    Location is 10/10, right by Union Statio so it's convenient. Ushers are super helpful and nice Very clean professional and sound systems are nice ! Amazing venue !

    I came here for the Lord of the Rings show. The show itself was fine, but my experience with the venue was negative. Most disappointing is the fact that there's not enough bathrooms for the audience. Lineups for both men's and women's bathrooms were incredibly long, causing people to be late to the show and after intermission. There also wasn't enough concessions support, which led to the same problem. Lastly, I feel that the ushers could direct people to their seats so that late comers don't struggle in the dark and interrupt the experience for everyone else.

    The location is good. Little walk from Union station or king station. There is face painting, coloring activities, and a special pre-show chat with Frozen composer, Christophe Beck. I have so much fun in the performance. I really enjoyed and have an amazing experience.

    This was my first time attending an event at this theatre, and my seat was in Orchestra 3, row CC on the left side. I thought the seats were comfortable and there are cup holders for your drink, which is always a plus. I was there to see Jim Jeffries. My seat was close enough that I was literally about 10-12 feet away from him for a good part of the show as he walked back and forth from side to side as he talked. I don't know how I'd rate the theater if I was sitting near the back, but from where I sat, it was great. I wish I could have taken a photo, but it was prohibited at this show. Oh well. The downside was the line to get into the theater. There was only one entrance and it was moving ever so slowly. I didn't purchase any drinks, as the line was too long, but it's nice that you can take your drink in with you. Security check was quick and painless, and staff were quite friendly. I'd love to see a concert here.

    Came for the Dora awards. Easily accessible with union station close by and many parking lots close by. Large open theatre with 2 bars on main level. Washrooms on lower level. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable seats with cup holders (yay!). Great venue to watch a show. I sat in left orchestra and the view was fine.

    Absolutely amazing experience coming in to see a comedy show at this venue. I unfortunately needed accommodations as I was recently put into a wheelchair, I was answered after multiple phone calls from the box office, and they share with other venues, and once connected everybody was absolutely pleasant to deal with. Everyone was extremely prompt letting me know my options, and as well completely fixing The problem I had with my current tickets. On the night of the show, the ushers were able to notice my wheelchair and were able to get me in sooner to then get me seated or give me extra time if I needed for beverages or the washroom, overall great experience and show. Do not have any worry if needing extra information or guidance with regards to this venue. Someone will be able to answer!

    Been here many times for different types of concerts/shows. I love the seating here, super comfortable and just enough space... but can see how it might be different for tall people that require more leg room. I've never been on the top floor yet so I can't judge their view... But the view on the bottom no matter where I sat is good! The only thing I dislike about this place is the lack of female washrooms... The location of the washrooms and how expensive anything is! (I don't mean the merch for the show)

    This theatre is quite good. I was here last weekend for Shen Yun and although I didn't care much for the production, the seating was great and they had a nice elevation. We were in the centre orchestra section so you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good seat. The Sony Centre is easy to get to with ample parking and restaurants close by. I would definitely come here to see another performance.

    The last time I was at this venue was back in 2006. It was called Hummingbird Centre. It's now the Sony Centre with a few more words behind it! Back in 2006, I noticed that Pet Shop Boys were playing. I didn't know that the duo was releasing new material and decided to give the Fundamental tour a shot. I became a huge fan! Since then, I have seen many of PSB's shows, but bit in Toronto. Last night was my return. Sony Centre has excellent acoustics. All that wood inside helps! The restrooms are clean, and there are plenty of areas to buy a drink or many. The merchandise area is set up well. There are also additional staff selling tour books away from the main merchandise area. The show was amazing! So much energy. The sound was perfect. It was loud, but expected. I can see why the place offered earplugs for $5! There are drink holders in front. It held my cell phone just fine. Excellent venue. I parked across the street for $20. It was a flat fee. Credit cards with a chip are accepted only. Staff were helpful. (217)

    This ALWAYS happens to me.  Luckily, my bf traded seats with me!

    **Christmas Cheers with a Touch of Glam**…read more Celebrated a Christmas party at Storys Building, and the experience was a mix of luxury, fun, and high energy. The first two floors are dedicated to dinner seating, while the third floor hosts parties and gatherings. The space worked, but with the number of people invited, it felt a bit tight -- something to keep in mind for larger groups. The vibe was fantastic. Drinks were expertly crafted, the bartenders were attentive, and a DJ kept the energy flowing in the background. As the night progressed, everyone hit the dance floor, and the party truly came alive. Bathrooms were plentiful and well-maintained, and the thoughtful touch of wellness kits in the ladies' room added a hint of luxury. One minor hiccup was the coat check -- it was a bit congested and struggled to accommodate all the coats. But my biggest suggestion for improvement would be the addition of an elevator. Climbing three floors in heels and dresses proved challenging for many, and an elevator would make the space more accessible without taking away from its elegance. Overall, Storys Building delivers a lively, luxurious, and memorable party experience. The energy, drinks, and attention to detail make it a spot worth revisiting -- just come prepared for a little stair workout if you're headed to the third floor.

