    Iced Biscoff Espresso
    Tristan D.

    Upon entering I was greeted with such a warm welcome, the environment is so beautiful with its dim lighting and comfy seating. Very cozy indeed, I can see people coming here for the winter for great meals and a comfortable evening! Food: [5/5] Corn Caesar Salad: This salad was so delicious I actually enjoyed it more than the pasta! (which was also very delicious). I'm not sure if it's the dressing they use mixed in with the bacon from the salad but it was just so delicious! I loved it! Spicy rigatoni: [5/5] Although it wasn't spicy it was still creamy and delicious! I enjoyed it so much. The Stracciatella made the pasta a lot more creamier as well! Steak (side): [5/5] This steak was phenomenal! It was seasoned beautifully and was the best side for the salad and the pasta (more-so the salad). I asked for it well done and got it well done and it was so delicious. Highly recommend the steak! Iced Biscoff Espresso: [5/5] Very strong but also balanced out by how sweet it is. It also looks nice as well. Service [5/5] Jay/Maxine -- My servers that night (9/22) were very friendly and fast when it came to service, he told me to flag him down when ready but he had a lot going on and I didn't want to disturb him especially since I was dining alone. But even with all that he had a smile on his face and remembered my order from top to bottom without writing it down. He also wished me an early happy birthday which was very nice of him and gave me some things to do while I'm visiting toronto. Thank you jay! Maxine also made sure I was ok making sure everything was fine, I was enjoying my meal, and had everything I needed. Ambiance: [5/5] This place is great for a date night / solo night with dim din lighting and comfy seating. It ms very beautiful and has a warm aesthetic to it I'd recommend this place highly for the looks alone! Overall, with a great atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food, comes with an even better time and I really enjoyed my night at this restaurant. Affordable if you're looking to alone or with a plus one. Highly recommend! Thank you Jay & Maxine!

    Really great food and wonderful service. Their beverage selection was huge - any juice blend you could imagine. The thoughtful details were not expected but delightful - my friend ordered just a bagel with cream cheese and it came with flowers topping the cream cheese. Wish I got a picture.

    Really cute cafe/brunch spot. I really like that they have coffee and cocktails! I got the Norwegian smoked salmon egg Benedict which was really good. I like that their potatoes are a mix or sweet potatoes, taro and regular potatoes. I also really liked the chicken and waffles. I thought their portions could have been a bit bigger though for the price. Their drinks are really pretty as well. I got the Biscoff espresso, I do wish it was a big stronger but other than that we had a good time. Our server was also very kind and very patient.

    We stopped on here for an early dinner and had a great experience. Our server was very attentive and took the time to go over the menu and make the gluten free substitutions as requested. The ambience is gorgeous and our food was great. We all loved the soap in the bathroom too!

    Came here for Saturday brunch with my husband. A much needed break for us. There are a couple of Greenp parking lots near by. As we entered, we were greeted by friendly crew. They had our table ready. We didn't get the best view table cuz just the 2 of us so smaller table for us but their ambience and decor was pretty cool and natural..very calming yet modern. No loud music. Lots of people with friends, family and we saw lot of babies too...not seen many babies at brunch places like this. This was unusual yet good feeling of inclusivity. Service was top notch. Crew was friendly. Food was freshly prepared. Limited options for people who are vegetarian but don't eat egg. We got avocado toast so we were goid. Hope they add some options for this dietary requirements. We had a great experience. We'll be coming back.

    We went here for Sunday Brunch, and it's very homey, cute, and comfortable. The menu had options for the savory and sweet breakfast fans alike, and our server was super kind and attentive. He brought us vanilla lattes, which I hadn't originally seen on the menu. I got the French toast, which was super filling, but very good. My friend and I both really enjoyed our meal and we would definitely go back!

    Pork chop

    After a less experience at Harriets I came downstairs for dinner. Had to be quick about it. The sun sets at 8:18. The restaurant closes at 9:00. It's tagged as a Michelin restaurant. It's not. The hotel is Michelin rated. Service was excellent. I enjoyed a local Canadian Pinot noir which was quite good. I was dining so low so it was a entree only kind of meal. I had the pork chop and opted for Caesar salad instead of watercress. Both were excellent pork was well cooked succotash was good enjoyed my meal.

