling, keeping in the same spirit as Spain’s jovial pintxos. The nearly all day Raval is open from 11am until 1am, but my favorite time to visit is before sunset to witness the transition from a naturally lit art piece to a more dramatic look after dark.Bar Raval’s tapas game is strong, with delectable sharing plates like manchego, Catalan sobrassada, and marinated octopus. For drinks, bartender Elise Hanson has got you covered. The talented Elise, who recently won Bombay’s Most Imaginative Bartender, made me Raval’s iconic Bishop’s Garibaldi with Campari, fluffy orange juice, cinnamon, guajillo and pasilla pepper and nutmeg as well as her favorite (and mine too): White port and house tonic, perhaps the perfect low ABV concoction.“
“I’ve been following Sugo on Instagram for a while and the images are always just so lush. Plates of mountain Spaghetti, succulent Burrata oozing over pesto pasta, tubes of saucy Rigatoni, crispy Calamari, buttery pillows of soft in the centre, crunchy on the outside garlic bread. I’m talking the kind of food you dream of. Yesterday, we went after months of imagining what the actual experience might be like and it did not disappoint. The food tasted even better than the photos suggested it was! The sandwiches are insane. Everything was luscious, flavourful and gorgeous. And our waitress, Jamie was a delight! Well worth the drive from Richmond Hill. Great food, generous portions, lovely eating experience. Foodie approved!“
“We love coming here every time. The pomegranate hummus is the best hummus in the city hands down. Amazing service. I kept finishing my glass of water and not once did I have to ask for more water, they would just come and fill it up themselves. Even the prices for what you get is completely worth it. Keep it up Amal. We'll be back.“
“I enjoyed a lovely Sunday night dinner with my husband and baby. Food, service and atmosphere were great! Def would love more places like in the Neigbourhood. We shared several dishes, the French salad, feta pie, jackfruit Currie, a snapper dish and the chocolate mouse. All delicious and would order it all again, except we want to explore the rest of the menu too.“
“A comida estava deliciosa! This restaurant was spectacular. Amazing food and great service.Pão de queijo was fresh and homemade and it paired really well with their mandioca frita which is their cassava fries. If you have never had cassava fries, I would closely relate them to home fries from your typical morning breakfast place but fried haha!Their linguiça com cebola (translates to sausage with onions, shoutout to duolingo for helping me with my Portuguese) and this was great! So simple yet so flavourful! Up next was their baião de dois which was a rice dish that had beans, bacon, dry meat, sausage, sweet chili pepper and cheese. Another amazing dish that I would definitely get again.BUT NOWWW for the star of the night was my picanha gralhada. Grilled steak was COOKED TO PERFECTION with a little bit of fat. So juicy and mouthwatering and can we talk about how they gave me 2 huge pieces!! I was advised to dip my steak into the farofa (toasted cassava) and I loved it even more believe it or not. I also had to get a side of mandioca frita!Desserts at this place…..SPECTACULAR! Passion fruit mousse was a hit but their Brazilian pudim was just amazing, I actually wanted to lick the plate but couldn’t because I know I would get judged. I would definitely recommend that if you ever come to this restaurant, please save room for dessert because you will not be disappointed!!This amazing restaurant also has a cute Brazilian shop next to it where I got some cool snacks.Overall if I had a list of restaurants to check out that is affordable and delicious, I would definitely have this place in my top 10!! Also I usually dislike pop drinks but toss me a Guaraná and I would leave no trace of that drink.“
“I would recommend this modern Indian spot to all my friends. The service was just excellent!! The three-course meal and smoked drinks were worth the price. Our plates were completely empty by the end. Their must try items are the avacado chaat dip and chips, dal makhni bowl and spiced raw mango cocktail.“
“It is one of the best ? restaurants that we have been in Toronto. It was not too expensive. Food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional. We always have something to say about restaurants, but this one closes our mouths. Thanks, guys, for the attention. ? recommended!“
“Lucy Whatyaget and Ella Mayo on Sundays! The best show, you gotta see it! Something for everyone - fun for groups or on your own - I come even when I have no one to join me - amazing music, great dancing, chill atmosphere - you gotta come - see you all there“
