Very nice restaurant for steak fine dinner. We made a reservation at 6:45pm two days ago and were seated immediately upon arrival. The waitress was very nice, welcoming and helpful. We asked for suggestions of red wine to go with our steak dinner. She suggested local red wine, which turned out very good. We ordered four prime ribs, three medium rare and one medium, and the cooking was just good. The meat was very tendered and juicy. It was a very nice dinning experience. For a bottle of red wine, two appetizers, and four prime rids, we only paid less than $400. Highly recommended.

Table for 8 and tried the 8oz sirloin with a lobster, it was great! Lobster was a bit on the smaller portion, but was flavourful. Steak was cooked well and tender. Got to try three different dessert. Crème brûlée, definitely the go to. The cheesecake, probably skip this. The miller cake, can be for 2-3 people and worth it. Great service and definitely a solid consistent chain restaurant.

I've been to two other downtown locations of The Keg (Esplanade & KIng West), this is hands down by far the best out of the three both in terms of food and service. Food: I got the 18oz prime rib, it was juicy (unlike the dry one I got at the Esplanade location). As usual, the highlights of the meal were the bread and the dessert (got the Billy Miner pie). Service: I found table maintenance to be a real issue at the two other locations but Ted was so on top of it. He cleared our wine glasses as soon as we told them we're not ordering wine. He cleared all our plates and even crumbed our table before dropping dessert menus. Our water carafe was never empty. Dessert plate was cleared before the bills were brought. These are small little details that were absent from my visits in the two other locations. Bravo Ted. While I do find The Keg to be a bit pricey for my spending habits, this is the first time where I feel like I'm getting good value from both the food and service.

I recently dined alone at this location of The Keg Steakhouse on York Street. My life partner and I have visited this place over the years. My server Chantal recognized me and asked about my partner. I mentioned that he had passed suddenly in April of this year 2025. I was returning by myself as part of a tribute to him soon as this was the first time I was dining without him. The meal was excellent. My obligatory baseball steak was cooked to perfection. Upon presenting my bill to me I noted that there was a $0.00 balance. I was very moved by this kind gesture on the part of my server and The Keg Steakhouse on York Street. Much appreciated ☺️

The Keg never disappoints, and today was no exception. We arrived on a very cold day in Toronto, and were graciously welcomed at the bar by Dianna and Emma. They were incredibly kind, courteous, and genuine, all the things you want in a server. Besides the five star service we received, the food was absolutely outstanding, and a real hit. Thank you, Dianna and Emma, for the amazing service and a truly memorable experience. -Mark

Okay, I know it’s not groundbreaking, but it is Canada, and Timmy’s hits the spot every time. Okay, yes, it’s a Canadian classic, but it really does hit the spot. We grabbed coffee and donuts more than once, and it was always affordable and reliable.Some locations had a few characters hanging around, but hey, that’s city life. Still totally worth it for the iced coffee and old-fashioned donuts.

Where sophistication meets ingenuity. Only Tim’s I have been to that serves a croissant with the lower half wrapped in paper, highly sophisticated activities indeed. Dare I say superior to other nearby franchisees. Also Tim’s is large and clean.

I feel like the food here is always hit or miss watched two people walk out with full plates left on their table, but also watched random ppl after they left steal one of the chicken tenders I guess for them it was not great, but hopefully for the tender theives it was. For me however it was pretty generally good, barring on middling bar food. Can't go wrong with it.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice. The quality of the food here is incredibly good. I ordered chicken Pad Thai and asked for it specifically made spicy, they really did bring the heat. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients. Furthermore the service here is friendly and warming. Our waitor Mark was friendly and professional. Thank you for another excellent meal.

Jack Astor’s on Front Street is one of the best spots in downtown Toronto. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, making you feel comfortable whether you’re there with a big group or just stopping by for a quick meal. The restaurant itself is very spacious, with a huge indoor dining area, a lively bar, and a great patio when the weather is nice. The atmosphere is clean, upbeat, and sporty it’s the kind of place that works for any occasion. Whether you’re meeting friends for a gathering, enjoying a casual date night, or just want to grab a drink at the bar while watching the game, it’s always a fun environment. Being right across from the arena makes it extra convenient before or after a concert or sporting event. The food is good especially the memphis steak, which is always cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Pair that with a good drink and the lively energy of the place, and you’ve got a go-to downtown spot that never disappoints.

