This is a review based only on the breakfast buffet at Portico Restaurant. I stayed at the…read moreCambridge Suites Hotel and while the stay was below average, the food was not. For a breakfast continental buffet, the quality was higher than most I've tried. Their scrambled eggs were moist, fluffy and hot. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and yet soft on the middle. The fruit tasted fresh and were perfectly chilled. Pastries were freshly made and you can definitely taste it. I noticed that they constantly changed the items to prevent the food from becoming stale. I only wish the breakfast times didn't end so early (9:30AM), but it's the breakfast from a hotel so it's expected. I also wanted more orange juice, but the waiter never came around to our table after greeting us the first time.

I had the fish as my main and felt it was good but was not the biggest fan of the spicy sauce underneath. My friends ordered the steak and it was cooked well but came with almost like a coconut flavored sauce which was a bit unique. Overall the restaurant vibes were really nice and service was amazing! Bonus points for having very nice washrooms with bidets and Aesop soap.

Food was nice, I specially enjoyed Ikura Latke and scallop - Scallop was the best I ever had. Staff was kind too. They were a bit late to greet us and start with water, waited a bit at the table but it was crowded. After that however, he was attentive and kind. I thought the menu could be planned better like a composition, but still each dish was delicious. Overall, a good to have experience.

Ambience is great, place is clean and nice music playing. Tables and booths were very spacious and done overlook a beautiful church courtyard.

Everything came hot and fresh, and a bit overpriced..but it's a very stylish venue and the service is impeccable. We ordered dessert, but after a very large party came in to dine, they must have forgotten our order, so we asked for it to be canceled. Also, I ordered a spiced hot chocolate, and it was very tasteless..I was quite surprised, and the manager (assumably) graciously removed it from our bill. The space to walk from the dining room to the lounge area, is located between tables and the bar, and can be a bit tight with people occupying the area...so walk cautiously. Otherwise, the restaurant located in the trendy Hazleton hotel is a must try in Toronto..

Solid but pricey…read more Back at One Restaurant again for a nice Saturday night dinner. Restaurant patio was busy but inside (our preference) was quiet. Had the following: Wagyu beef sliders: delicious and it came with a delightful dip that had horseradish and capers in it. Fried onion inside provided a nice crunch Chicken tacos: a little too saucy but otherwise delicious. Big portion. Beef tartarlette: delicious and big portion. An interesting spin on beef tartare by having them essential create your bite for you on a tart. Bone in veal parmigiana: I used to have their bone in veal all the time and it has been replaced by this. Saucy. Nice. But not sure I like it better. It doesn't come with anything on the side. Chicken tandoori: good flavour. Big portion. Wife liked it. Service was average. Will be back.

But for what it's worth, when we went, we had a great experience, the art inside the restaurant was really nice, and the location next to the AGO can't be beat as we left the museum and went right back in. there's a lot out there in Toronto, but definitely really glad I got to try this spot

The food was surprising pretty good for a venue within a museum. I generally have low expectations…read morefor restaurants within these type of attractions. The prices were also extremely fair as well! I had their cauliflower soup, salmon main, and their lemon live cake. The soup was extremely refreshing and filling! The veggies served with the salmon main dish were cooked to perfection! They also served a very generous size of salmon as well! The cake was my least favourite, I thought it was too sweat. Overall, I loved the dinning experience! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for any type of occasion!

Happy to report that isn't the case here, as we really enjoyed the meal itself too. - Cold Smoked Ontario Elk Tartare: Was worried it would be a tad gamey but that wasn't the case at all. The cold richness of the elk was nicely cut by the salty potato crisps. - Seared Foie Gras: Milky and fatty like the best foie gras are, complemented by the tarty fruit. - Bison Short Rib: Really tender though also hearty at the same time. Loved the red wine reduction taste. - Burger: The special during Fridays. The patty was really juicy and tender, almost to the point of crumbling. - Smores: Pure indulgence. Like how, despite the whipped marshmallows and delicate layers of chocolate, it wasn't overly sweet. - Donuts: Heavy yet somehow also light. Get why this is a crowd pleaser. Bonus points for the whole experience. The place makes you feel like you're in an upscale garden, and the service is absolutely top notch. Can see why this is a popular weekday spot to wind down and enjoy.

