Came here twice for brunch. Both times. A wonderful experience. Very quaint interior decor. Pretty tight seating. Dec 2024: had raspberry cocktail (home made), Charlotte smoked Benedict

We had dinner at this café and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere, though the tables were a bit too close together. The drink selection was impressive, and the menu offered a wide variety of options. They also had a special offer on bottled drinks, which was a nice touch. So we had a bottle of Shiraz red wine, and we started with poutine as an appetizer—both were excellent. For the main course, we had lasagna and a Greek salad, both of which were of good quality.

Nice Old Toronto bar type feeling. I wish the upper floors were open when I visited. I enjoyed all the food, it was all fresh. The menu wasn't too complicated. For price to food- the poutine was my tables favorite. Only 12$ for such a large portion! The gravy and cheese were perfect. The bruschetta was awesome, tasted very fresh and honestly it was a lot to have alone. Id recommend splitting the app to leave room for the main. Also had a couple sandwiches, that were great but a little bit over toasted. I personally would not recommend the Grilled Cheese, as it felt like cheap square cheese on wonder bread. Other wise all the food was great, especially the pesto stuff 🤤

Love it here! Came here on a Tuesday around 11 and stayed until 4am. They let you study if they’re not busy and if you continue ordering snacks and drinks. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Theres two levels which is cozy but not very spacious. Upstairs is really beautiful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Only mistake is that I ordered a warm apple cider since it’s fall season but they gave me the alcoholic one in a can, I tried asking for the warm one but they looked confused.

We stumbled across this place trying to get out of the rain and were delighted by the vibe, and the food was delicious. Great staff and a Toronto classic, having been around for 29 plus years. We dined on the main floor and were curious to see the other floors but didn’t head up stairs. Clean bathrooms, the coffee was great and the desserts looked incredible.

I've been here a few times and the experience is always pretty good. The food and drinks are delicious and the wait to receive them after ordering is pretty quick. The staff are nice and helpful, it just takes a while to flag one down. I'll definitely visit again and this is a place I recommend.

Live jazz music on their second floor, and a heated patio. Polite staff, good ambiance, we only had drinks which were good no comment for food.

Expect mediocre food but the dining atmosphere was great. Might be better when there’s live music or if you’re here to grab some drinks, rather than expecting a nice meal. We went for lunch during a weekday. It was not busy and we were seated fairly quickly. We did have to walk up a staircase to access the patio and it can be challenging for some. The service was great and the staff were professional. Our food came out at a reasonable time and water was served in jugs to the table. However, the food was very mediocre, way too heavily seasoned(at least for my chowder), and the portion runs on the smaller end.

Came here with a friend for a casual dinner and this place did not disappoint! Toughest part was walking up a flight of stairs but after that, you've found yourself on a nice spacious rooftop patio complete with a bar and ample TV screens for sports fans. Ordered the the Smoked Pork Chop grilled with maple BBQ sauce (with fries and coleslaw). My buddy got the Chicken Strips (with fries). The Pork Chop was tender and meaty while that maple BBQ sauce imparted such an addictive sweet & savoury flavour to the dish. The Chicken Strips were good too, nicely battered and crispy without being dry on the inside. Fries and salad were also good. Service was prompt and friendly. Overall, highly recommend this place to all! 5/5.

I had my graduation party at The Pilot over the weekend and I was so impressed! The food and the drinks were delicious and the staff were so attentive. When planning my party with the event staff they were very accommodating and helpful. I had various allergies in my party and everything ran very smoothly. The atmosphere was also very lively. I would definitely recommend hosting your events at The Pilot!

AYCE Korean BBQ. Good price but not authentic Korean style. The kimchi was not very good and very limited bunchan (side dishes). Missing some essential items such as sesame oil, soybean sauce and raw garlic. The survey we had within our group indicated that no one wanted to return for the BBQ again.

We love this place. We go there all the time! they took good care of us on rotchys birthday. they let us in after hours and took care of myself rotchy and all the kids including niece and nephew.. 9 of us in total they treated us so well. rotchie was so happy that she got to eat there for her birthday after a long night out with myself and the kids.. she was ecstatic.. if she's happy I'm happy

First time ever trying Korean BBQ and picked this place to try out. Food was amazing and the service was excellent too. The All You Can Ear BBQ is great value and my personal favorite was the beef short ribs. The included mango ice cream at the end was a nice bonus too. Will definitely come back to try again with a larger group of people!

140$ for two people to eat (all you can eat) and share ONE drink. Honestly, this place could look better(in terms of cleanliness and interior, + plastic cups are absolute joke, they tasted funky) and have bigger selection for the price per person, but staff was friendly and always making sure plates don’t stay on the table, stars just for that. And as other people said, tips are included in the price. Better suggestion for the same prices if you’re wondering : Shinta. Very luxury place and very big selection.
Alice Ferguson - 4 months ago

Nice place for a barbecue time! From outside it looks small, however there is plenty of space for everyone! We tried all you can eat option which is approximately $36 per person and you can have unlimited meat, fish, side dishes and vegetables. You are ordering through your phone scanning QR code on the table. It is a bit confusing , however after first time we got used to it. The service is fast and friendly! The location is perfect as it is near Bloor station.

