Booked this trip through a Groupon deal with some friends. The boat was supposed to be the Aurora…read moreBorealis but we ended up boarding this one. We boarded quite late. Boarding time was supposed to be 5:30 but we didn't get on until quarter past 6 because there were dumpsters in the way. It was very unorganized. You could see staff running around cleaning and loading food onto the boat. When we finally got on, it looked a bit sad and dingy. I think the washrooms were the best kept part. Brightly lit with heaters and seats. Full length mirrors and nice decor. As an apology for keeping us waiting we all got a free shot on the house. Belvedere. It was a chilly night out so that definitely warmed us up. Dinner proceeded shortly after. Dinner rolls, caesar salad, pasta and chicken skewers. It wasn't anything fancy, stuff you could easily whip up at home but it wasn't bad at all. Bar and DJ were at the upper deck. Lots of birthday celebrations that night. Mixed crowd but overall everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There really was no wow factor overall for this cruise. I'm glad we got it for cheaper. I wouldnt pay full price for it. Because of the people I was with I had a good time but if you're looking for something fancy, this isn't it.

I have to admit that I actually didn't take the boat for a cruise, but I was tormented by it for…read moretwo weekends in a row. the music is way too loud. I tried to had a relaxing time at the Ontario Place on a Sunday and Saturday afternoon, a picnic with friends... what I got instead? overwhelming and throbbing beats from Stella Borealis that seemed to be moored in front of Trillium Park in the Ontario Place for a more than an hour not going absolutely anywhere. next weekend the same sh%#. seriously, this boat is suppose to cruise around Toronto Islands, yet it spends more than an our around the Ontario Place two weekends in a row. till I've read these reviews I thought honestly nobody on board cares about where they go as long as they have music and booze, and I wanted to suggest going as far from the waterline as possible (like middle of Ontario lake seriously, to spare all beach/park goers, not to mention just Toronto or Toronto Islands residents ears). can the management of the company consider how obnoxious to so many people their enterprise is? Can they play the music not so loud, or make the boat go farther away from he shore? or have it actually moving along instead being moored at the same place for more than an hour? Stella Borealis inflicts torture, it ruins experience for people who live in the city, don't own cottages and just have nowhere else to go but to the lake to cool off. I used to think jet ski were loud, but comparing to Stella Borealis music, jet ski engine sound is like a whisper. I mean it.

**Christmas Cheers with a Touch of Glam**…read more Celebrated a Christmas party at Storys Building, and the experience was a mix of luxury, fun, and high energy. The first two floors are dedicated to dinner seating, while the third floor hosts parties and gatherings. The space worked, but with the number of people invited, it felt a bit tight -- something to keep in mind for larger groups. The vibe was fantastic. Drinks were expertly crafted, the bartenders were attentive, and a DJ kept the energy flowing in the background. As the night progressed, everyone hit the dance floor, and the party truly came alive. Bathrooms were plentiful and well-maintained, and the thoughtful touch of wellness kits in the ladies' room added a hint of luxury. One minor hiccup was the coat check -- it was a bit congested and struggled to accommodate all the coats. But my biggest suggestion for improvement would be the addition of an elevator. Climbing three floors in heels and dresses proved challenging for many, and an elevator would make the space more accessible without taking away from its elegance. Overall, Storys Building delivers a lively, luxurious, and memorable party experience. The energy, drinks, and attention to detail make it a spot worth revisiting -- just come prepared for a little stair workout if you're headed to the third floor.

I recently came here for a corporate cocktail hour as a guest and the top floor space is fantastic…read more Lovely rustic building set up with standing tables, well spaced out to include a 360 photo booth, taco station, bar and check in area. I put a pair of sunglasses in my backpack's front pocket, I fully expected it to be crushed during coat check. The staff voluntarily assured me that they would make sure it was protected. I've been to other events where the coat check staff had lost my jacket, so the extra care on my belongings added to the positive experience. The staff there were pleasant and even remembered my face when I checked out my coat on the way out. The hors d'oeuvres were great, I enjoyed everything I tried, like the mini sliders, fried chicken, and bruschetta. We also had a taco station that was good too. I didn't expect any less since they are under the same hospitality group as Byblos and Patria, which I've dined at before and enjoyed. The biggest plus is the location, at the heart of the Entertainment District. It's close to many offices and the Financial District. Our cocktail hour ended in 2hrs but there are plenty of bars nearby to extend the get together for another drink. For example, Grace O'Malley's is just across the street and not too busy to grab a seat on a weekday night.
