12oz striploin
Chris C.

Consistent restaurant with consistent service and food quality. I'd consider the food slightly above average and more of a spot to take groups for a casual outing. Good beer selection. Tuna poke bowl isn't bad but get a double portion. Servers are friendly and the menu has a good variety.

I'm not a basic bar guy and this one is very much that, BUT we booked a last minute table for 11 people to watch the Final Three World Cup match and had a great experience! On the second floor, the team is excellent. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and efficient despite waiting on many tables of groups. Their drink and food menus are large and have tasty options. If you love sweet and refreshing, get the white sangria.

Vodka pie

King taps is not my usual happy hour choice but we wanted a change of pace and the leafs game was on. They always put the leafs game on when they're playing which is Mae's them a reliable game spot. Over the past couple of years I felt their food quality has slowly declined but today was different. Way exceeded my expectations. We started with a corona zero and ranch water (passion fruit flavour) we were both really happy with it. The didn't skimp on the tequila. We started with the Brussels sprouts which is always a great choice from here. Crispy on the outside and not an overwhelming Brussels sprout taste. This is likely because there is a generous sprinkling of grated parm and a great amount of dip. We tried the crispy tuna sushi. The tuna was beautifully marinated, so flavourful. And the sushi was nice and crispy. The vodka pie was a seasonal item and when we saw it listed, we knew we needed to try it. The sauce- amazing, the press was nice and flaky and light and really tasty. And the soccer Sada added nice saltines and flavour without being too overwhelming. For happy hour, the apps and pizzas were $5 off, and the ranch water was $5. I'd come back for the pizza alone! Jeans was our waitress and she was great!

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING
Jamie G.

King Taps is a gem! We are visiting from the states and we're looking for a place to watch the Argentina futbol game. Found that KT takes reservations so we booked a table for dinner and the game. We were seated right on time and Abbey, our amazing waitress, greeted us straight away. We ordered drinks while we looked at starters. Ultimately we decided on the burrata and prosciutto and it was excellent. Schmeared fresh burrata on toast points and added prosciutto...divine! Eventually we added a margarita pizza which we also loved. They are Neapolitan style so crazy thin, light sauce and fresh mozzarella. The crust has a lovey chew to it. Just a great pie! Later on we added the sticky toffee pudding. It's spectacular! A lovely cake with a caramel tuille on top and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with a lovely caramel sauce surrounding it. It's a terrific desert (my second this week)! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at KT and will definitely come back on my next trip to Toronto.! A special thanks to Abbey who was an amazing host. She is so nice and accommodating. Thank you so much for making our evening out so amazing. KT is lucky to have you.

If you're looking for a quiet date night, this most definitely is not the place for you. King Taps is the type of place you want to go out with a group of friends for a drink after work. This place is loud and crowded always. I find it always hard to track down your server because of how dark and crowded this place is. In terms of food, they have some good bar food options including Mini Macks and Truffle Fries. For mains I would suggest getting the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni. 6/10 recommend!

Our server was so friendly and on top of things. The vibes are nice and quiet for brunch, which my mom loves when she visits. We got the healthy breakfast bowl and the standard breakfast. Perfect healthy/naughty mix to share with someone. I really like their coffee too! It's great for if you need food before the symphony or a play because it's so close by.

Summerlicious 2025 Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts
Jennifer G.

Came here for summerlicious. We had the baby gem Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts to start. Both were very tasty with lots of parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs on top, but were small "side" servings instead of appetizer size servings. For our mains we had the salmon fresca and the $16 upgrade to the 12oz rib eye steak (base is 8oz sirloin). It's a bit odd. Everything tasted good, but the salmon, steak, and even broccolini were very tough and hard to chew. I even had to use a knife on the salmon. The steak was requested a medium rare, and was more so between a medium and medium well. Desserts were the pretzel brownie and the caramel duo. Caramel duo was extremely sweet, brownie was warm and delicious. It was $45 per person, plus the one $16 upgrade. Interior inside is lively, casual bar environment, with pretty loud music playing. Kind of reminds me of the Warehouse, or Jack Astor's. There is outdoor seating as well. Service was very slow. We ordered as soon as we were seated and had our mains 50 minutes after we ordered. Our desserts were also delayed, and we were there for 1h45mins in total. They also gave us the wrong menu, then didn't give utensils. They looked fairly understaffed, as I saw the same 2 waitresses running around. The other tables nearby were also waiting for their mains. The table next to us had the main redone as the chicken was left out the first time. The summerlicious items are the same as the regular menu, with the apps smaller serving sizes so it's a good way to try lots of items. If you're looking for a lively place to catch up with friends this may be a good spot as some items were good. For us, the long wait times and tough/overcooked steak and salmon means we will be opting for the many other options nearby instead. For over $100 before tax and tip, I was expecting a bit better.

