“Great spot amazing food !“

“Great service overall and the food was really good. It was busy when I went, I did made a reservation and arrived on time. I completely understand the 2-hour seating limit, and we finished within that time without any issue.

What took away from the experience was the constant reminders from the host — we were told about the time limit 3-4 times during our meal. We understood it the first time, but the repeated reminders really killed the vibe and made the experience feel rushed.

That said, our server was great — very polite and attentive. I’d come back for the food and service, just hoping the hosting experience is handled a bit more smoothly next time.“

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

“Can’t say enough about how great the service is here or how delicious the pastries are! I also bought breads. So happy to have them in our Cabbagetown neighborhood (second location). Thank you Manon, Charles and Jules for outstanding service! Bravo!“

“Milo’s cozy atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The customer service was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, making the experience even better.
The only minor concern was that it felt a bit loud during brunch, but the lively vibe added to the energy of the place. Overall, Milo is a solid choice for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service in a warm, inviting setting. Be sure to make reservations; walk-in seating is also available.“

“We got the rack of lamb "cook it yourself" kit on Friday; with the sides it's an amazing value and made an absolutely superb dinner. There was an error in my order, (understandable at 7 pm on a Friday) but the team went the extra mile to make it right. I highly recommend their meals for takeout, and I'm really looking forward to dining in on their extended menu when the lockdown is over.“

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.“

“We were early for our reservation but were seated promptly and not made to wait, which was very nice. No fuss was made over my walker, which was a great relief. As for the impressive Menu - even on a restricted diet, suitable food was easily found, thanks to our attentive waitress. This was so helpful, please thank her for us. Our food was delivered promptly, and it looked inviting and tasted better. :) I would also like to note that the prices are very reasonable for this delightful menu. We will come again.“

“great food and fun place to meet with friends. Very accessible.“

“The best food and great atmosphere!“

“I made an unplanned stop here and I’m really glad I did! The breakfast special (available Monday–Thursday, 9 AM–4 PM) was delicious, with generous portions and a great price. The service was fantastic too, making the visit even better.“

“Excellent food and great service. We enjoyed live music on the outdoor patio on Saturday night. Great addition to the neighbourhood on Queen Street!“

“We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the ambience and attention to detail at the Broadview. It was beautifully remodeled, but still had unique historic detail and touches everywhere. Our room was perfect and included a record player and a vinyl library on our floor! I appreciate things like the well stocked mini bar and quality toiletries. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. There was a water shut down issue on the street that was completely out of the hotels control and they compensated us with a discount, even though it was not their fault. It had really cozy and charming Christmas vibes too! We cannot wait to go back.“

“Fantastic ambiance, service from Ben. Food and wine were excellent! Highly recommend.“

“Joni, located on the ground floor of the Park Hyatt in downtown Toronto's Yorkville area, is a culinary gem, earning a solid five stars. Chef Jonathan consistently delivers a phenomenal dining experience, crafting seasonal menus and hosting special events that keep us coming back. Our recent visit featured a five-course preset menu that was nothing short of exceptional, starting with some incredibly appetizing appetizers that set the tone for the entire meal. I opted for the cod fish, which was cooked to perfection and absolutely amazing. We began with a delicious French onion soup as well. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon. The drinks were wonderful, and the entire dining experience was elevated by fantastic service from an attentive staff in a clean and well-maintained restaurant.“

“Classy and beautiful place, with great food and service. Definitely coming back!“

“Outstanding food, attentive wait staff and chef. Great atmosphere!! We will be returning for sure.“

“A large group of us came here and we had an amazing night! The service was amazing and the drinks and food tasted great - there were so many options to choose from, and all of them were delicious! They were also affordable and were able to accommodate all of my group’s dietary restrictions. We will definitely be coming again!“

“Me & my partner have been going to this restaurant for brunch lately and we absolutely love the place!
The food and drinks have been so great every time & the atmosphere is warm, welcoming & cozy. I also love the unique choice of rugs on the walls for decoration. This place gets very busy on weekends so there might be a wait list but it usually doesn't take that long to seat. Also shoutout to our server Kelly for being super nice & helpful & making us feel welcomed:)
Overall experience was great and i'd totally recommend.“

“Such incredible food , great presentation and attentive staff!“

“Friendly welcoming service with good food and lovely wine. Delighting to celebrate as a couple in an environment that feels stylishly intimate.“

“Had a good night at Teller Bar & Bistro. The beer was genuinely great, super crisp and exactly what you want after a long day. The steak was fine, not bad at all, just not particularly memorable. The gnocchi was good, really creamy and saucy in the best way.

Only thing worth noting is that the entrance was a bit confusing. It’s tucked below the hotel, so it took a minute to figure out where to go.
Overall, solid spot for drinks and a relaxed meal. I’d come back to try more of the menu.“

“One of our go-to spots for authentic Chinese food! The stir-fries never disappoint — especially the grilled fish, spicy pork, and fresh veggies when we’re super hungry. Also love their skewers — they’ve recently started marinating them before grilling, and it makes a big difference. So tasty!“

“I had specified that we were there for a birthday on the reservation; also told the waiter the same thing when asked. usually they would have a candle on the dessert that was ordered. Another couple did in fact get that while we were there last night. We did not.“

“Beautiful interior decor and very tasty meals! Amazing beer and wine!“

“We stumbled upon Bar Wellington by accident, and we are so happy we did 😊great pint of beer and the food ? Wow, not your typical pub grub we had the mussels and the flavour in the broth was next level, the bugger was juicy and flavoursome and the house fries we excellent to, the place is family friendly. We will definitely be back.“
