Came here to celebrate my special girl’s birthday, and it was perfect. We ordered the tomahawk ribeye; cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The sides of mushrooms and mashed potatoes paired so well with the steak. The service and atmosphere made the night feel extra special. Definitely a memorable dining experience, highly recommend for any celebration!

What a great steakhouse experience. The service was exceptional. The attention to detail was amazing and the food was beyond our expectations. Their wine list is very comprehensive as well and we had an amazing meal. We will definitely return.

I had heard a lot about Morton’s before coming here. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The service was excellent and the servers were very attentive. The food on the other hand was not up to the mark. I have had many steaks in my day and this was definitely one of the worst I’ve ever had. The dessert wasn’t much to write home about either. The wine was decent. The ambience in the upstairs area was also lacking. Not really worth the price, in my opinion

Me and my girlfriend visited Morton’s for our anniversary and I should say what a classic this place is! We were helped by Athena, who was amazing in walking us through the menu. They also put anniversary cards in our menus and served us complimentary chocolate lava cake at the end which was so nice and thoughtful. (And oh, the cake was so delicious. We were full but still finished the cake). We ordered bone-in ribeye and French onion soup. The bone-in ribeye cooked medium would just fall off the bone . We got garlic butter on the side which was a nice touch and French onion soup was just so warm and fresh and tasty. Their in-house bread with the butter was also so freshly made and. All around amazing night with thoughtful staff and delicious food!

I went here for a friends birthday and overall was a pleasant experience. I had the ribeye steak with lobster Mac & cheese and it was fairly good. I would definitely choose a sauce next time to enhance the taste of the steak because the flavour was slightly underwhelming. Mac & cheese was tasty but wish they added some more shrimp Waiter was extremely nice and welcoming and the overall service was very good. Definitely on the pricier side for what is given but somewhat expected for a spot downtown

I’ve only been coming to this Tim Hortons for a few weeks since starting a new job, but I already feel like a regular thanks to Christian. He greets me every morning with a warm smile, asks how I’m doing, knows me by name and even has my order ready (I use the app). It’s such a small thing, but it truly makes my mornings better. Thank you, Christian, for starting my day on a positive note!

Great customer service, Christian's warm smile and greeting are very welcoming. He is prompt and attentive in taking my order. Small gestures like these show customers that staff like Christian cares about providing positive experience whether I am buying coffee or bagel.

Had a lovely experience in this location. The staff are so nice and approachable, especially 'Chris' who had served me. He was so welcoming and had helped me a lot in placing my order since there are variety to pick. Plus they serve fast, keep it up!

The reason I keep returning to this particular place, despite other options that might be closer, comes down to one simple, yet powerful, factor: the exceptional customer service from Chris! It’s a force that transforms a simple transaction into a positive experience, and that experience builds a relationship of trust and loyalty. While the product or service itself is important, the human element—the way I'm treated—is what truly differentiates this business and keeps me coming back.

Food quality was great and ambience was so so good. Felt relaxing and the servers were very friendly. Burger was perfectly good and juicy. The wrap was surprising juicy and fully of veggies and chicken. One of the best wraps I have had in a long time. Food : lamb burger and sesame ginger chicken wrap Drink : domestic beer

Been here multiple times. It's a staple spot for me, always busy, always with good vibes. Staff are friendly, food is consistent, drink selection and price is OK. I especially like their edamame and fries portions. Vibrant atmosphere. Street parking can be tricky, but there are couple of public parkings nearby.

I’ve been to Hemingway quite a few times since it’s close to me. Overall, it has a really good and fun vibe. Personally, I think it’s best if you go with a group of friends — the bigger the group, the more fun you’ll have, especially if you’re drinking. For a quiet conversation, it’s not the best spot since almost everyone is tipsy 😅 and the place gets pretty loud.

Hemingway’s is a vibrant spot that delivers on both atmosphere and flavor. From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming and upbeat, making it a great place for a meal or a night out. The food is outstanding—especially the fish and chips and the fish tacos, which were both fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel well taken care of without being overbearing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lively setting with very good food and top-notch service. Will definitely be back!

The chicken souvlaki was so dry, even drowning it in tzatziki couldn’t save it… the rice was also very dry, had no seasoning and definitely not made today. Jimmy the Greek does it better and that’s mall food. There was also a racoon crawling on the roof which apparently “happens every day because it lives in the tree beside the restaurant” and had me questioning food standards while adding to the tired cheap vibe.

Right across the street from the amazing-on-it’s-own ROM, the Gardiner shines on its own with a wonderful collection. We visited during the renovation of the first floor so the museum was generously pay-what-you-wish. I loved seeing the porcelain and ceramics from countries around the world. Some beautiful seating available off the galleries on some terraces. They also have clay workshops going on, and though we did not sign up for one, we were invited to join in a “play with clay” event going on outside which was a fun bonus activity on our way out.

It is a beautifully curated space dedicated to ceramic art, showcasing both historical and contemporary collections. The intimate setting allows visitors to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of pieces from around the world. With engaging exhibitions, workshops, and lectures, the museum offers an enriching experience. Its serene architecture creates a peaceful atmosphere, making it a must-visit for art lovers and ceramic enthusiasts.

My 2nd time visiting Gardiner Museum and I enjoyed very much! So much to see and learn about porcelain art from around the world 🗺️ Fantastic exhibition of an amazing art. New art work or display is coming in November’25 Restaurant is on 3 floor with amazing view and pleasant seating area. Also kids can learn and do some clay work.

