The finger food was really good, fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing while hanging out. Everything came out nicely prepared, and it paired really well with the overall atmosphere of the place. Definitely the type of menu that works well for groups or casual nights out. We watched Eurovision Song Contest there, which made the experience even more fun. The energy in the place during the show was great, and it honestly felt like a fun community atmosphere with everyone enjoying the performances together. The environment added a lot to the experience, and you could tell people were genuinely having a good

I absolutely loved this venue. They have a karaoke/live music space on the second floor and I gotta say: it rocks! Food and drinks are a bit on the $$ end, but the atmosphere makes up for it!

Top tier service, especially for large groups. They accommodated our group of 12 with zero issues. Excellent place to watch World Cup.

We sat at the rooftop patio, which was nice. The reviews praise the mac and cheese but i was hungry so i got the lamb souvlaki. It tasted good but a bit inconsistent in texture. Some bites were dry, some were okay. Serviceable. Our food took a while to arrive but service was fine otherwise.

Came here for a birthday dinner, food was delicious and surprisingly large portions! The show was entertaining and the staff was friendly. Very busy and recommend booking in advance. On the flip tho, the sashimi was just okay, one of the fishes they served had a weird texture that not only my party but the group beside us mentioned / complained to the waiter. Everything else tho was delicious especially the fried rice!

Please like and follow. Yamato in Yorkville was a fantastic surprise. We had lunch on the patio and didn’t even realize the restaurant was there at first, since it sits just below street level. Inside, it’s a beautiful space with a large sushi station, a great bar, and a very well laid out dining area. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic. The food is the real star: the sushi and spicy salmon were packed with flavour and beautifully presented, and even the miso soup and salad were delicious. A hidden gem we’re very glad we discovered, and we’ll definitely be back

Great experience at Yamato! The staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. The udon noodles were perfectly chewy, and the broth was incredibly rich and flavorful. I especially loved how the tempura soaked up the delicious broth—absolutely hit the spot.

One of my favorite Japanese spots in town. Great quality at a reasonable price, especially for Japanese food. Their lunch menu is pretty legit too. Highly recommend!

Went here last month during Christmas week with a friend she recommended it! The atmosphere was really nice. It looks small from the outside, but the inside is actually much bigger than expected. Super chill vibes. The servers were friendly, the food was pretty good, and the drinks were great too. It was a bit late for a coffee taste test at night, but totally worth trying! The pizza was so cheesy, crispy, and deliciousssss perfect for cheese lovers like us :> the cakes were really yummy too!! Definitely coming back to try other foods!

A cafe open 24/7 ?? Say less! Great ambiance, cute interior, very friendly staff, food could be a bit better but still pretty good (all pastas are a safe choice) and filling with prices being very reasonable. More importantly, this place really does offer 24/7 service and when you walk up to it at 3 am hungry and hopeless and you find this cute lil spot with this much history and a bunch of other wanderers sitting there too, it’s a breath of fresh air. Will definitely go back for a late night snack if I’m in the area.

The overnight staff and kitchen staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Overnight staff really do not get enough credit, and as someone who works in the restaurant industry, I truly appreciate when service is done right. They went above and beyond to make our experience a great one. The vodka pasta was so amazing, the drinks were just as good, and I also want to thank the manager for being so hospitable and attentive. This place is definitely a 10/10, and I highly recommend it. THANK YOU! I will be coming back :)

Had an early breakfast. Food was good, but the fries were a bit dry. The dining area's vibe was nice, but it could be better (loud pop music was playing, I wish it was quieter or at least a more relaxing genre). The washroom situation wasn't great; no lock, and the sliding door doesn't close all the way, which is super uncomfortable. I didn't get to explore the other floors but I might try next time.

One of the best pasta dishes I’ve tried in Toronto. The pasta was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly. I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.

I stumbled upon this place by chance while walking around, and the food turned out much better than I expected, with exceptionally friendly servers. Its location near the subway makes it very convenient to visit even without a car. The restroom also appeared to be cleaned regularly and was spotless, making it a restaurant that feels trustworthy in every way.

Service was great. Our waitress was amazing. Drinks were really good (and heavy). The burrata with fried bread in olive oil, chopped tomatos and crispy onions on top was in another level! Best I’ve tried. Strongly recommended! Steak was so tasty, we ordered 16 oz for two, which was enough only if you had starter prior to main course. It served with vegetables. For dessert, we had chocolate cake and lemon tart. Tart was OK (too ordinary compare to other elements we tried). Chocolate cake was good but heavy. The price sits on pricy/fancy side. So I’ll come back for special occasions.

