    Chips and salsa with guacamole
    Shaguna W.

    Beautiful patio bar on the fourth floor. Looked like a tropical paradise in the middle of the city. Service was fast and friendly We just had drinks and one app. Red wine Sangria was spicy and refreshing. The Coco Loco was sweet without being overly sweet and made the evening more fun with the beautiful presentation. Had the chips with guacamole and salsa which was nice.

    MATCHA MY VIBE
    Kimberly O.

    I tried the MATCHA MY VIBE cocktail and honestly, it blew me away. It's the perfect balance of earthy, creamy, and subtly sweet. The Ketel One Vodka gives it a clean, crisp base, while the Licor 43 adds this gorgeous vanilla-citrus note that complements the matcha beautifully. The coconut cream ties everything together with a silky, tropical finish -- not too heavy, just enough to make it feel indulgent. It's like a matcha latte all grown up and ready for a night out. Bonus points for presentation -- vibrant green color, served in a chilled coupe with a light dusting of matcha on top. Aesthetic and delicious. If you're a fan of matcha, creamy cocktails, or just want something a little different than the usual espresso martini, this one's a must-try.

    I visited the loft at Baro for an event (3rd floor). The vibe was a lot of brick and wood tones, I could see this being a good intimate wedding venue with long harvest tables. The bar servers were extremely nice. They had coat check as well, however that gentleman was less welcoming (just trying to get though the day I think). The microphone during speeches was a bit echo-y which made it a bit difficult to understand what they were saying at times. For the food, the salad was mid. Just missing flavour I guess? The steak and Potatoes were amazing - rich and complex in flavour, and generous portion size. Finally the dessert was good but I was too full from the previous courses to finish everything. The dinner service did take a while (2-3 hours to complete) which was my only complaint. They accommodated all dietary restrictions. Overall I enjoyed being at this venue for the event I attended.

    Energy | cocktails | chicken Energy - The atmosphere of this place is electrifying with boundless energy. It's an absolute blast, exuding vibrant and cool vibes that appeal to everyone. Patrons are clearly enjoying themselves, whether they're socializing with friends, on a romantic date, or simply unwinding at the bar. all the place has really good vibes and I highly recommend it. Cocktails - This place has the top three cocktail value presentations and taste experiences I've ever encountered. The cocktails are creatively presented and offer surprising value for the price. Even if you're just there for the drinks, you won't be disappointed. Chicken - I dug into the deliciously sizable grilled chicken dish that night. I was absolutely famished, and it completely hit the spot. This dish was fantastic. The taste was excellent and it came out at the perfect temperature. The chicken was so tender that it fell off the bone easily, which is not always the case with this type of meal. I usually worry about making a mess when eating something like this, especially on a date, but it was surprisingly easy to manage. I wasn't trying to impress anyone, but it turned out great. Pro tip: To secure a seat on a busy night, be sure to make a reservation as this spot is very popular..

    I'm a regular at Baro, especially for the Pablo Snack House happy hour--I love that it goes until 7, unlike most places that end at 5. The vibes are always chill and the service is consistently good. It's usually bustling, but there are rare occasions when it's pretty quiet. The mojito and another drink that I can't quite remember the name of are my go-to choices here. Oysters are a must--well-priced and tasty. The mushroom tostada was honestly SO fire. I'm typically hesitant with mushrooms, but this was so good. And I can't forget about the hummus; I'm not sure if it's made in-house, but it's delicious, and I love that we can get as much bread on the side as we want. Overall, I love coming to Baro and will keep coming back as long as they keep their happy hour going!

    Super cute bar, with great music. Also has a roof top terrace part and this place is several floors. Highly recommended for a night out

    Lobster Mac and Cheese
    Jeff S.

    Really enjoyed our meal at Barro in February in Toronto. It's kind of dark and intimate on the inside, but a little noisy too. Great energy and vibe that takes you away from the street. Not exactly a date spot but the food is good enough to impress. It's kind of a pan-latin with some interesting twists on classics. Service was attentive and always available, though a little verbose at times for my taste. We started with an agua chile which was made right, with delicious shrimp. Lobster mac and cheese was probably the best dish we had-it was fortunate the three of us shared it because it was very rich but you just couldn't stop eating it. Shishito peppers were delicious and done right. Octopus was perfectly cooked. I would revisit if in Toronto.

    CHORI PAPA
    Elle G.

