Great view of Toronto!!! The vibe is killer. I came for cocktails hour and tried their brownie dessert. It was delicious! You know a place is fancy when the food is ant sized. Quality over quantity though! Great dessert and cocktails with a great view of the CN tower. I had a layover on my way to Spain but I would come back here next time I'm in town! It's hard to find this place. Walking down king street it might look like an apartment building. Just enter and go up the elevator. There's no sign but you can't go anywhere else but the elevators read more

If you don't eat red meat and still wants to enjoy fine cuisine, Lavelle is a good choice! I enjoyed a nice birthday dinner with my close friends here a few years ago, feasting on healthy options & wine of course. They also have a beautiful dining area & a nice view of the stars & CN tower at night. read more

I got to Lavelle and the doorman was so uninterested in the fact people had arrived. He was too busy munching on a cookie. Only to get upstairs and the restaurant was not even open for lunch yet. The hostess then told us they would be opening in 5 mins and that we should got back outside and walk around for a bit and come back. After stating that we will find somewhere else to eat, she decided to get us a table. I'm giving them a 3 star because even though the food was mediocre the waitress was lovely. The atmosphere was cheap and overrated and It's more the type of environment for people who need to feel important rather than actually are important. read more

I was visiting a friend and she suggested going to this place for brunch. We went on a Wednesday morning around 11am so it definitely was not too busy. The food was not bad, we ended up ordering fancy avocado toast with fries. I wish there were more food options though. Only a small hiccup when I was paying for our food, our server gave us the wrong bill so I was overcharged (my bad for not thoroughly looking it over). It was quickly resolved though. It's definitely a cool place to go to hangout (indoors or outdoors), and I love their view of the Toronto skyline. Will definitely come back if I visit Toronto again! read more

Came here once patio re-opened and it was great. You're definitely coming here for the atmosphere rather than the food. The food is overpriced for what it is but the city views are lovely. Service was slower than usual but they just re-opened so that's perfectly understandable. Our server was full of energy and awesome. 2 hour seating limit. They do ask for credit card info in order to make reservations. So review the cancellation policy before you book! read more

We chose Lavelle due to its beautiful setting, but sadly, for us, that's where the positives stopped. We had the Asian Pear Bellini as a drink - notice it says "pear puree" and "candied pear slice" in the description. Both were absent (it was just prosecco). A fan of pork belly, we also ordered Japanese All Day Breakfast. The panko pork belly sandwich in this meal was LITERALLY toast with pork belly. Nothing else in this sandwich. And the pork belly was slimy inside. I could not finish it. There was also soggy scrambled eggs in a bowl included with this meal. The other two things we ordered were the burger and the peach slurpee, both of which were ok. We did grab some pictures with the view - but I would not want to experience the bad food and drinks here again just for the sake of the pictures. read more

This is a review for Lavelle as a nightclub: For a boujee club, everything from the start to end was so disorganized. We had a booth for a friends birthday that supposedly came with 30 comps. Last minute they switched it to 10 comps and over half the guests had to pay cover. In addition to this, they also upped our minimum spend requirements while we were there. The service was incredibly slow - the bottles and even the mixers took forever. The bar was understaffed as well. They played good music, however, there isn't really a dance floor and since the venue is so big, it's difficult to hear the music. The washroom line ups are also sooo long because it is a unisex washroom. Shouldn't have been surprised as you're basically paying $$$ for the view. Have been consistently disappointed with all of these high end rooftop clubs in Toronto so far. read more

I took my wife without reservation . I was lucky to get seated seemed busy on Saturday night. We got seated my pool we didn't really like that spot,so we asked host to be seated near the window ,she made it happen. Got steak very small plate however it was cooked to perfection,sushi was reasonably priced . Garlic fries topped of the plate filling me up . Great food great service . Worth going read more

Not really impressed by this place. We came here on a Wednesday night at around 8:30pm and were seated in a little corner with low to no light. The chairs were heavy, barely movable, not exactly comfortable and turned at a weird angle facing the pool. It was difficult to talk when u cant face each other. The fries were good and had the truffle taste but the wagyu burgers were nothing special. Drinks were just ok. read more

