The food tasted great!! The prime rib was very tender (we ordered medium rare), however was a little bit too salty for my liking. Service was awesome. The mains took a while but it was understandable as it was peak dinner hours (7:30pm). One thing worth noting was we were brought to the corner at the back but our waiter was really attentive so that didn’t turn out to be a huge problem. Would definitely come back again!

I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday with my family at The Keg on York Street, and the evening couldn’t have gone any better. A huge part of that was thanks to the outstanding service from Vanessa and Roman. They were professional, courteous, attentive, and genuinely made our group of 12 feel well looked after from start to finish. There’s really not much to say about the food at The Keg that hasn’t already been said. It’s the benchmark for consistency—almost the McDonald’s of steakhouses in the best possible way. No matter what you order or which location you visit, you know exactly what you’re getting: a high-quality meal that’s cooked and presented to a consistently excellent standard. Thank you to Vanessa, Roman, and the entire York Street kitchen crew for making my 40th birthday such a memorable celebration. You helped create an evening my family and I won’t soon forget.

I’m not usually a fan of chains but Jonathan was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He genuinely cared about the menu; gave me the heads-up that one item is a smaller portion, advised my friend to get Grenadine on the side for one of the mocktails, and had some hot takes that we loved on the dessert menu. The food itself was solid; the lobster tails tasted great, as did the filet mignon. We also got the crème brûlée and the Billy Miner’s pie and the latter was a huge portion. The restaurant is accessible and they were able to seat our party of 4 with 2 power wheelchairs. No issues getting around.

For appetizers, we ordered shrimp, and it was much tastier than I expected. Honestly, it was so good that I even forgot to take a photo of it. I ordered a steak, which in my opinion was just average because it didn’t have a special flavor. The meat quality was good and tender, but it lacked taste. Some steaks are really rich and flavorful, but this one wasn’t very flavorful to me. We also ordered lobster, but since I didn’t eat it myself, I can’t really comment on it. Another point is that, unlike some places where food arrives cold, here the food came to the table really hot, and I really appreciated that. I really liked the restaurant’s atmosphere. It was very spacious with a variety of seating arrangements and layouts, which I enjoyed a lot.

We had a great dinner at The Keg on York Street. Everything we ordered was really good, but the highlight was definitely the steak and lobster. The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster was very tasty, and the whole plate worked really well together. The appetizer was also excellent and a great way to start the meal. Overall, the food was high quality, the portions were satisfying, and we really enjoyed the evening. A very good steakhouse experience and definitely worth a visit. 5 stars from us.

Visited this Indian restaurant near Queen West Station for their dine-in-for-two and was genuinely impressed with the quality and flavors. This is the kind of spot more people from our community should know about. Started with onion pakoras which were crispy and flavourful - excellent beginning. The real star is the non-veg platter - it comes with afghani chicken, tandoori chicken, green chicken, and kebabs served with mint chutney. Every single item on that platter was delicious and well-prepared. This alone is worth the visit. Butter chicken with naan was good, though it leans on the sweeter side. If you prefer spicy, just ask them to adjust - they're accommodating. The chole was too good, especially with the pickle and mint on the side. Loved every bite of it. The dine-in-for-two is great value and gives you a proper Indian meal experience. Service was good, portions are generous, and the food quality is consistent. Not claiming it's a hidden gem, but it's a solid spot that deserves more recognition from Indian food lovers in Toronto. Quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and fair pricing. The staff was very polite and helpful. Recommended: Non-Veg Platter (must-order), Chole, Onion Pakoras Tips: Ask for spice level adjustments on curries if needed. The non-veg platter is perfect for sharing.

A literal gem in downtown Toronto. My friends and I stumbled across this restaurant two years ago not knowing this would become our comfort food. We all have our personal favorites, but mine is the Chicken Saag and Jalfrezi. And don’t even get me started on the bread here, especially the roti and naan. My friends and I can eat a scary amount of them and we always do 😁. Everything is made with care, and you can taste the love and hard work behind each dish. It’s a reflection of the people that make Little India special, and ultimately, what keeps us coming back isn’t just the food, it’s also the service. Jaya and the staff have always been incredibly nice to us, from complimentary bread and rice to the occasional desserts on the house. These gestures mean a lot more than they may realize, especially to a group of international students living far from home since they remind us of sharing meals with our own families. While this place may be called Little India, the genuine hospitality will make anyone feel nostalgic for home and that’s reason enough to eat here.

I LOVE this place. The naan is so amazing. I get sad whenever I eat store bought ones. I need to be locked in a room and the key thrown away with food from this restaurant. Eating with hands is a must! ❤️ The dessert (middle photo) is a light sweet taste to cleanse your palate. Perfect way to end the meal.

