“Great ambience from what I remember Service was ok from what I remember We waited 3 hours for our table cause another table ahead of us sat down at 5pm opening time and left at midnight. We waitlisted at 8pm for a 9:30 table Drinks were sweet but good but sweet from what I remember Food was ok from what I remember I don't remember much“
“This place was really good! The food tasted great. The flavors were just right. The servers kept coming to fill our drinks again. We had a nice time eating with our friends. The place had a nice feeling to it. We liked the atmosphere a lot. It was a wonderful time at this restaurant. We want to go back again “
“First time here, loved it and did not even miss the meat.Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great tasting food.Vegan food done right! Loved the bang bang broccoli, Vodka pizza! Also if you like cocktails their Herb your enthusiasm is phenomenal.Their sushi is also a must try! So tasty!“
“the east end wins again, the most delightful, beautiful restaurant with delicious, complex flavours all accessible as a neighbourhood, non-pretentious joint. this is a rotating menu restaurant - so reviews you read here are likely not related to what you’ll eat — which IMO, is fantastic. we sat at the bar - a place we highly encourage guests to sit at - we ordered 7 dishes (2 more than suggested) and were blown away. the service was top notch - we always appreciate skilled staff, and the atmosphere + music were a solid 10. fantastic date spot, being your parents to eat spot, friends with benefits spot + my best friend is getting married so we are celebrating spot.“
“What an amazing experience. The wine selection is amazing, something for every pallet with a great explanation of the nodes, region and pairing. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the oysters, croquettes, chorizo sausage and peppers, brussel sprouts and dill aioli was out of this world, fennel salad and finished with the delicious apple pie with cheddar crumble. An amazing experience, each bite better than the last. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!!“
“Bar Raval is a vibrant restaurant bar on College Street designed by the architectural firm Partisans. The design is a modern interpretation of Spanish Art Nouveau, while paying homage to the pintxo, the traditional tapas bars from northern Spain. Carefully cut from sculpted mahogany wood, the space was inspired by Gaudi’s biomimicry. The sinuous forms within Raval encourage mingling, keeping in the same spirit as Spain’s jovial pintxos. The nearly all day Raval is open from 11am until 1am, but my favorite time to visit is before sunset to witness the transition from a naturally lit art piece to a more dramatic look after dark.Bar Raval’s tapas game is strong, with delectable sharing plates like manchego, Catalan sobrassada, and marinated octopus. For drinks, bartender Elise Hanson has got you covered. The talented Elise, who recently won Bombay’s Most Imaginative Bartender, made me Raval’s iconic Bishop’s Garibaldi with Campari, fluffy orange juice, cinnamon, guajillo and pasilla pepper and nutmeg as well as her favorite (and mine too): White port and house tonic, perhaps the perfect low ABV concoction.“
“The place is so different than the last day I came here. There’s less Izakaya and more like sushi bar menu. Service is good, the server is kind and explain in details about the food. The oyster is delicious, but I do miss the more Izakaya-kind of food.“
“Dining in was an unforgettable experience, greatly enhanced by our waiter, Dee, whose service was exceptional. She guided us through the menu with expertise, suggesting dishes like fresh sashimi, and irresistible grilled octopus.Dee's attentiveness made our visit special. She ensured our glasses were always full and our table laden with delectable dishes. Her passion and knowledge about the cuisine added a personal touch that made our dining experience stand out.In short, the restaurant is a gem worth visiting for its delicious food and outstanding service, especially from Dee. We left promising to return soon.“
“An excellent date spot, with top notch service. We had their tuna tartare (8.5/10), spicy ceviche (9/10), truffle gnudi (8/10) and the Branzino (7.5/10 - this was amazing but maybe the tomato side was overpowering). I’d say the spicy ceviche and tuna tartare cannot be missed and I’d definitely back go just for that. We were seated at the front area of the restaurant, which was really cute (but a tad chilly). We also got complimentary cheese puff starters (sorry forgot the specific name!) which were delicious! There is plenty of street parking and I’d definitely recommend!“
“One of the best restaurants in the city! We started off with the sourdough bread with olive oil - it was super soft! Then we moved on to the bone marrow, which was very decadent - it came with bread and chimichurri. The grilled octopus was great, as usual. Something we tried different was the mushroom dish - which was meaty and delicious. Service and cocktails were amazing! Vibes were immaculate.“
“Great ambience, friendly staff and tasty food. Really love the beef tataki , beef tartare and salmon tartare. Ingredients are very fresh. Love the mentaiko Caesar salad; tasty and fresh. Will definitely try other selections on the menu next time.“