I came here to grab couple of drink for nice high class style. The place is definitely high class style. They have a pool in the middle for nice view and you can see the CN tower from the top patio. The view was amazing which what makes it great the seats and the design is great. However it's over priced like 12 buck a drink and takes long time to get one the bar attended seemed busy the hole time they need more I guess. Also the elevator to get to the top takes a while there was a waiting light to get to the top and waiting like to go down. Because of the more pricer style it is occupied by older people crowd mostly 40 and up I will say. Loved the view mainly will come to see the amazing view definitely not good to get drunk and should pre drink somewhere else. read more

Lavelle is the place to be seen, especially in the summer when the outdoor pool area is open. We came here with some hesitation, given some extremely negative reviews on here and on various other sites, on allegations of discrimination. I am pleased to say I did not get that impression from my visit - I believe the wait staff here are pretty representative of the Toronto population and diverse. Patrons here are pretty dressy and I was very casually dressed, and the staff here did not make me feel uncomfortable. We ordered the pork belly benedict, and the classic breakfast. Both were quite tasty, and I especially liked the relish that was underneath the pork belly, which give it a surprising taste as I had not expected it. My companion enjoyed the sausage that was in his classic breakfast. Prices here are a few dollars more than your standard brunch place, but keep in mind you are dining at the very top floor of a nice residential building, and for the very nice swanky modern décor. We did not feel the pricing was unjustified. I look forward to having dinner here at some point. read more

I have yet to try the food at Lavelle, but I recently hit up the bar for a few cocktails with visiting pals. They were looking for Toronto views, #viewsfromthe6ix if you will, and this is where they ended up. Club-like places are not my jam, but I still had a nice afternoon. The people watching is ridiculous, too. Like, riiiidiculous. read more

Honestly, the only thing that this place has going for them is the gorgeous rooftop view and their fancy pool that nobody goes into. I came here for a work function around 6PM and the place was not packed so we were able to get a table. A quick look at the menu, you'll see that Lavelle caters to those who are willing to spend big bucks. I was starving, so I ordered the Yucca Fries ($8) and my jaws dropped when I saw that it was literally only EIGHT pieces of fries with a tiny tin for the dipping sauce. For drinks, I had Freak-a-holics which was a delicious watermelon drink that came in a martini glass for $17. After 9:30PM, the place becomes crowded and our server came by to tell us that if we wanted to continue sitting at our table, we need to get bottle service with a minimum of 2 bottles. So with that, we decided to leave the premises. After each round of drinks ordered, the server will come by with the credit card machine for us to pay the bill each time we order something. That was extremely annoying that we couldn't just pay all at once - So after the first two times, we stopped tipping after realizing we had been tipping this whole time on every single bill. Service was spotty as well. Our server disappeared for a long time each time we ask her for something. The bouncers were also very unfriendly towards everyone and the lineup to get out of the place was ridiculous since they just have two elevators. So... you guessed it! I won't be back (the pool is really pretty though). read more

Let me start my saying I've been to Lavelle for dinner prior to this and did not have this experience at all. I don't know who manages the club potion of the business but you guys need to get it together. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had at any establishment in Toronto or internationally. I booked a booth through a promoter for my friends birthday. We waited in line while the girl managing the door was openly cursing about how much she hates her job. I told them the name the booth was booked under and with the nastiness attitude she said there's nothing under that name and told us to leave. I got in contact with the promoter who told us to come back to the front. The same girl then made us pay cover even though we weren't supposed to. We went upstairs to find the booth already had people in it. There was no one at the elevator to manage the crowd, no one at the rooftop entrance to direct you anywhere. Security was no where to be found because they were lugging 10 pound bags of ice bags through the crowded club and ended up hitting some girl in the face with it. Come to find out they overbooked the booths as it was raining and they couldn't use the patio. Instead of trying to figure out an alternative they decided to ram everyone inside instead. We decided to leave and asked the same girl at the door for the money back as the promoted told us there's no reason we should have paid. She continued to have a nasty attitude and when my friend said something to her she called us "bum bitches". The whole situation was a mess but we should have known not to bother once we saw who was hired to be the first face to face contact for the club. Do better Lavelle. read more

