First off, the decor and vibe are amazing; you can tell they put a lot of thought into the design, and since it's new, the space is spotless. We started with drinks and moved on to dinner--the service was seamless and fast without making us feel rushed. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. In my opinion, the pricing is very fair and "normal" for the quality of the meal. We got Thai red curry, steak frites and tuna poke bowl. looking forward to explore the rest of their menu. read more

My experience at Cactus Club Cafe was pretty incredible! When we got here it was roughly about 9:00 o'clock and the happy hour was just beginning. This is easily one of the major pluses about this restaraunt was the length happy hour menu. I ordered the crispy tofu bowl. It was honestly one of the best food items I've had in a long while. It was packed with various flavors and very fulfilling. I ordered a side of broccolini which didn't come out until after I was nearly finished with my food. My friends throughly enjoyed their food! read more

This is our official spot for date night, birthdays and anniversaries! The food hits every time. The quality is consistent! And I have yet to order something I didn't enjoy! The customer service is always good. From the host to the servers, everyone is nice and accommodating to us no matter how busy the place is. Also recommend reservations if you want a guaranteed table. read more

Great place to have dinner and drinks. They have a variety of options so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the beef carpaccio and the waitress made an excellent recommendation with the ravioli. It was busy so I'd recommend making a reservation for weekend dinner. read more

Came out for a work lunch, and Cactus Club was the perfect place to go for some delicious food. I have been to other locations before but this was my first time at the Willowdale location. We were able to get seated fairly quickly, and the hostess/servers were very kind! Great service always stands out more than food, and we were very happy with our overall experience here! The food is always exceptional here and I never have complaints on how the food tastes. Cactus Club just knows how to make delicious food and I will always stand by that. We ordered a bunch of things to try including the: Salmon Sushi, Hot Chicken & Pickles, Citrus Calamari, Blackened Creole Chicken and Creme Brulee for dessert! Like I said before for my other Cactus Club location review I will always go back for the Blackened Creole Chicken! 9/10 Recommend! read more

It's the Cactus Club... Another West Province bar using the same formula of chic bar, fusion foods, and the standard serving staff in tight black outfits. Unlike the other places, I do like Cactus Club. As I have been living in both great cities of Toronto and Vancouver, I've had the priviledge of experiencing the west coast effect. Like I said, of all the standard Earls, Moxie's, Milestones, Chop places and the like, Cactus Club Cafe stands out with their great drinks, delish foods, and each spot is designed to maximize the ambiance of where they are. I have to say, of all the CCC's I've been to, This location is really amazing. The modern look of bar area, the comfortable dining spaces, and the plush patio with roof slats that open... They went an extra mile for this place. So... If I liked it so much, why the 4 stars? Let me say that impressions given by whomever was our server part 2 was less than stellar. We were from a tight bar side seat to the patio area as our peeps will be going from 2 to 4 people. We were moved to near the end of the patio and comfortably seated. The server came up and we asked for the drinks menu and OMG... Attitude!!! She did not appreciate having people sent to her area that was already seated at another place. Lunch was had but we wanted more cocktails and she just fluttered off to talk to someone about it. Like WTF!?! I had the fortuitous luck that I met Giovan (possible spelling mistake) in the underground parking and elevator and had a quick chat about the various CCC's I've been to... and he was very pleasant. I ran into him again after our little kerfuffle with the server that didn't seem to have enough substance to handle mini crises in her life - however did not mention anything to him about it. Oh... BTW - he's one of the managers it turns out. He was more than happy to help up out and turn the whole experience around. Totally appreciated the extra mile that he went. The other server - totally left the scene and we ended up with a new person. What a breath of fresh air after such a toxic person with attitude issues. Total first impression of a 2 saved to a 4. My personal experience aside, this CCC is definitely worth the visit. Biz meetings, friends catch up, fam outing, and date nights approved. Cheers! read more

