I had a great experience here, though I don't know how relatable it will be to anyone visiting here most other times. I came for their Superbowl party last week. Though they could've done more in terms of atmosphere for the party, they totally nailed it in terms of the food. For $25, they had a pig roast buffet. It was as advertised since they brought out an entire roast pig (head included) and then carved by the buffet area. The pig was cooked heavily in Jack Daniels honey liqueur​. Of all meats, pork lends itself best to sweet and it certainly paired perfectly here. The skin was almost like candy and the pork belly literally shot out the marinade when bitten into. The buffet included cornbread, potato salad (dijon mustard-based - my favorite way), coleslaw (vinegar based - again my preference), along with homemade kettle chips and a few dips. A concise​ buffet, but each item was done very well and cohesive together. Terrific value at $25. A few at my table ordered from the menu. It looked pretty good, though I can't really speak to it. At the very least, they still deserve high marks based on my visit. It's not likely you'll come and a pig roast will be available, but I had a good enough impression of the place that I would at least give my blessing to anyone interested in checking the place out. read more

Celebrated my birthday and got a complimentary dessert which is good, went here on Friday during lunch time and seems not too busy but we were not given good seats, tried asking for somewhere bright and comfy but gave us seats at quite a dark place. But Love the steak and carbonara! read more

Been here twice for dinner. It's a beautifully designed space with lots of seating in the dining room as well as the bar area. Lots of TV showing sports as well. An interesting selection of beer. It's really from everywhere; they serve the usual suspects, craft beer as well as imported beer. A good spread! Food is on point, as it should be for a chain. Steak Frites are fabulous! Steak is tender and cooked to order with a pile of fries. You will not leave hungry. On my second visit, I tried the Righteous Greens. It's a tasty vegetarian dish with a kick. This is a one way trip to flavour town. Last but not least...the Chocolate Cake. Did I want to try a different dessert on my second visit? Yes. Did I? No. That giant slice of chocolate heaven was calling me. Coated in a fudge-like icing with some cherry in the middle, this cake was a sweet ending to each of my visits. Service is great. The servers all seem to have an outgoing and fun personality. The hostesses were grumpy. On my second visit, seems I was the only one with a reservation waiting in the crowd of people. Was 15min early, she said my table wasn't ready. No big. 7pm rolled around, so I went and asked. Felt like she forgot about us! I made the reservations for the bar, but they seated us in the dining room. Boo. Still a cool spot. Will probably be back! read more

Had the Carbonara and the fish tacos. Both were good, but nothing extraordinary. Definitely offers a good selection and many tv screens for sporting events. read more

I came by here for dinner one night. I had a lobster dish, which was just ok. The drinks were delicious! I definitely enjoy a well-crafted cocktail and this place did not disappoint. The decor is modern, but inviting. It is definitely fun for a night out or a dinner. read more

Just got back from a lunch with my director - thought I'd have itus immediately but surprisingly I'm doing pretty well! The place itself is huge and the location - damn they scored on that one, a step away from union station. Very modern and fancy inside, you'll never see "non-financial district" human beings here. For lunch we had the turkey burger with sweet potato fries + the open faced avocado toast with regular fries. The food was sooo good! It was a pleasant surprise to see that the burger was mostly turkey and not too much bun and unnecessary toppings. The avocado toast looked hearty af. They don't give you too many fries, which I liked because me and sweet potato fries are a dangerous combo. There are very interesting things on the menu - naan chicken club? cheesecake stuffed french toast? huuuuh?? What a rollercoaster of emotions. Would love to try the more unhealthy things on my next macro free day. Service is great too- thanks Santana for your hospitality, especially during a busy lunch hour. read more

This place was right across the street from our hotel which was perfect for our slightly hungover selves to get to for brunch Sunday morning. The decor is great, kind of modern style with the Edison bulb and dark wood. It was beautiful inside. We were seated pretty quickly and the server was attentive and quick with our orders and such. Most of us got the Lobster Benny and one got the brisket Mac and Cheese. She had asked the server if it was enough for one person and the server said yes. But when it arrived it was like a very small cut out from a baked pan, and not like a regular bowl of Mac and cheese. So that was weird. The Lobster Benny was perfect however. So we finish up and the waitress messed up the ordered for the bill. Also one of the girls tells us that last time she was there she found a live lady bug in her car and the owner gave her his card and told her to tell the server "he'll take care of her". So she tells the waitress and the manager comes back and say they'll comp our mimosas. So we get new bills still messed up so we get new bills messed up in a different way. It was all very confusing!! But we got it figured out finally. It was just kind of an okay experience. I would probably return if I lived in that area but not as a visitor. read more