I visited Little India with my team mates as part of team outing. We ordered Tea, samosas and pakoras. Everything tasted good and was made fresh and hot. Even though they took quite some time to serve tea but it was made fresh and it was not machine made. Overall good experience, good option for Indian food.

Tried this Indian spot with my wife and my son the other night. The place itself is really nice — cozy vibe, warm lighting, and the décor is on point. Definitely a good spot if you’re looking for somewhere comfortable to sit and enjoy a meal. Food was fresh and well made, but heads up — it’s pretty spicy, even some of the dishes we didn’t expect to be. We’re not great with spice, so that was a bit tough for us. Overall, solid experience. If you like heat, you’ll probably love it. If not, just ask them to tone it down 👍

Once you’re inside, it’s actually quite spacious, and the service is really good. The baguette they serve as a starter would’ve been even better if it were thinner and served warm. It would’ve been perfect for sharing with the dishes. Grilled Moroccan Octopus 🐙 Really tender and goes so well with the lemon vinaigrette. Moussaka ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This one is seriously five stars. The ground meat, tomato sauce, cheese, and the eggplant layered underneath pretending to be meat 😂 Everything works so well together. SO good. Fisherman’s Soup 🍲 The kind of flavour that makes you crave a glass of wine. 🍷 Baklava 🥮 A dessert with a Middle Eastern vibe. Unfortunately, it was a little soggy.

The food was delicious and our waiter was incredibly helpful with all our questions. The calamari had great flavour and texture and the saganaki was one of the best I’ve ever had. We shared the Rack of Lamb and it was super tender and incredibly well seasoned. We took it medium rare as per the chef’s reccomendation. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse, which was very smooth with a very rich chocolate flavour. It was not too sweet! Would come again!!

We had a fantastic dinner last night here! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. One member of our group needed to leave early to make it to a special event, and the staff was so thoughtful and rushed her order so that she was able to make it on time. Definitely check this place out!

This place was TOP NOTCH. Even though we did not eat inside the restaurant, service/food were amazing and accommodating. Since we were staying at the Sheraton across the street and one of our friends was not as mobile, we ended up taking the food back to our room. But we were taken care of graciously at the bar as we waited for our food order. This is a place i would come back to and bring friends and family. And i dont say that about many place, but this place is a total yes for me. If it’s a nice date, a friendly gathering or a business related meeting. I would recommend this place 10 out of 10. Just keep in mind that the dishes are somewhat small but shareable. Like you order a bunch of stuff to taste and share with the table/group from what i noticed. The photo does not do it justice, just go check out this place for yourself.

Calamari was great. Octopus was a bit dry and old. Salad was average. Lamb chops were lack of flavor. Fish was a bit salty and dry (kinda overcooked) Good vibes. Service was a bit slow.

Jasmine was our server and she was attentive and knowledgeable. One person in our party was a celiac and everything for them was gluten free with no issues. The wine was awesome and the food was amazing. It was a nice change to have such a positive restaurant experience these days. Well done! Will be back!

Visited for Valentine’s Day and I cannot begin to describe how wonderful our night was. Despite it being a very busy night, our server Jason was attentive and friendly and communicative with us about the status of our meal. He definitely made our night much more enjoyable with his service! The food was absolutely delicious, the wild mushroom pappardelle is all I’ve been thinking about since that night. When our food was taking a while to come out we were even offered free dessert and a glass of dessert wine as compensation, we didn’t mind waiting on a busy night but this was such a nice gesture regardless. My partner and I had a pretty bad experience with a restaurant on Valentine’s Day last year so coming to Little Anthony’s this time was a breath of fresh air. We will definitely be coming back!! :)

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner experience at Little Anthony. The service was beyond our expectations, to the point that the maitre’d brought me soda water and a napkin when he noticed me trying to dab a sauce stain from my shirt! Truly attentive! The food was wonderful. Amazing lamb ragu and veal piccata. Worth every star!
Mike Blatchford - 2 months ago

Honestly surprised this place was not more busy! The food and service was fantastic. Our server Iana was friendly and all of our food came out in a timely manner and was done to perfection. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend the oysters and the tuna tartar.
Lexi Clark - 10 months ago

Visited Little Anthony's on Richmond Street West—cozy, lively spot with warm lighting. Busy but not packed; staff were friendly and quick to assist. Food was stellar: seafood risotto was creamy and packed with fresh shrimp, and the lamb ragu pasta was rich and perfectly cooked. Portions felt generous for the price. Parking was tight downtown, so I’d suggest arriving early or using transit. Would definitely return!

