After waiting 45 minutes for our order we found out they lost it, after re ordering and waiting again the sushi was very sub par. very loud too. The booth seats were extremely uncomfortable
Am extremely sad to report that the boy in cashier desk sounds racist. Poor service and selective good service for certain groups of people
Decent food. Don't pay for music on the jukebox. If Tina doesn't like it she'll just skip it and use the vacant patio as an excuse. Wasted much money until I learned this.
7 ladies celebrating birthday of a cousin. Great choice for a restaurant to celebrate. We did the tasting menu which was excellent. Just the right amount of food properly phased serving. Brian our server is attentive and funny. Loved the live music we got to sing along with the performer.
A FANTASTIC PLACE WITH AWESOME SERVICE BY THE PRETTY ELISHA THE PORTIONS WERE GREAT AND QUIET.
A little spice in life is good ! Loved the food, quiet atmosphere and friendly service. Spring rolls, pad Thai and green curry were suggested, and much enjoyed. I owe thanks to other reviewers for their posts, they gave me courage to try something new again š
15 years ago this was a nice, gentlemans and lady hangout. Thick carpets, big chairs, older experienced waiters, great food. Today it's run by snarky millenial managers, belligerent waitresses, crowded with loud drugged up rich punks and the food is mediocre at best. Did Drake buy them out? Definitely not worth the hundreds of bucks you'll drop for a dinner here. $23+tax+tip for a gin and soda. Oysters are sub par for sure. Too bad, this used to be a classic. Not anymore. Don't get trapped by the fancy entrance. Avoid this place. Coming from a Toronto steakhouse connoisseur.
1st time here for summerlicious. Upon arrival, we were being told our table would be ready shortly. Waited 5 mins and was brought to a 2-person table with an extra chair on the side (we have 3 adults). I tried to ask for a proper 3-person table but the hostess said that was the only table available in the dining room. We ended up sitting in the cafe section with very weak a/c and stuffy airflow. Uncomfortable! Food was just average. The short rib appetizer was quite dry. Ordered medium rare for our steaks and they all turned out medium. Fuzzy peach drink was way too sour.... The 3-star rating was for the food. For overall service, I can only give max 2 stars. Not sute if it was due to the higher volume during summerlicious, I'd say I receive better service from Swiss Chalet than this place. Very disappointed.....
8 of us were there for lunch on Family day. It is a very large and noisy room. People sit around a large round table and share the food put on a lazy susan. Servers come around with a trolley offering dim sum. You can also order a la carte. We did both. The food is so so. Nothing special, actually really boring. It is also not worth the money. Toronto has many better Chinese restaurants. However the place was full. Others might feel differently. We will not return.
2nd visit, came back because the food is very good and the service was acceptable for the Danforth. We arrived last night at around 6, lots of empty tables and they asked us if we had reservations which we didn't and were promptly seated at the back of the restaurant right next to the wait areas and kitchen even though there were plenty of empty tables. The area was very noisy they were busy but not crazy busy. The waiter came promptly probably to get us out quick because we finished at 6:45. He wasn't very personable and didn't seem to recognize my daughter asked for a salad for her main course but he brought her salad at the same time as mine and my wife's, but didn't bring huge complementary bread and butter that all the other tables were gettig. Our main courses arrived fried Calimari for me and chicken breast for my wife both were excellent. The waiter had a look at out table but didn't bother to ask how our dinner tasted our if my wife would like a refill for her drink, we had to ask someone else for the refill. Fast forward to asking for the cheque he brought the machine I punched in the 15% tip even though I should not have, he teared the receipt left it on the table without even looking at us and saying thank you or have a nice evening. That's a first even when I've had bad service the server always made an attempt to seem grateful but not this guy. On my out I told the hostess the waiter didn't say thank you or to enjoy our night. She feigned surprise but I saw a lineup of people waiting to get in and understand where the ENTLEMENT comes from, they are busy even though there service level sucks. Too bad I won't be making a return visit but will be sure to recount my experience to friends and family and hopefully they will tell others.
6 of us had a 7:30 reservation on a Friday. We were seated upstairs promptly. Drinks were ordered and arrived eventually. They didn't have several wines or beers on the menu but offered something similar. Drinks were expensive. The pasta dishes were lukewarm and fair at best. I had a pizza which was pretty good. There were several larger groups upstairs and it was very noisy. Perhaps that is why the service was so slow. It was an okay experience, but we will go elsewhere in the city to look for Italian food.
A Christmas lunch with old friends. This location convenient and easy access. Good service. Our server was patient and didnāt rush us. Great omelette for my lunch but a good variety of options. Can be a bit noisy but overall I will be back
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
Itās a small place with a somewhat artificially (I hope) simple and old-fashioned interior, a kind of pseudo-maritime style. Tables are quite small, and the room feels crowded even when only about half of them are occupied. The noise level is far too high to consider the place romantic, and itās not particularly easy to have a conversation. Tableware is fine, but nothing elegant. Service is friendly and reasonably quick, though it feels a bit disorganized at times. The menu focuses mostly on seafood, although there is a steak available as well. The oyster selection changes daily; on the day of our visit there were five varieties from both coasts. We ordered the ābread and butter.ā The bread arrived barely warm, but it was still worth getting. Oysters I suspect the oysters were served too cold, which made their flavors harder to appreciate. Because of that, the oyster part of the experience was much less enjoyable than expected. Grilled Octopus The octopus itself was only barely warm and the portion was rather small. On the positive side, it was quite tender. The side dish, which contains smoked hummus, deep-fried chickpeas, red onions, capers, pickled celeriac, and fried chickpeas, was unfortunately dominated by salty capers, which didnāt really help the flavor of the octopus. Overall, I canāt really recommend this spot.

We dined at Blu Ristorante in Toronto last night, and it was truly a memorable experience overall. The food was absolutely fantastic, every bite was bursting with flavour. The ambiance was stunning; the entire restaurant had this beautiful, vibrant energy, enhanced by live music that made the night so special. Our table was right next to the kitchen, which gave us a delightful view of the culinary action. That said, I do feel a bit let down by the service. While nobody was rude, the staff seemed a bit inattentive. We had to prompt them for details and recommendations, and even though we mentioned it was a birthday celebration, there was no special recognition, no candle, no little extra touch that you expect at a high-end restaurant. It is certainly not a cheap place to dine, we had a group of six and spent several hundred dollars, it was a bit of a missed opportunity. Still, Iād love to come back for the food and atmosphere, but I hope the service can match the excellence of the kitchen next time. Update: The owner reached out to me personally very quickly after our visit to apologize and make things right, which I really appreciated. It says a lot about how much they care about their guests and their reputation. Iām looking forward to giving Blu another try in the future.

This place is tired and running on fumes. It used to be good, but the service is indifferent, the food is mediocre at best, the ambiance is loud with people packed tightly together and music piped over it all. And the music is an odd mix of pop; not one Italian song. Go someplace else.

Hesitating a little between the different shows, we headed to Citrus Health. Great welcome and very quiet place. A lemon atmosphere invades you as soon as you enter. We each chose a 60-minute massage: one Vietnamese and one with hot stones. The quality of the massage, for my part, was very good! My wife also raised the excellent standard. We were massaged together in a dark and very quiet room! I would like to emphasize all the additional services offered at the reception (a small tea, hand towel, foot bath) and at the end, a small fruit yogurt and a tea. Small French couple who enjoyed this experience. Do it again if we can!