The atmosphere was great and the scenery facing Front St. was nice. There are TVs near the bar and the acoustics were good, didn't find our conversation overwhelmed from the surrounding noise. The service was alright. The hosts seated us immediately. Our waiter was dealing with a lot of customers and he was sweating profusely, so I do appreciate the effort. He made it a point to strike up a small conversation. Ordered the Margarita pizza and my colleague order the Landing burger with fries. She seemed to enjoy her dish. I was able to finish the pizza solo because the crust was more like a cracker. Very thin, tomato sauce was good, cheese good, but I generally don't like whole tomato slices on pizza. Would rather see them cut up or just keep them off and leave it with tomato sauce. Overall decent option in the downtown core for lunch. With an iced tea it was around 23ish, but it is downtown so the price is to be expected. read more

Awesome place to eat and drink before an event at the Air Canada Centre. Our party of 6 had exemplary service, on a Friday night no less. Kelly's Landing is huge! I think it used to be a Kelsey's? Lots of seating and TVs for all your sports-watching-needs. The food is above average for a downtown upscale sports bar. I really enjoyed my margherita pizza. Plus, $13 for a 30oz pint of Heineken (that butuys drinks special) is key. I wish we had more time before the Raptors game because you better believe you won't find drink-specials at the ACC. What I loved most is our server made a point to get us out of the restaurant in time for the basketball game AND he took the most creative video of our table without me having to ask - what a gem. read more

First Day open after COVID allowing patio seating. Food was very mediocre. In fact they need to change their deep fryer oil. Our wings tasted slightly rancid. Sports bars should have the best nachos and wings around. These were pretty bad. The service was great and the hosts and servers were enthusiastic and helpful and above board. read more

I decided to eat here with a friend a few hours before my flight out from Billy Bishop airport -as the restaurant is located right across the the shuttle pickup point,in front of the Fairmont. A large venue - equipped with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There is even a retractable sun roof on one side! The good menu was simple and the drink menu elaborate. However the downfall was that the food took forever to come out-over 1hr!! I ordered a turkey burger with a side of sweet potato fries -20$. It wasn't anything special. My friend ordered a medium well done steak frites that the kitchen kept on screwing up, both times the steak was cooked medium rare. The staff did not offer us a complimentary drink or something to compensate for the mishap or the delay in time to serve our meals -when I mentioned I needed to catch my flight in 30 mins. My friend did noticed more fries on her plate! Cheap replacement. We did get complimentary cookies once we got the bill. This place is good for casual drinks for watching a game - I wouldn't come here for food. read more

Second visit to Kelly's Landing but this time with my my aunties and it was a Saturday around the lunch hour. First, the staff at the front desk greeted us with big smiles and friendly dispositions. What was great was they asked if a high table would be ok. This was great because my aunties are older women and one has knee issues and just generally it would not be cool watching my fam struggle to get up or down off those chairs. So, I totally appreciated the thoughtfulness of that question right away. There is tons of space in the restaurant and I love the metal, glass and pops of color of the decor. The washrooms were big as well. The wide range of seating options gets points from me. Booths, standard tables, and larger high tables were visible so having the option of having my family - and may other person who may have mobility issues- closer to the ground was much appreciated! One issue, the booths- they were a little tight to get into especially with the bulk of winter coats (and shopping bags) that was not as comfortable. The table size could be smaller to make more seating room and room to maneuver, especially if you're older or just have challenges with moving around. As for the food! My aunts enjoyed their meals very much! Which was all I cared about! Pleasing my silver haired squad with my Restaurant choices. #priorities Our server was lovely, attentive and the food was served quickly. We all enjoyed our meals and the service that came along with it. We also got a cheerful goodbye from front desk staff on our way out. Great visit, great customer service and good food. I will likely go back especially if I'm at an event at Metro Convention Centre. It's super close by. read more

We got there as a group. The ratio of waiter to the number of us were not enough. We had to call for waitress many times, and their hands were busy. The quality of wood was not bad. Mine was good, although it was a lunch menu, it was pasta with eggs! People that got steak were nor happy about the meat. The payment was painful. There was only one machine and 20 of us. I have seen other establishments to use more than one machine, or ask another person to come and help them. read more

