Always been a huge fan and still am. The food and service were top notch but the manager playing on his laptop in the dining room definitely detracted from the ambiance. Would have stayed at 5 stars if not for that.
My favorite place since 1997.

This is one of my parent’s fav restaurants, so I had dinner here with my family a few days ago. The service was great and the food also. They even made a few changes for my mom’s dish (as requested) at no extra cost.

Went with friends celebrating a birthday. Food was amazing from apps to mains & the service was great! Would recommend for large groups as we were 10+ people!

Very disappointed that, after having my reservation on their books for two months, they call me to cancel it because they decided to take holidays! Beware and always have a back up plan, especially if it's for a special occasion or you're traveling from four hours out of town. Unavailable and unacceptable!
Spencer and his team do a great job. Food and service are always excellent. We have been going here for at least 25 years, it's always a great experience. It's been quite some time since Spencer has taken over and he has made some changes and they have all been to improve the quality, which was already good under Lino.

First time here and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Service was friendly without being overbearing. Definitely coming back.
We have long been loyal Cook Shop customers and I am writing this review as we recently ordered a take-out catered dinner for ten people and it was outstanding from start to finish!
The entire process was smooth — from placing the order and the excellent recommendations to the thoughtful packaging that made serving at home so easy.
Every dish was fresh, flavourful, and hot as if we were eating at their charming and intimate restaurant. Our guests could not stop raving about the quality and generous portions, from their signature caesar salad to the Orechetti a La Sausice with rapini. We also served Chicken Lemonata paired with mushrooms and it was perfection on a plate. Their tiramisu served as an outstanding finish to an already exceptional meal. My guests were asking the ingredients in every dish as the flavours were spectacular.
The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. It is evident they take great pride in both their culinary quality and customer service.
It had not crossed our minds to use this incredible restaurant for catering, and we are so glad we did. For me, The Cook Shop delivers a dining experience worthy of Michelin Star recognition. I highly recommend The Cook Shop for anyone looking for a stress-free, delicious catering option. They will be catering all of my future dinner parties.

If I could rate our dining experience at The Cook Shop a 10/5, I would. 5/5 just isn’t enough. Our server, Carlos Jr. was so kind and attentive. The food was phenomenal. I don’t have one bad thing to say. If you go, ask for Carlos Jr as your server, he truly made the experience!
Great spot. Been a couple of times and will go back!
My partner and I are huge fans of beef tartare. We haven’t been to The Cook’s Shop in a while and found out they have beef tartare on their menu! We decided to go check it out! We ordered the beef tartare, angus beef scaloppine piccata with risotto and angus beef ribeye steak with mash potatoes. The beef tartare was the bomb dot com. It was amazing and we felt like we were in beef tartare heaven! Such a generous portion too! We’ve been to numerous places in the last few months trying beef tartare from different restaurants. This place had the best beef tartare we’ve ever had! This blows the beef tartare that we had in Montreal out of the water. It has a nice tangy acidic flavour and it comes with toasted bread. The smokiness from the bread was a really nice addition to the flavour. I got the angus beef scaloppine piccata sautéed with butter, lemon and mushrooms which was cooked to perfection. A very flavourful risotto and seasonal vegetables accompanied the meal. I really enjoyed it! The tenderloin was so juicy! My partner got the ribeye angus beef steak which came with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. He also really enjoyed it as well! Nice and char on the outside, nice, juicy and tender on the inside. Again, it was cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes were soooo delicious! Last but not least, the service was phenomenal. Our server was very attentive and a great conversationalist! The owner’s dad even came our table to make sure our food was okay! Both made sure we were content with our meals. We will definitely be back! 😊
From the service to the food everything was amazing, honestly the best Beef Tartare I've ever had and I've tried many!
A must have when in town! I go out of my way to eat here every time I am in town or passing by the area. The ambiance of the place is amazing, and the food!! It is the best food I have ever eaten. From the table bread to the dessert, hands down the best spot around.