    Had a great brunch with friends on the rooftop patio at Baro. Such a nice seating plus totally covered over. No need to worry about it being too hot! The food was pretty fantastic too. We had some cocktails, and then we had the Chori papa, and somebody had steak. The meals were incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. Very relaxed atmosphere. The service was good. We definitely have to come back and try the evening fare, which is served in their downstairs location. If you have mobility issues, no worries getting upstairs because it's all by elevator. It's on King West just west of Spadina, so parking could be challenging, but getting there by transit was really easy.

    This venue is so stunning. I didn't realize they have something like four different floors. This was the snack bar upstairs. We got the mai tai, which was delicious and came in this fun coconut like glass. Our server was wonderful. She was great at recommending things as well as suggesting we make adjustments what we are ordering depending on what we liked. We ended up just getting a snack of the chard habanero hummus with a pita bread. It was so delicious and have this spicy topping on it that made it even more delicious and the pita was so fresh and tender. I'd love to come back here and try more of the items on the menu. It was wonderful.

    I visited Baro with a large group and we had the preset menu. The menu is decorated nicely and gives a cool, modern vibe. The service throughout the night was seamless and food came out with good timing - they were well prepared for our group of ~18. The meals were family style and there was more than enough to go around. I was full by the end of the night. My favourite of the dishes were the tuna ceviche (the coconut lime sauce was sooo good), and the duck confit rice. Since the rice comes in a hot stone bowl you can let it sit for a bit to make the rice nice and crispy. The "big ass steak" was cooked pretty well. I'd recommend getting the steak medium rare - we got one rare and the medium rare we definitely better. Everything was really tasty and our meal ended off well with churros. They gave us a coconut pistachio cream popsicle as well that was ehhhh - but honestly this is the only part of the meal that wasn't tasty for me. Considering how much food came out, that's pretty darn good. I'd definitely recommend the group preset menu for anyone looking to have an easy dinner with a large group.

    LOMO SALTADO
    Rebecca M.

    What a fun, warm, exciting place to eat! Two coworkers and I came here for dinner, and our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. We ordered WAY too much. And, all I wanted to eat was the Duck Chaufa...after that came out, I couldn't be convinced to eat anything else. The crowd was young and hip and the place was packed. Definitely a mix of girls nights and first dates, for the sophisticated set. Even though we had to sit at the bar, which isn't the best view or place for a conversation, the service was still impeccable.

    OG DUCK CHAUFA
    Nan V.

    Been wanting to come here for a while and glad I did because the service and food was gooood! My friend and I got the rooftop patio (will come back during the day), we got the high table against the wall. Though I had issues getting on the chair since it was so big and in a tight area. We got Patron Pink lemonade (so goood) and espresso martini. The OG duck friend rice was amazinggly good but it did take a while for it to come out. Great for sharing, it was a lot for 2 people. The Yellowfin tuna ceviche was yummy, creamy and sour. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection and the sauce paired well together. Definitely will come back to try other dishes or their brunch!

    Came in for happy hour at about 4:45. The place was dead but we were still asked if we had a reservation. We were sat in a lounge booth area. We ordered off the happy hour menu and it was okay. The chips were nice but the guac was a bit flat. The salsa was decent!! We ordered another app that was pretty good too. Overall, it was just okay for me.

Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option.

They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

We loved being seated beside each other rather than across from one another, an option I appreciated compared to the large half-moon booths in the centre of the room. Tables line the perimeter and upper level, while small trees with twinkling lights frame the booths, adding a whimsical, almost magical touch. A window displaying the cuts of steak was a fun and enticing detail. Appetizers & Mains: Every bite impressed. The seafood atop each piece of nigiri was incredibly fresh and buttery, literally melting in your mouth. The lobster mashed potatoes were an indulgent and unforgettable accompaniment to the perfectly tender steaks, which were thoughtfully presented tableside before cooking. Dessert: We saved room (and I'm so glad we did!) My cheesecake arrived beautifully plated with a candle and birthday message, while my boyfriend enjoyed the butter cake. Both were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. Service: Every team member we encountered went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, but a heartfelt shout-out goes to our charming server, Vig. He was attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in ensuring each moment felt intentional and unique. He also shared enticing reasons to return for lunch, happy hour, and weekend brunch (options we had no idea the restaurant offered). Thoughtful Touches: From coat check, a welcome birthday cocktail, a personalized birthday card from the staff, to complimentary bubbly with dessert, every detail was thoughtfully considered.

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.