“We had an AWESOME experience (provided by Kenny). Just a day out and our first stop before errands. Kenny made every effort to help everyone have a great meal. We will be referring all our friends to this location based on today's enjoyable experience.“
“In a world where all the restaurants on King Street are overpriced and under seasoned, only one place can provide awesomely seasoned food for a slightly lower price and that's Wang Lang. This new restaurant came out of the blue, but has been absolutely phenomenal. The food and customer service is amazing and their focus on authentic Thai flavours is absolutely mind blowing. I hope they continue to maintain this excellent flavour profile and service. Keep up the good work.Dietary restrictions: Not the best place for those with a nut allergy.“
“I might be biased because I used to work for the company. With that said, it's a very detailed room that's reminiscent of an old street car. I've only enjoyed cocktails ? there, so I can't say much about the food. But it's the same style as 416 snack bar, so it should be awesome ?.“
“Flor 2 Tapas Bar is a great find if you're after an upscale vibe that won't break the bank. Ideal for a date night or but also a spot you could go to hang out with friends.The beef sliders were decent, but honestly, everything else I sampled on the menu on the menu was top-notch. The flavors were on point, and everything came out hot. I’m not too into seafood but based on what I had I’m sure seafood lovers will love that because there were many options.I didn't even have space for dessert—I was stuffed! I have an excuse to come back and try other items and attempt a sweet treat at the end. Overall, if you're looking for a reasonably priced spot with a classy feel, Flor 2 Tapas Bar will not disappoint.“
“Great little wine bar with a good wine selection and great tapas, really nice vibe for a date or a night out with friends. The beef tartar with chanterelles, squash with hazelnuts and the mortadella sandwich were my person favourites. Highly recommend and will be back!“
“Over the past couple of years I’ve ordered from here a handful of times now and one thing I can contest to is how consistent and high quality the food is even for delivery orders. Quality ingredients, hot and fresh, generous portions, great price, sustainable packaging. That alone wows me, not to mention how tasty and well executed they are. Some of the best pasta dishes I’ve tried in the city so far. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Absolutely love this place. Great food that felt like I was back in Japan. The presentation is great and food tasted fantastic. Only wish they had a couple more vegetarian items or listed items that can be made vegetarian because it's hard to convince my spouse to come when there is only one item on the menu that she can eat. In any case it's so worth the trip out.The platter was worth it!“
“Absolutely incredible vegan journey! Where is your Michelin star?! Some of the dishes have an exquisite umami punch-through that hits the mark hard. So spot-on!Other than that, the bar area tables should be replaced as you cannot fit your legs between the table legs due to the design of having a table leg at each corner. Very uncomfortable in the bar area. Sore thighs and back pains.“
“My new favorite stop on Danforth. I love this store and the owners are just delightful to chat with and full of great cooking ideas. I also got their take-out paella for my SuperBowl party (both a chicken chorizo and a seafood) along with some empanadas -- it was all delicious!“
“Ive only lived around this place for 1.5 yrs and have read about their ramen for a while. It did not disappoint!Ramen: so simple yet packed full of flavors (altho also a little bit small, and for this particular price point, granted this is more like a izakaya rather than a ramen joint)Pork jowls with ponzu: So simple yet beautifully done.It's a cute izakaya with delicious (but also pricy) food. Enjoyed the experience tremendously.“
“The food here is absolutely delicious. We came in on a busy saturday night with reservations and were seated at the bar (not the best) but our server and the food more than made up for the uncomfortable seats. We ordered the premium yakitori set, washed it down with sake and ordered a few small dishes. I have been to their Vancouver location and really looking forward to the next dinner!Vegetarian options: Zuchinni, tomatoes, mushrooms, edamame“
“Good vibe. Good food. It was quite full and buzzing with activity on the Friday evening we visited. I would consider it one of the better restaurants in the area. It a good location offering an after dinner stroll with good a view of Toronto city lights at dusk or after dark. Parking is scarce but I would put this place on the A list.“
“The cocktails were enjoyable, and our server was friendly. Although the food was delicious, the portions were small compared to the price. The overall design of the place was great, but it was disappointing that the smell of fried food lingered and even stuck to my clothes.“
“Thank you for a wonderful party on Saturday! The food was fantastic, as always. There was lots of variety and even plenty of great food for the vegans and gluten-free guests. The attentive, caring service was amazing. The attention to detail was fantastic. You made our celebration memorable for everybody. I know we will all be talking about the evening for years to come. A fabulous experience.“