I put a pair of sunglasses in my backpack's front pocket, I fully expected it to be crushed during coat check. The staff voluntarily assured me that they would make sure it was protected. I've been to other events where the coat check staff had lost my jacket, so the extra care on my belongings added to the positive experience. The staff there were pleasant and even remembered my face when I checked out my coat on the way out. The hors d'oeuvres were great, I enjoyed everything I tried, like the mini sliders, fried chicken, and bruschetta. We also had a taco station that was good too. I didn't expect any less since they are under the same hospitality group as Byblos and Patria, which I've dined at before and enjoyed. The biggest plus is the location, at the heart of the Entertainment District. It's close to many offices and the Financial District. Our cocktail hour ended in 2hrs but there are plenty of bars nearby to extend the get together for another drink. For example, Grace O'Malley's is just across the street and not too busy to grab a seat on a weekday night.

However, the…read morefrustration dealing with the venue from an operations perspective was so immense that I will never host an event here again. As a few examples of mismanagement of our event: Not informing our guests of the silent vegetarian option despite providing allergy list, overcharging us on our final bill incorrectly but insisting it was correct, sending our event info (with our personal information visible) to another party without an apology, chasing us for payment on dates that did not align with our contract. The level of unprofessionalism is appalling for a venue of this scale, but what pushed things over the top was the dismissive attitude that Derek took towards our concerns. As an example, when raising concerns that our final invoice matching our estimate exactly was impossible, Derek disregarded it as a "happy coincidence" despite further investigation showing that the venue had just billed us wrong. This type of tone, and lack of accountability, was consistent in all our communications with him. Mistakes happen, but the flippant attitude that Derek spoke to us with incredibly insulting. Had I known management was like this, we would have picked a different venue.

While the website states that they have one of the last manually operated elevators city, I was unfortunately not able to be able to check that out. But I did get a chance to check out their Oval Boardroom and the gallery downstairs where the movie was screened. unfortunaly the event was pretty low lit (you know being Halloween and all) so I wasn't able to really admire the venue, but it seemed great for a medium sized event (I'm not great at guessing numbers but I'd say 150-ish people). The Oval Boardroom amongst a few other smaller rooms was where we spent an hour or so with actors who would act out specific scenes from the movie. It is definitely a very interesting space, again, I didn't get a chance to really walk around to see what some of the items that were a part of the Heritage Centre's deco were like, but there seemed to be a few interesting looking frames around. I'm not sure who catered the food, so I can't really speak for any of the actual venues food, we didn't have hor d'oeuvre served which is usually the case for 360 screenings, so I'm not sure if that was due to the venue or our event hosts. I would like to come and check this space out during the day when I would have a better chance to check it out, but until that happens the Ontario Heritage Centre has a fan in me!

As Urgent as this was, we received a response almost immediately from an inquiry request from Andrew. We set up a walk through tour of the facility for the next day. This Banquet Hall is within a "strip mall" like building. To my surprise, there are multiple Banquet rooms (4 rooms total) that they have to offer accordingly to your guest count. ALL of the rooms are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Clean, spacious, and up to date renovations that surely will impress you and your guests. They offer a variety of packages & work with multiple vendors to make it your one stop shop. The Venue is located in a good area & the Pricing point is shockingly affordable. I say shockingly bc you would expect for the way this venue is set up to be far more costly than what it is. They have a good sized on site kitchen for use. Multiple small office rooms to use for party purposes (if available and upon request). Clean spacious bathrooms. Handicap accessible on the top floor. They do not have a ramp or elevator that leads to the downstair banquet rooms, only stairs. Plenty of parking on the backside of the building as well as street parking in front. Overall just an absolute gorgeous facility! We are so grateful to Marianne & Andrew for their phenomenal service. It felt like we were talking and dealing with family & Marianne made sure to take care of us in every way possible. She really was looking out for the well being of our family and took into consideration of our situation. She is the absolute Best! I am looking forward to our next big event so we can host it here.

Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

There's affordable parking around the area. It was awkward to be told that the coat checks are at the back of the venue, because you had to walk down the aisle and basically walk all the way to where the groom is getting ready. The chairs were not the most comfortable, and they were wooden, so they were quite noisy. Also, there is not a lot of seating, so many people are standing in the front area, even thought it was probably a wedding of less than 75 guests. The upper dining areas is nice; the solarium was bright and beautiful. However, the shape of the dining area is a giant ring, which means there isn't really a central place for the wedding couple/family to sit. Staff: Friendly staff, however they need to work on their attentiveness. Half of the table I was seated at was served, coffee/tea and the other half didn't get served. And no one was checking in on us. When we finally got the attention of one of the people, he directed us to ask a server instead (guess he wasn't a server?!). Food: Very good food. Enjoyed the meal very much. Overall, it is more like a 3.5 out of 5.
