This place is special. We tried it in summer 2023, and it blew our minds. We've been back multiple times since then. We celebrated a special birthday here, and it was so good I took my mom here for her 60th. In her words, it was "the best culinary experience of her life". Frank's ever-changing vision of his menu is not only inspiring to home cooks like myself, but jaw dropping with what he offers - and no two visits have the same menu. The staff are lovely, unpretentious and ensure you feel at home when dining with them. And don't get me started on their wine list. I'd give them 10/5 if I could. We will be back many, many, many more times. Thanks Frank and team.

FK Restaurant on St. Clair Ave. West sets a new standard for dining in Toronto. The quality of food served here is simply exceptional, elevating the culinary experience to new heights. Each dish is expertly crafted with precision and care, showcasing the finest ingredients and flavors. The atmosphere exudes warmth and sophistication, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion. What truly sets FK apart, however, is the remarkable staff who go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and pampered. If you're looking for a dining experience that surpasses all expectations, look no further than FK Restaurant.

This was our first visit but it won’t be our last. The food was perfectly cooked, seasoned and beautifully presented. (After apps our group had the steak, sablefish, lamb and cornish hen). Service was exceptional. The 6 of us in our group thoroughly enjoyed our dinners.

It takes a lot for a restaurant to make my list of top five and so it speaks volumes that FK ranks amongst my all time favorite restaurants, not just in the city, but of all time.I think if I had to capture the essence of what makes this restaurant feel so special and memorable it's because it truly feels like they've achieved the perfect balance in every aspect of the dining experience: it's fine dining and impeccable presentation, but it's not stuffy or pretentious. The staff are warm, relaxed and friendly, while still providing world class customer service. The food is flavorful, bold and innovative, while still offering flavors and taste profiles that are familiar, comforting, and nostalgic.I feel like they genuinely care about your experience and about exhibiting incredible hospitality and showcase this through every detail - be it the house made crusty bread and red pepper spread that you're welcomed with, the complimentary hand crafted chocolates you're presented with at the end of the meal, or the time and attention taken to walk you through the menu and curate your dining experience, it's truly something so special.While on the topic of their menu, FK offers an ever changing selection of contemporary European cuisine with inspiration from modern Canadiana.They put a huge emphasis on made in-house and sourcing seasonal ingredients that are local to the area.OUR ORDER• SABLEFISH — Miso butter, sautéed spinach, braised fennel• 10 oz DRY AGED PRIME STRIPLOIN — Mixed mushrooms, shallot jus• NOVA SCOTIA SCALLOP — Freshly shucked scallops, citrus rhubarb mignonette• OXTAIL TORTELLINI — Chanterelle fricassee• GEM LETTUCE — Crispy bacon, sourgough crouton, parmesan anchovy vinaigrette• SHRIMP & LOBSTER CEVICHE — Pico de gallo, pasilla purée• ROSEMARY FRITES• HOUSEMADE FOCACCIA — with red pepper spreadEvery single dish was masterfully executed, inventive, and visually stunning! The plates were incredibly refined and had a flavor profile that was elevated and so well balanced.I can recommend this restaurant enough for a romantic night out as a couple, or a special meal with friends or family.

Great food and service, but the space is incredibly loud. Some noise dampening measures would go a long way.

We were very excited to try FK, having been huge fans of the old Frank’s Kitchen. Unfortunately, we left disappointed.Service and drinks were great. We ordered the lobster ceviche and burrata. Both were very mediocre in flavors and texture. As for mains, I loved my sablefish but my partner found the oxtail tortellini underwhelming. The cauliflower cacio e pepe as a side was mediocre. Dessert chocolate ganache was good. Overall, nothing about the food was mind blowing. Also, the mains took a very long time.The main issue though was that it seemed the night before a vent or fan in the kitchen had broken down and while they expected it to be repaired by dinner the next day, it was not. This resulted in a very, very smokey environment at times and we ultimately had to move tables, though that was only marginally better. The door was open and shut to let the smoke out but it was a very cold night so it wasn’t comfortable.The smoke issue was probably a one off but I think they should have canceled the dinner service for the evening. They didn’t charge us for dessert but that was a very small concession in my view. I would have expected a better comp.
Overall amazing, highly recommended the short rib and oxtail. Quantity is good as well, one main and one appetizer is enough for 1 person if you are hungry.

There is a meticulous artistry to FK's offering, both in taste and presentation.The onion soup was a visual delight, nestled in a whimsical bird's nest. The oxtail tortellini and sablefish both had flavourful hits with each bite. The kobe short rib might be one of the best melt-in-your-mouth meat dishes in the city. The goat's milk cheesecake was elevated without losing the simple indulgence of a cheesecake. And the passion fruit parfait was all delicate dollops and dome.But the thing that impresses me most about this place is that all this Michelin worthy dishes are served with a charming warmth that you don't always find at fancy places. It's like you've been invited to the home of one of the city's best chefs, and are enjoying a casual dinner with friends. And it's what makes FK a place to go back to again and again.

Curbside, curbside, read all about it! It is January, and icy cold outside. What better way to spend an evening than ordering some impeccable meals from FK to enjoy in your own home. Michelin Star guide recommended restaurant offering exquisite mouth watering meals for pick up during the month of January. I ordered everything and we enjoyed them all weekend long with some of their fabulous wine! - 22 outside - no problem. Let FK make your dinners for you. Can’t wait for my next batch.
