The sauces that came with it were amazing, we had to ask for more mustard because it was that good. My sour beer was mango pineapple flavoured and it was so tasty.

The brisket was good, the chili, potato salad and coleslaw were not that good :/ my chicken sandwich was pretty good tho and the fries were exactly how shoestring fries should be! Service was great tho. In conclusion, I'd come back for the beer and snacks.

We visited Wvrst Union Station and tried their sampler sausage platter, which included chorizo, calabrese, bratwurst, Italian, kranjska, and even an elk sausage. The sampler was a great way to try several flavours at once, and all the sausages we tasted were delicious and satisfying. The space has a relaxed and lively atmosphere, similar to a European-style beer hall, and it works well for a quick stop or casual meal inside Union Station.

On the other, I couldn't even finish my plate, so it tells you something. The options at this place are rather limited. I ordered roasted pork belly (porchetta) with fries. To my liking, the belly was too hard, it had too much fat and 1 million calories. Non-alcoholic beer was just OK, nothing special. The atmosphere was not pleasant either. Benches are hard and inconvenient. - I assume, they draw inspiration from Octoberfest, but that doesn't help. The place is also too dark for my liking.

Craft Beer Market is a restaurant located at Yonge and Adelaide & walking distance from the TTC…read more Craft has one of the largest selection in beers both local and international. I recommend making a reservation especially on weekends as they can get busy. From 2-5pm and 9pm-Close they offer Happy Hour specials daily except on Sunday's which is offered all day. Walked in and requested table for 2 but hostess provided no timeframe as to how long it would take as there were other reservations. Bar was mostly full and we waited about 30 minutes. No table still but some seats became available at the bar. Strange how on OpenTable it showed availability when they said no tables available. Service at the bar was great! Very attentive despite it being a very large bar with many seats filled at capacity. Ordered a couple of drinks and food from the menu shortly after. Got their Fried Pickles and Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza to share. Overall, food was fresh and wait time to receive the food was reasonable. Except, pizza was a bit salty I think this was due to the cheese on top. Fried pickles were A-OK, lightly battered and paired well with the house made beer ranch dipping sauce. I'd recommend checking out Craft during happy hour to get the best value for both food and drinks but expect there to be a bit of a crowd! Cheers!

The pizza was worth the happy hour, and it was good. We wish we didn't get the tuna tacos because it was smaller than what we expected. I didn't realize there was rice in the taco and just a little bit of tuna on top. Ambiance was loud and busy.

Overall, we were both impressed with the good simple pizza. I think we've both kind of reached a saturation point with pretentious pizza spots, so this was a nice find in the middle of the financial district.

We ordered the Lychee Bliss and Smokey Sapphire. It took almost 20 mins before we received our drinks and by the time we got it, our dinner table was ready. My lychee drink was quite good and tasted like a mild flavored lychee. My only complaint is they added a large ice cube in the coupe martini glass which I have never had before in all the martini style glasses of cocktails I've had (very odd to us). It left very little room for the actual liquid which only gave me a few sips. My partner did enjoy his at least.. Besides the long wait and downside of the added ice in my drink, the bartenders were great and the space inside was quite nice.

Their drinks are high class with expertly crafted flavor profiles incorporating flavors from around the world covering a wide range of palettes, and matching aesthetic. Highly recommend checking their menu out! (Saffron Spice: A+) - This is THE cocktail of Bar Maaya, highlighted by the mesmerizing fire show wrapped around the cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised by the forward saffron flavor given the subtleness of the spice; this is a spotlight cocktail well done. (Smokey Trails: A) - Another experience-based cocktail filled with smoke and served on the rocks using their custom engraved temple eye ice cube. The flavor profile is just a classic mezcal with a dash of smoke, but this is also done well to be easy on the palette.

We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups.

It is in the Queens Quay Terminal mall attached to Farm Boy. The prices are reasonable and portion size generous. I had the Joe bowl with hand pulled chicken, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese - one of the "healthier" options on the menu (well, not deep fried at least!). My DC had the special which was a chicken parmigiana that comes with a side Caesar salad. I imagine this place is packed in the summer, but on a winter weekday lunch, it was not busy at all so service was fast and efficient. They have happy hour drink specials. Nothing to write home about, but a reasonable option if looking for a satisfying meal in this area.

They have their own vodka and gin they use. 5 stars - Menu: sweet/dry, light/spirited quadrants mapped out on the front page Also a sketch drawing of the drink so you can see what type of glass you'll get and colorful pictures on the side to set the mood. - Spicy nuts: good yet dusty but bonus for having hazelnuts. 4 stars Midlights: - Can get on waitlist if full and can text you (note: was full even early afternoon on a Saturday) - Wanted to try more food like the beef sandwich or french onion soup but we were in between meals Lowlights: - Took over 30 min to get our first drink after ordering which was odd at a hotel of this caliber.

For a very, very long time, I'd been reading about how Library Bar is one of the best cocktail bars…read morein the city. So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.