Kellys Landing, a new restaurant from The Landing Restaurant Group, has opened up at 123 Front Street, right near Union Station. It certainly is a welcoming spot in the area and a refreshing escape from the abundance of chain restaurants in the vicinity. I attended a sneak peak media event at Kellys Landing last week and I can assure you that this is your best bet for a lively atmosphere, brilliant food and top-notch drinks near the ACC/Union Station. Long gone are the days where you had to suffer with bad food from Jack Astor's or the lackluster Casey's Bar & Grill. Now you can get your pre or post game on in a spacious and modern setting full of made from scratch food items! The restaurant features an impressive 43' x 30' retractable roof so that even if you don't snag a spot on the patio you can still enjoy the weather while sitting inside. Besides having such a beautifully designed space, Kellys Landing has a well equipped menu. They feature 30+ wines, 24 beers on tap, crafted cocktails and a variety delicious food options. I do think that they need to beef up their craft beer selection, but that's just me being picky. Kellys also makes a hefty Caesar that is said to be the 'The Landing Cure' for your hangover. The food menu at Kellys is sectioned off into share plates, pizza, salads, burgers & sandwiches, mains and desserts. There is a mixture of classic Landing dishes and some newly crafted creations which I really like to see in a menu. They also have some great vegetarian options such as the Beluga Lentil Bolognese and the Righteous Greens Bowl. I tried a few of the dishes and really enjoyed the Brisket Mac & Cheese, Tune Poke Bowl, Artichoke & Cheese Pizza and the Landing Burger. Kellys Landing is also reintroducing their Beyond the Beer program, an initiative where 50 cents of every Dos Equis beer sold will go towards helping a local community organization. Kellys Landing has partnered with the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation. Proceeds raised will benefit research, education and the enhancement of patient care at Toronto General and Western Hospitals, as well as the Michener Institute of Education at UHN. read more

After a long flight, I came in on a hot afternoon to meet a buddy for a quick beer, maybe some food. Was greeted by the hostess and I asked, for their sake, if I could put my carry-on baggage somewhere, to which she responded "not really". Fine, but she could have put a bit more effort in given it wasn't a lot, and being directly across from Union Station, and being such a huge place they could have found somewhere. She then suggested I could keep it with me, again fine, but pointed to a little dark corner for me to sit in. I declined the offer and sat at the bar. The main bartender saw me, but she was busy so I was greeted by a manager type. Gave me a water and said he would be right back to take my order. He did not. The bartender finally came around, and decided to first serve the two suits who have came in well after she had noticed me sit down. She eventually asked, "are you doing okay here?" and, given I had nothing in front me, I asked for a beer. This place clearly only does well because of its location and proximity to the sports venues. I didn't stay long enough to try the food, so no comment there. Based on the first impression, I won't be back. read more

Located right at Front and York, Kelly's Landing is an optimal spot for post work drinks, pre game day drinks and everything in between. I came in a week within opening for drinks with a bunch of co-workers. The restaurant itself is great with lots of open space, an awesome patio, and good seating. We managed to get a couch section on the patio with our group. Service was iffy with some confusion upfront on who was server, a missed drink one but overall was acceptable given it's a new operation and a busy night. We had a couple appetizers which all met but didn't particularly exceed expectations. They have a healthy and wide alcohol selection ranging from plenty of wines to beers and hard liquor / cocktails - which we were able to get some custom stuff made I will be giving this 4/5 for now for the awesome atmosphere, prime location with reasonable pricing and acceptable food, service and drinks - overall it's a good spot. However I will need to return to try a full meal given some "less pleasant" experiences at another Landing group restaurant. read more

This place is the definition of "fine". It has nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food is a bit hit and miss. We ordered sliders off the kids menu for our daughter and they were TERRIBLE. Like the worst hamburger and bun combo shes ever had. Ugh. However our food was goos. The Peruvian Chicken Salad was really different and tasty. The sea scallops were well done. The oysters were tasty if on the small side. A bit pricey but great location so what do you expect? You could do a lot worse. read more

We came here for brunch on a Saturday at 12:30pm. We made a reservation beforehand, so we were seated right away. This place is quite large with many seats though, so lineups probably aren't too bad. There is a gender-neutral washroom as well. I ordered the landing breakfast, which comes with 1 slice of buttered multigrain toast, jam on the side, breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and 2 slices of peameal bacon. Both the food and service were decent. read more

The waitress (name unknown) was rude, unapologetic and argumentative. Poor attitude for someone who works in the service industry. My dinner entry wasn't as ordered. The waitress blamed it on the cooks "not listening". I don't tip someone unless I am satisfied with their service. The waitress was angry because she didn't receive a tip. My friend mentioned to me that the waitress was looking at the keypad as I entered my payment. A complaint was lodged with the general manager (Nathan Smith) who said that the server was not usually like that. GM went as far to say that the "story" that he was told by my friend and myself "may have been embellished". Such a patronising statement. I won't be giving Kelly's Landing any further business. read more

