My 3rd time eating at Sugar Kane, the menu has not disappointed me. The food is amazing and cooked to perfection. Our waiter on Sat did a fabulous job, the atmosphere and vibe adds to the evening every time. I love the fact that the owners take the time to come to your table and great you. We need another location in the West end. A mature vibe, with great music, service and food makes for a great night out every time. Thank you Sugar Kane!

My favourite Carribean restaurant in the GTA. Reasonable prices. It's elevated carribean food that manages to still taste and feel like back home.
OMG...the food here is amazing, especially the pimento spinach dip, grilled chicken bowl, braised oxtail bowl, and cajun chicken pasta. the sundae and bread pudding are also little bites of heaven but when we got the mango creme brulee it had split (the taste was still fantastic). the portions are also extremely generous and i leave full and with leftovers! the resto is owned by two sisters and they are both so sweet and welcoming with the guests, it keeps me wanting to come back. the service can be slow but it's worth it for the food and atmosphere. it's definitely one of my fave spots to visit w/ family and friends.
Just a quick review about my sour experience at Sugar Kane.I can't give an opinion about the food, but I can do the same re: service (or lack thereof). We had reseverations for 8:15pm but didn't get asked to sit by the bar until 8:45, while our table was being cleaned. They finally sat us in a tiny corner, where all the unseated people gathered (needless to say that the space was very cramped). When I simply pointed out a table that had been empty since 8:00, one of the three owners snarled at me (unacceptable). An hour wasted here with out even out a glass of water to show for it. Absolute dross.

Delicious food and atmosphere! The owners were there and they sang happy birthday for my friend and they have such beautiful voices!Vegetarian options: Vegan doubles
What a gem at the Danforth! This Caribbean style place has it all! It is run by a magnificent sisters trio: Donna, Renee and Nicole, who are always around welcoming everyone with a big smile on their faces. The food is delicious, getting you back to those caribbean places with their legit flavors. Cocktails are also really fresh and caribbean. The honey-sriracha signature chicken wings are simply the best! Love that they usually have live music during the weekends. It amazes me how everyone that comes in here shares the same vibes as the owners, so it would not be a surprise if they play a song everyone likes and all the people at the place (ALL THE PEOPLE) will come together singing and dancing. It's such a unique atmosphere! Loved this place for every single aspect. As all good things, you'll have to wait since everything is freshly made at the moment, but it's worth it. It tends to be busy during the weekends so it's better to make a reservation! It also offers outdoor seating.

Make no mistake, the food is damn good. But for me, good SERVICE trumps good food everytime!! I arrived at 7, I waited over half an hour for my food to arrive, which honestly was not a problem. Only to be promptly kicked out at 9:15. I think they should take into consideration the time you have to wait on your food. I think they know the food is good, so they figure to hell with etiquette, compassion, and just good ole fashioned KINDNESS. Lemme make mention that we were a group of 16 people. I have never EVER been kicked out of ANYWHERE in my entire life, and I didn’t even do anything. I made this reservation in good faith, wasn’t expecting to be treated like that. If you’re looking to hang and kick back, this is NOT the place for you.

Really wanted to love this place as I heard such good things about it but I probably won’t be going back.Sat down to join friends that had arrived earlier and was immediately pressured to order because our table was needed for a following reservation at 7 pm. I arrived to the table about 5:50pm. The waiter made it seem like I didn’t have time to order anything and eat it if I didn’t order in the next two mins. So I asked how long it would take to prepare a main and he said 20mins so I said cool that’s plenty of time. Regardless I ordered a main, app to go, and a drink. We were also repeatedly asked if we needed anything else in very curt and hustled tone because it had to be in now. Mind you the other guest had long ordered and meals were arriving. We were also pressured to give dessert orders due to time. We were rushed for or dessert order only for the waiter to come back 35mins later and tell us they had no more… of their special monthly dessert at 6:30pm for your dinner service…on a Saturday! Why rush us if you weren’t going to put it in right away. Tbh I think he just wanted us up and lied. My food came I had plenty of time to eat. Salmon with green beans and honey sriracha wings were tasty. Didn’t enjoy the mash potatoes they were cold. At 6:50 he came with bills and rushing us with urgency. I’ve been to many restaurants who are up front with seating limits and have never had any issue. I can respect it. There is a way to provide quick service that is timely and not dismissive. We paid and I asked to sit at the bar to finish our drinks and free up the the table that was so urgently needed. I really wish I had not tipped by the end of the night.We sat down the with drinks and our take away boxes. Mind you I asked to sit here since the table was needed with such urgency. The bartender asked if we moved from a table or just arrived. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn’t see us sitting right across from her before but again the tone was… “great you moved from the table and are taking up my bar seats. I saw you pay your bill and I won’t be making tips off of you.” I answered politely they needed our table and we are sitting here to free it up. She brought us a drink menu and never came back… we had intended to order more but hey.While we were at the bar many side conversations about our transition to the bar were taking place but no one said anything to us directly. It’s about 7:30pm now and our table which were rushed through ordering and service is still empty. Instead of speaking directly to us… a table he just served. Our waiter went to one of the owners to let her know that people wanted to sit at the bar to eat. Again, talk to us don’t have conversations about people in front of people. Our table is still sitting empty. Someone then came over to ask us to get up and say we could go back to the table we were just swiftly vacated from. I said no thanks we will be leaving. The vibe was gone and it was just disrespectful. We didn’t need to move or rush in the first place.We spoke briefly to one of the owners. She looked up the table and there wasn’t a reservation on that table till 8pm so we were rushed, dismissed, and served poorly for no reason. Our waiter lied to us about the following reservation timing. She didn’t understand why we were moved but also seemed quite indifferent and did not offer an apology.I made note to our waiter on the way out how disappointed it was for us to be moved, when our table then sat empty for over 45mins, we ask to sit a the bar and now your asking us to get up from here instead of seating these new customers at the empty table…. He smiled… Said a quick sorry and rushed off. Again dismissive and insincere. We paid our bills so we were dispensable. Not a fan of this type of service environment. It is not welcoming nor does it generate repeat customers. We spent hundreds of dollars on this place for mediocre beverages and terrible service.My friends and I are not coming back…
Sugar Kane Restaurant is an absolute gem! Their jerk chicken is a culinary masterpiece, smoked to perfection and bursting with juicy flavor. And don’t even get me started on their jerk chicken fettuccine alfredo; it’s a symphony of perfectly seasoned goodness. The ambiance? Pure vibe. And let’s not forget their outstanding customer service - attentive, friendly, and truly top-notch. A dining experience at Sugar Kane is not just a meal, it’s a journey of taste sensations, delightful hospitality and pure good vibes. Highly recommend! 10/10
