“Ivan is the greatest employee. So kind and respectful. He made the average new York fries experience feel like a luxury. By far the greatest worker that has ever served me. Ivan Novilunio proved that he truly cares about his job but most importantly the customers and the quality. If i were to trust anyone with my order, it would be Ivan Novilunio.”

“Great spot for a late night family dinner, tasty food and a cozy environment. We were served by Donna and she provided wonderful service, she was so sweet and attentive. Will definitely be back soon!”

“Got what we wanted! Tested a few new flavors, thanks to the kind staff, and finally picked two unique flavours which we didn't know ever existed. Clean and not much of rush here.Close to the bus stop. I wish the outlet had seating facility.They take orders for ice cream cakes but no delivery service.”

“Although I am vegetarian, I decided to go here for the Double Play. Got 2 small fries and small root beers before realizing that they had no stamps. So, had to buy large fries too. 😅 I like the old aesthetic of the place, not overwhelming and fast service. Plus the fries were nice and salty, so for the record you should come here at least once!

Vegetarian options: Rather limited.

Kid-friendliness: Ofc they have Happy Meals!!!!”

“A classic French restaurant with a great atmosphere and complimentary cocktails that taste unique.”

“First class from beginning to end. We were lucky to reserve seats at the chef’s bar and see the detail and care that goes in to every dish. Great chat, buzzing atmosphere and fantastic food. A memorable evening ❤️”

“From the moment we arrived, the team delivered warm, polished, and attentive service. The Wagyu was unbelievably tender and richly flavored; the lobster arrived fresh. Every course arrived at just the right pace, allowing us to fully enjoy each bite. Though elegant, the dining room felt inviting—not stuffy. Overall, the services and environment was much more impressive than the foods.”

“It’s a great experience. I enjoyed the ambiance as well as the food and service at this restaurant. The staff（Sunny and Sammantha） are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. I love this place and will continue to visit.”

“Very spicy, I feel like I lost two pounds after eating it lol😆”

“I came here for the second time with my partner during the dinner rush. Completely blew our expectations away!

We remember our first time eating here, with the food being decent but nothing crazy and the service was okay. However upon our second time visiting, our server, Bill Xu, was not only kind but went above and beyond to show us genuine hospitality. He was extremely patient with any questions we had and checked in with us often.

The food was delicious with the marbled beef being my favorite item that night. There are a variety of items you can choose from with the selection being quite large. Both sweet and savoury items were quite tasty so you can't really go wrong.

Lastly, I take the cleanliness of washrooms very seriously. I have to say that I was very impressed upon walking into the washroom. Not only was the design of the washroom itself modern and elegant, but it was very apparent that the staff does check their washrooms. It was pretty clean and there were several free amenities offered (toothpicks, floss, mouthwash). Overall, I was speechless to discover a really good washroom experience in a city full of awful and disgusting washrooms.

While the bill can be expensive by the end, the service and quality of the food was top-notch. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely be coming again.”

“Im not sure where to start on this review.

Well to say the least, it took me about 2 weeks to decide on a place to eat. My decision did not let me down. I chose this place because of the connection the Chef had to the food.

Ive traveled all around and have been to many fine restaurants and places to eat. To compare this restaurant to others, well you cannot.

If you have ever been to Montana or Wyoming, you know that you cannot describe the views. The art you get at Lucies, is comparable to the views you see. You cannot put it into words.

The service itself was as you would expect, amazing. The staff is knowledgeable about every dish that is presented to you.

What the chef, the staff, and the amazing mixologist does for you; is to say the least an art within itself.

Now I am not very good at taking pictures, but pictures would not do the dishes or drink justice anyway. For some reason google would not let me post pictures.”

“Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy environment. Definitely recommend their food especially butter chicken and malai chicken tikka. Love this place.❤️”

“This is our first time ever for a Chinese hot pot and we’re very happy and satisfied with the food and service. The server who was attending us was super patient as e knew nothing about the cuisine 🫣 we’ll visit again for sure

Vegetarian options: They have a variety for vegetarians as well”

“2nd time at the restaurant and the food was just amazing!! We were a bit confused on a few items but Sarita made some excellent recommendations. We had a great experience and I can't wait to come back here again!”

“Man, we hit up this awesome seafood spot for dinner, and it was a vibe! The Branzino Crudo was straight-up fire—so fresh, with those crispy shishito peppers and a pop of sourness from the pomelo that just tied it all together. We also dug the caraflex; it’s got this killer crunchy texture and plays so well with the cabbage.
We went all in and ordered all three pastas. My fave was the Casarecce—super chewy noodles, and the saffron with mussels? Next-level delicious. The Caramelle was wild, like no pasta shape I’ve ever seen, and the lemon zest really cuts through the richness of the ricotta.
For the main course, the trout was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and those almonds with the sauce? Perfection. The beef brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth, and the radish and grits were the perfect match.
The place had such a great atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Very goid service”

10/10 recommend. This is hands down our go-to spot for Sichuan food in the GTA. We’ve tried most of the dishes on the menu over time and loved every single one. Everything is super flavorful and satisfying. Just a heads-up—it’s not shy with the spice!”

“Delicious hotpot with fresh ingredients and a wide variety of options. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal！”

“A Wonderful Birthday Experience at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine We had the pleasure of dining at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine last night to celebrate my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy autumn charm that made the evening feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing waitress, Eda, who made the night extraordinary. Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm personality created such a welcoming experience. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and even helped my husband organize a lovely surprise for me, which was the highlight of the evening! The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a delightful combination of authentic Turkish flavors and elegant presentation. From the rich appetizers to the decadent desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. Thank you, Eda, and the entire team at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine, for making my birthday celebration so memorable. Your impeccable service, delicious food, and thoughtfulness will not be forgotten. We can’t wait to return and will certainly recommend your restaurant to all our friends and family. Sincerely, Sabina”

“Ate fish sticks. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The milk shakes are awesome especially the Rum chocolate milk shake. Staff is very courteous. Bartender was making some interesting cocktails. Will try next time.”

“great food and cocktails- love the sangria! cozy ambience!”

“Incredible. Let's just start out with the vibe. Immaculate lighting and interior, like an old library/bar with an almost romantic woodsy feel.

The service was great, attentive, all of it.

Where this place made my day, was the food. The lamb ribs were one of the best bites of food I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, everything else was fantastic, but the lamb ribs BLEW my mind.

Order 2 of them.”