We booked a table here for our group to have lunch before a theatre production at the Royal Alexandra. I'm very glad we booked in advance as there was a huge line to get in without one. Jays game brought a lot of people to the restaurant for a pre-game meal. Service was not too bad, especially considering how busy it was inside too. Very chaotic, just trying to get to washroom, people bumping into each other, packed in tables...I get it, space is crucial to fit as many people in as possible. I ordered a grilled chicken and goat cheese wrap with a ceaser salad. The meal was good, more than I needed and I couldn't take leftovers. The volume of the music made it difficult to hear our table conversation, with just 6 of us at the table, I was glad to leave.

Volos Greek Cuisine is one of my favorite downtown spots in Toronto for having a dinner that will surely impress your date, business partner or family. The atmosphere is a mix of traditional Greek styling with a modern twist, the Volos is easily one of my favorite spots in downtown Toronto. If you need to impress a date or client, this is the place. The decor is a great mix of modern and traditional, and the service is excellent. ​The food is outstanding—the steak was cooked to perfection, and the grilled octopus was fantastic. However, the service logistics could be better. Many dishes are meant for sharing, yet we were given regular spoons instead of proper serving utensils. Also, the saganaki needs a much larger portion of bread to go with it!

I was craving seafood and then found this restaurant. The warm seafood salad just became my favorite dish. Every bites of that was well balanced. Thanks for this BOH team to make the best seafood meal. I will definitely recommend my friends to visiting.

If I had to describe this restaurant in one word, it would be - mediocre. We went for dinner a couple of weeks back. The hostess was very pleasant and had us seated. Good start. Now for the not so good Volos is priced as a higher end restaurant. The first impression one gets is the decor. We were seated near the kitchen. Where it was quite ordinary. The ceiling was open and you could see the vents and wiring. Average looking chairs. With the prices Volos charges, decor should be a factor. The biggest disappointment was our server. We planned to share several appetizers rather than ordering mains. Her face visibly fell when she heard that. We ended up ordering over 5 appetizers over the course of the evening, so it wasn't a cheap evening. Plus dessert. However, our server never stopped by after taking our initial drink and dinner order. So much so that we had to ask another server to get us more drinks. At which she magically reappeared at our table with the drinks. The food itself was also mediocre. Pantheon, in the Danforth, is so much better. For the prices they charge, you are much better off going to other $$$ restaurants in the downtown area.

I recently visited Volo’s Greek Restaurant with my family for a birthday celebration, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding — the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The food was absolutely amazing — every dish was full of flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was served beautifully and on time. We had such a lovely time, and I’m already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend Volos for anyone looking for authentic Greek food.

It’s a nice place for dining. The service was quick and appropriate. The food quality was great. But, I’d like to see more Mediterranean options.

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!

What a lovely restaurant and staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the friendly staff. The staff was chatty and offered suggestions on the dinner options. This was an early Christmas gift for my niece - dinner and the ballet, and Little Anthony’s delicious food and wonderful staff helped create a lasting memory.

Im surprised by some of the reviews but all I can do is report on what I experienced. Business dinner on a rainy weeknight. Maybe half full. Very good service and friendly staff. I thought the wine and food was all well above average. Apps were a bit pricey but the beet salad was delish. Lamb chops were plentiful and properly cooked. Seafood risotto was large and tasty. Branzino was also delicious. Food was hot. Mains were decently priced (for Toronto). Atmosphere was good for a business meeting but there were couples on dates too. Id go again for sure.

The Verdict: Is it worth it? ​Yes, especially for groups or dates. The atmosphere is upscale yet quiet enough for real conversation, which is a rare find in the core. ​Quick Highlights ​The Food: High quality and consistently good. ​Value: Mains: Reasonably priced for the quality/location (typically $30–$50 range). ​Appetizers: On the pricier side for the portion size. ​Atmosphere: Chic and comfortable. It’s a "low-noise" environment, making it an excellent choice for a romantic evening or a business dinner where you actually need to hear each other. ​The Service Experience: ​The service is a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff is friendly, you might encounter the "Upsell": Some servers can be quite aggressive in pushing the most expensive specials or premium wine pairings (the "used car salesperson" vibe). ​Attentiveness: Inconsistent. You might find yourself waiting for a refill or the check while the server is busy with the "hard sell" at another table. ​The Parking Trap: Being at Richmond and York, nearby lot prices are notoriously high (often $25–$35 for a few hours). ​Pro Tip: If you want to save on parking, check the Green P at Nathan Phillips Square (110 Queen St W). It’s about a 5-minute walk but can save you $10–$15 compared to the private lots immediately adjacent to the restaurant.

