Lengthy review.

Extremely disappointing experience for a “fine dining” restaurant. There were two other tables when we went, which we should have taken as a red flag. My date and I ordered the $65 set menu in addition to 6 Vancouver oysters. We both ordered the romaine salad, lobster bisque and foie gras, but both chose different mains, ordering the striploin and the lamb.

The salad and house welcome drink were fine. They served us orange juice with chopped canned peaches, which is lacklustre for the price point. The salad was an unchopped caeser. My problem with the salad was they served us our foie gras five minutes after our salad and oysters came out?? I didn’t even have time to finish before they brought it to us, which is strange for an upscale restaurant, but this isn’t even my worst complaint.

I had two oysters in the hopes that the second one would be better - it wasn’t. Both were old and fishy. We left the rest there.

The foie gras was actually even worse, it was oily and charred. There was no flavour aside from an unpleasant burn, and I gave mine to my date because I couldn’t get more than two bites in. It was served with an ugly salad, a cherry tomato cut in half and a pickle ???? Why was there a pickle next o my foie gras? The pickle was actually surprisingly the best thing I ate at the restaurant. Everything else sucked. I’m not even done.

They served our soup after the foie gras. It also was really terrible. I don’t know what was in there but it wasn’t lobster bisque. We left it there.

Now for the mains - both were served with mashed potatoes, another cherry tomato (?) and a slice of mushroom (???). The mashed potatoes tasted like they came from the powdered box mix, I don’t know if they puréed them to get them to such a mushy consistency but it was honestly really disgusting. They also fortunately left a piece of whole potato in my mash so that I could confirm that it was real potato: thank you chef. The single slice of mushroom they left on my mash was RAW. I’m just as confused as you are.

Now for the steak - both mine and the lamb had no flavour. It was very clearly not seasoned before cooking, which made for a very unpalatable and dull cut of steak. The cook was fine but didn’t save the taste. Both my date and I left three fourths of our dishes there. This is important for later.

Thankfully, at this point the server checked on us. We explained to him all of our complaints, and he went and checked in with the chef and the manager, only to come back out and tell us the management changed and maybe the style was more “Hong-Kong,” which is why we didn’t like it.

I am from Hong-Kong. I’m no stranger to their cuisine. The food was not more “Hong-Kong,” it just sucked. I was actually appalled they would even try to excuse the bad food by saying our palates aren’t used to a different kind of cuisine, to someone who was also used to that cuisine ???? Where are the critical thinking skills?

The worst part is we voiced all of our complaints, and not even the chef or manager came out to check on us or apologize for our experience. It was the same server (who was NOT the manager) who came back out to apologize and present us with our bill. We were charged the whole $160. Nothing was taken off; not even the oysters. No discount. We left most of the food on the plate, sent it all back to the kitchen so they definitely knew it was terrible, and we weren’t offered any kind of compensation. Absolutely ridiculous, I’m actually livid writing this review. It was a waste of time, money and even the effort it took for me to write this. The worst part is that all I can do now is post this and not go back there.

Don’t eat here. They didn’t care about us so they obviously won’t care about you.

This is not my first time coming to this place. Maybe oysters are not in season, east coast has no taste. Wine list is bad which is not helping the over creamy west coast oysters.

The steak was really tasteless and had no taste at all. It was just like duck breast. Just like the review said, you get paid without change.

Day and Night has been the go-to place for me and my husband when we want to have a good steak dinner. We love to order their $55 set menu which includes a welcome drink, a choice of appetizer, salad, soup, bread service, main entree, dessert and coffee/tea. This set dinner is totally value-for-money. Where would you be able to find a set menu with so many courses at that price and with a good quality in Toronto now? Tonight we also ordered their oysters which was currently buy 1 get 1 free as we ordered the set dinner. There was a minimum order of a set of 6 oysters though so we ended up having a dozen of oysters. The wait staff recommended us to get the PEI Lime oysters after talking to the chef and this proved to be a good recommendation. We like the proper size of the oysters and they were fresh and tasted good. The wait staff were busy as it did seem they were short staffed but we still received attentive and polite services. We will always come back on our date nights.

Honestly, I'm super impressed! The oysters were great, I preferred the Vancouver oysters over the PEI ones more because they were creamy and a bit sweet. Lobster bisque was yummy, not too salty. The steak was tender and tasty. I was very fond of the fettuccine I picked as my entrée. We went here for my mom's birthday so they gave us free yuzu cake that was very refreshing to a full stomach.

The service was absolutely lovely, we'll be back here again. 💖

I visited on Sept 2 with a party of 12. We made a reservation via phone. We arrived and were seated promptly though a few of us came in a bit later. Service was mostly accommodating, albeit very slow that night. We had a 5:45 reservation and by 8:15 we had just been told our dessert was arriving. If the restaurant was understaffed or restaurant was super busy, this could have been communicated to us, we would have been understanding. Majority of us ordered off a set menu but dishes were coming out very very slowly. Portions were also quite small. Assuming we ordered by 615 or so, it was 745 and we still did not have entrees. We had to follow up a couple of times. When food did arrive, my steak tasted off, the best way to describe it was skunky. I ordered medium rare and it came closer to blue. Not warm at all but it took so long to get there what I didn’t bother returning it because who knew how long it would take. While waiting for dessert, we asked for the bill and nowhere did it say that automatic gratuities are 15% for parties this size. I was not told this when reservation was made via phone. I was not told this when we were seated or when we asked for the bill. The server had the audacity to come back and ask for additional tip and even brought the manager over. I have no problem tipping when service is adequate or we are told of this ahead of time. Neither was done. In fact, they tried to justify a larger tip because “other western restaurants have automatic gratuities”. That’s what upset me the most, it was not even a valid reason. A tip is a reflection of the service/experience of the entire evening, all of which was sub par. As such we left feeling unsatisfied, and without dessert due to the horrible interaction at the end. I strongly suggest putting your money elsewhere.
