Amazing food and amazing service, can’t get better than that! We had reservations for a Saturday night and it was super busy, great ambiance! We got a high top table at the bar which it was perfect! Our food was very tasty, steak cooked perfect! Thanks to Sal for such amazing service, going above and beyond for us!

Amazing private venue! Elegant and quaint environment with delicious food! The dishes were incredible! Even the croutons on the Caesar salad melted in your mouth with delight! Too much food so we took home to-go-containers. Great place to celebrate with friend and family for birthdays and occasions!

I very much enjoyed the filet mignon, i had it medium rare and it was cooked just right, and super juicy and tender. I also really liked their fries - thin, crispy, salted perfectly, and not greasy at all. Appetizer salad was fresh and came with a fair amount of blue cheese and that paired well with the light dressing. My only complaint was that I ordered a cheesecake dessert and it tasted like a store bought frozen one, so i would skip that item on the menu.

Our server was absolutely amazing and the highlight of my experience. I thought the food was good, but it wasn’t exceptional like I was expecting to be honest. FOOD- I felt there was a nice variety on the menu. My steak was cooked to perfection temperature-wise and extremely tender, but the flavor was lacking in my opinion. ATMOSPHERE- A bit noisy, but I’m sure that just depends on time/day. I went around dinner time on a Friday. I had high expectations and but overall the experience was wonderful and the service made even better. I would be willing to try again next time I’m in Toronto.

Fantastic. I was not awarebthat Toronto had a Mortons! This is the 2nd Mortons I've dined in in Canada then, the other one being the erstwhile Vancouver location. I have also dined at Mortons in Seattle, Chicago, and Portland Oregon. This location ngl had the best ambiance. Check out the picture of the ceiling light, quite a sight. The wine rack has aura. Our table ordered a 22 oz bone in, a NY steak, a chicken dish, French onion soup, and crab cakes. All exceeded expectations. Update: I've tried many other steaks here in future visits. The prime rib hear is royal-level. The server brought me the raw cut of meat to confirm it would meet my expectations which was nice. I do miss the days when they had a full blown live menu and would bring it to the table. Dress code here is business casual, but I'm thankful to Mortons that they allow me to dine in street casual. I wore my fuzzy tuque and they were nonefheless hapoy to give me A+ service at reception and at the table. I like this about Mortons, they are inclusive and accommodating in spite of their express dress code. And the Mortons dining crowd is generally accomodating of departures from the dress code. Prices are reasonable. $20 for that French onion soup and $98 for such a big juicy steak and first class service is a steal.

We made a reservation for Friday lunch on the patio to make the most of last days of summer and patio season. We were seated very close to the bar and we could see everything coming out of the downstairs kitchen and being served to other customers; everything looked so delicious. We ordered “Thai Chicken Salad”. The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was very delicious. The service is fast and staff are friendly. Parking could be a challenge here, but it’s perfectly accessible through subway.

They have a nice rooftop patio/bar that's great for date nights or hanging out with friends. The food was not bad although it's your standard pub/bar fare. The fish and chips were crispy and the fries were like Costco fries (yum), and the portions are actually huge. Service wasn't bad either but sometimes quite hard to flag down our server since she was always busy making drinks at the bar too. Definitely a cool place to go to, and I'm glad I tried, but probably not for me again!

We had a terrific time on the rooftop patio. Service was terrific, I really enjoyed my avocado peach salad, my partner enjoyed his clubhouse sandwich but it could have used a bit more lettuce and tomato. All in all a nice place to spend a warm summer afternoon!
Suzanne MG - 4 months ago

Great fish and chips that had a very tasty big piece of fish. I had the butter chicken with rice and although the sauce was very good, the chicken pieces were very dry. I had to cut in small bites and run through the sauce in order not to choke. Also had to request more rice but was given white rice instead of basmati 🤷‍♂️ I would come back to be on the rooftop again, but definitely go to an Indian restaurant next time.

