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.

Another early Friday morning The entrance is right on York Street, not hidden inside a building, so it’s easy to find. This location is more spacious than other stores in the area and has a larger kitchen. It’s also much busier, with a nonstop lineup.

I've had an Iced Cappuccino, Latte, and a frozen lemonade. Each one had been delightful. I'll be coming back whenever I'm in America again!

Visited Tim Hortons on York Street during a busy lunch rush. The place was lively but not overwhelming. Staff were mostly friendly and efficient, though one employee seemed flustered when handling a special request. Portions felt generous for the price, and the coffee was strong. Parking was tight near the store, but the wait time was short. A small suggestion: maybe more training on handling allergies or special orders with patience—seen mixed experiences here before.

Tim Hortons for a new virgin American tourist, like myself, is like entering an alternative cultural alternate mirror universe that feels America, yet very distinctly Canadian...cheaper, cleaner, nicer, and delicious! The friendly Canadian employees get free healthcare and cheap higher education, which explains why American workers are more depressed and sad. Tim Horton's offers a great, cheap, fast, and tasty breakfast delights. $2.25CAD/$1.50USD Medium Hot Brewed Coffee...simple, satisfying, and so gawd damn cheap, love you Mr Tim Horton! $2CAD/$1.50USD Apple Fritter...pastry with diced cinnamon apples, fried to a deep golden brown, and coated in a sweet sugar glaze. $2.80CAD/$2USD Harry Potter Slytherin Chocolate Pistachio...fresh, sweet, with a lovely chocolate pistachio frosting. So cheap, so good! $5.80CAD/$4.25USD Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwich...warm, buttery croissant with a perfect amount bacon, egg, and cheese. Great value, great taste!

Great atmosphere with super lively Christmas decor! Our server lady was friendly and thoughtful. Adult meal took sometime to arrive but kids meal arrived quickly which I appreciate. Lobster poutine was absolutely delicious. I also ordered wings with coconut Thai curry sauce. The wings were not just with the curry sauce on the side but also was tossed with the curry powder. Without dipping the sauce it was already flavourful which made their wings tasty and unique. We only could find the main entrance with stairs so we had to pick up the stroller to go up and down. Overall experience was absolutely wonderful, we will go there again.

Stopping in for dinner after a concert at Scotiabank Arena turned out to be a perfect choice. We were warmly greeted the moment we walked in, and despite the busy evening, the team seated us far quicker than we expected. The menu offered a great mix of comfort favorites and house specialties, from their well‑known burgers and bowls to shareable appetizers that really set the tone for the meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed both the starters and the entrées. The atmosphere had that fun, energetic Jack Astor’s vibe, yet it was still easy to carry on a conversation. Seating options were plentiful, whether you prefer cozy booths, high‑top tables near the bar, or more open dining areas for larger groups. The service stood out all night—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A great spot to unwind after an event, with excellent food and a team that knows how to make guests feel taken care of.

Had a great time at Jack Astor’s! We enjoyed beer and wine along with a delicious burger and bruschetta. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, and the bruschetta was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect starter. Drinks were well-served and paired nicely with the meal. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a solid dining experience I’d happily come back for again!

It was quite busy and a bit loud, but the food was amazing. Our server was incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit. She made sure we were well taken care of even during the busy hours. Great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!

We were seated quickly thanks to our reservation, and the bacon cheeseburger with Caesar salad was good in both quality and portion. Unfortunately, the Fiesta salad with chicken was disappointing, the salad didn’t feel fresh and the chicken was very dry. The guacamole was fresh but felt unfinished, more like ingredients to assemble ourselves. Compared to the price, there are better options in the same area. That said, our server was very friendly and polite, she spoke with the manager to remove the salad from the bill, which we really appreciated. Overall: good service and ambiance, but food quality ranged from average to poor.

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!

