The hotel lobby was nicely decorated for the holiday season, with a Christmas tree, large "Happy Holidays" sign, and other festive decorations. The ambiance inside the restaurant, just like the rest of the hotel, was classy. Service was good. There was an option to do coat check at the front. Reservation is highly recommended, especially on weekends, as they tend to get very busy. Underground parking is available at the RBC building next door, or at the hotel. Food was really good, and in decent portion sizes. The sides were bigger than we thought, so we took away some leftovers. 1) PEI Mussels Pot (mussels with bell pepper & red onion vinaigrette), served with grilled sourdough bread - The bell pepper and red onion vinaigrette was delicious and on point. I liked that the pot had enough but not too much broth - enough to dip the bread in, but didn't fully cover all the mussels (making the mussels retain some of their original flavour). 2) Miso Black Cod (black cod with sake, miso, crispy lotus roots, sesame seeds, pea shoots) - One of my favourite dishes of the night. The cod was delicate and seasoned perfectly with the sake and miso. The crispy lotus roots added a nice crunch. 3) Mushrooms Bowl (jasmine rice, miso mixed mushrooms, roasted squash, crispy Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, chilli threads, garlic crisps, basil) - Great vegetarian dish. There was a LOT of rice in the bowl, and the rice was flavourful with the miso sauce. The mixed mushrooms were 10/10. I also liked the balance of cooked and raw vegetables in this bowl, giving a touch of freshness. For each main, we got to choose 1 side. We opted to add extra veggie sides. Brussels Sprouts were also available as appetizer, which came in a large bowl (bigger portion size compared to the side). We were able to get it without the bacon, and the vinaigrette sauce on the side. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy and flavourful, even without the vinaigrette add-on. The Grilled Vegetables side consisted of broccolini, zucchini, red and yellow peppers. Roasted Squash was lightly topped with a bit of chopped parsley. All of the sides that we got were excellent. After dinner, we headed out to the patio / terrace for the Christmas holiday market. There was a separate holiday market-special menu, with some light bites and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It was a small market, but decorated very nicely with all the lights, fire pits, and the iconic Ritz-Carlton vintage green car. It had 100% cozy Christmas holiday vibes, with great photo ops. Even though it was technically outside, the fire pits made the market area feel quite warm.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!

I remember when you had to go down some stairs to enter, but for quite a while they moved spaces. It's still a typical British inspired pub, but a gastropub. That is, bring lots of money. I managed to get a seat on the outdoor patio. Ordered a half pint and the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I was really hungry, which the attached photo shows. The crust of the pie was a great texture, nice and chewy at the edge, nice and soft where it was covering the filling. The chicken and veggies inside were cooked perfectly, as were the grilled green beans and carrots. And the mashed potatoes were smooth, but also from real potatoes. And the light brown savory gravy on top of everything brought it all together. Service was efficient and pleasant. They really knew how to handle a busy night. I loved the patio, and the inside is typical gastropub, nice and cozy. Not a bad spot for a few drinks and a meal if you're in Cabbagetown!

Basically, there's no reason not to come here. The cover charge becomes a wash the second you order your first cheap drink, or food that is seriously underpriced for the area. But, even if you're not going for a bite, just for the games, you'd spend more money at an arcade in about thirty minutes. Having the freedom to spend so much time with so many games, in a location that is so easy to get to is a real treat. Children have to leave around 8pm. But that's fine. They have bed times. So plan accordingly if you have kids, or if you want to avoid them.

Ten bucks for two levels of throwback gaming, genius level status!…read more We had a blast playing games from the 90's and 00's. There is a photo booth, a bar on each level and clean restrooms on the 2nd floor (not accessible tho). Pinball games, all the gaming consoles you could want, and guitar hero play-off's. What's there not to love?! We had a few drinks which were decently priced with sufficient strength. There are thin console tables between games to set your drinks on. Service was chill as well. The place is clean, hand sanitizers spread throughout and not a sticky surface in sight. Beats playing in your mom's basement...lol!

Great spot to meet up with friends, whether inside or outside on the patio in the summer, it's just part of Toronto that is so lovable.