“1st update: 4->5 stars• Three Dynasties: love this one the most, creamy yet earthy and very interesting flavor.• Crimson Skies: very slight hint of spice, bold flavor but not too strong, it's a very good one.• Barrel Aged Corn ‘N’ Oil: good for someone want some thing strong and bold, not too much layers of flavor.• Fried Chicken: warning it'll burn your tongue. Extremely crispy, very good dipping sauce.One of my favorite bars. Lovely and cozy vibe, live music and great menu selection.FOOD: it takes pretty long time to be served as there's only one cook in the kitchen.• Beef tartar: the best tartar I've ever tried. Good portion and really tastyDRINK: I gotta remove 1 star for this, I paid extra to customize my drink to be something "complex flavors". What I got was a super basic cocktail with 3 alcohol mixed together and I can barely taste the third flavor in the drink. Super disappointed.VIBE: beautiful decor, cozy couch and vibe. There's live music and the music was just about right, chill and not too loud. Perfect place to chill out with friends.SERVICE: friendly but a little slow.“
“Well done to the Pompette team. When I visit Toronto, Pompette will be a place I will definitely go. Warm welcome, professional service and dishes executed with professionalism. A sommelier to guide you in the right choice of wine and meal pairing.“
“Milkshake was an absolutely PHENOMENAL server!! He/she/they made such a strong impression right from the start – highly personable, and thoroughly entertaining. He seamlessly held conversations with our party of 14, while taking our orders, and served *all* of our food and drink items in a timely manner. Not only that, but the services and experience provided was truly spectacular. Milkshake was meticulous with adding extra touches to our experience that made my friend's birthday one we'll never forget. Thank you I rarely leave Google reviews, and I'm a frugal person, but the service was just above and beyond, I need to make sure everyone knows that this is the place to BE downtown!! Well worth every dollar. “
“Great ambience, friendly staff and tasty food. Really love the beef tataki , beef tartare and salmon tartare. Ingredients are very fresh. Love the mentaiko Caesar salad; tasty and fresh. Will definitely try other selections on the menu next time.“
“Excellent dining experience at George with their 5 course tasting menu. Staff were very attentive (we had booked a private room) and restaurant had a mature and cool atmosphere.Highlights were the beef tartare and sirloin. The tartare had a very unique blend of flavours and textures that really elevated the dish; unlike any tartare I’ve had before. The beef tenderloin was the shining star however. The potato pave had such a nice sweetness to it to accompany perfectly cooked beef.“
“We had an AWESOME experience (provided by Kenny). Just a day out and our first stop before errands. Kenny made every effort to help everyone have a great meal. We will be referring all our friends to this location based on today's enjoyable experience.“
“Lots of hype around this place and it’s certainly warranted. Usually quite a long wait time to get in so we had to go a little earlier on a Friday. The set up inside is unique as there is only stool seating along two U shaped tables and along the windows. Wasn’t sure how I would feel about that, but it works fine if you’re a couple.Food was superb - some of the best tacos you can get in the city. The Quesabirria Con Consome seems to be what they are best known for, and it’s an absolute must. We also got the shrimp aguachile + leguna and pollo tacos. To be honest its more filling than you’d think so we had to take some home. No complaints with anything however, great little spot and we will definitely be coming back to check it out in the summer!“
“Love love love this place!Staff are always kind and welcoming. Great beer selection.Delicious pub food - my go-tos are the burger, wings, pretzel with beer cheese and the Mac and cheese (I'd recommend sharing this one as it is quite rich)The restaurant has a cozy vibe despite being a larger space and in the summertime their patio is pup friendly.“
“Everyone that works there is an absolute gem, and it’s always such a delight to walk into such a fun and welcoming environment! Also the food there is great! I’ve had almost everything on the menu and haven’t found one thing that I didn’t like! I would highly recommend Bar Poet, for a great date spot, place to hang out with your friends, or somewhere warm and inviting to come for a solo drink, or bit to eat!“
“Lovely cafe, it's the perfect environment to meet up with friends or just have a break for reading. Laptops not allowed after 5pm is much appreciated. Food is good, prices are a bit high and some staff struggled with English so ordering was a bit challenging.“
“The service at this place is exceptional! Mike took care of us. Such a nice guy. He went out of his way to give us the best customer service. I had the tacos which had beef that was slow cooked for 17 hours if I'm not mistaken and it was DELICIOUS!They also have a nice patio I'd be keen to come back to in the summer.Highly recommend!“
