The veal parmigiana was excellent with a side of delicious bucatini and the cheese plate after with port wine jelly was good as well. The only disappointment was the rosé from the north of France - should stick to Provençal rosé

It is a nice restaurant with few tables. We were the first to arrive and only a couple of table were occupied when we left. The food was only so so. The crab cakes consisted of two small way overpriced and not very tasty deep fried cakes accompanied by a tiny portion of sauce ( hardly enough for one) and few greens. The shrimp appetizer was better but way overpriced for 5 tiny shrimps. It would have been better if we could have had some bread to soak the sauce with. Unfortunately the waiter never came back. The lamb shank was not bad with the vegetables nicely cooked. The steak and frites were quite good. What really ruined the meal is the service. The waiter was bored, uninterested and just going through the motions. Considering that we were the only customers he ignored us once we ordered. It certainly not because he was too busy. He brought the appetizers with the bread and disappeared. We kept looking back to try and get his attention to get some more bread but he continued to ignore us. He ignored us again after he brought the mains only to return at the end to clear the dishes and bring the bill. Only then he replenished our empty water glasses. The service was not any better at an adjacent table. He equally ignored them. Even though our reservation stated a birthday celebration no mention of that on arrival and no offer of a dessert to celebrate even though we did tell the waiter it is a birthday celebration. I doubt we will return in spite of the food being not too bad.

The food was good but our dinner experience was extremely disappointing and ruined by the appaling service. The one person providing service could not handle the amount of tables (9-10 small parties while we were there) and was almost defiantly inattentive to our table. We understand that sometimes there are staffing issues, but then it is best to communicate that fact to diners and apologize. Only some dishes were cleared after the starters, the other dirty ones had to wait until the main courses were cleared. We asked for a second glass of wine, it arrived 15 minutes later. We ordered 2 desserts, only one arrived. Had to ask for water twice before getting any. The waiter delivering and moving our water glasses by the rim was both unprofessional and unhygienic. We waited 30 minutes for the bill, until finally going up to the waiter (owner?) in order to have him print the bill and collect the payment. Have not had such poor service in a Toronto restaurant ever. There seems to be a lot of regulars, as the person working there was hugging and chatting with many patrons. Maybe they have enough customers, because they definitely made us feel that no effort is needed to host new customers, like us.
I take the Yonge street bikelanes on a daily basis. Makes it easy and convenient to hit up local business on the way home from work.I will NOT be visiting this business, that's for certain.Any business who would actively attempt to abolish bike lanes on an important street does not deserve the patronage of cyclists.

Never been before went for a family dinner two brothers and family friend one brother and family friend said it was good - and so right they were the food was outstanding and they were able to accommodate allergies I did not pay so far I not know final tally but
My fiancé and I really enjoyed your vday dinner here last night. Service was excellent and kind, food was succulent, and people around us were classy. Only complaint would be that the restaurant is small, which means that when the door to the business is opened by the occasion Uber eats, it tends to slam behind them, reverberating across the restaurant. Easy fix though, if they put in some sort of soft door stopper. Really enjoyed our time at Avant Gout, and would highly recommend!