We had a great time at this restaurant! The chicken fajitas were delicious, with tender meat and perfectly seasoned vegetables. The pitcher of beer was a great complement, cold and refreshing. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because the service was a bit slow, but overall, it was a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back for more fajitas and beer!

Next to the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario), the Gardiner Museum is at the top of my list in my books. They have well curated permanent and special exhibits that are interesting and awe inspiring. Even the building architecture is gorgeous with its modern cubic contours situated between heritage buildings. I went end of May 2024 and they had a special exhibit on local and International ceramicists. Beautiful pieces, delicate works of art. Sometimes they have talks by visiting professionals and experts which are wonderful, many topics to stimulate the mind and satiate the enthusiasm for art information. They have a stunning dining and patio area at the rooftop. Highly recommend paying a visit to this museum when they open in October 2024z

Easily the best museum in Toronto. Collection is dynamic (all colors and shapes of ceramics), surprising (a porcelain monkey orchestra??), and emphasizes the Canadian while representing the world. Temporary exhibits are always fantastic, and the building's design is modern, elegant, and full of light (all without mentioning excellent city views from the upper deck).

It’s a great museum to visit in the center of the city! Very well presented. You can discover the history of ceramics.

I had the pleasure of creating a flower installation for a wedding client with my business The Moody Blooms last summer. The operations staff were super helpful and loading in was relatively easy. The spaces available for a private function are filled with natural light and the decor/ furniture has a contemporary feel. This was my favorite venue to flower in the city. Thanks for having us! There is a elevator to access the restaurant space on the second floor. I also had a vendor meal during this lovely wedding and it was delicious.
Katie Flohr - 9 months ago

I enjoyed the second floor more than the first floor. The exhibits on the first floor was a bit all over the place. The exhibits in the middle of the room had all the items' description on the left hand side, so you'd be breaking your neck looking back and forth to see the item being described. Some displays are placed waaaay too low on the bottom. The second floor was better organized, better lit, and more interesting (imo). Their website wouldn't let me buy a ticket (clicking on I agree to the terms wouldn't register), so had to go and buy it in person but at least I can get a Presto discount. The floors could've been cleaner and I saw the occasional fingerprints on the glass displays (this was during a working day so not much foot traffic). All that said, it was fun and informative to take in the historical tidbits about Chinese/Japanese/European ceramics/porcelains. You can easily spend above 2 hours if you take your time reading.

This is a great little spot in the heart of Yorkville. It was easy to get a reservation. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating when I showed up 1.5 hours ahead of the reservation. Menu selection was sufficient. The best part of this restaurant was their food. Service was fast and efficient. Bottomless fresh bread for the super hangry. All 3 italian dishes we ordered were so delicious. I looooooved the Funghi Risotto. I would order that again and again and even order for take out. My companions (who are super picky) also loved their dishes. Great value. Just a little over $100 for 3 people but we didn't have any drinks. It's an intimate little rustic cave like ambiance but very casual and the servers were all very friendly.

Not the best food experience. We had pizza and pasta here. Pizza dough and toppings were disappointing. Pasta was ok but missed depth in flavour and a certain freshness. Waiters were friendly and correct, but seemed done with the evening. The bread we were served was chewy and old/dried out.
Mac Maccer - 6 months ago

Two of us went there later on in the evening. It was busy, but there were seating. Service was efficient. My pizza and shared salade was good.
Bob Lo - 3 weeks ago

Great Italian place to visit for good food. I ordered the gnocchi and LOVED it. Their desserts are also very yummy. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we went at around 6pm on a Monday. One star off because their toilets were kind of gross and neglected. But that could've been a one time thing.

Best Gelato 2022, really, I'm a believer. One small table and 2 chairs so plan on eating your gelato on the run Their pistachio flavor was intense; like drowning in a sea of pistachio nuts. Pistachio ice cream in the past was always weak in flavor and disappointing, however, this one has given me hope for humanity. Their lemon sorbet was refreshing and intense. Both flavor textures were creamy and silky. Thank God I don't live close to this place or I would be auditioning for The 600lb life tv show.