“Liked this place for their flavour full bbq food. But they only take debit or cash. We went in groups of 4 and we asked for two bills he said no one bill and one person pay and then the other e-transfer the half. It was weird because our waiter is telling us what to do. They should be able to split the bill and charge us. Cause what happens when you come with a bunch of people it makes it inconvenient for one person cause he or she would have to have the funds to cover the entire amount in cash or debit.“

“I had dinner at Deco's last Friday, and everything was great. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. It was an amazing evening.What a beautiful little restaurant with amazing staff and delicious food.Thank you very much for having us.“
“4.5 stars. Archive is one of the most unpretentious wine bars in Toronto. Josh knows his stuff, and the wine list is comprehensive and constantly changing, with new wines almost every week. The food are small bitea like meats ans cheese that pair well with the wine. Don't expect a meal here, its all about the wine.“
“Amazing atmosphere, its an “everyone knows everyone” kind of vibe each night and the staff is nothing short of the kindest and friendliest individuals you’ll come across in nightlife, they also hosted multiple parties for friends and i which have been incredible.“
“Came by on a week night. Happy hour deal for cocktails is really good. Had a fresh espresso martini (not on happy hour) and a rebojito. Good selection of cocktails that I was surprised to see available for happy hour 10-12am.The jamon croquettes with truffle was to die for. I only wish they were bigger so I could have more. Bread and butter was nice too.Service was ok wish they came by more often as we were constantly trying to order more dishes.On a positive note: we ordered the steak with béarnaise on the side. It came out with it on (egg allergy) and they quickly remade it and gave us some coconut shots while we waited for our new steak.“
“Hugh's Room is a beautiful and intimate venue, great for seeing musical acts, especially if you want an opportunity to feel really close to the stage.We had the most wonderful evening seeing the amazing Alicia Witt there. She is a talented musician. If you ever get a chance to see her live, take that opportunity! And this venue was perfect for her personable style.They have a small bar and friendly, personable staff. I'll definitely be returning to see other performances there!“
“Overall 4.5 stars!Sunday $6 Sapporo special? Great deal! Loved the food and service, can’t wait to come back.We ordered the baked oysters, karaage, sous vide duck breast and miso black cod.• Oysters were hot and cheesy - delicious!• Karaage was juicy and savoury - highly recommend .• Duck was the STAR of the night. Perfectly cooked, incredibly paired with yuzu sansho paste and soy based sauce and definitely a must order.• Miso back cod - buttery, rich and also a show stopper.They sold out of the salmon and scallop sashimi special but would have loved to try. Maybe next time.Atmosphere could be a bit better. Would recommend they fix the stairs to the bathroom - they’re a bit bent out of shape and kinda dangerous given how dark it is.“
“Feels like your own living room, the vibes are immaculate. Very cozy, intimate, laid back. We got the scallop ceviche, spicy shrimp ceviche, and green curry mussels. The food was alright, the shrimp and mussels were 7/10, the scallop was a bit too salty. Overall great vibe, will come back to try more stuff on the “
“This is a really special place. Nice low lit ambience. We sat at the bar. Bartender was personable and responsive with food and drink order through the night. Kitchen is amazing; we had artichoke hearts, grilled calamari and the brained beef short rib. All fantastic. Would definitely recommend family and friends to dine “
“First time here, met with a friend for some drinks. We sat at the bar and I’m giving 5 stars for the bartender, she was very attentive and pleasant even though it was super packed on a Friday night. I didn’t catch her name but she had long blonde multi coloured hair, funky gothic/comicon style make up and tattoos.“
“For a brief period of time, I lived in the restaurant oasis of Dundas West. In one month, I ate here three times. Convivial host, small scale place that feels like Japan. Outstanding collection of Japanese sakes, whiskies but the best part are the bar snacks which can be a meal unto itself.Best. Miso. Ever.“
“Came here for brunch after the place we were planning on going to which was nearby was full.The vibe was giving nightclub. Very dark. It was nearly empty inside (although there were people out on the patio). The music was terrible. Ordered a coffee, she said they have no cream, just milk... I was starting to think I'd made a mistake....But then the food arrived.The lumpia was the best lumpia I've ever had! Ordered the pork belly lettuce wraps and they were equally fantastic! My husband had the Philipino breakfast and really enjoyed it, and my friend had the French Toast which wasn't your typical French Toast but he also said it was really good.Will totally go back here sometime to try their dinner menu. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out.“
“The go-to pizzeria in the city! Had a large order of pizzas and pasta for an event and could not be more pleased! Everyone absolutely loved the pizza! And officially my new favourite pasta place! Excellent customer service experience. And the manager Gabriella was so kind and friendly. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“