Came here for a Friday work lunch and it was pretty busy. Buffer for a 1 1/2 lunch. Service is good, but not considered fast for downtown Toronto. Must order: sausage picante pizza. Thin crust, great toppings and flavours. Prob one of my fav pizzas in town Can skip: the wings. For $14.50, I think we only got 7 wings. And it was either way too spicy (spicy jerk) or way too salty (ancho pepper lime). It's been well reno-ed since the last place. Cute fireplace under the sunlights and lots of TVs. read more

Always walk pass by the place but never went inside until today. We went in for some afternoon drinks, where our waitress told us that majority of seats were reserved for 5pm. Good thing we came early! Our waitress gave us a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream on top in celebration of her birthday. The splash of smoky cinnamon kick gave a great after taste! The service was friend and quick, dessert on the house always seal the deal, will come back later time for a full meal! read more

Recently went there with my husband and son, got great, friendly service from Court, she was awesome! We'll definitely be back!

We made reservations on the day of for an impromptu dinner gathering and we were seated promptly the moment we walked in. The bar area is crowded and full on a Thursday night, so the seating was a little tight but manageable. For dinner, I shared the Landing Carbonara, Seared Tuna Salad, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The carbonara was creamy and well balanced in flavor with plenty of cheesy goodness. It was the perfect dish for a cold winter day. The salad made a great counter balance to the heavier pasta since it was clean and crisp. The toffee pudding however, was a little disappointing. It tasted more like regular bread pudding since there wasn't nearly enough toffee or caramel flavors. Extra star for central location convenient location and great service! read more

Great food and environment. Steak and fries is perfect. Recommended. Great environment to watch any sport game. There is gluten free options as well. Dessert also good read more

Kelly's Landing's been opened for 2 weeks now and I've only had a chance to come try this place tonight. It's very convenient right by the GO trains and Union station. Most importantly it's by the ACC so it can get pretty packed on the game and concert nights. I walk by it everyday since they were doing construction to when it opened. There's a huge wrap around patio which is great. The decor is very modern and cool. All the doors are open so if you don't end up getting a patio seat you can still feel the cool breeze coming in from the outside. Only downside is that there were a lot of mosquitoes and fruit flies flying around while you eat. Food - my friend had the lobster fettuccine it's was $36 so you expect there to be a lot of lobster. There was a good portion of lobster but she said this dish was bland. Could use some flavour to it. My boyfriend and other friend both had the hamburgers and both said the hamburgers were dry and the buns were stale and not that great. However the fries that came with it was good. It's hand cut fries. The nachos we had to start was a bit greasy and the chips were stale. I had the Thai coconut mussels it was amazing! But the mussels were tiny. The sauce was really good though. For dessert we shared the sticky toffee pudding. Omg it's super sweet. I felt like my tooth was aching from all that sugar. It's didn't taste that good. Too sweet. The white sangria was amazing!! Loved it. My boyfriend had the Creemore special for $12! Huge beer, great value. Service was excellent, our server Chris was amazing and super nice. All in all the convenient location, excellent service and the decor of the restaurant made me give them a 3 star. Food was below average, I've had better. I would only come back for drinks and apps maybe not for a meal. The food needs to improve. read more

It's your standard fare for a Traditional American/Sports Bar. Drinks are varied, with daily deals for different beers, cocktails, and wines. My friends and I came here for some food before heading out for the night. We were seated right next to the fire which gave a great ambiance. Although the selection was small, it was great. I got the Sausage Picante Pizza which had a great flavour to it, and a nice kick of spice as well. My friends both got the Landing Carbonara which I got to sample a bit of. This pasta had the right amount of everything, with the pork tasting amazing. We also got a couple of drinks to compliment the meal, with the Coors steiners being on special that day, and another friend getting the passion fruit daiquiri, which was a bit on the sour side. Overall this is a place that is a pretty good go to, especially with it being right by Union station. read more

I will start with the good. It's a nice sports bar - several TV screens and good seating. The hostess at reception was friendly. Things started to go south when I sat at the bar. I waited over almost 10 minutes to get a menu. I will say that the server behind the bar was busy, so perhaps that could be excused. After receiving the menu, I was waiting for another 15 minutes. In that time, I saw her several other people. Including two men who had arrived maybe 5 minutes prior and were seated two seats down from me. The beer list seems decent, but I can't say anything beyond that, as I never got to try one. read more