The fruit flavours were too sweet for my taste, especially the watermelon. I recommend pairing a fruit flavour with something else like the mascarpone to make it less sweet. I do appreciate the fact that the pear, peach, watermelon, berries tasted strongly like their respective fruit.

Me and my group went on friday night. The place was small but had great great selection of gelatos !! Staff was super friendly and working so hard. We tasted a few and they were all so great. Fig, peach, pistachio and black sesame (recommended by the staff) was my favourites! We had 4 scoops cup and it was worth the money. I wish they renovate this place better so it’s more engaging and looks like a gelato shop. The vibe was more like a quick pizza take out shop.
Sugafull 27 - 8 months ago

the pistachio definitely the most memorable flavour, overall a decent gelato. the texture is quite creamy / however it melts quickly. I was not disappointed with my cup but it cannot compete with mizzica, however if you’re in this side of town, I recommend you choose this spot for good quality gelato. the space could use a rebrand as it’s quite dated considering it’s in yorkville.

Pretty good gelato, They have a lot of vegan flavours, but I find they sometimes have an artificial/too sweet taste to them, though it’s pretty slight. Most are delicious!! So definitely worth trying!

Celebrated my anniversary here and had Thomas as our server. He was wonderful and treated us very kindly. I was surprised that there was only actually 1 jumbo shrimp but it was yummy along with the risotto it was served with. The steak was cooked a bit over my asking, but not too much. The louvre was a unique and tasty dessert as well. I would come here again. :)

My sister and I just visited Proof Bar for our first time Monday (September 23) evening and had Jamie as our server and really enjoyed out time and our cocktails! I had the basil/blackberry gin smash which was to die for! Jamie was great to chat with and we all had some great laughs. Will be back next time we visit Toronto! Thanks for the great experience :)

We enjoyed our time sitting outside in the evening. You can see the stars. Food was good, service amazing. Good list of drinks too. Even a kids menu. The whole family enjoyed themselves. I recommend the pistachio mousse for desert.

Under radar lounge bar connected to a hotel with a great ambience and service. We recommend their chocolate cake which was a generous portion while being extremely tasty. Prices are also reasonable for a nice spot in the upscale Yorkville neighborhood.

Great McDonald's right behind the ROM. It was busy when we went, but the self-serve kiosks saved a lot of time. Staff was friendly and food was fresh. My son was amused he could only get 5 packets of ketchup with our order 🤣

We came on Saturday for a quick lunch. We ordered twice with the mobile app. Everything was ready promptly, and the food was good. It's a bit crowded, but that's expected in front of the ROM.
Doron Yakovlev-Golani - 6 months ago

This McDonald's was busy during the lunch rush, yet customers appeared to be receiving their orders promptly. The restaurant was clean and seemingly spotless, despite the high foot traffic. The staff seemed happy and genuinely enjoyed working at this location. I ordered a Medium Fries with no salt and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap, both of which met expectations. Its proximity to the ROM is another positive aspect.

I've been here many many times, food is always good esp. the fries!! The vibe here is mediterranean? , i like how the restaurant has this unique concept/theme throughout, in its menu and display. Today our food was served late and when it came out there was a hair on the salad, but they replaced it with a new one. It does get busy on the weekends, so you need to be patient for your food to be served!

Came by for brunch on Father’s Day. We ordered the Reyna salad, lamb shank Benny, salmon board and Greek fries. The food was generally okay, but something I noticed is the hot food arrived a little lukewarm. The cold dishes also weren’t as flavourful as we would have liked. (I’ve previously been here recently for dinner and recall that being pretty delicious. So, I wonder if it’s just the brunch items needing some work.) The food aside, the back patio was very comfortable and the table service excellent. I booked a reservation expecting a crowd based on past experiences, but the restaurant was surprisingly empty for a weekend brunch.

