This is a very pretty venue, and the servers are nice and good at their job. The beef empanadas are excellent. The bottle service is okay, but they do have good food packages with the bottles. read more

The best part about this place is the views hands down. The service is meh. Took quite some time to get cocktails although the food came out quickly. The price of the food isn't worth the quality. The hostess Miriam was super friendly, helpful, and kind. Loved her! We tried the Mac and cheese, some of the sushi rolls, the shrimp, all pretty good but nothing outstanding. Come for the views and photos! read more

Lavelle - Lounges Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love to go to Lavelle in the day and night. It's a chic rooftop patio with many photo opportunities on the premises. The last time I visited Lavelle was August 2019. It wasn't a planned visit but since my hubby and I were in the area we spontaneously decided to go. At the entrance there were 2 bouncers and two girls that wanted to go in. The bouncers told the girls that they couldn't get in because their purses were big. I thought it was a strange reason and was worried that I wouldn't be let in because my purse was the same size too (Michael Kors sideways purse). One of the girls said that she lived nearby and will go back home to leave her purse and come back. The girls left and it was our turn and I expected the bouncers to say the same thing to me. However, the bouncers said nothing to me and let me in! I was confused and felt bad for the girls. Was the purse the real reason they couldn't enter? What if they return with no bag and still not be allowed to come in. I will never know, but I hope they had a chance to have a nice time at Lavelle. read more

Lavelle - Lavelle rooftop patio. - Lounges Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Beautiful place, beautiful space, decent drinks although you are paying for the view. That view however, is exquisite. The menu was disappointing so I'm dropping a star. It just wasn't very enticing. I'd definitely return for a drink. There's at least 3 bars so it makes getting a drink a bit easier than other places, 2 covered one outside in the back. It takes up the entire rooftop of the building. Definitely has an LA vibe with the open air, metallic finishes and pools. I'd definitely return. read more

Excellent decor, great vibe and atmosphere. Got the wagyu burger and it was delicious. While leaving, one of the servers dropped a soy sauce bottle, which shattered & splashed on my dress and all over my friend's shirt. The manager on duty (Zack) was the nicest and most professional, courteous man. He brought out club soda for us to help clean the soy sauce off our clothes and graciously offered to cover our meals. Despite the soy surprise, we all had a good laugh about it. 5/5 stars, would get splattered with soy sauce again. read more

This is a hidden gem. Downtown oasis. I felt like I am at Miami during lunch! We've ordered the TUNA TARTARE soy dressing, sesame cracker, daikon, pickled ginger, cilantro $24 PAPPARDELLE vanilla & saffron lobster bisque, tarragon, truffle, lobster $25 The truffle was shaved truffle. Chunks of lobster. The vanilla & saffron lobster bisque was very unique and tasty. I was very impressed by the taste and ambiance. I will definitely bring all my friends here. read more

The ambiance of this restaurant was beautiful, and totally worth the hype! We ordered the Spicy Rock Shrimp as an appetizer, and it was AMAZING!! It was so good that we ordered another plate for the table! For mains we got the Wagyu Mac Burger and the Steak & Frites. Both dishes were good; I especially liked the truffle fries. I'm giving this place 4 stars because we had to wait an extra 30 mins to get in, even though we had already made reservations. And it took a while to get the bill. Although the service was great! read more

A great party place - set off our Bachelorette party and will surely be one for the books! Thanks for your hard work - and making it look easy! read more

I don't regret going to Lavelle however I definitely won't be returning. The food was good but very average especially for the price your paying. The drinks however were very watered down and super small even though most cocktails are $18. Overall I found it to be extremely over priced and if your going out for drinks maybe choose some place else. To start off with we asked for water not sparkling or anything and our waitress brought us two Eska water bottles that ended up costing us $16. Our waitress also made my friend pay for an extra shot that never came to our table. Great elevator service though. read more

