“In a restaurant world dressed up with disingenuous marketing JOEY Yorkdale offers you a magnificent spot outside downtown Toronto that delivers what it promises on their home page, “Our guests, new or old, are not treated just as guests, but as if they are a good friend we are catching up with.” And this was the experience for me and my two close chums who selected this spot primarily because it was the midpoint between our diverse locations. From first arriving, the hostess took the time to offer a complimentary champagne glass and inquire if our visit that day was for a special occasion. It was a reunion and she graciously followed up with pleasant comments establishing a charming mood. When the waitress came to greet us, she also took the time to find out more about the nature of our reunion and only then flawlessly delved into the menu. I understand this is common practice at luxury restaurants; however, I would contend that, although there are dining establishments that treat patrons similarly, it is not simply about what you do but, rather, how well you do it. And this is the reason I am taking the time to write this review: JOEY does it very well. Having frequented several luxury restaurants in downtown Toronto I can anecdotally share with you that there have been far too many occasions when the host and/or server left a poor impression. Whether it is conceited complacency in their brand or even our own bigotry of unrealistic expectations, there seldom is a meeting point of both food, service, and overall impression. The treatment at JOEY was so genuine that it left an indelible impression. Each interaction with the server and hostess throughout complemented our dining experience. We were then surprised with dessert on the house presented on an expansive serving plate with the words “Happy Reunion!” written in caramel. Delicious, delicious caramel. Mmmm, but I digress… Over the years I have written to restaurants far more complaints than compliments and, in retrospect, this is unfair. It takes a team and a culture to create this magic and it can be quite challenging to get it right. When it comes together as well as it did on our visit, it is the sort of joy that can accompany you throughout your day. At JOEY they seem to have captured the right formula and I look forward to returning and catching up with “good friends” that understand that going out to eat today is about so much more.“

“We had such a lovely dining experience at Pickle Barrel!.. The food was absolutely delicious!!! .. our steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to “LENY”our server, who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right from start to finish.

The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the service truly exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back soon ❤️❤️🥰🥰 thank you, Leny and the Pickle Barrel team, for a wonderful meal and great service!“

Highly recommend this location. It’s clean and the staff are wonderful and so is the food.“

“Our family attended Sunday lunch for a birthday celebration. It was not our first time here, and each and every time Hogans exceeds expectations! The two talented waiters that serviced our table went above and beyond. They were both equally kind, knowledgeable, experienced and offered outstanding service. The table setting was nothing less than exquisite! The chef…… I don’t know how he pulls it off each and every time! He must be magical! The food was delicious, beautiful presentation, and everyone was served at once. Anna, thank you once again for a beautiful experience all around! You and your team work wonders! 💗🙏“

Shout big out and Thank you to my server,Nia, his customer service was on par and excellent. Made sure that we got our meals on time and that everything was ok. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“I have put a note thas its my sisters birthday and i want candle on my dessert The dessert came w no candles, the table was not clean , the dised and sayces from th food was still on the table When i asked for a candle or at least a happy birthday note the server took our dessert away and came back and said sorry the kitchen is closing!! I told her i already mentioned in my reservation and she said sorry we didnt see So whats the point of reserving with Opentable if they dont pay attention to the notes? Over all dirty table w cake and no candles we couldnt even take any pictures. Not happy w the service“

“We truly enjoyed a leisurely lunch today at Kelsey's Richmond Hill. We need to give a lot of the credit and thanks to our server, Sarah, who was always there when we needed her. She provided us with some excellent suggestions for food and drinks as well as impeccable service coming from a warm and friendly person. While my wife was thoroughly enjoying a cup of tea and a hearty soup with salad and a sandwich, I was just beside myself with every bite of the mushroom melt burger. The burger and fries were prepared and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that you try this burger, especially if you love mushrooms. Treat yourself. I was also introduced to a delicious refreshing beer called Muskoka Pineapple Ninja. I've never seen it before and it appears that if I can't find anywhere else I'll have to go back. All in all, this was a perfect afternoon. Also, we have promised ourselves that we are going to do this again next week.“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service are all top tier. I am ADDICTED to their Smokey Gar Par wings. They are the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. 12/10 Would recommend.“