First time visiting here and had a decent time. Service was okay, but can be spotty (e.g., water not being refilled almost throughout the whole stay, server not available for long periods, etc.). In general, the food is good, but also some things that didn’t make sense to me. The octopus had a good cook to it, but was too salty for my taste. Not sure if it’s seasoned twice in the cooking process and the combined sodium is just too much in the end if you take in the other components also of the dish. The crudo was nice and light, but I found that the squid ink chips didn’t really add much to the dish. It’s a very subtle taste and I don’t particularly think the texture (specially with how large these chips are) was necessary. Wondering if a contrast in texture could simply be added into the crudo itself. Fries were good. Had a good taste, and was nice to snack on. Does get cold pretty quick considering the thin cut which puts a bit of a timer on that. The pide was overwhelming to me with that sauce which just tasted like it was doused in mayo.

I love love love the patio here! I went for the first time last week and the happy hour was amazing, I really couldn’t believe how yummy the food was given that it was so cheap. I believe the drinks were only like seven dollars as well and they were also really delicious. It’s kind of like the perfect work spot to hang out if you just want to relax and have good food and good drinks.

My friends and I had a great dinner with shareable plates a Bar Reyna. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our table in the "secret garden" was very cute and well spaced. The happy hour menu pricing was great as well. The food was better than expected although the shwarma could be served with more sauce in proportion to the quantity of meat. Overall I would recommend it for a fun and nice dinner out!

For my birthday celebration, I decided to visit STK Steakhouse in Yorkville. Upon arrival, we were greeted downstairs by a lady who confirmed our reservations and directed us to another lady upstairs. After a brief wait, someone took us to our table, adding a touch of fanciness to the start of our evening. Our server introduced himself with a pleasant demeanor, enhancing our dining experience right from the get-go. Bread was served, though it wasn't gluten-free, so I skipped it and went ahead with ordering a glass of Merlot. For the main course, I ordered a filet medium well with prawns. I was a bit disappointed with the presentation—it seemed like it was just thrown on the plate. Unfortunately, the steak was slightly overcooked, and the shrimp was dry, even though I had specified not to dry it out. The server did offer to have it remade, but I declined. Due to a time limit at the tables on Saturdays, our orders weren't taken until the fourth member of our party arrived. Despite some hiccups, the beef was well-cooked and quite satisfying, which my daughter especially enjoyed. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the candle they brought over for my birthday, which was very impressive, as well as the cake and sorbet—both added a wonderful touch to the celebration. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the evening was memorable, thanks in part to the ambiance and the attentive service. Oh the ambience was really impressive inside , its a place I would be visiting on a regular basis if I lived downtown.

Went for girls brunch here and the food was amazing, super happy with the vegetarian options considering it’s a steakhouse! The avocado toast was killer. DJ DVS was amazing, he kept the vibes up all afternoon and we were all dancing in our seats. Our server was amazing and so helpful and kind! 10/10 would recommend!

Our server Stephanie (I think that’s how u spell her name) was soo good to us! She made me and my boyfriend’s 1 year anniversary so memorable and special. She brought us a complimentary dessert and champagne. We had the steak and lamb shanks and mash they were soo good!! Also the peach please drink was amazing totally recommend! Thank you to the best server ever! Definitely coming back just because of her.

Experience was great! Visited on a weekday; less people = faster and better service. Food was great, pricey but worth it. The place is beautiful and picturesque

The food here is delectable- so good. I think the calamari here is THE BEST I’ve tasted anywhere and so is their steak - I had ordered a rib-eye. The ambience is beautiful, especially for a date. Only thing that made the whole experience extremely tiring was the very long wait time for everything - even the initial drinks or for the food to arrive and then for the bill to arrive. But STK is always super packed and that could be the reason but otherwise one of the best experiences I’ve had in Toronto.