The view was amazing. That's about it. Customer service was nice. We ordered the truffle fries , burger slider , Brussels sprout , short rib taco, salmon tataki and pitcher of sangria. Food wasn't impressive (price reflect it. They price pretty fair) and sangria was pretty disappointed. Didn't taste any alcohol and it was $56 pitcher. We brought a birthday cake for a friend and the cake cutting fees was $35!!!!!! That was a steep charge so we ended up not having the cake at the restaurant. Their washroom was NOTTYY CLEAN. SMELL AND NOT SANITIZED AT ALL especially during pandemic. Also, zero covid control on letting people into the elevator. There were 8 ppl inside the elevator and i literally had to hold my breath. Our bill total was about $200 after tips. Overall I would not recommend this place as dining and probably will not come again... read more

Came here for a work event on a Thursday night over the summer and sat on the rooftop in a cabana. We did bottle service and a bunch of apps (sushi boat, sliders, fries, karaage, rock shrimp, etc). Service was pretty good as it was surprisingly slow that evening. We had ~20 people and the food + drinks kept coming, so all went pretty smoothly. Servers kept coming to check on us and see how far we were with the food/drinks. The drinks/mixers were normal but the apps were great. The sushi, karaage, and rock shrimp were fantastic and disappeared almost instantly from the table. Super fresh, piping hot, and the sauces that came with the karaage & rock shrimp were divine. I would honestly go back just for those dishes. The only disappointing thing I ate were the truffle fries, which just tasted like plain fries in a plastic bucket. The music was mediocre, a bit boring for a venue with such a gorgeous view. The venue itself though, while nice, was a bit shabby for what it charges and the level of fancy it is. The cabana I sat in suffered some wear and tear and could have been a bit cleaner, but maybe that's just me. I did appreciate how many patio heaters they had as the night got chilly really fast. All in all, a solid experience, great apps, but definitely pricey for what it is. I prob won't be back unless it's for work. read more

The best place to go when you wanna have fun. Shoutout to the whole security team and the cooks. Hands down some baller people.

Just for dine in: Incredible food options and the pork belly skewers were life changing. Celebrated a friend's birthday so got the fried banana dessert, our favourite of the night. The drinks were also super fun and cute, tastes like it says on the menu Service is a bit slow but because it's always quite busy Our waitress was so nice and helped take pictures and recommend food items! read more

This restaurant has a beautiful setup and the great view, being inside makes you feel very classy. It is a lounge and hanging around the bar area would be a better idea. We had dinner and were seated by the window with the view of CN tower which was nice. I was expecting the food to be good as well, but no it was not good at all in my humble opinion. I had tempura shrimp as an appetizer and burger for the main. The shrimps dish was ok but the burger was not good at all, even the fries were hmm how to say it better crap. My party had flat bread with arugula and mushrooms with truffle oil, it tasted pretty good but was almost the most expensive appetizer on the menu and she had udon noodles which were nothing much. I think when we're paying for dishes over 20 bucks they should be better than fast food, but not here. So as for me I would never want to be back. Even the coffee machine didn't work when I wanted to try the coffee. Maybe being around the bar and just having drinks would be a nice idea but if you want to eat, go somewhere else. Again I'm talking only about the dishes I tried, maybe other dishes would be better. The service was good. read more

Folks this place is what it is. Throw in a amazing view in the coveted entertainment district,add shallow pools to the ambiance and then you can charge markups that justify whatever one has to put up with here. I had this place bookmarked for a while but after the middling reviews was contemplating removing it. I am glad I visited this spot when friends who are regular here decided to visit on a balmy Saturday. We were a bit early so the lineup wasn't bad, as expected priority was given to the VIP list (read bottle service). Once we got up the place was packed even this early. The view is mesmerizing to say the least and I am not just referring to the TO skyline :) Now for the bad part the service is poor with a single bartender managing the bar in the open area when we went (a second one joined in later). There was a long wait to get any drinks. They do charge a service fee if you order 5+ drinks (because they can!). However the plastic glasses made me gasp as I understand its a safety issue but no matter what you do they won't look clean (people with OCD take note). Our party did order some snacks though I didn't partake. It did start to pour unfortunately and we all had to huddle in the covered area. My 2 cents if you are a larger group just order the bottle service as you will get a prime seating space and service won't be an issue from what I could tell. If this doesn't sound desirable folks I suggest you take your party to a friend's house nearby as some condos nearby offer the same views sans whatever they offer here. read more