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. The service was really good. The ambiance was upscale but not pretentious. We went early 430 so it was empty yeahhhh! The food was very enjoyable steak was not cooked exactly how I wanted it in terms of doneness but I still enjoyed it. Salad was yum, soup yum lol bread and butter warm and nicely whipped. Service attentive, music elegant vibe. When people started To roll in at 6pm ...The atmosphere changed intresting to see who the patrons where. Anyway, dessert we had one of everything I really liked the cheesecake and mini bread pudding....and the fruits.

Selena was the best server we perhaps have ever had. Caring, attentive, personal. She made us feel beyond considered and I could tell she had the same level of care for all of her tables as she moved around the restaurant. A true professional. And as a plus…the food was PHENOMENAL!!! 12/10 Ruth’s Chris experience!

My girlfriend and I celebrated Valentine’s Day here and it was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish, the staff gave us a rose which was a sweet touch. We began with the voodoo shrimp perfectly crispy with that addictive sweet and spicy kick that hits just right without overpowering the shrimp itself. The mushroom stuffed with crab meat was honestly one of the most delicate and beautifully flavored crab dishes we’ve had. The crab was tender, fresh, and seasoned to perfection, rich but not heavy, letting the natural sweetness shine through. For the main, we ordered the USDA ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was outstanding. It arrived on a sizzling plate, creating that mouthwatering sound that instantly builds anticipation. The steak was cooked exactly as requested, juicy, tender, and packed with deep, beefy flavor with a beautiful sear on the outside. The sides were just as impressive. The potato au gratin was creamy, cheesy, and indulgent with a perfectly golden top, while the Brussels sprouts were cooked beautifully, caramelized, flavorful, and a great savory balance to the richness of the steak. To finish, we had the molten lava cake and the creme brulee. The lava cake was decadent with a warm, flowing center that paired perfectly with the ice cream. The creme brulee was exceptional silky smooth custard with a perfectly torched sugar crust, and you could see and taste the real powdered vanilla bean throughout, which elevated it to another level. The entire evening felt special, romantic, and thoughtfully executed. Incredible food, beautiful presentation, and an unforgettable Valentine’s dinner. We’ll definitely be back. ❤️

The food was incredible, and my steak was cooked exactly how I like it—juicy, full of flavor, and spot on. Every bite hit the mark. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Kim was outstanding - easily one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. She was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell she really cares about her work and the people she’s serving. Great service like that makes a difference - I’ll definitely be coming back to eat here! Thank you Kimberley!

Came here for my birthday, was not disappointed! We particularly love the scallops and their salmon here, melts in your mouth, feels really fresh and taste quite a bit nicer than your average sushi place. And of course with great quality and service comes a greater price tag, more on the pricier side, but not outrageously expensive. We sat on the floating sushi boat bar, and the quality of the sushi is still very good, despite not being made right out from the kitchen, still tasted fresh. Also tried the Udon and wasn’t disappointed, the broth especially smells really nice. Would definitely come back on special occasions!
heyyoumen1 - 7 years ago

The service and quality of the food we received was great. It was a little on the pricier side but worth it. The experience was great especially seeing their rotating sushi boat system. I would highly recommend this place if you want fast service and quality food.
Janice J - 8 years ago

Quite an expensive place. But it’s a fun experience to sit around a turning table full of boats on water carrying sushi. They also have a menu where you can order more expensive items like the fatty tuna. The fatty tuna sushi is quite nice, but the sashimi is not that fat. Meaning it’s a lower quality cut of the tuna.
Wen Z - 7 years ago

Fun experience with decent sushi but lacking in that wow factor for the price. You are paying a premium for the experience of having one of, if not, the only conveyor belt boat sushi restaurant experiences in Toronto. Service was satisfactory and attentive but expected for the price. Sushi variety was average with some exotic options and a range of drink and sake selections at all price points. Each plate is between $4.50 to $8.50 for two pieces, on average. Higher priced items like uni are also available. The uni was tasty enough but not from Japanese waters. I would return annually for the floating boat (Fune) experience, not for the price or quality of fish.
Bryan Crisp - 7 years ago

For sushi that's high quality and consistently good, come here. The floating sushi bar is cool and the selection that comes around is great. And if you want something that doesn't float on by, just order it off the menu. Service here has always been great during all my visits. The waitresses are prompt and attentive and the food comes out quickly. Prices here are reasonable too considering the quality you're getting. This isn't your all-you-can-eat quality here. Overall, one of the best sushi options in the city in my opinion. And considering this place has been around since the early 90s, others must think so too.