Went for drinks with a few of people. You pay for the atmosphere here. It is pretty pricey. Drinks costing about $24 and were average to below average for that regardless of price. . The restaurant itself is stunning with panoramic views of the Toronto Skyline high on the 54th floor. service was impeccable overall great atmosphere and a nice place to lounge or go on a date

Our recent dining experience at Canoe was exceptional. We began the evening in the bar area for cocktails before being escorted to the main dining room, where we were seated at a window table offering remarkable views of downtown Toronto. The cuisine was both delicious and artfully presented. Our group commenced the meal with appetizers of burrata, beet salad and warm sourdough bread with butter. All of which were simply exquisite. For the main course, we selected the tuna and the lamb. These dishes were elegantly plated, with the exceptional taste serving as the only true rival to their visual appeal. To accompany our entrées, we enjoyed the pommes frites served with truffle mayonnaise, which was a superb complement to our meal. Dessert offered a perfect conclusion, with our selections including the cheese plate, white chocolate cheesecake, and screeched tarte au sucre, paired with Port and Scotch. The service, however, was perhaps the most distinguished element of the evening, thanks to our server, Stephen. He provided an elevated dining experience from start to finish, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of food and wine. Stephen managed our requests with professionalism and remarkable ease, all while engaging us in conversation on various topics with a refreshing and engaging sense of humor. It was a memorable and truly first-class evening.

We ordered the striploin, medium rare. The cook on this was strange almost like sous vide, it didnt bring out any flavour of the steak and was very gristley - I took the rest home and pan fried it and immediately tasted way better and the gristles were not a problem either. For $90 I expected this dish to be more sucessful, the potatoe pave was not cripsy and smushed together. We enjoyed the burrata and beets appetizer, interesting presenation. I got the meringue, which looked beautiful, but the taste could be improved. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a card but could not even comp one of desserts. I guess you really just come here for the view (which we came on a rainy day) food did not wow for the price.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING It was my Birthday and everything was Just Exquisite. Even though the vibes was just casual The Service and the Food And the View just made it feel like I’m Living my Carrie Bradshaw Fantasy. The Kale Pesto buratta with toasted Sourdough. iconic Plate. Simple, Flavorful and just Correct. It was a Play of Texture which is always a Vibe The Charcuterie board was Great, its a Charcuterie board, we were expecting cheese though. But it was really good, although i feel like Its much easier to eat the olives if they were Pitted- maybe just a Preference The OYSTER is very fresh it melts in your Mouth and its just that Good. Especially with the Sriracha sauce. White chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sorbet and Pistachio creme. SEXY! the balance between the tartness of the sorbet the cuts through the sweetness of the cheesecake and grounding the flavor with the Nuttiness of the Pistachio . CHEFS KISS All In all COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF IS NOT ENOUGH ITS THAT GOOD. -zowe

I had an outstanding dining experience at Canoe in the TD building. From the moment you step off the elevator, the atmosphere is elevated by breathtaking views of downtown Toronto. The setting feels refined yet welcoming, making it perfect for both business dinners and special occasions. The service was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. The staff took the time to explain the menu highlights and made excellent wine pairing recommendations, which really enhanced the meal. The food itself was creative and beautifully presented. Each dish showcased fresh Canadian ingredients prepared with precision and artistry. The flavors were balanced and memorable, from the appetizers to the main course.

Loose Moose / Antler Room is our go-to gathering spot downtown. The vibe is lively without being chaotic, perfect for catching up over great drinks and comfort food. We love the rotating taps, creative cocktails, and shareables—wings, nachos, and sliders never miss. Staff are upbeat and on the ball, even when it’s packed, and there’s always a good playlist (plus plenty of screens for game nights). Whether it’s a quick after-work meet or a longer hang with friends, it always feels easy, fun, and welcoming. Our downtown default—for good reason.

Visited The Loose Moose recently and had a pretty good experience overall. The place has a lively and energetic atmosphere — perfect for a casual night out with friends. The ambience was excellent, with a rustic pub-style vibe, great music, and a welcoming crowd. It’s the kind of spot that feels vibrant without being overwhelming. I ordered the Calamari and Nachos to start with. The nachos were definitely the highlight — served in a good portion size, well-layered with cheese, toppings, and accompanied by fresh dips. They were crisp, flavorful, and great for sharing. The calamari, however, was disappointing. It came out as small fried rings, and the portion felt underwhelming for the price. It lacked the texture and flavor you'd expect from a good calamari dish. Honestly, it felt like a bit of a waste of money, especially when compared to the quality of other items on the menu. That said, the service was fantastic — the staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to check in and bring everything out in good time. It really helped elevate the overall experience. If you’re going for the vibe, drinks, and pub classics like nachos or wings, Loose Moose is a solid pick. Just be mindful when trying some of the smaller appetizer items. I’d still recommend it and would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