We came for a team dinner - and, upon seeing that the restaurant was basically empty, feared for…read morethe worst. The meal started out well, with some solid appetizers. Service was decent, albeit slow... it took roughly 1.5h to serve all the appetizers. We got a charcuterie board (nothing extraordinary, no special cuts of meat or anything), compressed watermelon salad (tiny), scallop three ways (this was my favourite thus far - bright and interesting flavours, such as corn, grapefruit, and bacon), foie gras (the fruit compote helped lighten it), and oysters. Since the service was painstakingly slow, we asked them to quickly serve our mains. That's when things started going downhill... We shared an elk ragu, braised bison short rib, and New York striploin. The striploin was the best, but that's not saying much. The bison was super underseasoned and quite underwhelming. The elk ragu... was not good. They had a clump of pasta-like substance that tasted uncooked / raw. When we asked, it turned out it was some "coconut pasta". It had such a weird gritty texture and was kind of gross. We left it all untouched. We opted against dessert, and simply asked the servers for the bill. One of them, when clearing the steak knife from my colleague's seat, accidentally dropped it. The knife fell, point down, just centimetres from my colleague's thigh - hitting his phone. We were appalled! We wanted nothing more than to leave at this point. When the bill arrived, we were shocked and confused to see a $12 charge for dessert. We beckoned the servers, hoping to inquire about the charge - when they came out holding a dessert (some smores cheesecake). They claimed it was "on the house" - and we snorted, since they had charged us for this "free dessert". But since we were eager to leave, we said nothing about it. TLDR; service is too slow, food is not great. Poor attention to detail. Would not come again.

We had our company Christmas dinner this year at the Seasons Brasserie in Oakville. Hannah who…read morecoordinated the event was super helpful right from day one till the evening of the event and also made it a point to come and make sure with me that the team was well looked after. She helped me put together a bespoke dinner menu with enough vegetarian options (some team members were vegetarians). We had assorted Canapes that included Chicken Skewers, Smoked Salmon Crostinis, Caprese and Spring Rolls. All were very tasty and popular. The red and white wine selections- Cab Sav and the Chablis were pretty good. For the mains the team had a selection of Prime Rib, Vegan Cassoulet, Cornish Hen or Pasta Primavera to choose from. I personally had the Prime Rib which was done medium rare and cooked to perfection in its jus. Marbling was ok, however not perfect (my portion had a bit extra fat hanging at the edges) and sauce was good. I heard the hen and the cassoulet were tasty too. We finished the evening off with Lava Cake and Creme Brulee, with the lava cake getting more thumbs ups. The service and the bar were attentive, courteous and fast and people got their special cocktails and drinks at the bar as and when needed. All in all, everyone was pleased with the evening.

Booked it for a birthday dinner and it was quite honestly, a really disappointing experience…read more We arrived for our reservation for 6 and we were sat by the hostess who was kind of rude and didn't have her mask on most of the time. After being sat, we waited 30 minutes before anyone came and greeted us and asked if we wanted drinks. I made eye contact with the waiter SEVERAL times but he would look at me and look away. It was really not busy and tables were empty. The table next to us were sat and ordered drinks AND food. We finally had a server come and ask if we wanted drinks, and we all ordered. The drinks took maybe another 15 minutes. The time limit we were given was 1 hour and 20 mins by the way. After we got our drinks, we got our orders in. Most of the time when i looked back, our waitress would be on her phone. I believe she was the manager (tall young Asian lady) she didn't have her mask on unless she was literally BY our table and put it up. Whenever i would ask her a question about the menu, she just looked simply annoyed and i did NOT feel welcomed. The food came in a reasonable time. It was tasty but honestly nothing special. The meat in the burger was really really tough though. The fries tasted like McDonald fries with a hint of Parmesan. We wanted to order desserts but the waitress would literally come and picked up our food and left while we literally were mid sentence. We were appalled. We got the desserts and talked for a while. The only reason i gave them two stars is because the food is quite good and we were allowed to stay for a while. The bill came to be handwritten? It was expensive for what we ordered and the service we received. Would not come back.

Very attentive service and passionate team. The food was creative, fresh and delicious…read more Why 4 stars and not 5? - for the tasting menu, the portions were very small. I understand there's variety and effort that were put into the dishes but the portions were not up our standards. I was hungry again after an hour and had to eat again that evening. Ambiance was quaint and cute but would have been nicer to have more space.

I'm shocked to see that they don't have more 5 star reviews…read more First off, the space- it was a very windy night and we were seated on the cozy patio (where all tables were) so it was a little cooler then comfortable- the staff took note of my friend and I looking not too comfortable and offered to move us inside (they had 3 tables in there) or offered us blankets. We took them up on the blankets and it made the weather comfortable. The staff were so very attentive and knowledgeable and friendly! They noticed every little thing and did their part to ensure you were having an amazing experience. We were too full to finish our dessert and they immediate asked us if there was an issue with it. I appreciate that they were open to any feedback. Now the food- and we went with the tasting menu and WOW it was a lot of delicious food, I'm truly confused by the reviews but maybe because I like my food "cleaner" so I appreciate that the peas were served raw to showcase their natural sweetness. I'm still thinking of the peas. I love that the dinner was full of butters and sauces - it felt clean, carefully thought out and not over indulgent in forcing food to be good but more focus on spotlighting flavours that are already there. As a pescatarian they accommodated me with fish and non meat options which were Devine! Some of the standout is the scallop and raw peas and the cod main, I was so full by this point but couldn't leave any cod uneaten. Also the salad that accompanied the main was DELICIOUS, the lettuce was SO crisp and the vinaigrette- I would drink the vinaigrette. SO delicious- I'll definitely pop back in as they mentioned they change their menus weekly!