This place is pretty nice and definitely for the hip and trendy but also serves a pretty good brunch! Came here for brunch and it was surprisingly good! I ordered the avocado toast like a typical millenial and it was delicious! It was served on a nice crispy piece of toast with a good spreading of avocado mixed with cilantro and topped with 2 poached eggs and sprouts. Served with a side of fries. $17 Overall, it was surprisingly good and you've got the gorgeous view to boot of Toronto! There were a few downsides. dinks were priceyyy. A 12oz goose island beer cost around $10. Not quite a full pint... Which I found ok since it was 11:30am..I guess you pay for the view. The other downside was that the outdoor patio had only table seats for tables of 2. So larger parties of 3 or more people had to sit in the dining room for a meal. Not a big deal since the whole place opened up, but something to consider. Overall it was a cool dining experience that's worth trying at least once. read more

Lavelle - Avocado toast is the reason millenials can't afford to buy a house ;) - Lounges Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I wish I could give this place a zero star. Horrible service, waited for 30 minutes and no one came to serve us. I had to ask someone to bring us a waiter. The waiter was rude and basically did not know what she was doing. The food was absolutely disgusting and over salty, I felt like my sodium level went from 0-100. I wish this place closes down or the management can contact me directly cause I really want to know what made them think this is acceptable. I am sure McDonald's has better service than this zero star trash. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO VISIT TO PLACE. I honestly would rather give a homeless person $70 than paying for food there. If anyone tells you this place has good food they are lying or they work there. Smh, horrible, disgusting. read more

Hip and chic locale with great views of they city! Lavelle is a great place to kick back with a drink and take in the views of the city and people. The entrance is a bit odd as you have to go downstairs to take the elevators up to the roof top patio. After you emerge from the elevator, you are treated to a very chic and modern atmosphere complete with a small pool, cabanas and open air dining area. We took advantage of the nice weather to have a Sunday brunch - it is definitely THE spot to visit on a sunny day. We arrived on Sunday around 11 - it is quite empty at this time - not a bad thing as we got a pick of the place to sit and relax. After 12, people started to trickle to the bar and dining room. Service is great and the servers are quite attentive to your drink/food orders. Some of the appetizers came out a bit slow but we weren't in a big rush. All of us ordered a bunch of the mains - I chose the avocado toast. It came out a plank of wood with an order of fries. So just a piece of advice - the portions are not huge but a tad on the small side. My toast was quite tasty - great flavour on the avocado, feta and crunch of the apple on a chewy multigrain bread. I think if you paired this with another side like ham or sticky bun - that would probably a good combo. My friends also ordered the chicken and waffle which looked absolutely delicious! Overall - with a group of friends - Lavelle was a relaxing place for food and drinks to lounge away the day. It is a bit pricey but it is price you paid for a view and the atmosphere. I will return to check out dinner and see how it is set for the fall/winter. read more

