We had a really great experience at Morton’s The Steakhouse. My husband and I celebrated our Valentine’s date there. The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were very tasty. The atmosphere was romantic, and we would love to come back again. Highly recommended!

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.

We had an exceptional experience at Morton’s The Steakhouse. The wine selection was impressive and gave us lots of great options to choose from. The lobster bisque soup was decadent. The steaks were honestly better than we imagined. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, exactly what you hope for when you go somewhere known for steak. We were seated upstairs in a private room, which created the perfect atmosphere for conversation and a relaxed evening. It felt elevated without being stuffy. What really stood out was the service. Attentive, professional, and seamless from start to finish. The team made the whole night feel special. If you’re looking for a high-end steakhouse experience in Toronto, this is absolutely worth it.

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!

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

Great experience at Tim Hortons 246 Bloor Street West! I tried the Pistachio Latte and it was delicious. The team made my order quickly, and Belle was very friendly and welcoming. The service was fast and efficient, even during busy hours. The store was clean and well maintained, and my order was prepared correctly and with care. Definitely a reliable spot for a quick coffee and breakfast. Keep up the great work!

"I had a fantastic stay here, but the highlight was definitely the dining experience. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out, however, was the manager SHAIL. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring every guest felt welcomed and that the service was seamless. It’s rare to see such high-level leadership on the floor. Highly recommended!"

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I just had to give a shoutout to Chris at the Tim Hortons on 246 Bloor Street West. He went above and beyond with his service. He was so friendly, fast, and genuinely kind. You can tell he really cares about the customers, which makes such a difference! The place itself has a great vibe too, clean, relaxed, and a nice spot to sit and enjoy a coffee. We had a great time there, and it honestly made our day a little brighter. Big thanks to Chris and the team for creating such a positive experience!

As a fellow Kiwi man married to a Canadian with Canadian kids. We love this restaurant. A touch of kiwi class. Food that transports me back to my roots. But most of all the family loves the Pavlova desert. Love me a good ole hearty lamb shanks 🤤😁
Damian Poi - a month ago

We had NZ lamb chops. The meat was succulent and well seasoned. It goes well with the mashed potato and the veggies. The calamari was so-so. I was just surprised that they used tzatziki as sauce. I liked how hot they serve the food. The first floor is the bar. They also have an ATM in the mezzanine /second floor and the dining area is on the third floor/rooftop. We had a pretty good view and there was tv in there to watch any sports games.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Though it’s a spacious bar with 3 floors, they ended up giving people smaller tables and asking them to squeeze, even though some people were seated on the patio, where it was -18 and cold. I guess the problem was a lack of servers; they were so rushed and confused. It made the vibe a bit tense and felt disorganized. For food, we had Jambalaya and a Fiesta bowl. The Jambalaya was delicious, a bit undersalted, but overall delicious. The Fiesta Bowl was very tasty.

Solid bar food, but nothing super special! Service was great and the upstairs area of the restaraunt was perfect to sit in! The dessert was AMAZING though.

It's a bar with rooftop and outdoor patios. You could sit at the bar, watch sports, and have local and imported beer, including Australian, as well as wine, cocktails, liquors, although the selection is rather narrow. The noise level is tolerable at least during Sunday lunch. The service is pretty quick and friendly. Out of Bounds Chicken Salad It's a very nice and well balanced salad with fresh leafy greens, soft mildly salty feta, crunchy pecans, and sweet dry cranberries, and pleasantly sour-sweet raspberry vinaigrette - so you have a good mixture of different flavors and textures. Jerky chicken breast (or you can have a grilled chicken breast) was tender, but the portion was quite small. This was the only downside of this otherwise nice dish. Pavlova It was terrible - extremely sweet, boring and aesthetically unappealing - a large piece of meringue sprinkled with not-so-whipped cream and even small fresh and sour notes from a few slices of strawberry and kiwi were unable to save that gastronomic disaster. Overall it's rather not recommended than overwise. Although, the salad was not bad, but the protein part was too small, and the Pavlova was a pure shame.