“We highly recommended! we so impressed by the over the top Mixologists, Riley and Joe welcoming us with their great entertainment with the amazing cocktails, personality, enthusiasm, food service and atmosphere.Thank you so much to Riley, Joe, Chris and Keelin. for this 2 night in your bar. In November 25, 2023. it was an an absolute pleasure to be there from the beginning until the end. for the highest level of hospitality andprofessionalism that your team provided us, to me and my wife. Keeling (Host)was very polite; she was always with a kind smile. And she also provided us with a seat at the Library Bar. We will definetly coming back for them in our next journey at the Fairmont!“
“Came here for my girlfriend's birthday, it was fantastic! Our server was very welcoming, kind and accommodating through the night. Loved that she intro'd each dish as she brought it out. I love a restaurant with unique menu items, the creativity and passion of the chef did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. Ricotta dumplings and lobster Bao were the standouts, fun combination of ingredients. Mousse and matcha ice cream was a great finisher, not too sweet! I appreciate the non-tipping policy but it was one of those dinners where I felt a tip was needed as applause.“
“Becky and Ryan have been superstars during this devestating pandemic. In addition to restructuring their business to remain somewhat open but safe for themselves and their patrons, they’ve been a voice above the racial hate and injustice the world has been forced to finally confront. When things got too bad, both Becky and Ryan have been around to help ease the anxiety and despair to not only those in Toronto, but all the way down in the southwest USA (virtually of course). Even if they themselves are going through the same if not worse hell that we’re in. I hope to see my good friends again to talk and laugh over a well crafted drink, and not through the lens of a webcam.“
“I always walk past this spot looking at the posted menus and never stepped in to try. Until now and which happens to be Fathers Day and I must say was not disappointing. Alcoholic drinks did not chinks on the servings.Food presentations was awesome, price per servings matched and the taste was empicable. Must say it definitely deserved 2 thumbs up. Would recommend it do anyone“
“Wow! One of the best experiences I’ve had in Toronto in awhile. Taline is a beautiful two storey restaurant, service was friendly, helpful and an incredible menu. My partner and I were recommended a lovely Armenian wine with the chefs menu and were so impressed course over course. Come hungry, the portions are sizeable and you won’t want to miss a bite. We loved that they didn’t rush us and it felt like we were on vacation for 3 hours. Thank you so much for a spectacular date night!“
“Just had a wonderful dinner with my family! Great atmosphere and delicious food. Staff were friendly. The portions were amazing and we all left full! Burger, wings, tandoori fried chicken and chicken schnitzel plus their onion rings... Omg!!! We couldn't get enough! Thank you for a great time. Looking forward to coming back!“
“Simply one of my favourite restaurants to go to for delicious food, the loveliest service and just a beautiful space to marvel at.We did the chef’s tasting menu for $80pp and the value of this meal is insane, many waistbands were stretched to their limits lolThank you team Florette, our group of 8 girls were so well taken care of!“
“Excellent experience! Our server was so kind, helpful, and attentive. The drinks were absolutely perfect and our food was all delicious. Music was good and not so loud that we couldn’t have a conversation. They didn’t rush us out which was so nice. Would absolutely go back!“
“Found this place on TikTok, thought it looked pretty and the food seemed delicious so we decided to check it out. The food was great, however, as a vegetarian, options were limited. The best dish I tried was the tartufo dessert, which was heavenly! The atmosphere was also beautiful. My favourite thing about this place is the exceptional service we received. 10/10 for all the staff who made us feel taken care of all night ? Best service in any restaurant I’ve been to in Toronto!“
“Celebrated my bday here today and honestly, hands down the best service, food and atmosphere!!!! Everyone made our group feel so welcome and taken care of. A must try if you’re in the city. Literally everything on the menu was exceptional! Thank you for making my bday celebration extra special. Can’t wait to be back.“
“An absolute oasis in Riverside. Our impromptu visit to Aura turned into a memorable experience thanks to their incredible hospitality and ambiance. Despite our last-minute large group, the owner Andy warmly welcomed us and ensured we had a fantastic time. Our waitress was not only patient but incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. The hidden (and heated!) back patio was a delightful surprise, transporting us to a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle. And the beverages included amazing custom mocktails that left us in awe. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable night out!“
