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.

Few days ago we hosted a work function at this location and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. Jill, the manager, held two excellent spaces for us while we made our decision, which we really appreciated. We ultimately chose the spacious patio area, which turned out to be the perfect setting for our group. Our servers, Stacey and Maleah, were absolutely fantastic. They were attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the entire event. They truly elevated the experience. Will request them again at the next event if possible. This Keg location has absolutely earned our return business, and we will not hesitate to book here again for our next company event. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host a group function!

I made a 6:30 PM Saturday reservation at The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - York Street to celebrate an anniversary, and overall it was a wonderful experience. We were seated within about 5 minutes of arriving, and our request for a more private booth was fully accommodated, which really set the tone for a more intimate evening. Our server, Hemen, was fantastic—attentive without being overbearing. He checked in frequently, offered helpful recommendations, and made sure we were genuinely enjoying everything throughout the night. To drink, we had a 9oz Cathedral Cellar wine and an extra sour margarita—both great choices. We started with the house bread and butter, followed by an iceberg wedge salad and the beef carpaccio from their winter grill menu. Both starters were fresh and flavorful. For our mains, we ordered the T-bone steak with a double-baked potato and cowboy butter on top. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare—exactly what you want from a classic steakhouse—and did not disappoint. To finish, we were pleasantly surprised with their signature Billy Miner Pie brought out for our anniversary. While there wasn’t any writing on the plate to mark the occasion, the gesture was still appreciated and a nice way to end the evening. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a classic, intimate dinner or a special celebration in downtown Toronto.

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.

It just needs a new revamp and update with the team.. A lot of Tim Hortons including this establishment, have been consistently giving very watery or undercooked meals which could eventually leave to underlying health issues for some. This is why I’m genuinely concerned as health & safety protocols aren’t always being used and it’s clearly shown on what you get and how they respond to you either via Drive thru or in store purchasing, just a friendly reminder

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!

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.

We dined here after a Leafs game, it was a very pleasant experience with great food and love the atmosphere. I ordered the Chicken Parm and side salad, and while the quality of the food was genuinely good—it was delicious and well-prepared—I felt the portion size wasn't adequate, especially given the price point. ​The restaurant's standout feature was the ambiance. The Christmas decorations were lovely, and the overall vibes were nice and welcoming. Everything about the decor contributed to a great setting. ​However, the main area for improvement was the service. Our server was minimal at best and very inattentive. We barely saw him throughout the meal, and it was difficult to get drink refill. While the food was good enough to offset some of the frustration, the lack of attentiveness definitely took away from the overall experience. ​In summary, delicious food and a wonderful, festive atmosphere. I would recommend it for the quality of the meal and the decorations alone, but focus on improving the attentiveness of the wait staff and. 4/5 stars.

Whoa, this place is an absolute zoo on game night! We arrived at prime time (6 p.m.) before a 7 p.m. Leafs game, and there were lineups everywhere. It wasn’t immediately clear where we were supposed to stand, but once staff connected with us, they moved quickly and got us seated faster than we expected. The atmosphere is fast-paced, loud, and energetic; definitely game-night vibes. The décor is trendy, with Rolling Stones magazine covers and album art lining the walls. It feels lively and modern. Space is tight, though. We had to squeeze our way past other tables, which felt a little chaotic. That said, they absolutely nailed the timing. We told them we needed to eat quickly before heading to the game, and they had us in and out in 45 minutes. It’s only about a 7-minute walk to the arena, which is super convenient. Our food arrived quickly, which was impressive. However, we barely saw our server after ordering. Our table was missing basics like salt, pepper, and vinegar, and we had to flag down other staff to get them. By the time everything arrived, our fries were cold (and I’m definitely someone who likes hot fries.) If you’re heading there before a game, I’d strongly suggest looking at the menu ahead of time or while you’re waiting for your table. Having our order ready definitely helped speed things up. The spinach dip was disappointing. We expected something thick and cheesy, but it was quite watery and came with only a small handful of chips; there was far more dip than chips. A tiny sprinkle of feta on top didn’t add much. At over $20, it felt very overpriced, and I wouldn’t order it again. Overall, the food was just “okay” but filling. For four people: one Coke, one iced tea, four handheld sandwiches, and two appetizers; the bill was close to $175. For the value, and considering how many other restaurant options there are nearby, I’m not sure we’d choose to return. I was impressed by the speed of service in terms of food timing, but that was the highlight. Also worth noting: this location is not wheelchair accessible. There are stairs at the entry, and the bathrooms are downstairs.

