During our visit today , we celebrated our wedding anniversary, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly special. We were warmly welcomed with a complimentary glass of Prosecco, which was delightful and set the tone for the evening. The menu offers a variety of delectable dishes, with some of the most popular items including the Grilled Salmon, Lobster Risotto, and their signature Cliffside Burger. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the culinary team's dedication to quality.

Here’s our updated review…

We had such a positive experience during our last visit that we decided to return to this place before heading back to Toronto. Our favorable opinion remains strong and is reinforced by the new brunch menu and the extraordinary and friendly service from Haley. This time, we ordered steak & eggs, smash burgers, lobster bisque (AMAZING), Cinnabon buns, and raspberry cheesecake. Everything was delicious, and the ambiance was just as beautiful as during our first visit!

I had brunch at the Cliffside Dec 31st with my family and on my own before heading home on Jan 1st. The atmosphere is fabulous, and the view is incredible! Brunch with my family, we had Zack as our server, and he was wonderful! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious! We shared some sweet breakfast items together, and then I had the eggs benedict with salmon. It was all exceptional!

On the 1st, I ate the traditional breakfast at the bar and was welcomed into the restaurant by Taryn, the hostess! She is absolutely spectacular! Her attention to detail and the way she interacts with every customer who comes into the restaurant is amazing! She even took the time to make sure that I had everything I needed! She is super friendly and welcoming, and it really adds to the wonderful experience that the Cliffside brings. The traditional breakfast was exactly as I asked; perfect over easy eggs, crispy bacon, and sour dough bread. Their home fries are incredible!

I highly recommend this restaurant and the experience that it brings, and I can't wait to return again!

We spent our morning at the Cliffside for brunch and it exceeded our expectations. We tried both their sweet and savoury food items (lemon meringue french toast and the st.lawrence market breakfast sandwich), and they were amazing! The aperol spritz was so delicious. Our toddler had markers and a colouring page provided to him and a booster seat too. Everyone was so welcoming and service was timely and professional (Zach was our server and was so patient with the large group of us). Thanks for a great morning meal, can’t wait to come back again!
