Cactus Club Cafe First Canadian Place

Had my 20th birthday here and it was so fun! Our server Lena was so sweet and helpful. We were a big group but she remained so nice and funny all the way through. The food and drinks were so good and so affordable! I left FULL and post-tip had only spent like $35. I will definitely be back.

I am writing to express my disappointment following my recent visit to your restaurant. As a frequent guest at both your locations, I’ve always appreciated the excellent service, ambiance, and food that Cactus Club is known for. Unfortunately, my experience on June 22 fell far short of those expectations.

We had made a reservation for 5 guests at 10:15 PM and arrived 10 minutes early. However, upon speaking with the hostess, we were told that no table was available. She explained that a “system glitch” caused our reservation to be accepted and that the earliest we could be seated was at 11:00 PM — a 45-minute wait, despite having a confirmed reservation.

What was particularly disappointing was the lack of accountability or genuine apology. The hostess repeatedly blamed the system error without offering any alternative solutions or making an effort to mitigate the situation.

As a loyal customer, this experience was both frustrating and disheartening. I hope you take this feedback seriously and review your reservation and guest management process to prevent similar situations in the future.

Great place. Excellent food and unbeatable attention. Try the rooftop.

I and my friends had a wonderful time. Muskan was the best, she took very good care of us

Truffle chicken Gnocchi was very salty

Sureal service! Had an issue with my jacket, was taken care of right away. Food is excellent, but the service omg wow. Thank you!!!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Cactus, and our server Sadiq was so welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away.

Great service and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed everything we got!

the vibes here go hard. came for dinner on a monday night, plenty of room and yet it was still busy. the music was just right, and the beats were great. the lighting is perfect and intimate. i only hate that they primarily have high top tables, but shockingly they were pretty comfortable. i didn’t even realize that the first floor is only a taste, the top floors have even more room and comfort, it was super busy up there. the bathroom are so clean and chic as well, overall the ambiance of this place is awesome. our server, i’m sorry i forget his name, was a star. he was so genuine and super quick + attentive. the drinks were excellent and the food was superb. loved the truffle fries, the sushi, and our salads were great. yum yum yum all around!!! prices are actually not as bad as i thought they would be, pretty reasonable for the business type and on par with other chains like Joey (though i’m now convinced cactus is way better!!).

also the crème brûlée was fire.

Modern pub/restaurant in downtown Toronto. Young atmosphere, music and matching lights.
The food is very good and at a lower price than the rest of the surrounding options. The attention of the waitresses is excellent. Recommended for an outing with friends.

Our buddy recently got divorced and lost his custody battle so we went out to celebrate. Aryan helped us make it a night to remember for him. Highly recommend if you're also in the same boat looking to have one last hoorah before the child support payments start rolling in.

I’ve been coming to this place for years but never felt compelled to write a review—until now. Although the good and atmosphere has always been great, sometimes the servers weren’t the most pleasant. I recently visited with some clients, one of whom had severe allergies and couldn’t eat much from the menu. Our server, Trinity, went above and beyond to find a solution—and she did!

Trinity is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and has such a magnetic energy. She truly made the experience exceptional. I’d come back just to have her as my server again.

Highly recommend if you are in Toronto! The butternut squash is amazing along with the truffle Parmesan chicken, fish tacos, crème brûlée and espresso martini! Service was excellent as well!
