Purple rain,  shishito peppers and edamame all delicious.
TJ W.

Enjoyed a light meal here. Didn't expect it to be light but it was due to the tapas style. That said do not come here when you're really hungry. Menu is limited. We were told it changed often. I'm not really a fan of restaurants do that because the items seen reviews are often no longer on the menu.... which was exactly the case this time. Overall food was pretty good. I recommend the fish taco appetizer. You'll need multiple orders if you need me than two. Prices were moderate. Service was good. View was not as expected but still a cute spot with a good vibe.

So back in July of 2024 we decided to take a trip to Toronto. What a beautiful city! We ended our trip at a rooftop restaurant recommended to us by our Lyft driver. Harriet's Rooftop is everything! You enter in through the 1 Hotel and go to the 16th floor. There you will find this gorgeous restaurant with great city views. We sat down at this beautiful booth adorned with soft pillows. Very comfortable seating. We were there for Happy Hour. The drinks were beautiful and tasty and the food was very good. We ordered sushi rolls, chicken sliders, ceviche and drinks. Please see the pictures. This place is a must if you are in the Toronto area.

Purple Rain

Harriet's has an amazing view of downtown Toronto. You can take pictures with the CN Tower in the background. We came here on a weekend and the rooftop had great vibes with a live DJ. Thankfully we were seated right away without a reservation. The service was hit or miss, though. It would take several minutes to find a server and flag them down but they were helpful once we were attended to. I ordered the purple rain and it was one of the most aesthetic cocktails I've seen. It was sweet and you could barely taste the alcohol. The prosecco adds a nice touch, too. The two rolls we ordered were the Truffle Scallop and the H-Roll. I'm a big fan of truffle but even the truffle paste dolloped on top of each roll was starting to get overwhelming. The H-Roll was delicious and has a kick of spice at the end from the spicy aioli sauce. We ordered the miso glazed cauliflower as an appetizer but it ended up coming after the rolls. I liked picking at the pomegranate seeds. Food and drinks are pretty pricy here but you're definitely paying for the ambience, too. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're visiting Toronto and looking for a nice rooftop bar.

Picture perfect spot for sunset, they even have a row of seating under the pool that gives first row view of sunset over the skyline. Not came for drinks but they also have restaurant service though it felt cramped for that. It's on top of the 1 Hotel which also has a very nice lobby bar/restaurant. Very moody and nature inspired. Definitely a trendy spot.

We had only 48 hours in Toronto so of course I had to check out some cool rooftops before we left. The only one I knew of was Bisha Hotel/Kost, but after doing some research I found out about Harriet's Rooftop. My party and I went to Kost first and they were just in love with the views, drinks, and bites. I convinced them to check out Harriet's for a different view and scene, not really knowing what to expect either. I called prior to see if we can even get in without a reservation. The lady on the phone was so sweet and kind and said if we get there before 9pm, we'll be able to at least get in and stand by the bar, otherwise it's a gamble. I gathered the troops and we made it by 8:45pm. We walked in and there was a wedding reception going on on the right, but the left side was full of greenery! Got to the rooftop and everyone's jaws dropped. My entire party thought the views and the pool were immaculate and I definitely agree. The vibes here were amazing! Luckily we were able to get a sunset and nighttime view here. The changing colors in the pool was the perfect touch. The only downside and reason for 1 less star is the lack of space to stand. There was barely any room by the bar without people and servers walking by. And the same with standing behind the pool. At this point it might've been better to get a reservation so we at least had a table to sit at. I got the espresso martini which was great! And reasonably priced for a rooftop bar like this. I would definitely recommend going to Harriet's for the nighttime view!