CACTUS CLUB CAFE . . celebrated a friends birthday here and wow was it amazing. It was both of our first time at Cactus Club Cafe and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food. It was pretty busy on a weekday for lunch so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time just in case. Our server made some great recommendations and was attentive most of the lunch service. We also got a free dessert at the end so that was a bonus! . . Truffle Parmesan Chicken 5/5 Blackened Creole Chicken 4/5 London Fog Crème Brûlée 4/5 read more

Cactus club for me is like any of the other big name franchises with similar menus. It's better than many other places. Dishes are good. Variety of options for everyone's taste buds. You can find something for everyone. We came here for birthday celebrations and the place was packed. 2 hour seating limit. It's dark in there; so hard to read the menu for older clientele. LOL. Happy hour on weekends start at 10pm so the place kept getting busier as the nite went thru. Also free underground parking that can be validated. And after 6pm it's covered for the entire nite. Overall a good place to gather with friends. No complaints read more

I celebrated my birthday here last 2024. It became our go to spot with my boyfriend for special occasions. I always love their patio during summer too. The food is impeccable and drinks are always such a blast. It is a busy restaurant regardless of that, their service is top notch every time we visit here. These are snippets of all the food I ordered from them throughout the years read more

Finally visited this spot with my partner after seeing its grand opening--we had been curious for a while and wanted to see if it lived up to the buzz. Truffle Parmesan Chicken - Surprisingly good, better than my expectation, $34.25 Cheddar Bacon Burger - Decent, but not particularly memorable given the $25.75 price tag Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bar - The highlight of our meal! Rich, indulgent, and clearly a fan favourite (lots of praise in online reviews too) While we originally hoped to try their coffee, we learned they don't offer coffee--but their extensive wine list makes up for it, and wine lovers will feel well taken care of. Interior, Seating： Great ambiance and atmosphere--stylish decor and music that enhances the experience Prices are on the higher side for some dishes compared to similar dishes elsewhere, but the space and vibe give it a distinct character Overall Value This isn't a place I would go to for everyday dining, but it's worth checking out for the vibe and unique menu. While not every dish I tried was standout, but I only been there once, the dessert was excellent and there's a lot more I'd like to try--like the Baja fish tacos, Szechuan lettuce wraps, scallop & prawn ceviche, and other small plates. Tips: Popular spot, especially during peak hours and weekends--reservations recommended unless you're going during quieter times Come during non-peak times for a more relaxed experience, and don't expect coffee--but explore the wine menu if that's your thing. Tried this place yet? Let me know what you ordered--or what you'd go back for next time! read more

Went for late dinner and took advantage of their happy hours meal which starts at 9pm. Appetizers are about $3-5 dollars cheaper than regular menu while main course is about $8-10 cheaper. My steak frites costed me $28.50 instead of $38 yet portion size looks the same. The place looks crowded when we arrived, with almost every table seated on a Wednesday evening. The Angus steak was cooked correctly to medium rare though it leans slightly on the chewy side and took a bit of effort to cut. The salad was forgettable while the fries was barely salted. It was pretty easy to get my parking validated. read more

Went to this bar recently with some close friends, and we had a nice time The servers were all sweet, though they kept switching ours for some reason lol - the last one we got was a little slow on checking in for extra orders or updates. Still, she was friendly! Loved the atmosphere here though - nice vibe, and the drinks were great. I tried this gin spritz something cocktail (can't remember the exact name), and it was delicious. Definitely a great spot for a date night! -Just one thing- if you want more privacy, let them know upfront. We got seated right in the middle, which isn't really my thing, but no big deal. Overall, really enjoyed it and would go back! read more