Come for the view and atmosphere, not for the food. You enter into a GORGEOUS, very modern and sleek restaurant. There is a pool as the center piece and pool chairs along the side. It's nice. But Yelp is about the food so i'm going to talk about that. I came for a lunch and we ordered an extensive amount of food from the menu. Hopefully this can help you make decisions on what you want to try here (bring a BIG wallet or when your paycheck comes out and go for a swim to make up for the $$$ experience). Seafood platter - $95. This was really very fresh but for the price, probably wouldn't order it again. Score: 3.5/5 (if it was more affordable, could've been a 4/5) TRUFFLE MUSHROOM FLATBREAD - $19. This is in Caps because it's the only thing I would come back for. INCREDIBLY TASTY BUT ALSO OVERPRICED. But it's so good that I'd do it again. Score: 4.25/5 (can't be more than this score because it's too expensive for an appetizer) Inaniwa Udon- $22. Not worth your money. Probably one of the cheaper things on the menu but a waste of $22. Might as well pay a bit more for something better. Udon was soft, flavor was overly soya sauce. I question what I ate. Score: 2.5/5 Striploin - $42. Delicious but very expensive. This was definitely a good portion but again, you could get something of the same quality but cheaper at another restaurant (if you're coming more for the food and not the atmosphere). Score: 3.5/5 (but 4/5 if more affordable) Sous Vide Chicken- $29. Very average chicken. Nothing much to say. Score: 3/5. read more

DISAPPOINTED Honestly, at first when I heard about this place, I was excited because the view looked amazing from pictures. I thought everything was going to be great and that I would enjoy myself. After going, I can genuinely say that I was more than disappointed AND I RARELY GET DISAPPOINTED. First of all, the service was terrible. Me and my friend sat there for a long time before anyone bothered coming to us. We literally sat there doing nothing WITHOUT water or anything. When we finally actually got a server, she was rude too which was a bit annoying considering no one bothered helping us in the first place. Second, I don't know if they were having a bad day but the FOOD was a disappointment too. It was so salty that I literally had to keep drinking water. The food was definitely not worth the price. This one star is literally for the view because if there was a zero star option, I would give that. read more

I went to Lavelle for a drink on a weekday night, and it was quiet and nice! We were able to grab some nice seats and enjoy the beautiful view. There's the pool as the center piece, and you can enjoy the view of CN tower and Toronto skyscrapers from the comfortable lounge seats scattered around the rooftop. They have a pretty expansive drinks menu with some delicious cocktail offerings. Definitely a place to check out in downtown! read more

Of all the amazing places in this city, how did I end up here??? Wait, I know why...I was seduced by the prospect of rooftop views at sunset. Hubby and I made an evening reservation on the patio for what we hoped would be nice sunset views, nice drinks, nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, we received anything but. Firstly, we had to pay a $10 cover charge per person just to get inside (a "Covid" fee for keeping the place extra clean, they explained.) We were then assigned a table way in the corner near the staff area, and we were given a map to get there (standard practice). The table only had one chair, which had been pilfered by another table. I gotta give credit to the hostess...she came right over and offered us a more central spot. But what she offered was basically two Muskoka chairs with a little side table by the pool...would have been awkward had we decided to order food. Also, at our new table, the previous diners had spilled their drink all over the floor. My shoes got sticky as we waited for staff to clean it. Took a long while for our drink order to be taken and then for the drinks to arrive. No water was offered in the meantime (hot summer night). I ordered a cocktail recommended by the waitress and it was God awful. It was cloyingly sweet and made with seemingly zero finesse...just a plastic wine glass with ice and sugary juice. The city views (from our vantage) were mostly obstructed by the structures surrounding the patio...far from awe inspiring. Their music selection didn't add anything to the vibe at all. Overall, highly skippable for evening cocktails. Perhaps it's better for pool hangs in the daytime. read more