    Feel Good Margherita
    Carol M.

    We were here for a friend's birthday dinner. The service was stellar. Very friendly and helpful with a lot of great suggestions. Started tried a few of their signature cocktails. I was a fan of the feel-good margarita. It had turmeric around the rim instead of salt, which was interesting. We shared the pumpkin dip. It was served with Taro chips, which none of us had ever had before. It was delicious. I ordered rigatoni, which was a fresh take on a classic. The sauce was a Parmesan cream sauce with a garlic crunch. I also tried brussel sprouts in Garden roasted carrots. Everything was delicious. The brussel sprouts were interesting they were very light and crispy. We were there for a friend's birthday, and her son had a tray of desserts delivered to the table for all of us to share. So we got to try a little bit of everything. They were all good, but I think my favorite was the spiced cake with berries.

    We found 1 Kitchen sort of by accident, as we were shopping nearby at Stackt Market, and wanted a place where we could sit down inside and eat which wasn't a 'fast food feel'. A quick review of the menu convinced us that all three in our group could find something they liked, so we walked over around 1:30 pm on a Wed. There were several tables with groups of diners, but still lots of space available. The hostess decided to put us in a booth next to a window, which was perfect. The plants throughout the interior gave the place a comfortable peaceful vibe, and the light from outside made it feel bright and airy, but still cozy inside. The menus are online and you have to scan a bar code to see the offerings - this was one thing we didn't like. We know it's more environmentally friendly, especially when menus change often, but all of us had trouble getting the pages to load since we were from the states and roaming. There didn't seem to be a paper option though. Our server, Maxine, was great. She was very friendly and attentive. Among us we ordered a burger, an Earth Bowl, and a beet salad with added falafel. The burger came with a 'sea buckthorn jam' which we had never heard of, but Maxine was able to explain what it was like (sweet and tangy), offered to have the kitchen put it on the side, and also suggested some options for the fries that would compliment the zaatar spice. We appreciated all of her suggestions. The diversity of food offerings is amazing, with lots of vegan and vegetarian options and ways to add protein to any veggie-forward dish. We loved all of the food, but here are a few notes: The burger was perfectly cooked and served on a potato bun with a side of very thin pickles - it was very well balanced flavor and fat wise, and really enjoyable. The portion of zaatar fries it came with was huge and enough for all 3 of us to share. The Earth Bowl was a lovely mix of long grain wild rice, roasted butternut (?) squash, chick peas, sunflower seeds, herbs, avocado and a delicious lime cilantro dressing. My sister is very sensitive to ingredients that are old or off and she remarked how very fresh and clean this tasted. The beet salad was served with a generous portion of beets over a roasted cauliflower puree. The description said it had a maple walnut dressing, pickled pears, fennel and candied pistachios. I added falafel for some carbs and protein. It was delicious but was very light on the nuts, and the pears and fennel were not detectable flavor wise...I would have enjoyed the depth from more flavors... So overall, a lovely experience that I look forward to repeating, but I took a star off since the menu would be a challenge if you didn't have good cell service, and my dish fell short of expectations based on the menu description.

    Wait staff was amazing, even remembering me and my plans that were discussed during our dining experience! Food, juices, smoothies, and lattes were perfection. Not complaints, thank you 1 Kitchen waitstaff!

    Norwegian eggs Benedict
    Elvis A.

    While they have the got the ambiance right the service and the food makes me wonder what the hype is all about. I had booked in advance so despite the overwhelming crowd got the spot quickly. The service is all over the place non existing to pleasant when paying the bill. I had the Norwegian eggs Benedict. Other person had the potato waffles plus the chicken add on. We both tried the honey ice cream, sugar pie with rhubarb I wanted to try the chicken so I had a piece. Oh this was so greasy that I couldn't get past the first bite. We are talking dripping oil all over sogfest. Eggs Benedict are decent but the house potatoes were all over smaller one being ok while larger pieces being undercooked Dessert were possibly the best item we ordered. Also it was so noisy that got noise fatigue an hour+ of sitting there. I can't possibly rate it better than 2.5 stars out of 5.

    1K Falafel Burger
    Helen M.

