I spent many summer days on this patio this past summer and sought out Nomiki. This is one of the very few patios in Toronto with outstanding views and a great casual vibe. Nomiki provided the most outstanding service I’ve had in a long time. She’s personable, and offers great energy and conversation while serving guests. I grew to really adore her! Hope to see her next year!

What a shame to have such a beautiful location and not care at all about food or service. I had a bite of a clearly defrosted and then burnt pizza and when I tried to give feedback, I was told I was no longer welcome there. Our bill was $80 and although the pizzas (there were 2, both horrid) were not itemized it seems outrageous that the 2 beers and 2 shots we had came to that. No one even tried to be helpful, they actually just argued very aggressively. if I could give negative stars i would. Ghastly food with ghastlier service

I was here the day of the air show, the waitress was extremely friendly, I ordered a burger which was quite large and accompanied with potatoes, I recommend the pineapple smoothie, it is delicious, I will definitely return to this place ?‍↔️

Pay more, get less? No thanks. A friend and I dropped by here yesterday for lunch, based on positive past experiences. While the patio still had the chill vibe with comfy chairs and the service was amazing, unfortunately that's as good as it gets, and this is due to very disappointing menu changes. We discovered that the portion sizes had been severely reduced, while the prices had increased considerably, across the board. An order of calamari served on what was essentially a side plate, in terms of proportions, cost just under $20. So-called "upgrades" were not cheap, either. If you want to switch out fries for a basic garden salad, expect to pay almost $5 for the privilege. It's bad enough to encounter shrinkflation at the grocery store, especially in today's economy, and now it's happening here, too. Needless to say, we left feeling hungry and dissatisfied, and unless this restaurant makes the decision to produce good value for your money, the way it used to for so many years past, we just won't be back.

Came here with my mom after a long walk along the lakeshore to cool off. My mom is vegetarian so we had the strawberry pecan salad and the Mediterranean flatbread. Food is surprisingly good, but overpriced. The umbrellas don't turn or bend so if you need shade make sure to sit in the back of the restaurant. Our server Lauren was great. Really appreciated her helping us move to a shadier spot when it got too hot and for recommending the Mwxican bulldog cocktail. Definitely will come back for another one of those!

The coffeehouse is just amazing. The food? Is delicious, the atmosphere? Fabulous, the service? Outstanding, the beachfront experience? Breathtaking. This is a great cafe to escape from all the hassle in Toronto. It makes you feel in a mini vacation town. Highly recommended

Honestly very impressed. Came for the frozen cocktails (Miami Vices, anyone?), stayed for the service, wowed by the food!

Shared the Caribbean Flatbread and the Summer Salad w/ Chicken, equally impressed by both and SHOCKINGLY well cooked and seasoned chicken on the salad. ??

This restaurant does not have any gluten-free options. The waitress isn’t very educated. Also, the other issue with this place is everything is frozen. Their hamburgers are frozen and not handmade. The location is great, but unfortunately, this restaurant is horrible.. will Not go back

A very special place for us paddlers, this is our goto after our practice and the view couldn’t be more perfect! A few times we watched the moon rising from the lake and the view is to paddle for! The servers here are very nice and patience and they really know how to do their job. Price is okay as well and there is a paid parking close by.