Canoe is one of those Toronto restaurants where the setting genuinely becomes part of the experience. The panoramic views over the city and CN Tower are spectacular, particularly around sunset, and the dining room manages to feel elegant without becoming overly formal. The food matched the setting beautifully. We particularly enjoyed the oysters, which were exceptionally fresh, as well as the fish course, beautifully cooked and well balanced. Desserts were another highlight, both in presentation and flavour. The menu has a strong Canadian identity while still feeling contemporary and refined. Service throughout the evening was attentive, knowledgeable and well paced, giving us plenty of time to enjoy both the food and the view. A memorable Toronto dining experience and somewhere I would absolutely recommend for a special evening in the city.

Gorgeous seat at the window, extremely calm and high style room, comfy seating, and an attentive staff make this resto a classic. Lunch today from the summerlicious menu was terrific. Plated beautifully, interesting tastes, textures, colours, and choices. I had a mushroom soup and loved the rich flavour and lovely texture, next the tuna was heavenly. A bit too soupy for my taste, after a soup, but gorgeous flavour. To finish, I kept it simple with a cheese plate. Lovely. Can't recommend the experience more highly.
Michael Anthony - 2 months ago

A great visit for the views alone. Food was good but nothing really stood out for me. Steak was cooked perfectly for medium rare, but it lacked flavor. Would definitely recommend this for a summerlicious, but I don't know if I would go again
Dominic - 2 months ago

Outstanding restaurant for an enchanting evening. The view is simply phenomenal. A smorgasbord for the senses. Michelle, our server, expertly blended professionalism with approachability. Hats off to her. The food was fine but nothing knocked our socks off, although there was a traditional pie dessert that was sublime. The lamb and halibut were well prepared but not exceptional. That said I would return to Canoe. On balance it is a restaurant you do not want to miss.

Kristen in the front and Jesús at the table were extremely helpful as the rest of the staff. I came here with family (3 adults, myself, and a toddler) They were accommodating, the food was delicious. I came here as a celebration for my graduation, and they had customized notes and all staff had known about it and congratulated me. It's my family's first time in Toronto, and they loved it here.

Look, after a brutal, high-intensity week in the financial district, I don’t want to sit in a quiet room and sip a micro-dose of organic wine. I need cold drinks, massive portions & a place with enough noise to completely drown out my work thoughts. The Loose Moose has been my absolute go-to spot near Union Station for exactly that reason. The scale of this place is massive. It is loud, unapologetic & has a raw, high-velocity energy that hits you the second you walk through the door. It’s the quintessential sports hub - screens everywhere showing the game, a massive central bar structure & a crowd that’s always down for a good time. If you are looking for a delicate, intimate candle-lit vibe, you are in the completely wrong zip code. What makes this place a statistical anomaly in the best way is their tap selection. They have over 80 varieties of beer on tap—easily one of the largest rosters in downtown Toronto. The turnover rate is high, so the lines are exceptionally clean and the pours are consistently fresh and crisp. I usually go for a local Ontario IPA or an amber ale, and the bartenders handle the immense weekend volume like absolute machines. You are never standing around waiting for a drink. The kitchen doesn't cut corners on fuel either. The food is heavy, savory & engineered for maximum recovery after a long day. Their chicken wings are elite tier - massive, perfectly crispy skin & actually tossed in proper, high-impact sauces, not just lightly drizzled. Pair that with a mountain of their loaded nachos, and you have the perfect setup for a long sports night with a big group of colleagues. It’s big, it’s chaotic & it runs with the efficiency of a well-oiled machine. When you want to drop the corporate facade, watch the game & get a proper, no-nonsense pub experience in the core of the city, this is the ultimate destination. Absolute powerhouse of a bar.

The burger was chargrilled, juicy and flavorful. We tried poutine for the first time. I got the regular poutine and my husband got the truffle poutine. It was really good and very filling. I would recommend dining at the Loose Moose. We will be back on our next trip to Toronto.

Stopped by yesterday for lunch and had a great experience. I ordered the fish & chips with a Ducks IPA, and both were excellent — crispy, flavourful, and exactly the kind of straightforward meal that hits the spot. What stood out most was the atmosphere. The place has this easy, lived‑in energy that feels welcoming without trying too hard. It’s busy in a good way, with a mix of locals, office workers, and people just enjoying their day. There’s a warmth to the space that makes it feel familiar even on a first visit. Service was relaxed and friendly, and the whole experience felt effortless. It’s the kind of spot you remember not just for the food, but for the vibe — comfortable, unpretentious, and genuinely enjoyable. I’d definitely come back.

