I was hopeful for an improved experience upon my return visit, but unfortunately, the quality of the food has significantly declined. Despite its popularity and the buzz it receives, my recent dining experience fell short of expectations, with the offerings failing to impress on both occasions. Additionally, I was surprised to find that reservations are limited to 90 minutes, diverging from the more standard two-hour seating. This place has a lot of potential, but improvements are needed to live up to the hype. Head south to Goods and Provisions or Comrad instead.

We went as a group of 4, and ordered everything on the menu. I really appreciate their use of different textures. There’s a lot of depth in their flavor pairing as well. Overall the dishes can be a bit too sweet for my liking. The sweetness is subtle at first, i only started realizing that later on as more dishes are served and i found myself thinking oh this is getting a bit heavy. Still really enjoyed my experience at lake Inez! It’s quickly becoming one of mg favourite spots in the city.

I love this place! As soon as you find the front door, everything is awesome! The food was delicious - these chefs know what they’re doing. The food was unique and very flavourful. Interesting wine/drink list.The front door, BTW, is on the left side of the unassuming window with the piano in it (almost directly across the red door of Glen Rhodes United Church).

A solid neighborhood restaurant serving up chef-inspired dishes. Their wine list is interesting and their staff clearly love working there. A quaint spot. Great for date night.

So innovative. On my list for one of the best, top 5 restaurant in Toronto ?
Good food and the size of the portion was enough to share for two, quick service, a nice atmosphere, 20 min drive from downtown.

I have been to Lake Inez several times, and am constantly in awe of the ever changing menu. The unique flavour combinations and the chef's willingness to take risks are both so well executed. Limits are pushed and beautifully swung back to tradition by bringing in nostalgic flavours and textures. The decor and atmosphere of Lake Inez is beautifully whimsical and quirky, like the cottage of your coolest friend.Something needs to be said of their ability to accommodate vegans in a pleasantly plant forward way. Rather than opting for faux meats, dishes are offered with vegetable swaps for meats. The veg options are cooked insanely well, and you can tell the chef is equally as interested in vegetables and respects them as a main.We will be returning again and again!

Best night out in Toronto. Cass our bartender was awesome and knowledgeable. She also connected with us on a personal level and treated us like her guests. She anticipated our next dishes and nerded out with us on wine pairings. Phenomenal experience all around at the bar of lake inez.
