I had the pleasure of dining at The Keg in Toronto near the Sheraton, and it never disappoints. The service is truly top notch – attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. Every visit feels welcoming and consistent, which really sets the tone for a great evening. As always, the steak is the star of the show – perfectly cooked to order, tender, and packed with flavor. The sides and cocktails complement the meal beautifully, making it a complete dining experience. Whether it’s a business dinner, a night out, or a special occasion, The Keg is always a reliable choice. If you’re near the Sheraton and craving a quality steak with exceptional service, this location is absolutely worth a visit.

I love going to The Keg for the Keg Classics Baseball Top Sirloin which is served with choice of salad (I chose Caesar salad), sautéed mushrooms, seasonal vegetables (beets & green beans) and choice of accompaniment (I chose the garlic mashed potatoes). The first time I ever had this steak I had it med-rare (they only cook it med-rare or rarer) and it was phenomenal(!!!) and thus I converted from the prime rib to the baseball steak and now it’s all I eat at The Keg. However, I’ve been noticing lately that, regardless of location, my steak isn’t quite as great as the first time so now I’m thinking it’s time to try rare(?). So that being said, my steak was good but maybe not cooked quite to my liking. Everything else was really tasty. The service was professional and our food arrived in really good time after we placed our orders. There were 9 in our party with one of us having a birthday that day and the server was kind enough to bring us two slices of Billy Miner pie - which, of course is always so delicious! I had a red wine sangria which was really nice! All the staff that we encountered from hostess to servers and other staff in the restaurant were very warm & friendly. The atmosphere was nice - warm snd cozy, typical of The Keg.

✨ The Keg on York Street – A Memorable Experience! ✨ From the moment I stepped in, The Keg on York Street radiated such a warm and inviting vibe 🌆💫. It’s no wonder this location is so highly rated—everything from the atmosphere to the service feels top-notch. I chose to sit on the back patio 🌿🍃, which is mostly covered, making it perfect for all kinds of weather. Even if a little rain shows up ☔, you remain cozy and comfortable. That extra touch of thoughtful design really enhances the overall dining experience. And for sports fans 🏀⚽, there’s even a TV out on the patio, which adds a fun, lively element—ideal for catching a game while enjoying your meal. Now onto the food 🤤🔥… I started with the bacon-wrapped scallops 🥓🦪, and let me just say—they were absolute perfection! Perfectly cooked, tender on the inside, and crisp on the outside. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the cocktail sauce on the side was a surprising star 🌟. Normally, I’m not the biggest cocktail sauce fan, but The Keg managed to deliver a version that completely won me over. It was tangy, balanced, and paired beautifully with the scallops. The service was equally impressive 👏. Helena, who was working the bar, was incredible throughout the evening. She was not only professional and attentive but also warm, genuine, and approachable 🙌💖. She patiently answered all of my questions, making me feel truly welcomed and valued as a guest. 🌟 A huge thank-you to Helena—your hospitality elevated the entire experience to something truly memorable. 📍 Overall: The Keg on York Street is a place I’d wholeheartedly recommend whether you’re out for a casual evening, celebrating a special occasion, or just craving phenomenal food with a relaxed yet classy vibe. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the outstanding service, it’s the kind of spot that keeps you coming back again and again 🍽️🥂.

The Keg on York Street has such a great vibe—it’s easy to see why it’s so highly rated. I sat on the back patio, which is mostly covered, so even with a bit of rain, you’re still comfortable. Although Toronto’s weather has been exceptionally beautiful for the past three or four weeks, the covered patio is a nice bonus. There’s also a TV there for watching sports, which is a great touch. I ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops, and they were absolutely out of this world—cooked perfectly. The cocktail sauce served alongside was unbelievable. Even though I’m not usually a cocktail sauce fan, The Keg really nailed it. Both Ashley and Ryan, who were working the bar, did a terrific job. They were pleasant, courteous, and genuine, taking the time to answer all my questions. Thank you, Ashley and Ryan, for elevating the entire experience!

Absolutely loved our Happy Hour at The Keg🍹 The patio is huge and has such a lively vibe. Staff are all super hardworking, and Emma, our server, was truly incredible. She handled our ever-growing group with ease and made sure everyone was taken care of. Cocktails were top-notch and the food was, as always, delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot downtown🌞🥂

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.

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.

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.

Not only is this a beautiful restaurant downtown, but the food is amazing. If you’re lucky you’ll get Mimosa as a waitress and you’ll walk away feeling like you just were at a small family gathering on a Greek island. Thank you I very much enjoyed my meal with you all and thank you Mimosa for making it that much better!