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.

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!

Mimosa was awesome! She had a great sense of when to check in and when to give us space. We never felt rushed or ignored (we were having a business meeting). Her recommendations were solid and all of the food was great! Everything just felt easy and well taken care of, we’ll be back (this was our first time) at Volos :)

Food is really good. We got the ragu papardele and the chicken skewer dinner. Food disappeared before the server could do his first check in. The chicken soup and the flamiz cheese dishes for aps are also highly recommended. Only reason why they didnt get a 5 star is the dessert menu could have been better.

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.

This is my favorite greek restaurant in downtown Toronto. The food is great (especially saganaki), staff is friendly, pleasant atmosphere, and it's reasonably priced given the quality. It's also quiet, which works really well for business meetings.

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.
FeedMeena - 7 months ago

Little Anthony's lives up to its online reviews. The tuna tartare is fresh and beautifully seasoned; Anthony's salad is basically a burrata dish; the pasta is very al dente (the lamb ragu deserves a special shout-out, as does the mushroom papardelle); and the hazelnut gelato was smooth and fragrant. This is a lovely choice for any special occasion.

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!! :)

The seafood risotto was perfectly creamy and loaded with fresh seafood, and the tagliatelle bolognese was rich and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and attentive, and everything was excellent. This place honestly deserves a higher rating. We will definitely be back!

Canoe was incredible! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they had a nice little card on our table. All of the staff were friendly, knowledge about the menu, and made us feel very special. The food was incredible. We ordered the scallop en croute, which was the best scallop that I have ever had. For entres we ordered the stuffed lamb saddle and the wild bc halibut, with the chicken salt fries on the side, all of it was outstanding. And the screeched tarte au sucre for dessert was good. The experience was definitely worth the cost.

Toronto is a city I’ve spent my entire adult life exploring, and every so often you have an evening that reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Dinner at Canoe was one of those evenings. As the sun set over the skyline and the CN Tower slowly lit up outside the windows, every course that arrived felt like a celebration of Canadian cuisine, creativity, and hospitality. The food was beautifully executed, thoughtful, and memorable without ever feeling pretentious. What elevated the experience, however, was the people. Johann welcomed us with the kind of genuine hospitality that can’t be taught. He made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table, and his presence added warmth to the entire evening. Our server, Steven, was outstanding. Professional, knowledgeable, witty, and effortlessly charming. He reminded me of the hospitality professionals who understand that great service isn’t about reciting menu descriptions—it’s about creating an experience people will remember long after the last course leaves the table. Steven did exactly that. I’ve worked in hospitality for many years, and I know how difficult it is to make service feel natural, personal, and seamless. Johann and Steven made it look easy. An unforgettable evening, incredible views, beautiful food, and hospitality that stayed with me long after I left the restaurant. Thank you for a truly memorable night.

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.

Visited for Winterlicious lunch. The view was stunning. We're lucky that we got a standard seat next to the window with the unbeatable view. The food was properly cooked but not impressive. I liked the dessert very much but the portion was tiny. The restaurant was a bit noisy for me but it's quite standard for this kind of restaurant. The service was professional but a bit cold. Overall a great experience but it's quite pricey. I guess we paid extra for the view.

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.

Really solid spot downtown. We started with the calamari — crispy, well-seasoned, and a good size to share. I had the fish and chips, which were fresh and light with a nice thin batter. My friend got The Woody burger and was happy with it — good flavour, generous portions. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun without being overwhelming, and the beer selection is impressive. Great place to grab a meal near Union Station. Would definitely come back.
Alex - 4 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.
Tara K. - 2 months ago

Great place to grab a bite before a game. Atmosphere is fun, a little loud but proximity to stadiums it's a good place to eat and get excited to watch a game or concert. I had dinner with me son and it was pretty good. My son had the fish and chips, little pricey for a one piece but it was good and worth the money, very thin batter which was great. I had the bacon cheese burger and it was very enjoyable, great flavour, good size. Had a side of the hot sauce for dipping my fries and the sauce was delicious. Service was fast and friendly and the washroom was clean. Been here many times over the years and will be back again.

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 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.

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 - 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 - 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.