The Gardiner Museum is a true hidden gem in Toronto. The collection of ceramics and porcelain is beautifully curated, showcasing everything from ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces in a way that feels both educational and inspiring. The space itself is bright, modern, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to move through the exhibits at your own pace. The displays are informative without being overwhelming, and you can really appreciate the craftsmanship and history behind each piece. It’s a peaceful, enriching experience perfect for a cultural afternoon in the city. Highly recommended for art lovers, history enthusiasts, or anyone looking for something unique to explore in Toronto.

As a wedding photographer, I love working at the Gardiner Museum. It’s modern, architectural, and it gives space to create. The natural light inside is beautiful. Large windows bring in soft daylight that is very flattering.The terrace is a big bonus. You get open air, skyline views, and room for guests to mingle. It’s perfect for cocktail hour and candid moments. Inside, the lines are simple and elegant. Neutral walls, and contemporary design. That means the couple stays the focus. Right across from Queen’s Park. You can step outside for portraits with greenery, city vibes, or both. From a photography perspective, it’s versatile. It works for modern weddings, editorial style, and couples who want something refined but not over the top. If you’re planning a downtown Toronto wedding with a clean, contemporary feel, the Gardiner Museum is a strong choice.

The Gardiner Museum houses a rich collection of ceramic objects, including small statues, dishes, bowls, cups, teapots, and many other works in clay. The elegant building is organized over three floors plus a basement. The basement displays only a few artworks along a corridor that leads to rooms used by museum staff. The first floor features a small museum shop, a couple of rooms dedicated to children’s activities—one of which is open only for classes and special events—and galleries presenting modern ceramic works alongside the oldest pieces in the collection, originating from South America, the Middle East, and Europe, particularly Italy. The second floor is devoted to European porcelain, mainly from England, France, and Germany, as well as an impressive collection of Japanese and Chinese porcelain artworks. On the third floor, visitors can enjoy a beautiful café with large glass windows offering a view of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). The entire museum is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. Children can pick up activity booklets on the ground floor, which they can use to explore and engage with the artworks throughout the museum. The museum is not excessively large and can be comfortably visited in one to two hours.

What an unique museum- dedicated to ceramics. This lovely museum is right across from the ROM you all know. Get off at TTC museum station and head here to get wowed by ceramic evolution tales especially in countries/ kingdom of Europe and world in general.Adore the marvellous collection of ceramics from different era and kingdom. A wonderful place to spend and hour or two having a different perspective on ceramics. One thing that stands out for this place is that it is well curated museum,much smaller than ROM but nevertheless special in it's own right.
Su R c - 5 months ago

Absolutely love this museum, and it's great to see a museum in Canada that is only for ceramics. The workers were incredibly helpful and really engaging. Honestly the best experience I have ever had with a guide at a museum before. I could not recommend this place enough.

Service is quick, although the staff doesn’t seem particularly knowledgeable about the menu or ingredients. Prices are generally reasonable, but some items weirdly expensive, for example, a bottle of sparkling water costs $12. Dimmi Charbroiled Calamari The calamari was decent — slightly on the tough side, lacking the tenderness you'd hope for. That said, the accompanying arugula, greens, and cherry tomatoes dressed in a balsamic-olive oil vinaigrette added freshness and depth to the dish, elevating the overall flavor. Dimmi Fettuccine Alla Riviera with shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, and calamari. The pasta was cooked "al dente," but leaned a little too far into firmness. Unfortunately, the seafood was overcooked, which dulled both the texture and flavor. A better balance between pasta doneness and seafood tenderness is needed here. Dimmi Veal Milanese served with arugula, parmigiano, cherry tomatoes, sautéed rapini, and roasted potatoes. This was easily the least tender veal I've had in the past five years. It lacked flavor and was tough to chew, which made the whole dish disappointing despite the well-prepared sides. Overall, despite a few decent elements, mediocre food with overcooked seafood and tough to chew veal make it hard to recommend.

Stopped by for dinner with family and we had a lovely time. Ana Maria was our server and she was very attentive and kind. The location is in the heart of Yorkville with unique touches throughout the restaurant and tables. They also had heated outdoor seating which was a plus for a rainy evening. We ordered the calamari, veal, and angel hair pasta and all were delicious! We were too full to try any dessert but did see several people share their excitement once they tried theirs. Highly recommend for a group or date night!