Wed night walk-in and we decided to sit at the bar to grab a quick bite and libations. Amy at the bar was cute and friendly and we stuck with local lagers which included Canadian Lager and Moosehead Lager - both really easy to drink. For food, I got the Spicy Mexican Rice Bowl ($21.21) with Tofu tossed in Buffalo sauce - Amy's recommendation to toss the Tofu with something, and that did the magic! Big portion size, but good on flavor. I couldn't finish the plate though! Noise levels got louder as the night progressed and it was kind of difficult to have a conversation while seated at the bar. Perfect place if you are looking for some good drinks and bar eats!

After a day trip to Niagara Falls, I hopped on the two-hour train back to Toronto, arriving at Union Station around 7:45 pm. Hungry, thirsty, and in need of a good spot, I wandered just 150 meters from the station — and there it was: The Loose Moose. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I’d stumbled upon a gift from the gods. I ordered their loaded nachos with extra guacamole, plus BBQ chicken. My friend went for the “Woods” Burger. Every bite was spot on — fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The sauces they serve with each dish aren’t just an afterthought; they elevate the whole experience. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and the staff are nothing short of excellent — friendly, attentive, and quick to make you feel at home. Then there are the beers. If anyone doubts Canada’s brewing game, The Loose Moose is the place to set them straight. The variety and quality on tap are impressive, with something for every taste. Whether you’re just off the train or exploring downtown, this spot delivers on food, drink, and good vibes. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

We came here before we went to the leafs game. Good vibe in here & our server was very kind & knowledgeable. Rubbed us the wrong way that they were shutting down the entire restaurant at 6:15 for the games playing when they have a full upstairs as well as downstairs. Other than that, our food was good!

For those looking for a pub with a distinctly English vibe, good beer and food options, all in Downtown, the Elephant is definitely a good choice. The pub has excellent access via the Yellow and Green Metro lines, depending on your area, and is also right across from the King Street streetcar lines. The pub is located in one of the city's historic buildings and exudes elegance. It has three areas: a patio area for spring and summer and a pet-friendly area, the main dining room, and the first-floor dining room. They have a main entrance on King Street, which features a staircase, and an entrance on Simcoe Street, which has a swinging door and ample space for disabled patrons and those using wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. And speaking of accessibility, the ground floor restrooms are adapted for disabled guests, with grab bars and spring-loaded doors. Unfortunately, they don't have a Braille menu, but they are always ready to assist. I've visited most of the time during St. Patrick's Day, and they have a great vibe and excellent customer service. Everything is decorated to introduce you to the culture. The pub's menu is excellent, with good options and well-prepared dishes. The prices are not far from other pubs in the area. The service is friendly and attentive. It's worth a visit.

Had lunch on a Sunday afternoon with my wife before watching a show. The restraunt is very big with tons of seating, also there is a few tables outside. Great location close to the Mirvish theatre's. Typical pub food as and atmosphere with many TVs and sports on. Our server was friendly and service was fast, restaurant also wasn't busy, we were there early. My wife had the fish tacos which looked amazing, they were good but great, little bland, the hot sauce that came with them was fantastic! I had the blue cheese bacon Burger and fries, the burger had a nice flavor but was a little dry...the fries were amazing! Big chunky fries with a really great seasoning. There are many beers on tap and a huge drink menu. I think this place would be a great spot for watching sports with your buddies!

Last week I was in Toronto for business and stopped here for lunch. My colleague and I were seated in the bar area in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant, overall, was very clean and tidy, including the restrooms. I ordered the Shepherd’s Pie with a side Caesar salad and a bowl of the Ale and Onion soup. The food came out hot and was very good. The bartender was busy waiting on a table of 10, but was still attentive to our table and made sure we were taken care of. I would definitely come here again the next time I am in Toronto!

We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The wait was under five minutes before we were seated. It did take a while for our food to arrive, though. We ordered the bacon & bleu cheese burger with Caesar salad, the shepherd’s pie with chips, and the BBQ chicken wings (in hindsight, I wish I had chosen a different sauce). I'm not usually a fan of burgers, but this one was really good—definitely worth trying!

Came here before going to a show at the Royal Alexandra. It was quite busy but our server was great. We had some cocktails and then split the wee pie flight and ale and onion soup. The pies were really great, however the shepherds pie was a bit dry. Adding a little broth from the soup helped to liven up the dish.

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 - 7 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 - 6 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 - 6 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.