My friends and I were super excited to visit lavelle after the stage three openings in Toronto. We'd always see people's Instagram pictures and Lavelle looked like a great place to visit. Due to high demand and Covid-19 restrictions you are given a 2 hour limit. Outside we were met with a lovely hostess who did our covid screening and the was great at conversing. Similarly the hostess in the elevator was also wonderful. The patio itself is beautiful, with a pool deck and great views of the city. Once we were seated at our table our waiter came around and asked if we wanted to start with drinks. Soon after him two more waiters came around asking the same question making the management seem unorganized. The drinks were good although a bit on the pricey side. When we visited the bathroom it was flooded with water on the floor probably from the man using it previous fo us which wasn't the most enjoyable experience. When it came to ordering our food, it was almost as if our three waiters from before forgot about us. It was impossible to get a hold of someone fo take our order or one of our previous waiters. When we finally had our orders taken and we waited for the food to come out, they brought out one of my friend's plate long before anyone else's food. So she had to wait for us with her cold food. We also overhead the individuals at the table next to us yelling at the management for unprofessional customer service as they were paying for bottle service and still didn't get any better customer service. There was also no lighting over any of the tables which made it difficult to pass food and drinks around it. Our night was enjoyable and we probably went in with expectations too high. The food and drinks were good but you are mostly paying for the atmosphere (rooftop city views, live DJ, pool deck etc.) For food we got the spicy salmon roll, poke Naruto roll, panko Mac n' cheese (vegan) and the shiitake truffle Alfredo, the drinks we got were the Lavelle Strawberry rosé and ciroc coconut cookie espresso martini. All the foods and drink were wonderful. The espresso martini is definitely worth trying. read more

TLDR; AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS Last night was my first time here. It was also my last time here. I know it LOOKS like a nice upscale lounge, but their service is guaranteed to ruin your night. You do NOT want to celebrate any special events here. The "manager" who I was dealing with, Farhan, was a complete clown. Ive never seen someone do such a shit job and be so pleased with themselves. When we showed up with a confirmed table reservation by the pool, Farhan tried to coerce us into spending literally ten times the amount communicated when booking. After we rejected such a ridiculous and deceptive offer, he made us wait 30 minutes before forcing us into some back corner table shared with a group of teenyboppers. I cancelled the table shortly after. I cant remember a time where I was treated in such a condescending and disrespectful manner when trying to pay for a table. This level of scumminess is rare. Trying to salvage the night, we take our coats from our booth to put into coatcheck only to find that coatcheck was full You have to literally stand there and hope for someone to come by and check out their coat so that you can check yours in. Wtf is that? At this point I'm not surprised given what a shitshow this place is. Later in the night, we tried to order food at the bar. After spending 15 minutes getting the server to acknowledge us, she says she'll take our order in a second. Comes back another 20 minutes later to tell us the food service closed 15 minutes ago ‍ I don't expect this place to stay in business very long given how poorly its managed. Long story short: if you are looking for a place to drop money, go somewhere else. read more

Have attended here twice and that is all for me. The only thing this place has going for it, is a nice view to the city. Other than that, food/drinks are outrageously priced and very small portions. Service is very slow. Even getting to your a table (having reservations) is slow. Overall, the hype is not worth it. If you are wishing to catch an "L" then this is the spot for you. See the below pictures. My small wallet is bigger than the cup they gave me for my drink which costs $15+, the picture actually makes it look bigger than it was. My teacup was bigger than the 3 tacos they gave me. I also ordered the salmon plate which costs around $30 and the portion was tiny, the biggest thing on the plate was the seasoned lemon..no thats not a potatoe. read more

Come for the vibe... leave from the food. Don't get me wrong Lavelles outdoor roof top patio is GORGEOUS and the DJ on a Sunday morning was bumpin'. But the food is lack lustre to say the least. Both my friend and I got the short rib Benny and it was child sized. It was a 2 bite Benny with over fried home fries, an ill proportionate and dry breaded base for the short rib... which wasn't all that flavourful as advertised. Did I mention that everything came out cold and the servers had NO clue who ordered what. Also, they refused to split the bill amongst the group of 16... this is the 21 century, how is bill splitting not a mandatory thing? Again, come for an over priced drink and chill by the pool... it is a must see for locals and foreigners alike but don't waste your time with the food. The consensus I got from my party of 16 was that we could have all forgone brunch here. read more