I enjoyed my visit here very much. Good range of works, clearly presented. The Tree of Life (basement) could have a short (18"-high) mirror put behind it so we can see the back of it. The third floor has a curious, neutral-to-positive take on a megalomaniac. It doesn't suitably confront the issues of kidnapping (saying someone was just 'seized'?) and other injustices that were, at best, glossed over, and at worst glorified. Even if they weren't explicitly condoned it seems they were laid vulnerable to misinterpretation by young audiences. I get that it's a fine line not to be too presentist. But there could be a more balanced representation of Augustus: e.g. detailing further the political turmoil. Perhaps put more emphasis on how his pursuits destabilised Poland (a historical fact), how his legacy is marked as much by overreach as artistic brilliance, how he saw leadership less as a duty than a spectacle. And so on. If this seems out of place in a ceramics museum, fine, but then much of the existing text in veiled reverence of Augustus should also be omitted. Highly recommend this engaging and diverse museum.

Such a nice place to check out. I learned a lot about ceramics and seeing how organize it was inside allowed myself to immerse in each era. I wish I would have known about the pottery workshop. I would have loved to participate but for those that are visiting soon or live in Toronto. The next one will be in Sept. You have to sign in advance.

Great location in the heart of Yorkville, very attentive & kind staff. The food came quickly & hot. Delicious pizza & pasta although the pasta portion was small considering the price. The lichee martini was probably the best one I’ve had to date. The warm apple crumble was delicious but it’s actually a slice of apple pie. There’s parking right down the road about minutes away which is so convenient. We’ll definitely return
Julia Gourlie - 2 weeks ago

We tried the chicken salad, fettuccine alla Ciccio, and a tomato sauce–cheese–based pizza (sadly forgot the name). The flavors were decent for the price, classic and authentically Italian. The complimentary bread served before the meal was a nice touch. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a light, casual date.

I went to this restaurant with a huge party (~25 ppl) that had the room upstairs. The service was excellent. Probably the best service I've ever had at a restaurant with a large group. The food was also delicious. The servers were attentive and kind. The restaurant was more than happy to make substitutions, which we loved and was so appreciated so that we could all thoroughly enjoy our meals.
Dani - 4 weeks ago

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the restaurant, which served exceptional food and a great atmosphere. The service was impeccable, and the charbroiled squid and pasta dishes were particularly outstanding.
Mina Robetorye - a month ago

We had a wonderful experience at this genuine Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing the service was unbelievable everyone was so kind and welcoming. The owner himself came out to meet us and made sure that we were well taken care, he was so kind he gave us a tour and told us about the history of the restaurant. I’ve been to Italy a handful of times and I felt like I was dining there. The ambiance was authentic and felt so warm and cozy. We also tried some of the wines that are bottled in house and that was just a beautiful bonus. I’m a huge foodie so this was right up my alley for best Italian in Toronto. I’ll be a regular now.

Absolutely delicious gelato! We tried the pistachio, hazelnut, and coffee, and each one was bursting with incredible flavor. The consistency was perfectly creamy and not overly sweet, which we loved. Plus, the friendly staff went the extra mile to confirm the flavors were gluten-free. We'll definitely be back for more!
Frishta Rahshani - 3 months ago

definitely recommend its a cute little shop in right outside of the bay station cumberland exit, minimal sitting room but thats to be expected. such a cute shop with a relatively good range of flavours, the gelato itself is smooth and creamy i got their biscotti (?) flavour which was like a less sweet cookies and creams, i enjoy sweet things but this was still a great treat, they also add a small cone on top which makes everything way cuter. they also don’t skimp out on it she really packed my cup with gelato, excited to go again !

Ziya Tabassian - 5 months ago

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.

A great place for a quick bite after visiting the ROM. All the food we tried was tasty. The pizza was freshly made and tasty. Great selection of kids meals. We ordered the kids hamburger with fries and it was a good portion and tasted great. I would suggest adding some veggie sticks to make it a more nutritious and complete kids meal. The price was great. We dined during happy hours so for the quality of food and atmosphere, it is a steal! Very nice ambience with indoor and outdoor patio dining options. It's part of a hotel so the washroom was spacious and clean! Overall, a great comfortable restaurant and good for kids. I will come back again.

It's a very smart and comfortable lounge. The service was fantastic and the drinks were ok. Sadly, I did tell the server we were a tad disappointed by the $18 "happy hour" pizza - it seemed to look like something from the Shoppers frozen aisle (and tasted worse). He kindly offered us some desserts but we declined. He mentioned that their other food is better, so I don't want to judge the place too harshly based on the pizza (see picture). For the restaurant: there are many great pubs and bars downtown selling happy hour pizzas, home made, for $10... Edna and Vita is a good example.

Service was lovely. Unfortunately two of the four shrimp spring rolls were cold and grey on the inside. I sent them back and asked for my bill - hopeful catering over the next two days does not deliver undercooked meat products.

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. :)

Amazing amazing amazing staff. I had a foot injury at the restaurant. I was wearing high heels and twisted my ankel. Staff was so helpful especially the manager, he was so humble . Food was amazing and so was the ambience. We booked igloo patio outdoor and it was amazing . We are unhappy with the price only other than that everything was amazing