Finally got to try this place! Beautiful vibe, amazing hospitality, and great service. The lamb chops were good, but not a big WOW for me. BUT THE DESSERT! Absolutely delicious and a must-try! The menu has so many tempting options, so I’ll definitely try something different next time!

The Yorkville location is beautiful, and the restaurant has an elegant, charming atmosphere that makes it perfect for a nice lunch or dinner. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was well presented and enjoyable. Overall, a great dining experience with a lovely ambiance and a prime location. Definitely worth a visit when in Yorkville.

Super friendly staff and accommodating! Halal beef and lamb was a win. Highly recommend the steak and eggs. The potatoes and lamb was good too. The pancakes were def to share, not sweet and has hints of nutmeg. The entrance was not accessible sadly. We had to carry the stroller up and down the stairs. Totally worth it.

If you’re looking for genuine Japanese cuisine in Toronto, you definitely need to check this place out. 🇯🇵🇯🇵The food tastes incredibly authentic, and the entire restaurant is spotlessly clean—it really gives off those immaculate Japan vibes. On top of that, the staff here are so polite and welcoming. It truly elevates the whole dining experience. My only tiny critique? I wish they’d play Japanese music in the background instead of English pop songs to fully lock in the immersion! 😂🎵 But honestly, the food and service are top-notch. Highly recommended!

I was craving a bento box and we found this place! My husband ordered the Silver sashimi and I ordered the Golden bento box. Sashimi was very fresh. Food portions were generous and the salmon teriyaki was perfect! Food was delicious and truly hit the spot! Service was excellent too! highly recommend!!

good for sushi, ramen has big portion but taste 3/5 not umami, (i know this is not a ramen restaurant), Ramen has good portion and big slices of pork.

Delicious, well presented and plated food, swift service, fresh and good quality. This resto has been here for many years making people food- happy 😊 Service is brusque, and don't expect warm and fuzzy. Part of the benefit here is in and out quickly, as they mostly cater to nearby office, med, and retail staff.... Good food! Highly recommended. Slightly noisy room. Take your ear plugs, or your hearing aids...

Excellent customer service from the moment I walked in. The team greeted me with a smile and prepared my order very quickly. Everything was fresh, and the coffee tasted amazing. I appreciate the clean environment and the friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I stopped by Tim Hortons this morning and had a really pleasant experience. My coffee was perfectly made and the breakfast sandwich was fresh and tasty. I especially want to mention Susie, who provided outstanding customer service. She was polite, patient, and very helpful while taking my order. It’s always nice to be greeted with such a positive attitude. Great job, Susie!

I have been coming to this Tim Hortons all throughout my undergrad at U of T since I lived nearby, and now that I commute I still pass through Holt Renfrew Centre almost every day. This has always been one of my go-to spots because the staff are friendly and hardworking. That being said, the location is small and often feels understaffed, which slows things down during the morning rush. It also constantly smells burnt inside, which makes waiting less pleasant. Today I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte at 10:09 a.m. and it took over 15 minutes. When I politely asked about it, another customer rudely cut me off. To make things worse, my drink was not called out and was just placed on the counter without informing me. I almost left thinking it was not coming, and I ended up wasting time waiting for no reason. By the time I realized, I was already late for class while people who ordered after me had already been served. The latte itself tasted great once I finally got it, and that is why I am still giving 4 stars. This location has been my favourite for years, but I hope they address the burnt smell and improve communication during busy times so customers do not feel overlooked.

Unbelievable. So delicious! Cocktails were balanced and well made. Food was light and cooked to perfection. Dessert was SUCH a treat. And to top it all off the staff is so kind, efficient and went above and beyond for us-cleaning our table mid meal. Absolutely wonderful. Can’t recommend enough!

We got seated immediately and waiter was very friendly! The bar was busy at 9:30pm but the food came in less than 10 minutes. We ordered curried lamb with the mango chutney. The food was phenomenal; the curried lamb had a little kick to it from the spice, but it was done at a perfect amount. The lamb itself was very tender and the veggies mixed with the chutney delivered a unique experience. The order came to just over $30 per person. Overall 10/10 experience! I would recommend anyone coming here to try to the curried lamb.

I like the atmosphere here! I was dining on the roof top patio and it was nice. The drink I ordered tasted good, the food was good. I would come here often with colleagues.