If you need to take an elevator to reach the restaurant, you know it's damn fancy. One might think, is this going to be above my budget? Even during COVID times, Lavelle is packed. I recommend everyone to make a reservation before going, and please, don't bring large bags. I found a few reviews that complained about their absurd policy to restrict fanny packs and gym bags. Apparently, one girl said she didn't carry LV and was denied entry LOLs. I told my group of friends, and half of them actually brought their LV purses. I looked at my Marc Jacobs purse and gave it a gentle pat, "It's okay". COVID SCREENING! Lavelle does a pretty good job by having their staff give out QR codes to the customers. So with your phone, you scan the QR code and complete their questionnaire (e.g., Do you have a cough?). Afterwards, someone will measure your temperature (aiming at your forehead without any physical contact). We were pretty lucky to be seated at a cabana; so our own little paradise and away from other people - especially important during COVID. There was a bit of a wait and they eventually sat us at Cabana No. 2 (instead of No. 1). And if you are assuming we had to move after, you are correct - slightly annoying of course lols. They gave us a map and showed us where our cabana was, I guess no waiters/waitresses will walk us to the table. Any time you go inside the building (elevators or washroom), you need to wear a face covering. I think the only thing that I wasn't super comfortable with, was that the employees wore half face shields (covering their chin, mouth, and nose) instead of an actual mask. I would have preferred an actual mask, but I guess it's more trendy this way. Anyways now that the boring stuff is done, let's talk about the service and food. It can get pretty overwhelming since they have so many staff members walking around and directing commands. I also think they could have spaced tables further apart, but I guess they need to make money too. We were provided with plastic cups for water, which was a horrible idea because it was so windy, things kept getting blown away (but I understand from a public health point of view). The service was pretty good, and someone was always available. They don't give out menus, so from the same QR code, you access food selections through your phone/browser. I think everything was expensive lols, but you are paying for the view, which by the way is gorgeous. I had the short ribs tacos which were amazing! Super crispy tacos, and the short ribs were flavourful. I loved that they filled every taco to the brim, and there were 4 in total. I was impressed. The truffle fries were good, and for $12 you really do get a lot. We made 2 orders of truffle fries and had to pack 1 up. The drinks were okay, but they did not look fancy at all. One of my friends got her drink in an ugly blue plastic cup, not a great IG photo op. Lavelle is a pretty nice place, I recommend that everyone come here at least once. It can get a little chilly at night, so make sure you bring a cardigan or sweater. Personally, I was shocked at the crowds on King Street. It's nice to go out once in a while, but stay safe. read more

Lavelle is the new rooftop lounge/restaurant that opened near King and Bathurst. The space features a 155 foot long rooftop pool which consists of 2 wading pools and a middle pool that is deep enough to swim laps in. However don't count on swimming in the pool unless you pay the $200 annual membership or "a minimum spend" while hanging out in one of several of the blue cabanas. Female staff are uniformly dressed in black dresses or provocative black swimwear with sarongs. There are also several bars, a garden overlooking the CN tower, and a DJ at night. The chef, Romain Avril, is formerly from La Societe and was chatting with staff during our visit. Hubby and I came for dinner. Our server Andrew was very engaging and made several good suggestions for appetizers and dessert. We started off with the tuna tartare which had big notes of ginger and more subtle scallion and cilantro flavours, which was served with thin rolls of daikon radish and a crispy wafer. Our mains of beef tenderloin with a plated round of shredded short ribs, as well as herb crusted lamb with polenta fries were tasty. I loved the crust and flavour of the lamb. Portions were on the small side. I found my tenderloin was slightly overcooked and a bit salty. The S'mores dessert was very good. The chocolate bar and graham crust were awesome but I wished there was a bit more smokiness to the toasted marshmallow ice cream. If you're seated in the perimeter near the pools, you'll be served drinks in plastic glassware, which was a little odd to me given the $35+ price tags on our meals but understandable for safety reasons. This place has a very relaxed cool vibe. A definite place to hang out with friends, or a scene where people come to see and to be seen. I'd come back, but probably for drinks with friends. 3.75 stars. read more

Called ahead of time to get a reservation for my birthday. Nope, fully booked. The person I spoke with was nice of enough to suggest just "walking in". So I showed up and what do you know they had a table for two. 1st point. Then I ordered a half of dozen oysters and BAM I couldn't believe my taste buds. The oysters were so fresh and so delicious that I ordered another half dozen. I also ordered a old fashion and my wife had a sauvignon blanc. 2nd point. We ordered the cornish hen and the cod with wild mushrooms and mash potatoes. 3rd point. Our server was attentive and even suggested some other spots to dance and have a drink. (Check out The Drake Hotel on Saturday nights) Overall Lavelle was everything I needed for my birthday dinner and more. Elegant, grown and delicious. If you're in Toronto and need a rooftop dinner with great food and great service. read more