Great service from Farah as always! She reminded my friend about the beer specials and the service was quick but not intrusive which I love. Also, I forgot how great the Jack’s nachos are. I highly recommend this location and I will be back.

We ordered the following on Ubereats: - Chicken fingers (yum!) - Fresh baked garlic pan bread (this was just okay. Not really great obviously delivery or when warmed up. Becomes quite dry. Not a fan) - Garlic cajun salmon (delicious!)
hazariah siti - 3 months ago

Good location - Very convenient from TTC and close to Toronto public library. Bruscheta, Chicken fingers, Thai chicken curry bowl, Pad Thai noodles bowl, Vegie burger with Sweet potato fries are really good. Fish bowl is must try and relaxing. Richard's red and Belgian wheat Beers are great on Taps. Staff is helpful and service is good. Car parking is difficult.

Hands down this is our favourite goto place in neighborhood when we feel like "lets get fancy and funky at the same time". They make such good steak for a good price in a bustling location. With $100 bucks before tax+tip for a couple we get steaks and drinks to fill us up. This location next to bloor-yonge station is huge and not so crowded. But the last time it was packed and also their beer tap was broken. Still our server Maj made sure we get the best out of the evening and we had a wonderful meal with their holiday season special meal. The sauce on top of the steak had some shrimps. But it was hard to find any bits of crabmeat and lobster as the menu suggested. For a $45 meal, this is something they need to improve. Otherwise, food quality was excellent as usual.

I went here with friends for lunch. The location was just a step away from bloor and yonge station. I’ve been craving for steak for long time and I didn’t have any idea that this restaurant which was near to my work place, served one. I picked “The Memphis” medium rare with iced mango mint. It was delicious and I was very satisfied with the serving. The restaurant was perfectly designed. Definitely, it’s a great place for dine in with friends. If you wanna chill out after work before going home or just wanna treat yourself, I will recommend this lovely place. The staff were friendly and approachable too. Shout out to Justine ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

If you’re searching for a great spot to start your day, Sunset Grill delivers a satisfying breakfast experience. Their menu features all the classics: fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and a variety of fresh, customizable omelets. The ambiance strikes a balance between cozy and casual, making it a great spot for solo diners, families, or groups of friends. The service is quick and friendly, with staff who are attentive without being intrusive.

I had an amazing experience, the food was exceptional fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch; both the server and the manager went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the evening truly special. I also appreciated that they offered halal options, which made it inclusive and accommodating for everyone in our group. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

A must-visit for breakfast! The eggs Florantine were amazing, and the freshly squeezed orange juice went well with our order. The staff was super friendly too. Definitely recommend it!

An OK place for some quick breakfast, food quality is a bit of to a lower standards since bacons are dry and overly cooked, 3 eggs looked 1-1/2 compare to a better restaurant Service and decor is nice

The food was absolutely incredible. The sweet and sour chicken was the best I’ve ever had. They even gave us free dessert!! Can’t wait to go back

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Pieces of braised pork belly, with an attractive layering of melt-in-your-mouth fat and fall-apart tender meat bursts with a sweet soy ginger broth that can easily make pork or rice disappear, especially when you mix that sauce with it. Lovers of black pepper will be thoroughly satisfied with the potency of each bite of beef, stir-fried with a combo of onions, bell peppers and mushrooms.
Bredgy L. - a month ago

I am confused as to why this particular location has received such low ratings. My experience there was very positive and the service was quick and efficient. The salt and pepper chicken I ordered was cooked to perfection - it was crispy on the outside and still moist inside. Also, the black pepper beef was cooked perfectly, medium well and very juicy. I particularly enjoyed the Lee Chen Fried Rice, which was delicious. Lastly, the dumplings were just as good as the best dumpling restaurant “Juicy Dumplings”. Now where Lee Chen suffers is the portion. The quantity doesn't reflect the price. But overall great place to dine.

Good Chinese restaurant all round. Food quality, service as well as atmosphere are all on par. Most of the dishes we chose were the ones with more natural flavour instead of spicy ones. They all came as expected. Savory tofu soup was particularly good & quite special.
Lorna W - 6 months ago

The food at Lee Chen is always delicious! We usually get the soup dumplings, smashed cucumber salad and braised pork belly. The staff are always exceptional and friendly! Special shout out to Carmen, she makes all guests feel welcome and has wonderful recommendations. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

We ordered a large pizza with two toppings here. Bread is a pro Crust, toppings are good enough. Thanks for Crew
Meysam Emily - 3 weeks ago

First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised! Crust is thin (which I prefer) and the toppings are generous (almost the whole pizza was covered with the 3 toppings I ordered). I think this is my new regular pizza spot - good quality food and fair pricing. Cheers!