Fun place, came for a trivia night. Definitely worth checking out one of those nights if you can get a team for a topic you’re knowledgeable on. Standard food and drinks for a pub, so the food can feel like it’s on the pricier side for what you get but decent enough quality. Friendly service and the crowd depends on what event is happening that night.
Adam Chan - 6 months ago

Well this was a surprise. Went to the ROM with family and after our daughter took us here. I don't get downtown much anymore but this place was awesome. Lots of different seating areas. We were upstairs patio which was kinda in doors and kinda outdoors. Everyone enjoyed the food. I only gave it 4 Stars. Because my fish batter was over done. BUT the house home made sauce was awesome.

My daughter and I chose Trattoria Nervosa to celebrate some very good news, and every course made the occasion feel even more special. The first bite of warm bread felt like the first touch of your crush’s hand—simple, exciting and a preview of what might come next. My mojito arrived like an unexpected call from your best friend: bright, refreshing and exactly what I needed. Across the table, my Gen Z daughter’s I Feel Pretty understood the assignment. Her mushroom mafalde was rich, silky and comforting—the culinary equivalent of the group chat finally making it out of the group chat. Apparently, main-character energy is her language and romance is mine. We shared the Cesare between bites, laughter and good news. Then came my duck pappardelle—the first kiss. The duck ragù was deep, rich and beautifully balanced. It was completely worth the anticipation and easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever tasted. The intimate interior completes the experience with layered amber lighting, dark millwork, curved bistro seating and collected plates. Its compact layout creates lively Yorkville energy while still feeling warm and personal. This wasn’t simply an excellent dinner. It became part of a beautiful memory with my daughter—and one of the best meals of my life.

We sat up on the rooftop, which was warm and cozy. I was really excited to try this place, but the food wasn’t bad or anything, just nothing special. I expected more from the mushroom pasta, and the kale salad and nudja pizza were okay. The tiramisu was so hard it felt like it was still frozen…

Been here a lot of times. The truffle pasta is always inconsistent, last time it was bland. The squid was good but quite salty—it definitely needs bread on the side. Good portions and very nice staff.

This is hands down the most delicious Italian restaurant I’ve had in Toronto so far. I used to work in Malta, Europe, years ago and had plenty of chances to visit Italy, so I’ve always had a soft spot for Italian cuisine. That also means I’m pretty picky when it comes to the flavors, but this place truly nails the most classic Italian dishes. If you’re a fan of Italian food, this spot is an absolute must-try. On top of the great food, our server Vanessa was incredibly attentive and made the whole dining experience feel so warm and welcoming. If you’re visiting Toronto, don’t miss out on this restaurant—you won’t be disappointed!

Food was decent. We ordered the margarita pizza and the mushroom truffle pasta. The pizza was a bit underwhelming but the pasta was solid. Smaller portions than I was hoping for based on the price. Our service was very good and we got seated on a private balcony on the second floor which was a plus! We were overall fairly happy with our experience.

Had an amazing time at Jack Astor's! The food was fresh, the energy was high, and it was the perfect spot to catch the match. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Kunal! He was incredibly attentive, polite, and completely made our night. Amazing service 10/10. Will definitely be back for the next game!

Servers Zico and Dan were so friendly and welcoming! Food was good and good portions as well. I like to have sweet drink so I asked for extra syrup in my cocktail and they had no problem adding that for me. Thanks for a great experience!

Got here on a Saturday evening just after 5pm and they still managed to squeeze me and the family in fairly quickly. Delicious food and friendly service (Kunal was amazing!) The fact you can queue up music in the app is a nice bonus. Also a dedicated gluten free fryer! Celiacs welcome here.

We had such a wonderful experience at Jack Astor’s during the hockey playoffs thanks to our amazing server! Celia was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and welcoming throughout the entire evening. My partner and I stayed for hours watching the hockey game, and she consistently checked in on us without ever making us feel rushed. Her recommendations for appetizers, entrées, desserts, and drinks were all absolutely spot on, every single thing she suggested was delicious! You could really tell she cared about making sure we had a great experience. She personalized the entire experience and made us feel extra special with each check in. Her friendly energy and attention to detail made our night even more enjoyable. Outstanding service from start to finish, happy hour or not, we’ll definitely be back because of her!

We visited this location for the first time and it was a great experience thanks to Celia! She was very accommodating and moved us to a quieter location when a table nearby was getting too rowdy. She also had great suggestions for each course! The food was pretty good overall.