Craig H.

Service was hard to get and mostly indifferent. We went for lunch and it appeared they were heavily understaffed, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Food was fine, but getting simple things after it was delivered (a fork, salt & pepper) was a real challenge. I can't imagine this place busy because it was HUGE.

Chicken wings
Raya S.

The energy and vibe during sports events is unmatched! Especially when the Jays were playing. Their happy hour has changed significantly which is a downer for the regulars.

SIERRA SALAD (V) $18.75 Avocado, pickled red onions & beets, citrus slices, white cheddar, seeds, apple cider vinaigrette.
Dhara J.

Ii went there after work on a chilly evening. It was quite busy but what stood out to me was their patio was full too. I was wondering why and then i choose to take a seat at patio and no wonder why it was popular even on a chilly evening. They have heaters outside and not only that, generally you will find people going there directly after office and women dressed up in skirt or dresses, i am not sure whether this is every season but they have blanket/ cover ups at each chair. I first noticed that what is this blue color thing and why everyone is having it, bt later i realised why. That is really thoughtful and cozy and I recommend going there and sitting in patio for this feeling. I orders below item and i provided a detailed description for it. Food was good too!

Eylur N.

I never actually tried the food here but every time I go in for happy hour it's great value. The music is definitely too loud and you can't have a normal conversation over it. Service also could be better but I guess that's what you get when you go downtown.

Ranch water
Tiff E.

Great ambience, and good drinks, our serve was attentive as well, decent dishes, it could get very packed after work though.

Frozen blood orange margarita, beer, mojito
Jacqueline M.

Went for happy hour at King taps after a Jays game to grab a bite and we were able to get seated fairly quickly! The frozen blood orange margaritas are so refreshing and yummy. The stinging bee pizza was good! Crust was crispy, with the honey perfectly balancing off the saltiness of the pepperoni on the pizza. Their happy hour includes 10$ cocktails and 5$ off pizzas and share plates.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who later seated us at the bar. The atmosphere and overall ambiance of the restaurant were 1000% worth the trip!

For food, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Tuna Temaki, and Prawn Crunch, and everything was just as satisfying.

We were told we would have to wait 5-10 minutes for the window seat we requested. After well over 20 minutes I went to get an update on the table, she ended up saying it was ready only to not get seated at a window table that we specifically asked and were willing to wait the 5-10 extra minutes for. So we waited that extra time just to not get the table we wanted. Not to mention the washroom was disgusting with diarrhea and vomit in the only open stall as the other one was out of service. The restaurant also doesn't really feel family-friendly. It's clearly geared toward couples and young adults, with more of a date night or night out atmosphere than a place you'd want to bring the family. Just something to keep in mind if you are wanting to bring your family.

Either the menu is a mediocre version of the actual menu, and/or the service is dismissive once they learn you're there for the 'licious set. Black + Blue had a $65 dinner menu which is pretty good for the options available. The portions were generous but the service was where things really stood out. We were treated so incredibly well by all the staff. Dawn was our server and she was so lovely! We really felt taken care of. I've never had a restaurant server look at the type of pant I was wearing and change my table napkin to a black one to match my dark pants. Nor do I remember a restaurant heating up the mug a cappuccino comes in to ensure it stays nice and warm. As for food, we were allowed to have some partake in Summerlicious and some not. I had the Summerlicious menu and picked the Wagyu Tartare, Surf and Turf, and Buttercake. Great portions, delicious food. My favourite was the Buttercake. We also had happy hour drinks, oysters, a prime rib, and caesar salad. If I were to recommend something, get the $78 prime rib which is 14 oz, perfectly seasoned, and comes with glazed carrots and the most amazing mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!

Wagyu beef burger cooked perfectly, it's a large portion for a petite girl like me, 9oz, fries is on salty side. Both desserts are good, not too sweet or filling. It's definitely on the pricy end for a lunch, good to come here for celebrations, not an everyday thing.