It's been years since I've eaten here and it still tastes just as good as it did before. While this place was never a cheap spot to eat, I've had more than enough poutine to eat it for both lunch and dinner if you buy the "large". So far, Smoke's still has my overall favourite poutine in the city.
Kevin D - 4 months ago

Absolutely fantastic for quick, late night poutine. Tons of options, huge servings, and for a pretty good price. While it may not be the best poutine you will ever have, and service can take a bit longer when it’s busy, I think it is great for what it is. I recommend.
Nic - 3 weeks ago

Needed to try poutine on my trip to Toronto and was given only one recommendation.. Smoke's. The menu is excellent with choices for everyone. We got vegetarian and meat options as well as the original poutine. Service was decent enough and friendly. This location isn't very accessible friendly or stroller friendly but we made it work. Overall a nice experience.

Food is mid have ordered everything here and it’s unimpressive especially for the price and the damn attitude servers have, gnocchi is the best pasta, the branzino is good but still kinda mid they need to revamp their menu, Brussel sprouts are good, calamari is nice on the safe side, I like the burrata salad but it’s straight up something you can make at home pear arugula burrata and balsamic vinegar not impressive at all, wine selection is fairly nice, overall service upstairs needs improvement always feels like a pain when you’re trying to order for some reason from some servers I don’t want to name and they always got some type of attitude like we don’t pay for a membership… makes me not want to eat here, just want to mention the way they just run off without caring about you is ridiculous… don’t pay attention to you as you sit down, asked to move to another table and said they had a few parties coming in, spent over 2 hours eating here with my group and no one came in…. Disappointed at the service. Downstairs I’ve had way better experiences but upstairs every time is just unbearable, go somewhere else if you want good service, good food..

I was treated by my niece to experience the food at SoHo and the food was superb. The chef that evening from the upcoming Kusi restaurant nailed some of the filipino vibes in his dishes. Did not disappoint. The deserts were phenomenal as well. My favourite was the mango float.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! Way back since 1978 (when my atoms hadn't even assembled yet), Queen Mother has been slinging out their Ping Hai that makes your palate sing. Moist and tender chicken thigh deeply marinated in a mix of garlic, coriander, black pepper, spices and grilled for a savory char. Salad greens tossed in a mild vinaigrette, moist steamed rice, and a refreshing lime-coriander dipping sauce complement the chicken for a complete meal. Handheld and easy to demolish, the pita sandwiches a filling of grilled chicken breast and mixed vegetables, tossed with mellow peanut sauce dressing. The salads don’t stop there; this time, minced chicken is mixed with aromatic herbs, lettuce, red onions, peanuts and nutty toastiness from toasted rice powder, with cucumber slices on the side. Their house sambal was a worthy addition - fresh, smoky and packed with mild heat.

What an interesting unassuming spot! I came in with no expectations and ordered a bunch of stuff: - Dim sum quartet: So yummy! Lots of filling, well cooked, pretty good - Chicken and Shrimp Bah Me Hang: It’s sorta like pad thai, but the noodle’s texture was so good. Like angel hair pasta but more chewy and so delicious. I couldn’t stop eating 🤤 - Ping Gai: The chicken was so juicy and well grilled. Great seasoning. The dipping sauce was light but brought the whole meal together. A really delicious dish! This spot is great, service was fast and the food is delicious! They also have plenty of vegetarian options which i think is also wonderful 🙂

I got the pad Thai which was flavorful but too salty . My husband got a noodle soup which was very good. I love the history of the restaurant which helped the atmosphere even though it was a bit dark and basic. Service was efficient and professional without the extra warmth 😝We were told our reservation would be given away after ten minutes. Seems like a busy place.

I’ve been here twice now and I absolutely love everything. The food is amazing. I tried the arugula salad and the kale salad with chicken and they were both really good. The kale salad is my favourite. The portions are generous and the servers are really nice. The place is very cozy and it truly feels like you are visiting your grandma’s place for food. I will be coming back to try other items on the menu.

A tried and true Toronto establishment! If you’re looking for a place that captures the charm and history of Queen Street West, with good food, relaxed vibes, and a bit of soul Queen Mother Cafe is a gem worth visiting. Nestled in a 165-year-old building since, it feels like a comfortable “home away from home”. The food strikes a great balance between comforting regular dishes and bold Southeast Asian flavours, it has something for everyone, and the portions are beyond generous (the ping gai for example, will feed two). Highly recommend the pad Thai, ping gai, dumplings and samosas, but anything on the menu is excellent!
