“I've been coming to Carbon Bar and Grill for years! The food is incredible (especially their wings, burgers, and fries). The staff have always been kind, attentive, and accommodating (especially-so for large parties). Definitely recommend this spot for a meal with the family or a drink with friends.“

“I'll keep the secret, but just go! It's delicious and perfect!“

“A classic French restaurant with a great atmosphere and complimentary cocktails that taste unique.“

“We had such a great experience at this izakaya. The food was absolutely delicious everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The beef tartare was especially memorable: light, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The karaage was another standout—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right.

Service struck that perfect balance—not overbearing, but still attentive and timely, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

The only small downside was that it was a bit on the darker side, making it a little hard to see at times.

Overall, a fantastic spot and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Gabbys Danforth.... Rude staff and an even more rude owner... don't bother complaining about anything because you're just going to get cussed at... absolutely appalling behavior... the usual crowd are loud obnoxious and seriously over their limits. I've witnessed tables and chairs falling all over the place on many occasions because people are way too intoxicated to think. The owner acts like he's untouchable and says things like " you're in a bar what do you expect " . I expect to be treated as a paying customer. Never going there again. also... one of the servers is literally always drunk out of her mind... my very first visit she was crying about her ex... and almost every time I ordered wings SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG....over and over again!! let's just say ive had many free wings and stuff from her as an apology... I gave them a chance. several actually. but after that conversation with the owner.... im done. DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“On a visit to Toronto and was taken to The Only Cafe to listen to the live music. A nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks and friendly service.“

“Great staff, always helpful and knowledgeable. Comfortable environment for any and all, great game selection and Tuesday night MTG drafts!“

“What a cozy place in the east end! Great beer selection and the food portions are hefty. I had a ceaser salad 15 bucks ad chicken 5 bucks!?!? And it was huge first time I’ve been bested by a salad. I would have easily paid ten bucks for the add chicken with out blinking an eye. Great job team! Keep it up“

“Absolutely loved my experience at El Palacio Latin Taste Restaurant & Bar!

The server was incredibly sweet and welcoming — She even gave me a generous amount of hot sauce on the house because I liked it so much, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The food was amazing: the nachos with steak were loaded and delicious, the tacos were great, and the steak with plantain, eggs, and fries was outstanding. Everything was flavorful and clearly made with care.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others!“

“It's a cozy little bar with lots of live music by great musicians! The staff are great and there's a good beer and drinks selection.“

“2026 February 3.5★
Happy Hour
Coconut calamari $17
Thick pieces of squid battered lightly and topped with crunchy coconut slivers. Very good. Though a bit expensive but good.
Original Bellini $5
Who doesn't like sweet peach slushy with alcohol? Pretty good. Would recommend if you haven't tried.
Ample parking, just getting in and out might be a bit challenging.
Happy Hour is a great option.“

“MOONLIGHT PUB is the perfect local hangout, bringing together people of all ages for a great time. Whether it's students playing pool, adults singing their hearts out on Friday karaoke nights, or the live band performances every two weeks, there's always something happening.
The friendly staff and bartenders make the place even more welcoming, ensuring you feel right at home. The atmosphere is lively, with a great mix of house music and classic rock 'n' roll—plus an awesome jukebox and gaming machines to keep the fun going.
It’s a go-to spot for a casual night out, especially if you're rolling in with a group of 5 or more if you're looking for a laid-back, entertaining bar with great vibes and place to get drunk and wasted! this is the place to be! 🍻🎶🎤“

“This place is amazing! We came in here by chance and Mary immediately greeted us and asked us our names. She’s fantastic. The bar is super clean and the beer is cold and the lines are clean.

I would’ve paid for the conversation with her alone 🙏“

“I recently visited this place with a friend, and I must say, it was a pleasant experience. The food was undeniably good, and the service was nice and attentive. The restaurant itself was clean, including the restrooms, which is always a plus. The dark, moody vibe inside adds to the ambiance, creating a cool setting.

The food arrived in a timely manner, and I enjoyed a peach sake, which was delicious, though the drinks are a bit on the pricier side. However, the food prices are reasonable, and they offer a variety of local drinks, which is great. The chef seems dedicated to accommodating diners, which is a nice touch.

Overall, it is a solid choice for a meal. The combination of good food, a pleasant atmosphere, and attentive service makes it worth a visit.“

“Popped in one night with my wife after some friends recommended it. We weren't sure about staying because we don't really drink alcohol much. The place was amazing in terms of decor: 80s paraphernalia everywhere. The bartender was incredibly friendly. So we stayed and shared a ginger beer. Definitely worth a visit, and I would go back.“

“Come and see us at The Linsmore - hot dogs-cold drinks- warm smokes!! 🌭🧋😊“

“If you haven’t been to Tropical yet, you’re missing out.
Nickisha runs this place with so much heart — the kind of energy that makes you feel like family the second you walk in. You can tell she loves what she does because every plate she serves has that home-cooked care behind it.
Now let’s talk about these fries. Loaded with grilled chicken, melted cheese, and fresh peppers — every bite is smoky, juicy, and ridiculously satisfying. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, the fries have that golden crisp, and the whole thing is drizzled in sauce that ties it together like a hug in food form.
She doesn’t just serve food — she serves comfort. Her kindness, her laughter, and her attention to detail make this spot a must-visit. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting down for a quick meal, you’ll leave feeling full in more ways than one.
Tropical isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a vibe. Come hungry, come curious, and let Nickisha reminds you what good food and good energy really taste like. 🌶🍗🍟“

