“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!!!!“

“It’s more of a mix of a Korean and Japanese izakaya. It’s Korean-owned, so I wouldn’t say the food is fully authentic Japanese, but everything I’ve tried has always tasted great. I also love their beer and umeshu.

The service was just okay - nothing special. The location is a bit difficult to get to without a car. Overall, I really enjoyed all the food I tried and would definitely come back, although it’s still a bit pricey.“

“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.“

“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“

“I had such a fantastic time here recently. The vibe is exactly what you want for a relaxing night out, and the selection of craft beers in the refrigerators is honestly impressive.

I really enjoyed the creative touches they put into their drinks. One of my cocktails even came garnished with a little paper airplane on a skewer, which was such a fun detail. I will definitely be coming back again soon.“

“It may be one of the hottest days of the year but, we came in craving some comfort food and this perfectly hit that itch. The chicken was extremely juicey, the skin crisp, meat tender and quite flavorful, also I was impressed by the size of each peice and how they butchered it. We were given a small platter of buttered corn on the house and it was a nice starter to preset the meal. The music hits the vibe of a relaxing casual eatery and the combos are worth the money. Next time I would order the combo with a larger group to finish it we went for combo 2 and got the galbi and soy garlic chicken. The galbi was my favorite my partner preferred the soy garlic, the tteokbokki was a little smokey, little spicey, and was loaded with meat it was worth it. I will come back and this will be a another great night spot after some drinks and karaoke.“

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

“Great service. Food takes a bit if time to come out from kitchen, but its super fresh and hot! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and had chicharon plato fuerte and chicken cutlet w rice, salad fries tostones , beans! Nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked.“

“We truly enjoyed a leisurely lunch today at Kelsey's Richmond Hill. We need to give a lot of the credit and thanks to our server, Sarah, who was always there when we needed her. She provided us with some excellent suggestions for food and drinks as well as impeccable service coming from a warm and friendly person. While my wife was thoroughly enjoying a cup of tea and a hearty soup with salad and a sandwich, I was just beside myself with every bite of the mushroom melt burger. The burger and fries were prepared and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that you try this burger, especially if you love mushrooms. Treat yourself. I was also introduced to a delicious refreshing beer called Muskoka Pineapple Ninja. I've never seen it before and it appears that if I can't find anywhere else I'll have to go back. All in all, this was a perfect afternoon. Also, we have promised ourselves that we are going to do this again next week.“

“Great spot for the family. We were well looked after and great beer. Sonia took care of us :)“

“Speedy, friendly service and tasty drinks.“

“Food, service and atmosphere is consistent. I believe the menu changed a few years back and for the better. The food and drinks here are delicious. The prices are bit on the higher side if you are on a budget or have a larget family. Lots of free parking. Nice, spacious, cozy patio. TVs by the bar area to watch sporting events. The staff overall is friendly. It's a great local, quick-bite, go to place after work in Richmond Hill. Very relaxed ambient.“

“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.“

“Robot Boil House Toronto is a great restaurant. The food is delicious and served by a smart robot. The robot experience was wonderful. I will visit again“

“Chat Bar has such a cool vibe for a late-night hangout! The energy is lively, fun, and perfect for catching up with friends over drinks and snacks. The food is great for sharing, the atmosphere feels young and relaxed, and it’s the kind of place where the night naturally keeps going. Service was friendly and quick, even later in the evening. Definitely a great spot when you want something casual, tasty, and full of late-night energy.“

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

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

“Food was excellent (very umami) and arrived quickly but service was somewhat questionable.

We called ahead of time to see if the restaurant was busy, the server was hesitant to respond though the answer was that there would be space for our party of 5.

When the ebi shrimp (5 pcs) arrived, I was curious as to why there were only 4 crackers to which she hesitated then responded “oh?” And walked away.

We realized after we finished the maze udon that the dish was missing the rice and went up to the counter to ask for rice, to which the server responded “you’re supposed to get it after you finish the udon”. I said “yes, we did” and she then asked if we wanted the rice now. Not sure if she had forgotten as it didn’t seem like she had the intention to check on the table.“

“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 🙏“

“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.“

“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. 🌶🍗🍟“

“First time here with my family and it was a great experience from start to finish. Seems like an odd spot for a restaurant behind the Green Park building, but worth the visit.

Nick was fantasic all night with great suggestions and conversation. Everyone loved their dishes/dessert and we will definitely be back. So much more to try!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you are completely exhausted by sterile, cookie-cutter corporate bars and overpriced mixology spots, The Hideout is the exact antidote you need. This place doesn't try to play nice with standard mainstream trends - it is loud, beautifully gritty & possesses a raw, unapologetic rock-and-roll soul that keeps the city's real alternative scene alive.

The visual identity of the space is immaculate if you appreciate an edgy, counter-culture aesthetic. It’s got that dark, neon-tinged, underground energy where the walls feel like they have stories to tell. The live music curation here is exceptional; they consistently book local bands and artists who actually play with grit, distortion, and genuine passion. You don't come here to sit quietly and pose; you come to feel the bass vibrating through the floorboards and lose yourself in the crowd.

The bar workflow is fast and straightforward. They serve cold beer, heavy pours & honest drinks without any pretension or slow, over-complicated mixology queues. The crowd is diverse, fiercely expressive & entirely authentic - zero gatekeeping, just pure collective energy. It is an essential, fiercely independent staple of Toronto's nightlife for anyone who wants their music loud, their nights long & their spaces packed with real character.“

“Awesome service and great staff“

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

“Aditya is just a great person, great humor, professional, always providing the best service and not to mention he pours the BEST draft beer!!. He always goes out of his way to make you feel welcomed. See you soon your friend Sandro Go Chucks Go!!“

“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.“

“This place is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. 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.“

“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.“

“My family went at Kelsey’s for lunch last Friday and the service was amazing. We had a issue with our daughter’s usual order and she wanted MAC & cheese with something else so they went to ask the owner (Steve) and he came to our table and he resolved our issue and explained to us what my daughter can order with the mac & cheese and he was very polite and kind to us and continuously kept checking on us at our table to make everything is great with us and our order. I will also like to thank Dave and Shafik as well for going the extra mile to solve our issue by getting the right person to help us. We always come to Kelsey’s if we are going out for dinner or to celebrate something and each time the service and food are always excellent and I would recommend others to experience Kelsey’s food and services. Thank you Steve, Dave and Shafik and god bless you guys.“

“Food, service, atmosphere all great! we will be back!“

“5 stars for our wonderful waiter Christian U. He was friendly, attentive, extremely polite and a true gentleman. His awesomeness made the food taste even better. The food was quality and I cannot wait to eat here again. Thank you for your great hospitality.“

“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.“

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