This place was recommended to us by a local and to me, it didn't disappoint. While my friends were looking for something a little more lovely, this lounge vibe was perfect for me. Beautiful rooftop views. Two pools, one indoor and the other outdoor. Variety of seating types. The music was pretty chill as well. We left after one drink. Oh yes, drinks are super pricey. The Long Island was $25.00, but they're also using top shelf liquor and giving you more according to the bartender. My friends returned later in the night and they said that the vibe was completely different. More people. Better music. Overall livelier. read more

Got a table here for a bachlorette party! If the weather was better we would have had an outside patio cabana, but in October it's cold! However it was raining so we moved in doors. The view of the CN tower at night is super clutch though and made for a great picture opportunity! However, we did get a small corner of the bar. The food was pretty good since we ordered some finger foods but its super expensive! Just come here for the view! read more

FOOD: The majority of my party ordered the Wagyu burger with fries. The portions were plentiful but the food was below average and SUPER SALTY. I couldn't finish mine and didn't even bother bagging it because I didn't want to eat it ever again. DRINKS: Overpriced and very average. BATHROOMS: They have unisex individual washrooms. All gross, cramped, and lit like a horror movie set. Completely disgusting compared to the rest of the restaurant. SERVICE: The waiters were nice and really attentive, but there was this creepy guy lurking around us that wouldn't stop INTERRUPTING our conversations to ask how we were. I know it's his job, but I didn't come to the restaurant to chat with him. Get out of my face and read the room. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is beautiful and Instagram-worthy. Seriously, the only reason anyone comes here. We also had a bit of a surprise when the bill came. We ordered some Gyoza from their $8 bites menu, but we were charged $16. When I asked the waitress she said the $8 bites deal had been discontinued. I'm confused as to how that's MY problem? An upscale restaurant like Lavelle can't REPRINT their incorrect menus? I just paid the surprise charge so I could get out of there. Overall, I was disappointed. Beautiful decor and hype isn't an excuse to have below average food when your primary function is a RESTAURANT. I could excuse the bad food if it was a cheap or lowscale place, but this is supposed to be one of the best restaurants in the city. This isn't even a good restaurant, it's a place for Instagram photoshoots. If you want stylish pics to show off to your friends, come here. If you want good food, look elsewhere. read more

Beautiful view, great service, delicious food.. what more can one ask for? I came here on Canada day weekend with a friend for brunch. She had made reservations but the outdoor patio was not too packed when we got there (about 12). It did start to fill up later so i am glad we had a reservation. Food was delicious and the service was efficient the entire time we were there. I had the french toast and my friend got the benedict and i would recommend both.

Lavelle is a fun place for a night out, with good service and good food. It has amazing views as well for taking pictures!

The view is gorgeous! Perfect for a summer day! Went around 4pm with reservations for lunch on a weekday. Nor busy at all. Mostly empty. Service is... slow... they don't check up on you for hours and sort of leave you hanging/waiting on your server. Views = amazing for snacks and drinks. People swim during the day and you can sit by the pool or half inside and half outside since it's all outdoors with open windows Food = decent. Presentation was lovely, but quality is 2/5 or 3/5 at best. $$$ price for low quality food, but we both enjoyed the food we had. Drinks are crazy expensive, upwards of $20+. It would be gorgeous to come dressed up and have drinks, either daytime or night. Only 2 desserts and they weren't worth it. A++ for the waitress who took all of our "couple" photos and she let us know where to stand and which had the best spots!!! So sweet and we got amazing shots to remember. Wish we could have tipped her! She wasn't our server though but she was amazing. Not sure if I'll return. I would for the views and to dress up/be in a fancy place, maybe for a drink or 2. Would not return for the food. read more