Catus might be my new fave spot for happy hour I got the steak frites, avocado dip, and salmon aburi. I started off with a Peach Bellini, it was so good and super strong! Came on sunday at 9pm and it was super busy, but got sitted right away, I would recommend making a reservation if you have a perferred sitting like patio, bar, lounge, hightop etc. Steak frites 8OZ comes with fries (upgraded to truffle $3.50) and salad. I would give it a 7.5/10 I did ask for medium rare but they over cooked by a little it tasted a bit dry as well, the downtown location made it way better tbh. Avocado dip was super delicious and the favourite appetizers of the night! the gauc was super smooth and tasted super good with hot sauce on the side 10/10. I didn't find anything special for the aburi salmon roll, wouldn't get again 7/10! They're located on top of a building so you will either have to take stairs or elevator (wheelchair accessible) there's a Green P near by, wouldn't recommend street parking. Clean restrooms and the restaurant was quite spacious, love how they have 2 entrances. Our server Anya was quite busy but she was attentive and checked up on us every once a while. She was nice and fast to get little things we asked for! She helped us get my friend her bday london fog creme brulee for her bday as well! read more

I really enjoyed the happy hour menu, there was lots to choose from and the pricing was moderately priced. The service was somewhat slow for a Saturday evening. Now mind you there was a Shay's game happening but they lost so it cleared fast. The booth and restaurant seemed clean busy. Again happy hour starts at 10pm, there's lots to choose from. It's a good vibe with friends and guaranteed options for anyone. read more

How exciting that this location of Cactus Club is finally open in North York! Have always been a huge fan of Cactus Club's downtown location and was so ecstatic to see that they've finally opened their North York location as well. Now you don't have to trek all the way downtown to enjoy this gem. Food here is always solid, great ambiance and great service. Here's what we got: Frozen bellini 5/5 - Sweet, tarte and slushy. Perfect if you like something on the refreshing side. Tuna Stack 5/5 - My go to appetizer. You can ahi tuna mixed with avocado, microgreens, served on a wonton crisps. Well balanced flavours and great for sharing. Chili Citrus Calamari 5/5 - A great appie to share. Crispy calamari pieces with a citrus dip and szechuan peppercorns. Perfectly fried with a crunch. Avocado Kale Salad 5/5 - Oh my goodness I could lick this plate clean. It's fresh, crunchy from the chickpeas, well dressed in their garlic dressing and a great side to add to your meal or have as an entree. Baja Fish Tacos 4/5 - Can't go wrong with fish tacos. It's made with pacific cod and topped with red cabbage. Loved these 3 biters and you can add an additional taco if you're a party of 4 (they come in 3s). Rigatoni Bolognese 4/5 - Rigatoni with slow cooked beef and pork ragu with truffled pecorino. This was delicious, umami and packed with flavour. Blackened Creole Chicken 5/5 - A must get! Don't sleep on the chicken! It's moist on the inside and pairs perfectly with the mashed potatoes. Always a great time here with even better food! A must visit when you're in the area. read more

After what it seems like months of waiting, the Yonge and Shepherd location for Cactus Club Café has finally open. We came to check it out on weekend and was able to get seat seats in the bar area. I would definitely recommend reservations, as it was quite full. We got cocktails, the tuna stack, crabcakes, and fish tacos to share. I really liked the tuna stack as it was served with really light and delicate chips, which didn't compete with the tuna. The crab cakes was packed with crab, which was delicious. Service was a little slow, but friendly and helpful. We just had to flag down water a couple times. Looking forward to checking out their happy hour in the future. read more

Located inside the Sheppard and Yonge building. They have validation for parking which we didn't know so we'll do that for next time. The venue itself is really big with lots of seating space. TV on some corners for viewing Our service was pretty slow and server was quite hard to find after we had our first set of appetizers ordered. The sushi here isn't good at all, but obviously you wouldn't come here seeking for their sushi. The salmon aburi was a tiny piece on top. The wagyu carpaccio was really good and the calamari. The calamari is spicy and for someone who cannot handle spicy food, this was very tolerable. The texture and seasoning were perfect and cooked just right! We got the peanut butter dessert which was really delicious but it's something you can't finish by yourself, definitely can be shared. Creme brulee was divine. I would come here again and order the calamari with more friends and family! read more