The atmosphere and the service here are amazing. The food is actually five star worthy, however when we arrived the drinks were slightly watered down. For that, and only that, I'm giving this establishment a four out of five. This is still a place that I highly recommend.
Vonn Forlock - 5 months ago

Good place to drink beer and watch a game on the big screens. Tried the Buffalo Fried Chicken Express Lunch Special. Enjoyed the sandwich. Would recommend getting the side salad instead of the fries otherwise it’s too much fried food. Menu is more limited than their neighbours/partners Jack Astors.

The food was quite tasty, and the fish & chips stood out as the best dish on the menu. I'm interested in trying their pies next time. The place is spacious with plenty of tables. On Saturday evening, there was a line, but they handled it efficiently and without much delay. The bar was crowded, so the staff was really busy, and we had to ask twice for what we needed. Nevertheless, I didn't mind the wait. Generally, we enjoyed our time there!

We stopped here prior to a Sunday matinee at the Princess of Wales theatre. We were actually headed to a different restaurant when we spotted Elephant & Castle and quicky changed our plan. We have been to the Washington DC location in the past and greatly enjoyed it. Turns out the Toronto location is great as well! I think our waitress's name was Evelyn and she was outstanding. Very pleasant and indulgent, listening to our questions about the music being played and complements on the special World Cup accessories in the men's loo. We both got fish and chips and I was thrilled they have brown sauce (HP) to go with it. Fish was tasty and the chips as well. Even the slaw was good and I rarely enjoy slaw. Would definitely recommend!

A great experience. Food was delicious, atmosphere was lively and modern, service was a tad lifeless but it didn’t bring down the mood too drastically, just some excitement or enthusiasm would have been nice. Mini-sausage rolls to start were the highlight, and I could probably eat 1,000 of them. Chicken sliders were a bit on the plain side but were still a welcome appetizer. The mains - a cheesy leak pie and bangers ‘n mash were very good as well, with good, strong flavours, I do just wish the latter had came with some peas. We thought the prices were incredibly reasonable given the location and quality, and we left very satisfied after arriving fairly hungry. Would return.

Absolutely phenomenal experience here last night (St. Patrick's Day)! Grabbed a bite to eat before watching the show at the Royal Alexandra Theatre next door & could not ask for a better experience. Extremely busy yet seated in less than 5 minutes & service was prompt, friendly, & super efficient. The food was incredibly delicious (it's been so long that I had an authentically delicious poutine that I just HAD to finish it ~ the gravy is AMAZING), well-portioned, & presented nicely without being overwrought. The atmosphere has an excellent blend of popular / busy yet with a cozy, intimate feel at the table. Even patrons at the bar looked like they were in midst of everything going on, yet appeared they could easily be on their own without being bothered by others. Excellent menu of various beers, wines, & spirits too. My only regret is not being able to try the dessert menu, but I was so fully satisfied by my appetizer, entrée, & beverage that I had no room left. Although I grew up in NW Toronto, I avoid going downtown whenever possible, but I'm already planning to come back down here again once the FIFA World Cup begins in June to watch a match or 2 because the atmosphere suggests it would be 2nd only to be at the match itself (& I'm not paying the going rate to attend a match in-person). Thank you, Elephant & Castle, for being such an absolutely fantastic establishment to spend a night out on the town! SLÀINTE!

saturday march 28th everything was great: food, drinks, service! my friend loves to travel to the UK and she enjoyed this experience, it was reminiscent of her nights spent in classic british pubs. we had the roasted tomato & whipped feta, brussels sprouts, and pie flight. honestly we liked our shareables more than the pies but it was fun to be able to try them all. our server was lovely and fun to talk to but unfortunately her name slips my mind. iirc she has red hair. our visit was super worth it. will be back when im craving pub fare!

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!

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.