“Hy’s Vancouver is always dependable. Our waiter was a very pleasant, well-spoken, and well-trained fellow named Christophe. He prepared us a round of Caesar salads table side and his wine service was impeccable. My NY strip was perfect and my son enjoyed his dry-aged steak very much (gotta try it at least once). This type of experience is the norm at Hy’s Vancouver, not the exception.“
“I keep coming back to this place. They never fail to impress me, my friends and family. My experience of food is based on how it looks, how it smells and how it tastes. Secondly I look forward to a warm hospitality from the server, and lastly, it’s ambiance and location. I say, they exceeded my expectation on all level. It’s just perfect for me.“
“Came here with the girls on a Sunday during happy hour. Didn't think we were going to stay a whole three hours and we pretty much got everything on the menu. Our waitress was fantastic, as well as everyone who stopped by the table. Everybody was very knowledgeable. The food was evenly timed out because we did order everything. They made sure that we didn't have a lot of food on the table to get cold beverages were fantastic. Vibe was Vibin. I know they said this was Hawaiian inspired not a lot of dishes gave me that feeling however, Asia has a big influence on these dishes. Regardless, definitely should be on your list to try. Must try dishes or the pork belly because that dipping sauce is amazing. Currently trying to replicate it at home. I also recommend the kimchi dip and the mushroom skewers were fantastic!! Book a reservation! Get there to try it out.“
“I might be biased because I used to work for the company. With that said, it's a very detailed room that's reminiscent of an old street car. I've only enjoyed cocktails ? there, so I can't say much about the food. But it's the same style as 416 snack bar, so it should be awesome ?.“
“Pizza wine disco is the place to be! I went with a friend for a night out and we had the best night. The food is nothing short of exceptional—with appetizers crafted to perfection—highly recommend the steak tartare. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every need is met promptly. As the night progresses, the ambiance transforms into a lively discotheque, where great music and high energy have people dancing into the early hours. My friend and I were impressed by the seamless blend of delicious food, impeccable service, and atmosphere, making our experience at Pizza Wine Disco truly unforgettable.“
“My friend and I had a delicious Filipino breakfast of House Pork Sausage with fried eggs and garlic rice at this tiny eatery near Bathurst and College. Also shared some scrumptious fried chicken. Everything that we ordered from the small menu was very good. Service was very attentive, courteous and friendly. Because this restaurant is quite small in size and limited in seating, we suggest that you go early to avoid the need to wait for a seat. That said, BBs is well worth a trip. Highly recommended.“
“We came by the place on a walk and decided to go in as they had a jazz trio playing. We had a fabulous time. The cocktails were great, and though they had limited food options, the food was really good. I also feel they were responsible priced (for this day and age).Most importantly, the band was hot, real cats. Plan to go back to catch.“
“I wanted to say I huge thank you to Greg!! For making it an our first experience at Wildfire so much fun and I would love him to serve our group again. He was compassionate, understanding and patient with all the questions and concerns we had about food and drinks. He lead us to some amazing recommendations! Overall would come back just to be served by him again! Thank you so much again!!“
“We went to Bar Chef for my wife’s birthday. It’s one of her fave places for high end cocktails. The drinks and snacks did not disappoint. At first you walk in and think it’s going to be way too dark. But once your eyes adjust it’s a cool atmosphere. I had the charred Japanese highball and the Italian breeze. Both were good, liked the breeze better. The diplomatic immunity seemed to be the most popular drink at the table. The snacks were very tasty as well. The charcuterie board and Japanese fried chicken were my faves. Great place for a fun night out for a special occasion.“
“Fabulous experience!!We booked a bday party here and the place was PERFECT!! we had about 40 people give or take on a Saturday night coming in and out and the music along with the vibes were fantastic.The service was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a beautiful evening!Highly recommend booking your event here- Gordon, was amazing at setting up and answering any questions we had. Booking was smooth and they worked with us to have the best layout.Food was lovely, drinks were boozy and the night was amazing.Thank you team for making it a perfect night! ??“
