“Our table had an amazing experience tonight, and a big part of that was our incredible server, Karina. She was warm, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

Our group of friends gets together once a month, and this time we decided to try somewhere different from our usual neighborhood spot. We're so glad we did! The food was great, but Karina's outstanding service truly made the evening special.

By the time we left, everyone at the table was talking about how wonderful she was. She made us feel welcome, took great care of us, and helped make our night one to remember. We will definitely be back and hope to see Karina again. Thank you for such a fantastic dining experience!
❤CLUB - A happy group of 7-20 usually !“

“We had the pleasure of being served by Alishia and she was amazing and provided the kind of service that I haven't seen in a very long time and gives the kind of service that would be coming back and sitting in her Section specifically just so she could serve me again. You definitely hired an asset to your company when you hired her.“

“Great Ambience, Awesome Food, Great staff!“

“Best spot to order from during UFC nights. The food always comes fresh, hot, and on time even when it’s super busy. Pizza is amazing, portions are solid, and it’s perfect for fight nights with friends. Definitely my go to place for any UFC event.

Thank you Watan !“

The food comes fairly quickly once you order, and the quality is good for price. Beautiful outdoor shabby-chic patio with a reasonable wait times in the summer.“

“You can never go wrong with a quarter chicken dinner or chicken pot pie. Staff is friendly. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow when the restaurant is busy. You can get points if you have a scene card. It helps that there is a free parking lot in the Plaza. Great location too.“

“I ordered the wedding soup take out. $7.99 but the paper cup they give you is minuscule. Should be at least double the size for the price they charge. What a rip off. Too bad because I like there food overall“

“I was attending Toronto Pride this past weekend and found this beautiful hidden gem and the staff were so friendly knowing that I was alone. fantastic food and fun drinks“

“Very friendly service, great open environment and seating, good alone or in groups. TV screen with Sports etc and a bunch of new TV Screens are ready to be installed. Delicious treats and baklava is available as well, and nice authentic cultural decorations in the interior. Fair prices and great value for money. Delicious!“

“Ruby Soho is a cute spot on King St W for dinner and drinks! The Miami vice is the perfect summer drink and the volume provided was perfect - we could sip on it during our entire meal. We really enjoyed the baked spinach dip as well. When we ran out of the initial toast they had provided, the servers brought over a bucket of tortilla chips which was perfect. Did -1 on atmosphere because we were seated next to guys that were physically fighting each other. Otherwise, service was amazing.“

“A very good lunch/brunch place here in the market. A nice spread of comfort foods and you can make your own plates and combos. Highly recommend getting their salads with some sides and latkes for a whole meal experience. The old couple that run this place are very nice 🙂“

“The owner/chef used to be the head chef at a fine Italian restaurant so all the dishes are good and some are exceptional - like most of the soups from the soup of the day and the breakfast dishes.“

“Amazing Food!“

“Went for my birthday with friends and had an amazing experience! The place is beautiful, and our server Maeva was amazing! She was super attentive and made sure the dinner was pleasant and I felt super celebrated. The food was great, and the environment is beautiful! Only issue was that it was really hot, we sat at the main dining area and I think the ac was down. Def recommend this place, especially for the attentive service!“

“Amazing food, amazing service👌
I went here with my family, and the food made my whole family full after a long day. Very happy with service, i definitely recommend coming here with your loved one👍❤“

“Our group had a great time this past weekend at the Medieval festival! The show and tournament were entertaining and the atmosphere of the castle and arena were quite nice. The pricing of the souvenirs at the gift shops were reasonably priced, in my opinion. The food was not bad but could’ve been better. The chicken was juicy at first then become a bit dry as I was eating more of it. I also thought it lacked a bit of flavour. The corn and roasted potato were also okay. The dessert was just a frozen eclair. My favourite item was the tomato soup. But, at the end of the day the meal was still edible. I think despite all of this the show was still worth going to at least once!“

“We visited this Swiss Chalet location and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, and Florece stood out for being especially attentive and kind. If you’re in the area and want great service and solid food, this is definitely a spot I’d recommend.“

“Been here a couple of times, and my last visit was by far the best.“

“Very good service and good!“

“Second time I’ve gone! This time I went with two long time pals for a fun Friday night out. We loved the food and our server Nina. She was super friendly and made some good food suggestions.“

“Went a few Saturdays ago while a World Cup game was on. The design & atmosphere is very welcoming & nice- they had TV’s both inside & outside with a DJ playing music inside. The service was by-far the best part; the staff were friendly & helped recommend us a beer to try (which we all enjoyed). The server noticed my friends pay for two of my drinks, asked why, we said it was celebratory, & she offered free shots on the house. Truly made our night. Also noticed the same staff person frequently walking around to make sure everything was in order, they seemed like they genuinely cared about the place. Would recommend.“

“Dined here with my friends in the evening and wanted to give a shoutout to our waitress, Flo!

She was extremely attentive and friendly throughout our entire dinner, and really made a positive impact experience here!

Hope she gets the recognition she deserves for hard work!“

“This diner is a real gem in parkdale. My family loved Harry's and continues to love its legacy and the beautiful staff that run The Originals. If you're fortunate enough to get a rush of nostalgia when walking through the door then you'll understand how special this place is to us. If not, then you please take my word for it and indulge in the atmosphere of warmth and kindness that fills this cherished diner.“

“A lovely place to relax and enjoy great food. Excellent service - fully recommend visiting here. We will definitely be back x“

“the Benny and green omelette. cozy modern twist. outdoor seating as well. Smiling cooks were the icing on the cake😉“

“A little bit on the slow side for service and not as clean as other locations due to the overall traffic level at this location. Food still good.

This location also tries to trade 5 star reviews with 2 pieces of donut bits. Weird tactic.“

“Everything was great. Our server Becca was attentive, pleasant and very professional. It made for a great night. The food was delicious. I had the lobster pasta, highly recommended. Be warned that it was a bit salty, but I feel that should be expected since it is seafood.“

“It’s full of great vibes !“

“This is the best Swiss Chalet in the GTA! The food is always well prepared, the restaurant is clean and pleasant, and most importantly, the service is outstanding! So welcoming and friendly! Even the owner often walks around and says Hello. Everybody there is so personal. It feels like a family.

Special mention goes out to Trish. She is absolutely wonderful!! She will make your day!

Michelle is pretty stellar, too!

I make it a point to visit this location, regularly. It's that good!“

“Outstanding service from Zak at Harvey’s! He was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Great attitude, fast service, and excellent customer care. Zak is definitely one of the best! Highly recommended.“

“I go 2 or 3 times a week. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love their chicken wraps and the hamburgers are awesome. Thanks alot!“

“Came by in June in the late evening. It was fairly busy but they were able to accommodate me on the patio. I initially wanted the brisket, but it was sold out. I chose the pulled pork as a replacement. It was extremely tender and flavourful, so it was still worth getting. I'll definitely come back again to try the brisket.“

“the burger was delicious... and the onion rings we're not oily... well done!“
