    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    Great vibes, such a fun Friday night! One of my favourite date places in the city. The happy hour is always really good here. Would come back

    everything was really good. I got I know mini chicken sandwiches with an order of truffle fries. My bf got the chicken dish with crispy potatoes instead of mash. it's hard to mess up a margarita but this was probably one of the best lime margaritas I've had. decent happy hour. Our server was really nice. I think this is a safe American food friendly restaurant to visit connect with me on IG: @tableforjsmn

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.

    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.