This is a new Cactus Club location. At first, when I was seated, the service was immeasurably slow. It took over 15 minutes to get a glass of water. However, the service picked up and the food actually came out quite quickly. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was delicious. I love the fact that they validate parking. Other than the small snafu at the beginning, my experience was very pleasant and I enjoyed the service, food and atmosphere. I will be back! PS: venue is quite busy, so reservations are recommended! read more

No one from Cactus Club has ever contacted me. It took 30 days for a "business customer service" person to reply on Yelp, not next day; no "sorry", no apology, no "please give us another try". All the customer service person had to say was " we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. It's important for us to know where we can improve to enhance our guest experience. Please fill out this form so our team can follow up with you directly:" No one ever called. One visit and I took Cactus Club off my list. There are so many better restaurants in Toronto. read more

Went here for happy hour and it didn't disappoint..the option on the food menu us great. And drinks are good as well. The service is excellent. The time they serve the food is fast but quality is great.. very delightful taste of food. Happy hour price is not to bad but of course serving the dinner would be more pricey. Staff are very friendly and the interior is a vibe. I went at the north york location But I have been in sherway garden as well. Overall experience is great. Definitely will come back. read more

Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 4/5 Food A friend raved about Cactus Club so hubby & I thought we would try it. He ordered the Hamburger with fries & I had the Beef Rigatoni. My dish was way too salty for me. The garlic bread that came with the rigatoni was nice, but also quite salty. Hubby said his hamburger was okay but nothing special. I tried some of his french fries & found them over salted as well. For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake & that was very delicious. As for pricing, I thought the food was quite expensive for what we got. Service Our waitress was a beautiful young lady. She looked to be in her early twenties. She was professional enough. Just not friendly. She looked like she would rather be somewhere else than working. Service was quite relaxed. I'm not sure if that's because there wasn't enough waitstaff, if the kitchen was slow, or what. In any case, it took some time to get things. We ordered drinks & that took longer than 10 minutes. We ordered our main dishes & that took more than 10 minutes as well. The restaurant didn't look too busy. It wasn't even half full when we got there on a Saturday afternoon. Ambiance This location was opened recently so everything looks new. It has a modern design. The colour palette is light wood tones, black seats, and pops of colour. There are some neon signs on one side of the restaurant near the doors that lead to the street. Washrooms were clean and all light wood walls for the stalls. Conclusion It's a nice looking space. Hubby & I thought we could get better food elsewhere for a better price though. I don't think we will come back here. read more

I love cactus Club Cafe and I wanted to try their new location even before their grand opening. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor of Yonge-Sheppard Centre and is accessible by both stairs and elevator. They have 3 sections: bar, lounge and patio. Patio is covered and heated during cold seasons. They're busy at all times, so I'd recommend making reservations even for weekdays. The staff are friendly and attentive. We came here for a weekday dinner and sat on the patio. I loved the patio vibes; and glad that we didn't sit im the lounge. We ordered "Truffle Fries", "Avocado Kale Salad + Salmon", "Avocado Kale salad + Chicken", "Green Goddess Salad + Salmon", "Lemongrass Noodle salad" and "Tuna Stack". Our food was fresh and delicious. Since we were celebrating our friend's birthday, they surprised us with a Crème Brûlée, which we appreciated. read more

My family and I came here to celebrate a family member's birthday. I have been to their downtown location, and I was okay with it. So let's give this one a try. There's ample parking in the Sheppard-Yonge Centre and restaurant will cover the parking cost, just ask the server to validate for you. So onto the review, when my family and I walked in, we noticed a good ambiance for chats and the service team is very on the ball. Good was quite good, to my surprise. I ordered a shrimp spaghetti and I was pleasantly surprised with the flavour. Wish I gotten more bread to soak up the sauce! Overall very good experience and we decide to come back in the near future. read more