I had brunch here on a Sunday afternoon and made reservations for 2. The lady when you first walk in welcomed us and found my reservation promptly. When we got upstairs, another 5 hostesses welcomed us but they couldn't find my reservation and then apologized due to their "iPads not refreshing fast enough". Not to mention, they were very stuck up and acted like it was incredibly busy when there about 3 tables taken in the whole place. We were seated, welcomed by our waiter. He asked us what we wanted to drink and my boyfriend was still looking at the drink menu. The waiter thought he said something and said "Look me in my eyes and tell me what you want", when my boyfriend did not even say anything yet. Wasn't that much selection on the menu and our food was mediocre and also came cold. We ordered the salmon, kale and egg bennies, and also the 48hr rib and bennies. Half way through our meal, a lady who looked like a manager asked if she can take the table attached to our table. They took the table and left the chair and it looked so awkward. Overall, nice view and beautiful aesthetic space. Everything else, not worth it. read more

I like this place. It is fancy, different from many other bars and has a great rooftop pool. I had many drinks out there and I always thought that the prices are correct.

Had a business meeting here. Views were great. Weather was nice. The place reeks of insecure, pretentious people. I didn't even notice the server's actual face but rather her duck lips and non-moving inflated boobs that were a sliver away from showing her nipples. Really? Gave it stars for the view and nice large roof top. Didn't try the food. It's a place that tries hard to be hip and trendy but if you're a mature, conscious human being you'd smell from the front entrance that it's not. read more

I've been to Lavelle twice since it opened - once for brunch and once on a Friday night. Brunch There were no reservations available online but when we arrived at 11am we were the first ones seated in the restaurant - it didn't start filling up until well after 1pm. The decor was beautiful - bright, white and spacious with four person tables and booths that face the pools. Our server was friendly and attentive. I wasn't expecting such good service however since we were her only table she had nothing but time to give us. Brunch wasn't as expensive as I envisioned - approximately $15-$17 a dish. There was a big focus on eggs benny and creative ones e.g. pork belly, frittata benny. I got the avocado toast, an americano and a mimosa and my bill including tax and tip was just under $40. The avocado toast was fairly average and very small. I wasn't a fan of the red pepper aioli they used as it overwhelmed the avocado flavour. The presentation was nice on a wooden board (and my friends had skillets) but there should have been more toast and less fries. If they need some inspiration for avocado toast they can take a short walk down the street to Gusto 101, who far outshines them here. The bathrooms are individual stalls on the side of the bar. They are well suited to those using the pool but a bit of a downgrade if you're dressed up and coming from the restaurant. They're a fairly tight fit and have decent toiletries in plastic bottles. I was expecting some swanky washrooms but I guess they wanted to save on space. Friday Night We looked at eating in the restaurant however decided not to for a few reasons. Firstly the dinner menu ramps up spend because many of the cheaper lunch options are removed. What remains are $25+ mains and a few cheaper apps and salads (that you know are going to be really small). Secondly they are completely inflexible on booking a table for more than four. I'm told that you need a pre fixe menu for a party larger than four. I also tried to work around this by asking if two tables of four could be placed next to one another. I was told absolutely no on multiple occasions. When we did arrive I noticed said restaurant wasn't even remotely full. This stubbornness and unwillingness to accommodate struck me as ridiculous. How hard could it be to make this happen? As it turns out we ended up on the patio for drinks and scored a table that could easily fit eight people. The drinks were up there on price but not as bad as I imagined. A few friends and I split some $45 bottles of pinot grigio, which for the area isn't too bad at all. We also got some apps, including fries, edamame and corn nuts. They were on the small side but decent. Our server was also better than I expected once we got past the fact that we wouldn't be ordering bottle service. The patio is lovely, sunny and spacious with good distance between tables. There are wonderful views of downtown Toronto and the CN Tower, i.e. many Instagram-worthy photo options. It definitely has a less classy vibe than the restaurant given some of their wooden table/bench style seating. I found it an odd contrast with their sun loungers, cabanas and high tables. When you first arrive you might feel intimidated because all the female staff are there in skimpy black semi sheer bikini/sarong combinations and there are bottle service buckets on every table. But have no fear - go and sit down at a free table and bypass their requests to bottle service you or break the bank to fit in. The Cabanas I didn't seek out a cabana but I enquired on their pricing out of interest. To secure one you need a $2000 minimum spend (before tax and gratuity) and they house about 12-15 people. This is one of the few ways you can access the pool (the other two being paying the $200 annual membership fee or being in the know with all the hookups). Apparently the cabanas can also be winterproofed - that would be interesting. When we were there a few people were using the cabanas but they didn't appear to be large parties. Perhaps they have had to relax the rules a little bit. All in all Lavelle is a nice place to hang out on a sun-shiney day and a great location to make a drink gathering a little more special. You can dress up, enjoy fabulous city views and take lots of nice photos. It is also a lot more accessible for ordinary folk than equivalent rooftop bars in the city e.g. Thompson rooftop. I do wonder what kind of service I would receive if the place was really busy - I think that would be a true test of what Lavelle is all about. For now, I just hope they lighten up on their super strict table reservation system. read more