Such a cute rooftop and you're able to see a great view of Toronto. Music was good and it was a nice mix of people there

On a sunny day, sitting down on the roof patio is like walking into a secret garden with epic views of downtown Toronto. Great spot to take tourists or have a casual business meeting. They have a neat little rooftop infinity pool in summer. Drinks are pretty good and while the prices are expensive ($20 cocktails, $15-20 for a glass of wine), it is generally in line with other fancy bars in the area. The evening crowd leans a bit more towards the 'pretentious' types - think Instagram models and trust fund bros - something to be aware of if you're looking for a more casual vibe. Service can be a bit spotty, especially when it gets more crowded.

My sister and I came here before the Taylor Swift concert and it was perfect! They had a DJ playing all her music and the ambiance was amazing. The food and drinks were delicious. We would definitely go back!!

We came during a special event weekend and had the Caribana menu, so I think our experience will be different than most. But their food is so thoughtfully prepared and flavorful. The service is incredible. And the views are so fun! Definitely worth a try, and if they move the black cod cakes to their everyday menu, you must give it a try!

Came for a private event at Harriet's rooftop and was left a bit disappointed. I was so excited to come to this beautiful rooftop for drinks and food but unfortunately everything was below par for our party. To start, our reservation at 9PM included an entire section of the restaurant/ rooftop. Which unfortunately was not given to our party on time, since there was another previous private party that lingered around in our designated space. Service throughout the night was lacking & slow. Many times we were left empty handed without any drinks around which is unfortunate. Food was mediocre and only served on one side of our space, many times the party goers did not even know there was food available to us. Having additional servers throughout the night would have alleviated some of these issues. Views are nice as you get the Toronto skyline and rooftop pool in your photos. Overall if there are more staff working here in the future who are more attentive I can see it being a hit!

Amazing evening at Harriet's! From the food to the atmosphere to the service. All first class! Fun, and polished everything was spot on!! The music and the vibe were chill and swank without going overboard. Get the scallop role! Tabi our server is a gem, five star service!! Fun, informative and passionate... heck even her recommendation for Sunday brunch was perfect! (Try School) Highly recommend Harriet's!

This was one of the best meals and experiences of the year…read more The shaved prime rib steak with the dipping au jus plus French onion soup as an appetizer... this was phenomenal. 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.

Our drinks came out quickly and well made. They have a great wine list and we took advantage of it. So, ambience - check. Service - check. But it was the food that blew us away I started with the Wagyu carpaccio that emma's to die for. Just perfect with the crostinis. The my wife had the avocado bowl with salmon and I had the mushroom striploin. Both meals just freaking delicious- these folks have it down to a science and the food was off the charts. Some people may disagree because it's a chain restaurant but when they hit on all cylinders, which they have every time we've been there, it's awesome. Cactus Club - highly highly recommended.

Ambiance: Stunning from the moment you walk in. Despite the soaring ceilings and two-level layout, the space still feels intimate thanks to the dim, romantic lighting. 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. Both of us work in the area and will absolutely be spreading the word with our teams. I left feeling like a very lucky lady after such a memorable birthday celebration. We can't wait to return!

The room is small, intentional, and lovely: intimate seating, a sculptural emerald bar, and an atmosphere drawn from the Japanese cocktail tradition. The aesthetic is precise without being cold, and the candle-warm lighting encourages exactly the kind of unhurried conversation that a well-made cocktail deserves. But the bartenders are the true heart of the place. On the evening of my visit, the two behind the bar moved with a remarkable synchrony -- finishing each other's thoughts, trading warmth and wit in equal measure, drawing guests effortlessly into the orbit of their easy rapport. It is the kind of hospitality that cannot be trained into existence; it is either present or it isn't, and here it is very much present. The cocktail menu is East Asian in its inspiration and genuinely inventive in its execution.

Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. 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.

We came strictly for cake as we had eaten right before, but we took a peek at the winterlicious menu, and the prices looked super affordable! We ordered the cake and yes, it maybe just be a tall slice of cake, but it was moist and decadent and probably my favourite cake. Overall, if you are a chocolate cake fanatic, this is the place to go!