“Neighbourhood fixture for at least 3 decades. Definitely dine in, not take-out. Many small dishes usually shared by diners. About five dishes per diner is usually about right. Able to cover vegetarian & gluten-free; vegan slightly more limited but you'll still do fine.“
“Don't come on a heavy stomach unless you're stretchy pants or willing to treat yourself. The food is tasty and unique pair with its bold flavor.It does get busy fast so arrive early if you have a big party otherwise you'll have to sit at the bar. ( perfect place for a date spot).“
“We chose here as family wanted to try it. We went early, so parking was not a problem. there is green P close by and there is a little on the street.What a treat. Lovely people who made every effort to make the whole evening one of the best. Of course the food was fantastic, but it had a little extra from the staff that put it, in our book, above other restaurants of this callibre. Word of warning, we speculate that this is a very popular local spot with punters , and not a large number of tables, so reserve.“
“We just had a funeral, and ordered some Spanish tortilla for the reception. We were blown away! It tasted just like my mother-in-law’s, and was enjoyed by all. Everyone was asking where it was from, and it was gone within minutes. It sure brought us back to Spanish family gatherings. Their garlic aioli with bread was also delightful. If the rest of their food is as good as this, you are in for a treat. Highly highly recommended!!“
“Service is excellent. I tried sake first time, and the waitress helped me for selecting sake, it was amazing. We ordered sushi and more things, they were really tasty. I will visit that place more often. Good price, good food, very good service, thank you for that experience.“
“One of me and my bf’s default date night spots since we live nearby. I recommend the Yuugi Sushi, Udon Peperoncino, Karaage, Tebasaki, and Grilled Oysters. Sesame salmon, their miso soup, and the edamame is good too. My fave cocktail is the Ginza Blue.I wouldn’t recommend the ramen poutine or the mackerel fried rice. Otherwise, good food and great experience!“
“came here because kintaro izakaya went viral on instagram. ? as soon as I stepped into the restaurant I was amazed by the authentic Japanese atmosphere. it was so zen and vibrant. the service was amazing and quick for a busy evening. I got myself a japango roll, 2 mochi bacons skewers, tori karaage, and kimchi yaki udon to share with my partner. we also shared a kikusui junmai daiginjo since they were having a deal. delicious!“
“Stopped by for a quick shot…or two after dinner before bed at the Fairmont Royal York, and was pleasantly surprised by being seated quickly at the bar, spoke to a gentleman whom was a little surprised that I was in and out in under 15 minutes. But quality tequila over quantity is definitely an option here. Patron A served, and was served with a smile.Only thing I felt out of place for was the gentleman discussing what seemed like a first date next to me in aspirations about getting into the FBI and how his date would be a stay at home Mom. Kind of felt like I was in the wrong environment or time period for 2024. But the other gentleman beside me was easy to have a brief conversation with, while enjoying watching them make other people’s drinks.“
“Nice, unpretentious place with reasonable prices. The place is connected to the Longo’s, and feels like a half food court/half restaurant, but the prices are below what you’ll pay at any of the big tourist stops near Rogers Centre or Scotiabank Arena.You can buy food from the Longo’s hot bar, or alternatively, order at your seat and it gets delivered to to you. They also have a licensed bar and Starbucks.It’s a great option on a cold day as you can walk to the Scotiabank Arena via the bridge over Maple Leaf Square without stepping aside.“
“Always a fun time at Japas! The staff are friendly and the food never disappoints. We love the Japanese tapas menu, so much variety - I highly recommend the chicken gizzards and the udons here!For entertainment, you can pay a $10 deposit for the plastic darts and play with the dart machines at the back. The darts are made of cheap quality so, the tips will break - you can always ask the staff for fresh tips.Pro: prob the only restaurant on Bloor West that has washrooms on the main floor and not the basement!Only con: cash or debit only“
“Came for the high beau-tea with a friend and had a great experience! Service was very kind and they were very accommodating given the fact that we were quite late to our reservation ? Was surprised by the food being pretty good since most of the high tea offered in Toronto has tasted kind of mid and is very gimicky. I thought the display was cute for the high tea- some of the items I was kind of ehhh about but overall enjoyed it!Vegetarian options: definitely on the tapas menuDietary restrictions: will accommodate allergies for the most partKid-friendliness: could bring a kidWheelchair accessibility: big space w/ elevators“
“Love the food here. Service is great too. Wish there was a Nome is Markham. I also want to shout out to chris for being a great help. 5 stars because of her superior service and positive attitude. Thank you for taking our last minute call orders on Monday night. See you soon :)“