Lavelle - Pork belly benny, avocado toast, frittata benny and mimosas - Lounges Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Lavelle should focus on their club more than their restaurant because they don't do restaurant very well...at all. Owning a restaurant isn't for everyone and Lavelle is a prime example of this. FOOD: I'll start with the food since I came here to eat. The food was terrible. Grossly overpriced and bland. My burger was over cooked and the fries might as well have been from Harvey's. The sauce they serve with the fries is ketchup- great sauce choice for such an expensive restaurant. The heirloom tomato dish was literally a giant bowl of pasta in tomato sauce. No flavour whatsoever to the sauce. I didn't even want to see the dessert menu. I would bet money that their idea of a dessert menu consists of a chocolate lava cake- very original! SERVICE: atrocious! Server forgot our drink order and we had to remind her when the drinks still hadn't come out and we finished the appetizer. Then we got to wait an entire hour for the main course. This was very confusing because the restaurant was only half full on a Friday night and their menu is only about 8 items. Shouldn't the kitchen be able to cook those few items in an appropriate amount of time? Then our server never refilled our water even when I asked for more water. No apology for the hour wait for the food. Then had to wait another 20 minutes for the bill. Service here is so bad the table beside us mentioned they had been waiting forever too. Seems like they hire first time servers here which is surprising because high end restaurants usually only hire experienced staff. WEBSITE: terrible website. You go to look up the menu and it just has 3 small photos and no listing. Now that I've been and seen the pitiful offering I know why they don't post the menu online. Expensive and about 4 options. If you're going to have a small menu it should probably be good food. Overall: Lavelle is terrible and I wouldn't go back even if it was free. There's so many good restaurants in Toronto it's despicable when a place like this, serves food like this, at that price. I look forward to them closing. read more

I came here for a surprise birthday brunch. My initial thought walking in was these walls are so beautiful and colourful. There was a super friendly guy at the front greeting people as they came in and directing them which was extremely helpful. After I came out the elevator I was greeted again by another host who led me to my table. The ambiance, decore, everything was on point. The place is beautiful and the staff were very pleasant. I ordered the burrata and roasted tomato omlette that Elsy our waiter suggested and it was probably one of the the best omelettes I've ever had. Probably because I love roasted/fried tomatoes, cheese and mushrooms. There were two different kinds of mushrooms inside. It was so good!.I ordered it with a side salad it was meh. I haven't really had that many salads in my life that have blown me away. A lot of people ordered the chicken and waffles and said they were underwhelming so I wouldn't suggest it. The steak and eggs looked good and I definitely want to try their pancakes next time. I'll definitely be back this summer. My only complaint: the chairs are ridiculously heavy. read more