Hate to say this but this is the one place that my friends and I visited this past weekend for my bachelorette where we did not have a positive experience. My friends and I came here on Saturday at 11:30 AM for brunch. It was pretty empty at that time and we were only the 3rd party seated in the dining area. Our waiter was Brandon and he initially greeted us warmly and even stated that he is here to provide great service (that was a fail). We started our order with a round of drinks (4 total), two bottles of sparkling water, and coffees. It took about 20 minutes for us to get the sparkling water we ordered, after asking about it at least 3 times. Once we got the water, our drinks followed shortly after. We did not get the coffee until a few minutes after we received our entrees. For entrees we ordered 3 Wagyu Burgers and 1 Katsu Sando (pork belly sandwich). The food was good and the drinks were light and refreshing, but definitely not strong in alcohol. At one point our waiter apologized for the long wait for the drinks. We all came in matching shirts and I wore a veil so he also acknowledged that we were here celebrating my bachelorette. When we had asked for the check he told us he has a surprise coming out for us. He then brought out a green tea matcha crepe cake with a side of sorbet and a "Congratulations" message written on the plate in chocolate. We thought this to be a sweet gesture and assumed this was to comp us for the slow service at the beginning of our meal. However, we were SHOCKED to see that we were charged $12 for this dessert, which we never even ordered ourselves. Never have I experienced a restaurant treating you to something and then charging you for it. At this point we just wanted to get out and enjoy the rest of our day so we just paid the bill without even commenting on the extra charge for something we didn't even order ourselves. Also, I had initially planned to spend a day here at a day bed and am SO glad that I had canceled my reservation. We had a much better experience at the rooftop of our hotel which was just across the street from Lavelle, with MUCH better drinks and service, for a MUCH lower price (no minimum amount to be spent). read more

This is my second time here and it was way better than the first. Service was much better and the waiters were much more attentive. To start, I had the prosecco which was excellent. For the main meal, I ordered the steak frites which was really good and flavourful. In terms of the price, it was on the expensive side but definitely worth it for the food quality and the view. Also, it was completely empty when I went around 1:30 on a Friday afternoon. Loved it and will most likely be back soon! read more

Lavelle is a beautiful spot on King West! The roof-top restaurant and bar is a great place to hang out with friends during the day and at night. I was very excited to experience the brunch here, but it didn't go as planned. They didn't have enough waiters/waitresses so it took forever to flag down someone to get our attention. When we ordered teas and lattes they arrived 30 minutes later cold, because they were cleaning the machines. The food followed shortly after and I have to admit it's mediocre at best. I had the smoked salmon benny with a side of spring salad which didn't complement each other. Even though the food was underwhelming, the venue is stunning! I would come back for a fun night out dancing at the rooftop pool/bar. There's also so many great spots to do some photo ops, ladies! read more

I went to Lavelle with 2 other girlfriends on July 4th and we were all so excited since it was our first time there. However, the whole experience was so lacklustre from the start. We ordered our drinks and entree by 6:45 pm, however, we weren't served till 8:15 pm. Supposedly, the kitchen had a mix up with orders and that they had to redo everyone's order. The situation handled by our server was disappointing, she never informed us until we asked "when would our food be ready since its been over an hour wait". This is when she confessed and told us about the kitchen mix up situation. She then proceeds to tell us to order appetizers in the meantime as it may come out faster than our entree. She brought to our attention that this will be additional charges to our bill and its up to us if we would like to spend more money on our orders. After 1.5 hours of waiting we finally got our food, which is when things continued to go downhill. I ordered a medium steak and it was so overcooked that it was basically well-done. My friend who ordered a steak also had an issue with her steak being overcooked. Both steaks were so dry and tasteless. The service was so underwhelming from start to finish and noticed that they treated their guests unfairly, while we received no sincere apology from our waitress, the table next to us, who were also affected in the kitchen mix up, were compensated on their final bill as apology for the wait. When we received our bill, it was full price. We didn't bother commenting on it and end up paying the bill as is since we just wanted to get out and try to enjoy the rest of our evening. We will not be recommending Lavelle to anyone - the food, drinks and service needs to be improved. read more
