The new prep on hamburger, supposed to be high end wagyu beef were smashed and dried out patties. The old version much better. You don't need wagyu to do a smash burger

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast. Staff is super friendly.

went for breakfast while staying at the Limelight. It was not busy at all maybe 6 tables full and the waiter took forever to come over to start orders. When we asked to order our food with the drinks the waiter was rude and clearly annoyed that we wanted to put our food order in as well. Made a comment about pouring the coffee before taking our orders which we discussed and after we said no thanks we just want to put the order in as we were on a time crunch and it already took awhile. He never ended up pouring the coffee, brining over creamer or checking in at all until the food came out. Food took 25 mins for scrambled eggs and the driest piece of toast I’ve ever had. Then the kicker is he would not make eye contact or come over to us while we waited for the check. Another waiter took our plates so we asked him to bring the check, he said of course and then never brought it. I had to ask the hostess to bill the room as we needed to be out, and she literally ran over to us as we waited for her to get the check by the door acting like we were running out on the bill. Probably the worst breakfast experience I’ve had here and I’ve stayed before and had the breakfast. Overall unorganized and lazy vibe from the staff this morning. I never write reviews normally but we were blown away by how this mornings experience went.

We enjoyed the former Citizen Rail many times, and glad to see that Ajax Downtown is even better! Dustin and the maitre’d really made us feel welcome, as we celebrated our 37th anniversary. When Dustin heard that the Brut Rose was too dry and a little sour for my wife, he swapped it for prosecco, which was perfect. They split the kale and Brussel sprout Caesar salad onto two plates for us (tangy, creamy dressing) and we had perhaps the best sourdough we’ve ever had: grilled, with burrata and basil. The 16oz ribeye was something I couldn’t do at home, with a rub and basal—truly memorable. Dustin was kind enough to comp us the gelato and sorbet (the pina colada sorbet was creamy and perfect). I think we have a new favorite!

The food and drinks were great and good portions but the restaurant wasn't very busy at all but it seemed like our waitress would disappear for long periods of time

Food was not great, slow service and plates were being dropped non stop by service staff. Seriously like 5 times. Will not be back.

I visited during the lunch hour which only had a limited menu, but that was fine. I chose the Wagyu Bolognese. I was not impressed. It was just okay. I was thrown off by how oily it all was. The pasta was just sitting in a bowl of oil. So much so that I didn’t eat the bottom layer because I was really worried about it upsetting my stomach. Service was also just okay. There was only 2 other tables there when I arrived so it wasn’t busy. Nothing was wrong, but the waitress didn’t talk to me at all either. She just set my stuff down, took my order and then came back for my check. She did her job and that was it. So 3 stars for okay. I should have sat at the bar, that room is much brighter, had more visitors and felt more welcoming. If I ever make it back, I’ll sit in the room with the bar. Overall, I wasn’t disappointed nor was I impressed.

We had breakfast here on 2 days because we were staying at Limelight. On 7/17, the chef preparing the dishes was Jared Becker. I had the boursin omelet, which was THE BEST omelet I've ever had in my whole life. The dish was wonderfully put together. The Chef is a magician 😊 And this is coming from a person who eats eggs 3 times a week. We were so excited and came back the next day. However, there were different chefs making the dishes. Both my duck hash and my wife's avocado toast were underwhelming 😔. The hash normally comes with a green sauce which I only got a small splash of. Now I'm looking at other pictures of duck hash on this page and wondering about what I missed out on. The service was perfect - everyone from the hostess to the waiting staff were all amazing.
We had coffee, frittata, and dutch pancake for breakfast, all were delicious. Special thank you to Executive Chef Jared.

Great food but overpriced. Entrees do not come with a side. We had a brussel sprouts Caesar salad. I had the pork chop which was seasoned really well. My wife had the halibut which was good but overpowered with onion flavor. Shared a side order of truffle fries which tasted great. We enjoyed a table on the sidewalk. Total bill for the 2 of us was $230.