Came here on their grand opening for happy hour. I don't usually venture out for late night happy hour, but my flight back to Toronto was delayed. I ordered a virgin caesar and my husband got the bellini. We got the fried chicken with pickles to share as a late night snack. We both enjoyed our drinks. The fried chicken hit the spot for our late night craving - most pieces were chunky but I did find the batter on the thicker side. The vibe that night was definitely very lively and there were multiple parties waiting for a seat after 10pm! read more

I think they serve the best Bellini, though the other food that night was a bit on the salty side. The table design was really clever - we were seated in a private booth near the wall. Despite it being a busy night, it was surprisingly quiet in our corner, and we had a great, joyful time. read more

What an amazing restaurant! Fantastic vibe and atmosphere. I met a high school friend here for the first time after many years. Upon request management understood the need to sit in the quieter area of the establishment in order to catch up with each other! They even treated us to a sushi roll which was amazing to celebrate the unique occasion. We started with fantastic margaritas and ordered the ahi bowl and the chicken teriyaki bowl. Everything was absolutely perfect. The bar area gets noisy therefore if looking for a quieter setting I recommend making a reservation in the dinner area. There is paid parking beneath the building and you have to take the stairs or elevator to reach the restaurant. Once there , enjoy the amazing views through the glass surrounding. read more

We had a lunch experience on a Monday afternoon. The service was extremely slow as it took 30 minutes to get our drinks only after we asked the server if there was an issue. The appetizer also took almost 40 minutes to come to the table. The WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO was excellent. We had it modified as my guest had an egg allergy so we had the ailoi on the side. It was outstanding. The mains were the chicken tacos and the med bowl. Both mains were extremely good. The meal took almost 1 hour and 45 mins. They do validate underground parking however it appears only for 1 hour. lol we will be back. Just expect to spend 2hours even for lunch. read more

Came to see the new location. Public transportation is available. Paid parking but is reimbursed by restaurant with a meal. I had to wait even though we had a reservation. Waited an addition 20 minutes. The place was wall to wall people having a great time. When we were seated I had the following. Avocado dip. It comes with salads chips which are warmed up. Not house made but the plus they were not stale. The dip itself is super fresh and light and fluffy. Seasoned well with salt, pepper and hints of galic. It was so good we ordered two. I also ordered the chicken avocado salad. Standard salad but the chicken was a bit dry but seasoned well. The avacodo was a full piece and was not hard or to soft. The atmosphere was hopping and being full the floor staff were doing an amazing job making sure we were taken care of. Enjoy read more

Cactus Club Cafe - Cream Brûlée - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Today is the grand opening of the long-awaited Cactus Club Cafe at Yonge-Sheppard Centre. They really took their time with the renovations but it looks great. The music is a bit loud but overall, it's got a nice modern and chic vibe. My husband and I came for Happy Hour, which is offered from 2-5pm and 9pm-close every day. For food, we ordered the truffle fries ($8.50), Cajun chicken sandwich ($17), and hot chicken & pickles ($15.50). The standout dish was definitely the truffle fries - crispy and well seasoned. They were also able to accommodate our request for sauce and parmesan on the side. The cajun chicken sandwich was good but nothing special. The hot chicken was a bit hard because the batter was too thick and the pieces of chicken were kinda small. I was hoping for it to come with dill pickles but it came with bread and butter pickles. For dessert, we got the London fog creme brûlée ($8) which was pretty good. The sugar was caramelized well, the blueberries were fresh, and the earl grey flavour was strong. For drinks, we got the longboard lager ($5) and the sunset soda ($5). Unfortunately, they didn't serve the beer in a chilled glass like they do at the downtown location, but it's still a good beer. The sunset soda was refreshing with an orange vodka soda base and a dollop of bellini slush. Perfect when you want the bellini taste but not an entire frozen drink. Overall, I'd say that the best part of their happy hour menu is their drinks. You can choose from some pretty good options starting at $5, which is amazing. The food is just ok and still fairly pricey but if you need something to eat with your drinks, I'd highly recommend the truffle fries! read more