Mamma's pizza at Bloor is back and how!!!! Finally some good old authentic pizzas in the heart of downtown. Fantastic location, great service and even better taste. We had a chance to try some of their pizzas, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and we were mind blown by how good they were! I am sure we'll keep coming back to this pizza place more than ever.

Reasonable price for downtown area. Bright and nicely decor dinning room. Could have clean the dinning area better, saw stain on the wall. Washroom is clean. Complimentary bread and butter. Food came quickly and hot. Cocktails are ok, the white sangria is way too sweet and off balanced. Burger is decent and definitely filling. Server did check on us regularly but sometimes making jokes that we find it a bit awkward.

Came here for happy hour with my family and the service and food was amazing! Their happy hour menu items range from $5 to $20 so we ordered their entire happy hour menu! We especially loved the korean fired chicken, shishito peppers and prime rib sliders. We also love that they have a kids menu and were very accommodating and patient with my little nephews. Overall, a great lunch experience at Holt's Cafe :)
Linda Le - 5 months ago

We had the Guerlain Honey afternoon tea, and everything was absolutely amazing. As avid afternoon tea seekers, we risk saying this was one of the best we've ever had. The scones were especially baked to perfection, and the entire experience was delightful. We will definitely be coming back to try the traditional one next time!

Stopped by for a quick coffee while I was shopping. It was almost lunch hour and the place was bustling. I opted for a dessert. Coffee came in fast, while I had to wait to finish my coffee for the dessert to come. Lemon meringue pie was heavenly, served with raspberry sorbet on a bed of raspberry coulis. Was worth every bite, Nathalia who helped me with my order was kind and efficient, while I understand the delay in food was not her fault. Great experience overall!
Amber Hasan - 6 months ago

I recently visited this restaurant for afternoon tea and brunch, and I have to say, I was quite disappointed, especially considering the price. I expected a lot more in terms of quality and presentation. The parfait, in particular, was the worst part—it looked and tasted like something I could make in 30 seconds at home! There was nothing appealing or special about it at all. As for the tower they served for the afternoon tea, it felt overpriced for what was offered. Overall, it was well below my expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a premium experience.

I ordered the chicken & shrimp combo and paid at the register. I watched as the chef prepared me meal and noticed the cashier whisper something to the chef. She must've charged me the incorrect amount because when I turned my back the chef intentionally hid the shrimp from view and then lied to me saying that they didn't know I wanted the chicken and shimp combo and only served me chicken. I accepted the order and pretended I didn't see him cook and then hide the shrimp. I used to go there all the time but now I see they are not trustworthy and operate in bad faith. I would not recommend anybody eat here. There are better options in the area
Rohan Chong - 2 years ago

Alright food but be careful they might do scams here? They added 2 goyza dumplings to my dish even though those don’t come included by default I don’t think and I didn’t ask for them and that bumped up my order I’m pretty sure, not sure if it was a misunderstanding or a sneaky tactic (my price seemed a bit high but I didn’t ask for receipt and didn’t bother to clarify with them)

My first time here, definitely unforgettable experience. I was scared and feel uncomfortable at first because I wasn’t expect that dark, but i get used to it after Ali - my waiter was incredibly friendly, attentive, the service was excellent. Highly recommend, must try at least once in your lifetime
Jess - 3 months ago

This is a unique experience if you are looking forward to have dinner while enhancing your senses. Eating in the darks will allow you to perceive the flavors in a new different way. Trying surprise dishes and drinks it’s also recommended to fully take advantage of this experience. I totally recommend it.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Onoir Restaurant in Toronto multiple times over the past decade, and each visit has been a truly exceptional experience. The food is consistently fantastic, What truly sets O.Noir apart is its unique dining experience. The restaurant's innovative approach to blind dining is both fascinating and enlightening, allowing you to reconnect with your senses and experience food in a whole new way.. The staff are always attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming, making every meal feel like a special occasion. And the best part? Despite the high quality of the cuisine and service, Onoir remains extremely affordable. Whether you're a longtime fan like me or just looking to try something new, Onoir is an absolute must-visit destination for any food lover in Toronto.

Our server Ali did an outstanding job. He was Efficient, made us all feel comfortable, safe, he was kind and helpful. Ali made this experience truly memorable. He talked us through each part of the service, from guiding us into the dining room to serving all of our drinks and meal courses. Thank you Ali and staff. Excellent customer service.

We had a unique and wonderful experience at ONoir. We ordered a surprise starter, as well as surprise main, and let the staff know that we don't have any allergies and are non-vegetarian. (If you do have any dietary restrictions, they will take them into consideration.) We received two different appetizers and two different mains, and had a lot of fun trying all of them, and figuring out what was on the plate. We guessed some, but not all! It was all delicious though. The food is great; the atmosphere is cosy. The staff are welcoming and attentive. Our server was lovely as well. We had a great time! Will come back gladly. Thanks ONoir!!
