Food, service and atmosphere was awesome as always. I know this restaurant will re-open and reinvent itself in the new year. Since it's the same owner and chef, I can't wait to see what they have in store.

The staff were so pleasant and made sure we were taken care of, despite the extreme rush and large parties! The food was unbelievable! We had the opportunity to meet the head chef and he was so personable, along with the rest of the staff. Also, best cocktail I’ve ever had - Violet Nimbus (with vodka). Cheers to the Judaline team! We will be back! ?

Absolutely wonderful team at Judaline, our server was very kind and happy - and when my SIL who has a disability broke a glass there was no shame and quick clean up. Very understanding. As well the chef was kind to accommodate my silly allergies that ended up in such an amazing meal! We took my MIL for her birthday and she was not disappointed. Looking forward to the next menu change.

My favourite place to come back to! I'm always so excited to check out what's new on the menu and get a variety of plates to try a little bit of everything. This time around we got the Serrano jamon and manchego, with some focaccia and eggplant tahini dip to start. We got the brussel sprouts (fan fave), a gorgonzola, walnut and pear salad, the risotto and crispy tofu dishes! Everything was delicious and service was meticulous and wonderful as always. Secret menu hack is to have the violet nimbus mocktail with vodka - my friend said it's the best cocktail she's ever had!! I recommend this place to all of my friends, it's a must eat in Toronto!

I recently visited Judaline, eager to embrace a local dining option. Unfortunately, the experience was a mix of highs and lows. The restaurant's proximity to my home made me really want to like it, but there were notable drawbacks. Firstly, the wait time for the food was significantly longer than expected. This was compounded by the oversight of our appetizers, which never arrived. When the main courses were served, the bread was notably stale, a basic yet crucial misstep. On a more positive note, the server was remarkably pleasant and professional, which was a redeeming aspect of our visit. Additionally, the kitchen staff showed flexibility in accommodating a substitution in our order, which was a nice touch. However, the menu itself lacked creativity, offering little in the way of exciting or unique dishes. This, combined with the quality of the food, which left much to be desired, was a letdown. It's disheartening when a local establishment doesn't live up to expectations, especially when you're rooting for their success.

The menu is small but everything we ordered was very good. The only disappointment was that there was no expresso or cappucino and the coffee they did serve ( americano ) was not good.

Amazingly prepared food. Everything just hit right on the spot no missed! Food will bring you to the feeling of being home, comforting and fresh. From appetizers to main and the best dessert to the selection of wine all are amazing. Can't wait to try the new set of menu. Vita and bastien

The cocktails were creative and delicious, the food was flavourful and beautifully presented, and the service was attentive but not remotely pretentious or overbearing. What a wonderful evening, and perfect location for a pre-concert meal.
I appreciate the location of the restaurant being across from a concert venue, but the lack of preparedness for a Saturday night crowd wasn't ideal. We waited very long for drinks & food. Food was pretty cold when it arrived, missed the opening act, generally quite disappointing.

Very beautiful inside the restaurant and our server was very nice and attentive. The food was okay, we ordered cheese and prosciutto to start and it wasn't impressive to be honest. The cheese was just cubed with chopped peppers on top. The prosciutto was slicked so thick and rough, it wasn't presentable at all, and there was more fat than meat. We then ordered the braised beef rigatoni and striploin. The striploin was delicious, we were very happy with the portion and the flavour, however the rigatoni was okay, it didn't really have much flavour. Another thing that turned me off right away was my husband was paying for parking on his phone as soon as we got there and when we walked in they offered to take our jackets, my husband didn't respond right away as he was trying to finish up paying for parking and the man asking for our jackets rudely asked for my husbands jacket. It was bizarre. Anyways the 2 servers on the floor were really great if overall give this restaurant a 2.5 out five stars.

I wanted to love this place as the staff are wonderful, the ambiance a lovely mix of hip and comfortable. My husband's old fashioned cocktail was top shelf. It's just that the food was, well, not exceptional. Two of the four of us had the duck breast, and maybe for duck lovers it would have been great but for those fairly new to eating duck it was unenjoyable. I had the eggplant, not because I'm vegan but because I love eggplant. The eggplant itself was nicely cooked but all it came with was a tiny spoonful of hummus and a little pile of spice mix. It felt very virtuous and missing some elements to elevate it to the $28 price point. The fourth of our party had black cod. When I asked her how it was she said 'fine', and left a portion on her plate. It's one of those places where everything is extra - bread, veg, starch. So it added up quickly. Olive oil lemon cake sounded exciting but was bland. Certainly no better than what I make at home. So maybe this should be 3 stars? But again, staff and ambiance great. Maybe we just ordered badly.

The hostess was very welcoming. She informed us of their 'happy hour' mixed drink special. My wife had a Negroni and I enjoyed a Dark and Stormy - delicious. The staff were VERY attentive to us and recommended a nice chardonnay to go with our BC Black Cod served with a sweet potato puree. We also enjoyed their crispy brussels sprouts which had a bit of heat added - delicious ! The desert was not overly sweet and was served with mascarpone cheese. We were surprised at how reasonable the bill was. Judaline is conveniently located across the street from The Danforth Music Hall. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely ambiance and drinks, great service. But the food was not up to par, sadly we left hungry and went to another spot to fill up. I like what they are doing but work to be done on the food