“Micah was the perfect server, who gave us ample time to enjoy our starters before digging into our mains. She also surprised us with a sparkler on top of our dessert to help us celebrate my son's 100K YouTube milestone! We will be back!“

“Everything was smooth and good! The server so friendly!“

“Came for their 8th anniversary party and this place is a vibe! Great atmosphere and music the entire night. I was served by a very lovely bartender named Sefra. She continuously checked on us throughout the night, and her amazing energy added to the event. Would definitely consider renting this place for events.“

“Amazing Interesting burger choices were so yummy and huge.“

“Gabby’s – Guildwood Village Shopping Centre Four of us visited Gabby’s in the Guildwood Village Shopping Centre yesterday for lunch. The restaurant opened last year, and this was our first time there. After seeing so many great reviews online, we decided to check it out. We were greeted right away and seated where we preferred. Our server, Sarah, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and helpful in guiding us with our drink choices. Between the four of us, we ordered: Chicken wings with fries Onion rings Garlic bread Buffalo chicken wrap with fries Braised beef stone-fired pizza Everyone agreed the food was excellent. I had the pizza, and it was sensational—the beef was tender and perfectly portioned, pairing beautifully with the onions and mushrooms. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, whether you’re enjoying a meal on the patio, dining indoors, or sitting at the bar surrounded by plenty of TVs. Service was impeccable. The washrooms were very clean, though they are located in the basement. If you’ve had a few drinks, you might prefer the accessible washroom on the main floor, as the stairs are steep. We all agreed we will definitely be back—there are so many other tempting menu items we want to try. The amazing service we received from Sarah made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Gabby’s!“

“KSushi is such a great hidden spot. I go with my girlfriend before archery practice, and it’s always amazing.
The sushi is fresh, delicious, and has that expert homemade touch you don’t find everywhere.
They have a great variety, and everything tastes spot on.
The staff are super kind, and the whole place has a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you love quality sushi and friendly service.“

“This café has always been one of my favourite places. It’s my little safe spot, and every visit feels warm because of the great food and the people who make the experience even better. Salute to the chef, consistently amazing.

I drove quite a distance this morning just to spend my early morning here. Breakfast was perfect, as always. The service today felt a bit different from what I’m used to, and that’s completely understandable. We all have days when we’re not at our best.

Just wanted to share my experience with my favorite café, because this place truly means a lot to me.“

“Was there Monday September 29th 2025 overall was a good experience wife and I both ordered the 11oz New York steak only thing I can say is 4 different waiters kept comming to see how the food was first time a female waiter came litterally as the plate was put infront of me I didn’t even have my fork in hand yet steak was way to salty and extremely over done with pepper aswell the waiter Mathew that was behind the bar was beyond amazing guy he even made sure he could help with a sealed dads rootbeer to take home to put on my shelf of dads stuff lol“

“We attended a work function here this past Sunday which was service for 12. With so much conversation and questions with regards to menu selections, drinks and variety of special requests surrounding food or side dishes the staff did amazing managing all of it. The primary server Dorsa was so attentive, patient and handled it all seamlessly with a smile on her face. Although this isn't a geographically convenient Milestones for me to frequent, I will say the service leaves me recommending it to anyone whom it is convenient for. I want to say thank you to all the staff for making it a great night and special thanks to Dorsa for her professional and positive approach.“

“After a surprisingly difficult morning, Wlgin Mills Sunset staff made our day. Despite being completely packed, we weee seared quickly. Friendly smiling staff weee hustling. Clearly a family business with two young but eager and happy busboys. Obviously owners kids. So friendly. Had a purpose. Nice to see kids socializing with adults and enjoying helping out. Cheers. Thanks.“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere.“

“Great times.:: Great Staff!!“

“The food here is consistently good. However, I’ve noticed that the quantity of side dishes, like home fries, tends to vary depending on the time of day. If you visit in the morning, you’ll get decent service and a good portion size, but after lunch, the side portions are noticeably smaller. The level of service can also vary depending on which staff member is serving that day.“

“It’s a fun place to go with friends:)“

“Very good wings and very very nice staff . I will come back“