I came for dinner around 9:30 pm. It was still pretty empty inside. Food tasted decent but was unreasonably priced. The most expensive thing I ordered was the a salmon flatbread appetizer - this was one of the specials so it was not listed in the menu so I didn't know how much it cost until I got my bill. The menu was not updated so half the things I tried to order weren't available or were part of an older menu. The website lists the entire menu but the restaurant changes it up from time to time. I'm giving it four stars because the service was great and the ambiance was obviously amazing. read more

I went to Lavelle to celebrate my sister's bachelorette this weekend. Overall, we had a positive experience. The team that works there were very hospitable. Zianne was an absolute ANGEL for us. She was incredibly attentive and accommodating for our group - 11/10 customer service! The main downside is that the portions of food and drinks that you receive are small in comparison to what you are paying for, but realistically speaking you come to Lavelle for the vibes and the views anyway! The main items I recommend are: - The Thai Basil Mojito - Truffle Fries (a true must have) - Wagyu Sliders read more

Last night my girlfriends and I went to dinner at Lavelle. I got the burger and fries with a delicious garlic aioli. The burger was cooked just right and not overly masked with awful toppings and pointless sauces. Fries were yummy as well. We shared the charcuterie board. The meat was delicious but the preserves that came with it were gross. We also had the tuna tartare which was delicious. A must try at this place. Not overly fishy whatsoever and fresh. The Wines were also decent. We had a Pinot and Sauvignon as pairings. The highlight was the cocktail inspired ice cream. I had the mojito sorbet and my girlfriend had the salted tequila and lime. They were amazing! Service was great in dining room but at the bar my other friend waited over an hour for her burger and fries! No one apologized to her whatsoever and she had to flag several servers over to ask where her food was. Apparently they were too busy to remember! That was not a good impression on service. The view and pool are fantastic. Reminds me of the Thompson in terms of crowd and layout. Overall experience was good not great. read more

We decided to check out Lavelle since it's a new rooftop Patio near our house and it was a perfect day for patio dinning. We got there for brunch around 11:30am and the dinning area was empty, we didn't mind it because we got to choose our perfect booth with a nice view of the lake. Their brunch menu had a variety of dishes to choose from but only one egg dish. Since I was in the mood for eggs, I got the scrambled eggs. It was served in this cute little iron cast pot with toasted baguette and a side salad places on a plank of wood. I love how much thought was put into the presentation of the food. Not only my food looked good, it also tasted good with the exception of the side salad which was drenched with salad dressing. Our server was quite friendly but was a bit slow at times. He only came by to check up on us once after we got our food. We had wave him down a couple of times to ask for our water to be refilled. He also mess up on my husband but quickly fixed it and bought the right order within 5 mins. Overall it was a good experience because if the ambience and tasty food. read more

I've been to LAVELLE on several different occasions and I've always been let down, primarily with the service and the typical "905er" crowd that ventures there. If you're from out of town and want to do something local, this is NOT the place to meet locals. My recent experience (December 12th) was less than pleasant. I'm on a social committee at a corporate head office, where I was in charge of finding a location for our annual Holiday Party Extravaganza, and the directors at my workplace decided on LAVELLE when presented with 3 other options (compared with Thompson Hotel and the Maverick Brewing Company). We had our spot from 3 to 7 - our holiday party commencement time was at 4. When we arrived to set up our décor and photo booth at 3, they were rushing to move the furniture around and began mopping the floor at 3:30. This didn't affect us much, however, and we let it pass... until we visited the washroom. We asked them if they can clean the washroom before our guests arrived, and they told us that they'd be spotless. Later in the evening, one of our international clients exchanged words with our senior management about the state of the washroom, the complete lack of awareness from the staff, and above all else the time of the FOOD! It wasn't until 7 (when we were expected to leave) that the staff brought out our dessert options. They had another event at 8:00 and were kicking us out by 7:30. Which, in all respects, would have been appropriate to do so... if they managed properly on their end. Who gives desserts at the time when they expect patrons to leave? Overall, the service was extremely lacking. The overall space is the only saving grace, and I've been there during the summer months and the patio pool area is nice. With that being said, you'd be better off going to Cabana Pool Bar for a MUCH livelier experience. In conclusion, I absolutely DO NOT recommend coming here for a corporate gathering where you will spend $12,000 (at minimum) for poor service, bad catering etiquette, and expensive wine. read more