Their appetizer portions are quite large and can be a full meal. I had the Thai Curry Mussels which comes with garlic bread. It was pretty good! Their cocktails were not as impressive though - everything seemed a bit watered down. But overall ambiance, service, and decor are good and I would come back to try the entrees. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening prior to the Raptors Game. Kelly's Landing is much like all the other LANDINGs in the GTA. This being a relatively new location it's a lot nicer and the venue is huge and can get crowded especially after work and/or before a concert or sporting event. The venue is clean, contemporary and welcoming. Big booths and televisions everywhere to keep its patrons engaged in a social environment. Their drink options are pretty good and they've got daily food and drink specials. However I decided to order a glass of wine, overall drink prices are somewhat reasonable since it's close to the financial district. As for food I decided to try their Kellys Landing burger, which was okay. Served with fries on the side it was an overall enjoyable meal. Best burger? I'd say I've had better. read more

I took the UP Express to downtown. And from there I walked to this restaurant. It was literally the 1st one I saw. The menu was pretty simple but the food was good. I ordered black bean chili. I loved it. It had a kick BUT 2and thought I probably should not have. I might have bubble guts later. Then I had the Peruvian chicken salad. It was okay. I didnt care too much for the creamy dressing but I literally ate it all anyway. I like the atmosphere and the staff a lot. read more

Kelly's Landing is an underrated spot. Its identity struggles between being an after work drinks, pre-game grub, or dinner with friends spot. Perhaps the fact that it doesn't stand out for any one of the above makes it versatile, as it can fulfil any of those roles. But that sort of makes it the second choice in most cases. Ok, I'm done rambling. read more

So we had a reservation for 4 people, 4:30pm today (on Saturday) We showed up a bit early and asked if we could sit at the bar for a drink while we wait for our table. The hostess was very accomodating and was able to get us seated at our table immediately instead. Unfortunately, that section of the restaurant was undergoing a shift change, so while there was plenty of staff walking around, none of them approached us. Eventually we raised the concern to a passing server and our server came over to us - 20 minutes before her own shift was scheduled to start. Her name is Victoria and she was fantastic. Not only was she very apologetic for something that was clearly not her fault, the manager was over in minutes to apologise as well. The food was fantastic except for a patch of brown lettuce in the Cesar salad, but everything else was amazing. The manager even went over and above to add a generous discount for any inconvenience. We will definitely be back. read more

Server was indifferent and didn't appear to care to be there. Service was poor. I haven't tipped 10% in forever, and that was probably more than deserved. I waited 25 mins for a second beer which was ordered 2 mins into my meal and delivered 10 mins after I finished. (And I'm a slow eater). Pretty sure he totally forgot it. The food, a naan chicken sandwich was pretty much flavourless and served with cold and over-salted fries. Restaurants in general have to do better. Will never return here. read more

Much, MUCH better than Taylor's Landing. Open, bright and airy (its predecessor, Casey's, was dark, dreary, out of date and sad). It's a large place and it is LOUD during the busy lunch period. Our server, Clinton, was cheerful and explained the menu with great enthusiasm. Off to a good start. My group and I spied the plates of others and I decided on the fish tacos. They did not disappoint. I especially liked the very flavourful sauce on the side. I wasn't keen on the pineapple included (and I'm a fan of the fruit) but they made it work. Service was fantastic and they got our food to us quickly. Portion sizes were fair and employees were friendly - from the manager to the front desk greeters to the servers. Kudos to them. Hope they can keep up the good work. read more

I always dread when someone asks me to meet up for food around the Scotiabank Arena. More often than not, we end up at Real Sports, screaming at each other over the loud music and non-stop flashing TV screens with sports all up in our face. But this time, we decided to take that over to Kellys Landing. We ordered a bottle of the Stoneleigh sauv. blanc ($47) to start followed by the Crown Nachos ($22) to share. Despite the busyness, our waitress delivered both in record time! The nachos unfortunately were kinda cold, like maybe they were supposed to be another table's nachos but somehow made their way over to us. We did love that they were topped with pickled onions...what a nice change from jalapenos! The portion was more than generous and we couldn't finish them. We had decent service and I could possibly return if I have to do another meet up around the Front St. area. read more

Honestly these reviews are a tad overrated. The food had no flavor, if you are going for drinks, then its fine, for its location I expected better food, for it is right in the heart of downtown. The service was not the greatest either, I had to ask multiple times for a simple glass of water, and I ended up getting it from a different waitress, not my own. The ambiance is very nice, but again I expected more from a place like this. read more

Not impressed at all. Service was terrible. People that sat down after us were served 10 minutes before us. It took almost 40 minutes to get our meals and some were screwed up.
