Honestly, this was well worth it. The dips were delicious, cheese rolls, wagyu tartare and octopus incredible. And fantastic cocktails. What a pleasant surprise!

We had an incredible experience at Mar'aa in Yorkville. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale yet warm, but what truly set the evening apart was the epic service. Shondella (... I do hope I am spelling her name correctly) didn't just take care of us— she and fellow staff members anticipated everything. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving. The dishes were fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented, with standout flavours that made it clear the kitchen takes real pride in their craft. Combined with the level of service we received, the entire night felt elevated. If you're looking for Mediterranean dining in Toronto that delivers both exceptional food and world-class service, Mar'aa is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended.

The ambiance was great, our server was amazing. The food was tasty however the portions are very small. This place is definetly pricy for what you get.
Lisa
Nice ambience, food was delicious (although the meat was a bit salty). Our server was kind and attentive, but service was slow and inconsistent. Overall, a great dining experience but lacking a bit to make it a solid 5 star.
Rana
Excellent service and food! A bit pricey but not the worst I e seen. Ambience was great, greeted at the front with a welcome drink. Signage a little poor when trying to find the restaurant but that is my only “complaint”
Emi
The food and ambience was amazing. Their hospitality was like no other place in Toronto! The hostess was very rude but the manager Michael was great and helped us with our concern! overall highly suggest.
Lana
A fantastic spot for date night, girls night out or just a group of friends getting together. Every dish we had was top notch. Great to share the plates! Cocktails are fun and different. Loved the pre elevator drink before even stepping into the restaurant. Vibe is trendy but still has that Mediterranean feel.
Chris
This was a fantastic experience from the moment we entered the lobby. The hostess was friendly, our server was attentive, friendly and professional. The food and atmosphere were outstanding. Excellent experience overall!
Joan
Two of us shared a few dishes and each one was bursting with flavours. Can't wait to return and try others.
Zainab
Extraordinary atmosphere & services, everything was perfect from the welcome drink to the service and food. The portions are a little bit small and for share so u order a lot of plates but it's all worth it. And the view is to die for!!!! We were celebrating a birthday we got a complementary cake The rice was honestly my favorite and the chicken kabob was different than what we normally get but that was definitely amazing and the cheese rolls were really good with a touch of sweetness lastly duck confetti hummus and lahmcun were also delicious
I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the service. The asian waitress who served us was quite rude and dismissive, which really affected the overall dining experience. The food itself was decent, but the attitude and lack of courtesy from the staff made it hard to enjoy the meal. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving customer service, because the restaurant does have potential.

Everything was just perfect. The food was delicious, but the service was one of the best I've had in Toronto. From the hostess to our server, everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. The ambiance and interior were beautiful too, you can tell they've paid attention to every little detail.One of the best experiences I've had

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great. The food was good - not great but good enough. The biggest issue was with the drinks; they were watered down so much we might as well have ordered mocktails! Definitely not worth the price tag and we tried several amongst the group.
Sam
We very much enjoyed our dinner. The food was inventive, service very friendly and attentive and view great from the 51st floor. Try the tahini Caesar salad and the spice Margarita. But everything was very good.