This place is an atrocity. I do not even blame the staff. I blame the GM. I was there last Saturday evening, The party I was joining for bottle service on the patio was treated terrible. I noticed someone with authority speaking terribly to not just staff but patrons. I asked one of the workers who she was, and they informed me that she was the GM. I believe her name was Jessica and I am appalled at the way she runs her venue. This is the type of person that runs a venue into the ground. I wish I could give this a 0 star review. Our server seemed to be changed twice within a one hour time span, this delayed not only drinks, but our food service. Upon leaving, I attempted to speak to the "manager" Jessica and was promptly brushed off as if what I had to say was meaningless. read more

Moved here from Goldie. Great rooftop ambiance. Covered and heated for the winter. Pool has steam coming out. Lights are shown up and shown out ! Multiple parties booked for the night. Came to the bar which is massive and wraps around. Really beautiful scene and great views 360° of the city ! Staff is awesome and servers and bartenders are great as well! Had a martini and my boy had a drink on the rocks. Can't complain ! read more

Wow, where do I begin. My friend reserved a table yesterday in the covered portion of the rooftop. The service started out very well at the beginning of the evening, 7pm, but as the night progressed it became increasingly difficult to flag anyone down for orders. Since we were seated near the opening to the uncovered portion of the rooftop portion, there was a continuous draft of extreme cold winds coming in and the establishment tried to remedy that by pointing a tiny heater our way, to no avail. The bathroom facilities were extremely poorly maintained and not at all looked after or replenished during the course of our visit. They had no toilet paper available within a few hours and one of their bathrooms did not have a lock on the door!!!! The design of the bathroom itself was so tiny and difficult to move around in. Now the prices, I understand that this is a higher end place but wow. For the drinks that I ordered, what I received, and what the bill came to--did not make add up. Also, the "covid" precautions that were in place were not at all taken seriously and enforced. I was approached by a employee who stated that I couldn't be within six feet of the bar while trying to place an order, meanwhile he was mere inches away from my face while I was being informed. Makes total sense yes? I will never step foot into this place ever again in my life and I recommend that anyone considering going, to please reconsider and save their hard earned money and precious time. read more

Overall - 3.5/5.0 Went for the brunch menu and the great views from the rooftop. Brunch was reasonably priced given the location and overall environment. We ordered the pork belly egg benny (which was done nicely with an egg that is perfectly runny and blended well with the pork belly and accompanying ingredients - but lacked a bit of finesse and complexity as a whole with its basic side potatoes) and the avocado toast (which was just okay though the fries that came with it were really good). Service was quite slow and a bit amateurish. All in all, it is a decent spot to catch some great views in a posh setting. read more

The good: - Since opening a few weeks ago this place quickly has become my preferred lounges in the king west area. The rooftop outdoor patio has an amazing skyline view of the city (similar to the Thompson). - The staff are usually friendly and the environment is very chill. I haven't tried the food yet so I will update later on that. - no cover (yet) and lots of seating. The bad - it can take a while to get in since not only do you need to wait in line to get into the building you also need to wait in line for the elevator. - while during the week this place doesn't get very busy on Fridays and Saturdays you could be stuck waiting in line for a while if you come after 1030pm. - this place is not cheap if you plan on drinking a lot. Expect to pay a premium for the view (ex: $10+tip for a can of bud light). read more

Too bad the food doesn't match the upscale location!! Stunning view of the city and really beautiful location to come enjoy the pool and/or drinks with a great atmosphere. But since Yeld is about food I can't give this restaurant more then 2 stars. Very very mediocre food with an expensive tag. What a disappointment!! read more