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 - 6 months 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 followed some friends to come get Gelato here and although I didn't get any for myself, I could tell it tasted so good from their faces. The ambience was good and the service was swift and excellent
Nwadike Augustine - 6 months ago

The staff here are so sweet and kind! I love that they always have new and exciting flavours like fig, amarena and passion fruit. Although my favourite will always be the lemon gelato!!! My husbands favourite is the pistachio. Rich and decadent but light enough to keep you wanting more. Another favourite of mine is their waffle cone because it smells exactly like traditional pizelle from Italy! The cappuccino machine is amazing too!! I also really love that you can take ice cream home. They put it in styrofoam to keep it cool on the way home and then you have incredible gelato at home!!! The only thing is that this location is definitely not convenient if you are driving as it’s in the very heart of yorkville with no street parking. Great spot when you’re walking through bay and bloor!!
Sylvia Grande - 3 months ago

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 - 10 months ago

There is no other ice cream spot in town that comes near this one when it comes to the variety of flavors, and most importantly for some who are sensitive to dairy, a wide range of dairy free options to choose from. We drive a long distance for their ice cream, even in winter. Try the pear, melon, and chocolate flavors (dairy free)!
Abbas Ahmed - 3 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.

Better than the average location! Service is usually quick and customer. Inside the seats and tables look clean.
Andy Wu - 5 months ago

Well, this was a whole new experience! You don't go to McDonald's and expect to have uniformed servers greeting you and bringing the food to your table! Very relaxed and comfortable, higher end restaurant-like atmosphere. Deducting 1 star due to the lack of washrooms (only 3 shared washrooms).
Alma Arzate - 7 months ago

I feel so bad for the staff here. It always reeks of BO/drugs and there are constantly people acting up and scaring the customers. The staff are cool and the food is fine but the smell is absolutely brutal. They need a security guard to keep these people out. You can’t expect the fast food employees to have to deal with that themselves.
C B - a month ago

The service is very good. The staff respond quickly when you ask questions. At other McDonald’s locations, it often takes a long time to get an answer, but that wasn’t the case here, even after visiting several times. However, there are sometimes homeless people inside, so it seems difficult to keep the place consistently clean.

If the average mcdonalds is akin to the average mcdonalds, the Bloor and Queens Park mcdonalds is like the frontlines of a centuries old conflict, forgotten by the ages, still raging on miraculously. I recall a time when I reached for the usually present handles of the large glass front doors, only to realize they'd been ripped clean off their metal hinges. Props to the workers for somehow staying focused in that place. Food is mcdonalds. Atmosphere is a depressing kind of interesting.

I spent my birthday here, and the experience was wonderful. The servers gave very detailed introductions for every dish and offered a variety of wine samples for us to taste, patiently guiding us to make the right choice after explaining each one. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable, and after learning that it was my birthday, the staff were incredibly kind and even wrote me a handwritten birthday card. Parking is conveniently located right next to the restaurant, which made everything even easier. Highly recommended!

Bar Reyna was absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of coming in for Sunday brunch, and it was phenomenal. The Oyster Royale is highly recommended, and the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking with incredible flavor. A special thank you to the bartender, Leah, who made me a customized cocktail tailored exactly to my taste buds — it was fantastic. Our server Johnny, was very welcoming and took the time to answer all my questions. Highly recommended for brunch or dinner. Thank you, Bar Reyna, for the excellent service!