    This place was very nice and fancy but good prices. The food was really good and clean ingredients-- me and my friend split the falafel burger and earth bowl. We also ordered smoothies, all of it was excellent and filling! Highly recommend, I was on vaca in Toronto and really want to go back to try their brunch next time. Service was excellent, waitress was the sweetest and super patient and helpful!

    Went for a lunch with a few others and it was really great. We had a reservations but it wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant is really pretty. Lots of plants everywhere and natural light. The food was very good! I went with what the server recommended, which was the fried chicken sandwich. I ordered it with a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was unlike any I've had before but was still very nice. The chicken sandwich was delicious but the chicken was 2 pieces so it was a little messy. The fries are also very tasty!! Oh and the think pink juice is sooo refreshing and sweet.

Great for lunches, especially during patio season when the third floor roof is open. At night, it's moody and dark, lit by candles on the table and the tvs at every corner with sports playing or generic videos. Dishes that I always get are the creole blackened chicken, avocado kale salad and truffle fries. The sunset soda is also a great, cheap and low calorie drink. Honorable food mentions are their featured (at the time) crab dip and the salmon aburi sushi.

It was a Sunday night , the day after Valentine's Day and it was packed. Good thing we had reservations. Despite how busy it was we were seated right away and our server Sarah was an absolute gem.

But it was the food that blew us away I started with the Wagyu carpaccio that emma's to die for. Just perfect with the crostinis. The my wife had the avocado bowl with salmon and I had the mushroom striploin. Both meals just freaking delicious- these folks have it down to a science and the food was off the charts. Some people may disagree because it's a chain restaurant but when they hit on all cylinders, which they have every time we've been there, it's awesome. Cactus Club - highly highly recommended. Ask for Sarah - she is amazing.

Our group of 5 started with fresh sushi and sashimi, table side Caesar salad and the softest brioche served with sun-dried tomato butter that was perfect in every way. Main course: Australian wagyu ribeye that we didn't even have to chew plus a strip loin and beef Wellington (which was maybe the only thing I don't need to order again, but still delicious). All the sides were amazing and finally sticky toffee pudding and butter cake to put us in a complete food coma. Wouldn't change a thing about this meal.

We walked up to an unassuming entrance that is part of the experience, and once inside, the atmosphere shifts completely. The space is intimate and cozy with dim lighting, comfortable seating, and a relaxed speakeasy vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a couple of drinks. The transition from the street to the interior feels deliberate, and the low-key energy of the room encourages lingering. The cocktail menu leans heavily into Asian-inspired flavors, and that is what makes it stand out. Every drink feels thoughtfully developed rather than relying on presentation alone. We tried the Cloudy Oolong, which was especially memorable with its rich tea flavor and creamy cheese foam that added a savory depth to the cocktail. The Strawberry Tetsu offered a dessert-like profile without becoming overly sweet, balancing fruit and tea notes in a way that felt refined and well composed. Each cocktail arrived beautifully presented and balanced, making it easy to appreciate the amount of care that goes into every glass. The menu is creative without being gimmicky, and the flavors are well integrated, with each drink offering something distinct. The staff were welcoming and happy to explain the menu or offer recommendations if you are unsure what to order. They guided us through the flavor profiles and offered thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Service felt attentive without being overbearing, and the overall pace made it a great place to relax rather than rush through a drink. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the experience feeling personal and unhurried. If you are looking for a cocktail bar that offers something different from the usual classics, After Seven delivers a memorable experience. Between the hidden entrance, intimate setting, and creative drinks, it is the kind of place that is easy to recommend whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for one of Toronto's more unique bars. The balance of atmosphere, craftsmanship, and service makes it a standout in the city's cocktail scene.

The room is small, intentional, and lovely: intimate seating, a sculptural emerald bar, and an atmosphere drawn from the Japanese cocktail tradition. The aesthetic is precise without being cold, and the candle-warm lighting encourages exactly the kind of unhurried conversation that a well-made cocktail deserves. But the bartenders are the true heart of the place. On the evening of my visit, the two behind the bar moved with a remarkable synchrony -- finishing each other's thoughts, trading warmth and wit in equal measure, drawing guests effortlessly into the orbit of their easy rapport. It is the kind of hospitality that cannot be trained into existence; it is either present or it isn't, and here it is very much present. The cocktail menu is East Asian in its inspiration and genuinely inventive in its execution.

    Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.
