Delightful meal with my family for my dad’s birthday. Our waiter was awesome and recommended a great wine. The bar menu was delicious and the scallops were especially delicate. Would definitely go back!

Food and wine were nice. Unfortunately, service was not on par with a restaurant of this price.They served one of our dishes to a different table before realizing they made a mistake, one of the servers was complaining about other Toronto restaurants with the group next to us, and they added an extra drink to our bill.Lastly, they emailed and asked about dietary restrictions and if we were celebrating. They seemed to have ignored this and served us a dish with the ingredient we asked to avoid, and did not acknowledge the celebration.

Went to 20Victoria for our anniversary dinner. The bar menu was impressive and flows well. Everything feels genuine. I can write a very long review about the food/ambiance... but I'll leave it up to you.

I ordered scallop, beef carpaccio and duck. Everything is fine except beef carpaccio, someone messed up and put way too much salt on it. What a disappointment.

Most of the courses in the tasting menu were well balanced, but a few dishes were a bit simple and unidimensional. They forgot about our friend’s dietary restriction despite asking about it minutes before.Service was somewhat inconsistent as our main server seemed very disengaged, while the other servers that tended to our table were much more interested in our dining experience.Overall, a good dining experience with some room for improvement. Price was also appropriate in a world of inflated prices thanks to the Michelin guide. I would be happy to return and give them another try.

I was very excited to try this place as people have raved about it and I love a great tasting menu. Unfortunately, we could only get a reservation in the front area where we couldn't order the tasting menu but it ended up being a good thing because as we began eating we noticed the chef, at the pass, continuously taste food with the same spoon. I couldn't believe my eyes, she would taste the food, put the spoon in a container with water and then take the same spoon for the next person's dish over and over again. We cancelled our dinner and went over to Alobar.

Each dish was a work of art, reflecting the chef's dedication to both flavor and presentation.Victoria 20 proved to be an exceptional setting for creating stunning visual memories. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to capture more unforgettable moments in this extraordinary space.

We went for the full tasting menu experience, and it was clear these folks know their way around seafood. The tuna, scallop and crab are now engraved in memory.The pairings were definitely a marker of success. Each dish had a wine that felt hand-picked to bring out all its best flavors.Definitely impressed.

I recently dined at 20 Victoria in Toronto, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The ambiance was exquisite, setting the perfect mood for a memorable meal. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes that surpassed my expectations in taste and presentation. Each bite was a journey of flavors, leaving me in awe of the culinary expertise behind the creations. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. If I were to choose a place for my last meal, 20 Victoria would undoubtedly be my top pick. It's a culinary gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. Also they printed a menu for our 25th anniversary on top which made something so simple so sweet.
Restaurant 20 Victoria has taken the seat at the top of my list for the best restaurants in Toronto. With a seafood heavy menu, they blended flavors that wowed me plate after plate. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the wine pairing added elevated notes to my dining experience.I highly recommend Restaurant 20 Victoria to anyone who's looking for the perfect meal. The atmosphere is intimate and the service is excellent. They serve the perfect amount of food where you question whether you can eat your dessert, but after one taste you clear the plate. You will not leave hungry.

They forgot to give us 1 course. We had the 4 course tasting menu and unfortunately, they forgot to give us the course with the cheese and crackers. The restaurant is quite small and we had to book a reservation ahead of time, so I was surprised that they forgot us.That aside, service wasn’t bad per se. The waiter who was managing our table was very kind and nice. However, we saw that other tables had a chef visit them to check in on quality and taste. I’m not sure if they were special guests of honour but the inconsistency in the service was quite obvious.The menu is very creative and I like how they rotate once in a while. It’s clear the chefs here are very talented but I wish that the service was a bit better, especially for a restaurant with a Michelin star.

How is this place Michelin, I went for dinner and the food was under seasoned, basic and completley forgetable. This place manages to be pretentious and not elegant enough all at the same time. Avoid this place, emperor has no clothes.