“great food and cocktails- love the sangria! cozy ambience!“

“Great service & friendly people.😊“

“Awesome service and great staff“

“My friends and I have now been going to Gabby's for quite a few times, maybe about 6 by now, usually on Sundays. The last couple of times have been on a Friday and Monday. We are mostly handicapped, using walkers or a wheelchair. I usually make the reservation, and specify a table near the lovely large windows. It has never been a problem on Sundays, but there seems to be one waitress who objects to our sitting near the window as we will "block" the servers. It is difficult enough being handicapped never mind having a surly woman telling us we are a problem. So, maybe this woman doesn't work on Sundays. We love this restaurant and the food and atmosphere is so great, usually. Most disappointing.“

“Old crowd that have been supporting this stablishment for a decade or two, however they are welcoming to newers that keep respectfull. Owener and staff are atentitive.
The grilled chicken wings are my favorite and boost is so cheap!“

“Baldev Paan is a must for your after dinner mouth freshener! We came here with our family after dinner and ordered mithi paan. They were juicy and appetizing. The store also carries kulfi, YUM! And many other South Asian snacks and dry groceries.“

“Not a single place like it in the area!

It’s like vacation while at home. Like being in a friend’s basement while also being somewhere completely new and exciting, where you never know what you’ll experience.

Thursday night karaoke’s with DJ Ed are absolute the tops. Any song you can think of, great crowd of varied talents - everyone’s got their signature song.

Food is super decent too.

5/5, no notes.“

“Stepping into Sophie's isn't just about watching a game or having a bite to eat, it's like coming home. The moment you're greeted by owners George and Sophie, you feel an instant warmth that's rare to find. They don't just run a business — they're the heart of the place, always taking the time to chat and make sure everyone feels like a regular. What truly sets Sophie's apart is their deep commitment to the community. Whether they're hosting a fundraiser or sponsoring a sports event, George and Sophie consistently show up and give back. They're also unwavering LGBTQ+ allies, creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. It's clear they care about more than just their bottom line, they care about the people and the neighbourhood they serve. Sophie's is more than a sports bar, it's a true community hub, and we're lucky to have it.“

“I have been going to Edie's Place for 12 years now. Very clean and comfortable without any issues whatsoever. I would suggest to anybody.“

“I can't believe I ate a burger with such amazing flavor and taste. The size of serving is large like the amount of
Love they put into there cooking. Absolutely delicious. I can see this being a restaurant that has many advancements in the food industry and really creating a positive mark with the food critics. Keep up the good work. And thank you for the delightful savory taste you have left on my palet.“

“Great place just on wine good people proper pool tables bartenders great acknowledges customers just a good place to have a beer eat some food and talk some smack about how the leaves are going to win or the Blue Jays are going to take it lol“

“My son and I were looking for a cup of coffee, and were drawn to 367 Cafe by the promise of a patio. It's in the back and can be heated. Essentially this is a cozy cafe and sports bar. The very friendly proprietor told us it isn't worth his while to try to serve meals during the pandemic. The espresso was very good, however.“

“Great place, will be coming back here often for sure!“

“I can never get tired of this place. I really enjoy their menu. Great atmosphere, great weight staff overall, I have a great experience visited the Sherway Gardens location first followed by the location by Colossus Both locations left me with great experience overall and will return again!“

“一個字 好.............“

“Came here to get a beefana to go. They make them really good here and you can't beat the price!

Its mostly older Portuguese people here, and it really is a place stuck in a time capsule. Great for watching soccer games.“

“The BEST wonton soup ever is right here at REINCARNATE.Discovered it years ago when I was sick and in need of something warm & comforting. The chef / owner makes it fresh, with garlic slices and Chinese greens. The broth is so flavourful and the wontons are tender with juicy pork. Made just perfectly. No other wonton soup even comes close. So lucky to live nearby to be able to get it whenever the craving hits.“

“My wife Lorrie and I dropped in to Kelsey’s for dinner tonight and a great meal as always Excellent burgers with a great selection of assorted food on the menu with drink specials It was great to see Ricky again still behind the bar with all his charm and smiles as he greets you at your table It’s was also nice to see the manager walking around the restaurant talking to everyone throughout the night Let’s not forget the great selection of desserts Thanks Guys Paul Sands Unionville“

“Last night by 9 family eat denr Very good“

“Great times.:: Great Staff!!“

“i love it! The outside patio has a relaxing ambiance. Quick service as well.“

“Enjoyed a celebration with family and friends at this pub. It is a fun atmosphere with good energy. The staff [especially Karan and Victoria] are welcoming, professional and attentive. They have quite reasonably priced food and drinks. It was an incredible event and we felt the experience was enhanced by this pub.“

“I hate this place. For real, don't go if you hate good times. You'll bring everyone down.

If you like good times, maybe avoid it too. This is an 'A' game spot. Bring it or send it. You'll never find a more real crowd.

Try the Guiness, they pour it better then your grandma in her anniversary.“

Whenever I I need a proper meal, this restaurant comes straightaway to my head. fresh and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.professional crew, and great vibes. In addition to that, the tariff is fair. I sent my friends to this place with great pleasure.“