Went for a girls night out during Nuit Blanche. We walked in and they found us a cute window table with ease. There was a large party which looked festive and well taken care of. We had amazing service, cocktails were yummy (Aegean Sea and Greek Margarita!), smooth and flavourful hummus and pita for appetizers but the mains were the main attraction (chicken and warm Greek seafood salad). When we go back, we will be trying other menu items. Had dessert (baklava cheesecake) and they served a complimentary mousse the birthday girl. Ended the evening with a perfect cappuccino. So happy with everything at the restaurant. Thank you Volos and staff for bringing back quality, service and value to the dining experience.

Thank you to the staff at Little Anthony's for making our night so memorable! The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. 🥰

Had the tagliatelle bolognese and the lamb ragu pappardeli. Bolognese seemed over, and wasn't that great (chilli flakes were a nice touch). The lamb ragu was alright. It took 40+ minutes for our food to arrive even though the restaurant was largely empty (less than 50% capacity) and it was over an hour before closing. The waitress seemed a bit pissy when I asked about the price of the charcuterie board, which was the only app priced per person.

Updated July 2025- One of those places we keep coming back to—and it’s firmly staying in our favorites list. This summer, they’re offering a $72 per person 3-course dinner menu, and honestly, every dish is worth ordering—just like we remembered. My personal go-to combo: calamari, stewed beef, and the tiramisu (absolute THE BEST A cozy space, soft-spoken guests, and consistently fresh, well-prepared dishes—no wonder we keep coming back. —- Just discovered the best tiramisu in town! It's so good, I'd visit just for this dessert – no exaggeration. Every dish is worth trying, from the fresh green salad to the creamy risotto. This spot is my new go-to for celebrations or when I'm feeling fancy. Perfect for a special date night with a touch of elegance. #TiramisuHeaven #CulinaryDelight #DateNightGoals

Came here the other day for dinner, it is a cute restaurant located very centrally downtown. The food was good, I had the lamb ragu along with calamari along with a bottle of Ripasso Falezza (Italian red wine), all of which I would recommend. It wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday evening and was overall a very pleasant dining experience.

The ambience is great. Restaurants blessed with a great view often have a reputation of the food not measuring up to the view. That is decidedly not the case here. We opted for the chefs tasting menu. Everything was taste great and was presented with imagination. It was a substantial amount of food. Kevin, our server was excellent. He was both personable and professional. Would definitely go back again.
Steve P. - 3 months ago

As the other reviws say, the food is completely average and over-priced but the view and service is next level. Overall,4/5 but the food definitely 3/5, so average. I wentthrough the "summerlicious" menu and had 3 options of choice: 1)appetizer, I chose the the veal tatin and it was the worst out of 3. So bad, so small, nothing fine about that. 2/5 2)main course: Striploin beef. 3/5. The beef was really pro and wow, carrot was almost raw and bland. Mashed potato below average but there was a sauce which was a real Michelin sauce, so good, so rich but so little and most of that was absorbed by mash potato. They could serve it on table. 3) lime tarte. 5/5. Flawless, takes u to Paris. Wow. Service:My server was the most polite person in Toronto and made my night. Remarkable polite and attentive. Overall 4/5 but food is not worth the price, the view and experience, yes once a while.

This was my fourth visit. It's one of my favorite restaurants, with a great view, a clean and stylish interior, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I used to really enjoy their tasting menu, but this time it didn’t leave the same impression. The plating and presentation are still beautiful, but the flavors felt less inspiring. Perhaps the slightly high price also influenced my feeling. Since being listed as a Michelin‑recommended restaurant in 2022, something seems to have changed, and I felt a little sad about that.

I first went to Canoe for my birthday in February 2022, and went back again in September 2025. Cable's claim to fame is definitely the amazing view of downtown Toronto, the islands, and Lake Ontario beyond, and the view alone makes the trip up to the 54th floor worthwhile. The highlight of my latest trip to Canoe was definitely the desserts. Although staff were very friendly, it did seemed like they were busy/rushed at times. Experience was different back in 2022, where it seemed like we got more frequent service, but I also question if I just look more fondly back on my previous trip due to nostalgia and it being my birthday celebration.

I had the pleasure of visiting a restaurant that truly deserves its Michelin star, and I must say that my expectations were not only met but exceeded! From the moment I walked in, I felt special – the elegant decor and cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting for a feast for the senses. The service was top-notch; every staff member radiated professionalism and a smile, making me feel genuinely appreciated as a guest. The speed of serving the dishes was impressive, yet I could sense that each meal was prepared with the utmost care. Now, about the food... The flavors were absolutely exquisite. Each dish was a true work of art that not only delighted the eyes but also exploded with taste. I felt honored to be able to try these culinary masterpieces. Cleanliness and attention to detail also deserve recognition. In such a place, every element is well thought out, which only confirms that the restaurant indeed meets the highest standards. In summary, my visit to this restaurant was an unforgettable culinary experience. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional flavors and professional service. This is a place that will remain in my memory for a long time! 💋💋💋

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!

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

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

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.