Amazing food honestly, I don’t think there was a single item on the menu I could say didn’t taste amazing. Kingsley was our server and he was on point. Chef moses has done an amazing job creating and keeping your taste buds wanting more. Menu offers a variety of food that can cater to anyone visiting Bar Reyna. To drink I had the French martini and it was very well balanced, not too sweet and not to spirit forward. Will definitely be visiting again 10/10

Visited this bar restaurant recently — the space is beautiful, upscale, and has a really nice vibe. It definitely feels like a great spot for drinks or a stylish night out. However, there was some confusion regarding happy hour. The website mentions happy hour from 2–6 PM Tuesday to Sunday, but when we arrived before 6 PM on Sunday, we were told it actually ends at 4 PM. Unfortunately, this wasn’t specified online, which was disappointing. We ordered the Arabic fries, which seemed to be one of their notable dishes, but we were left unimpressed. The portion was quite small and mostly consisted of tiny crumb-like fries — it almost felt like leftovers from the bottom of the fryer basket. We had to use our tongues to pick them up and dip them into the date ketchup. The cocktails were nice and well-presented, but nothing particularly memorable or outstanding. Overall, a fancy place with a great atmosphere, but the food and clarity around happy hour could definitely be improved.

finally decided to try this place after seeing it go viral and was not disappointed! Located in a truly great Toronto neighborhood, it was the perfect spot to settle in and get some work done. I ordered the octopus and two cocktails. I can confidently say the octopus was prepared perfectly—it literally melted in my mouth. It's rare to find a place that cooks it this well. The drinks were chef's kiss; absolutely top-tier. The service was a highlight. My server, Ty, was excellent. He constantly had an eye on my table, ensuring I had everything I needed to focus on my work without being intrusive. Impeccable service like that makes a difference. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work or a beautiful setting for a meal, this place is fantastic. Their patio is stunning—definitely worth checking out! I'll be back soon Updated a few new pics cuz i went back!

Amazing atmosphere. Came here for lunch. Delicious: chopped salad with chicken, "this and that" (salmon charcuterie board). The poached eggs were more like eggs and a stew base ... Different than what I expected but still tasted good. The apple/pear/ginger seasonal juice was exceptional and refreshing!

CLAY Restaurant has a nice view, located on the third floor of the Gardiner Museum. The first floor is currently under renovation and closed, so admission is pay-as-you-wish. Since we went up to the third floor for a meal, we also took the stairs down afterward and visited the ceramic exhibits on the second floor. The area is surrounded by historic buildings, and the service was excellent—warm but respectful, very attentive with timely plate changes and table settings. I enjoyed the modern, fusion-style dishes. The lemon tart was a highlight: sweet and sour in perfect balance, very refreshing, though it took a little longer to arrive since the whipped cream was freshly made. The soba cold noodles with fried tofu were quite unique. The omelette was a safe choice but still satisfying, with the fillings changing daily—today’s mushroom, cheese, and bacon combination was exactly to my taste. The corned beef was decent, nothing outstanding. As for the ceramics collection, it was impressive with pieces from both Eastern and Western traditions across different eras, definitely worth a look.

We had lunch here for Mother’s Day. The restaurant itself is clean with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, though understandably busy for the occasion. Service was attentive, but our food did take a while to arrive. We started with coffee, which was excellent. As for the special Mother’s Day menu, it left room for improvement. The salad looked appealing, but the lettuce was served in large clumped leaves, raising concerns about whether it was thoroughly washed. It also felt a bit skimpy, especially with only half an egg included. I unfortunately chose the wrong dish for myself—which is on me—but the portion was surprisingly small, especially considering the large plate it was served on. Flavour-wise, it was underwhelming. For our mains, the steak had to be sent back, though the flavour was good once corrected. The eggs were slightly too runny for our taste, and a bit more bread would have made the dish more complete. The risotto was another letdown—both in terms of portion and flavour. It lacked depth, though the pickled onions added a small spark of interest. Dessert didn’t fare much better. There was a mix-up with our order, and we had to choose an alternate option. The cakes appeared to have been refrigerated for a while, lacking that fresh-from-the-bakery feel. Food-wise, it just didn’t hit the mark. I genuinely wanted to enjoy the meal, but unfortunately, it was a miss this time.

Had a fantastic lunch this afternoon at Clay! Service was quick and the staff were kind, but don’t even get me started on the food; it was phenomenal! I particularly loved the chopped salad, such a perfect medley of flavours. Definitely will be returning!

Loved the food and the hospitality. Shoutout to Chris for checking on us time to time. The food here is a mix of flavours, yet comforting. Perfect place for brunch on a sunny afternoon. Highly recommended. Shoutout to Chef Bianca for the exceptional menu she created.
