We went here for dinner before the theater, it is 15 min walk from our venue, but we like a little walk after dinners. The restaurant closer to our theater was overbooked. I don't do well in the crowds also. And I am so glad I chose Abrielle - it's quiet, panoramic windows allows you enjoy the view of King Street buzz without outside noise. Inside setting is elegant not overwhelming, beautiful modern chandeliers. Food is super excellent, I had a sea bream and bones were pulled out of it, skin was crispy not a dot burned. Foel gra was excellent on perfectly cooked brioche, and for desert I had strawberry pistachio tart - perfect, again. The waiter was very well articulated with polished manners. Nothing has been missed - sophisticated yet unobtrusive, I totally loved it all.

Food: taste was excellent; dishes were simple but balanced and prepared perfectly. 5/5 Service: our server was excellent in his engagement and recommendations, he gets all of the points. The kitchen however took about an hour to bring out our main course which even the shift manager acknowledged after we were done. We were told to expect outreach from their team but that didn't come. 2/5 Vibe: great lighting and general mood, great vibe for a date or a late night group outing. 5/5 Value: while the food was great the simplicity and portions line up more with a very good $$$ experience but the cost ends up aligning with a $$$$ experience. I think for the price points they are charging I would expect more complexity in the menu and much more consistent service. Overall I would recommend for the food, but am unlikely to go back.

The experience was lovely. One thing is that the dishes were coming much later than the time we finished. So there was a bit of a wait.

Staff was lovely and attentive, I ordered the Dover sole and unfortunately it was underwhelming. The presentation was also not great, the flavor profile lacked depth and seasoning beyond salt. For a dish at this price point, I expected more refinement and richness. It wasn't bad but again not great either, I had it exchanged with the pasta and that was lovely.

The service, ambiance, and energy was wonderful! Our steak and eggs were delicious, as well as our chicken and crepes. Coffees and macchiato were great too - the only notes we have are that the pastries, though tasty, would've been tastier served warm, also the salad dressing was on the strong side for us. Overall it was a great experience and we would absolutely love to visit again!
Pam
Excellent service with fantastic food. We will definitely be back! The dishes are simple but so flavourful. I wanted to try more!

stopped by for the winterlicious menu. overall Abrielle has a beautiful environment, small cozy seating areas and service was exceptional. only concern is the food. 4/5 1st course: fois gras on brioche, tasty appetizer with decent portions, some people may not like the sweetness of the jam spread. overall 4/5 stars 2nd course: grilled chicken, chicken was cooked perfectly, the tomato base sauce needed a bit more seasoning, overall dish was slightly bland 3/5 stars 3rd course: apple tarte, more disappointing item that night, not sure how it was prepared but the tarte and pastry was moist and soft, no crunch or crisp texture you'd expect with an apple tarte, maybe undercooked or frozen and thawed for too long, ice cream was basic, caramel sauce basic, overall 1/5

Enjoyed happy hour with a birthday add on. Elevated experience and made my guest felt special! Well worth it. Food is outstanding! Service impeccable from Jorge and the entire team.
I went with my pre-theatre party of friends, and the whole experience was positive. The staff were all very professional and warm, each in their authentic way. Special shoutout to floor manager, Marianne for her personal touches. Accommodations were made when requested (e.g. for vegetarians). Our server was kind, knowledgable and available without being overbearing. And the food, even the pre-fixe was a delightful mix of bold and subtle flavors with very good textures and excellently cooked proteins. It's a stylish yet comfortable space. Looking forward to another visit soon!

everything we had was delicious! fried eggplant, wagyu carpaccio, short rib and octopus. plus they helped make it special for a birthday at our table with a little dessert bite and candle that was much appreciated.
Monika
We ordered burrata, white truffle pasta (seasonal special dish), coffee chocolate ganache and a mocktail. Everything was delicious! Would defly visit again.

As always, I truly enjoyed my time and meal at Abrielle. I brought a friend out with me for her first experience, and the second she walked in she couldn't stop admiring the venue and how it looked. The staff is super knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. They made great recommendations which helped us plan what we were gonna eat. What sets Abrielle apart from all the other restaurants on King West is how fresh their meals are. From the entrées to the appetizers, you can tell that only the freshest of ingredients are used and that a ton of care is put into every dish. Every bite is an experience for your tastebuds. Overall, my friend and I had an incredible experience, I cannot wait to return for my next dinner.

Was pleasantly surprised at the bar. Came for happy hour, ordered Negroni, paperplane, Manhattan, and Gin Martini. All drinks were delicious. Would definitely come back soon.
