I love their cocktails and the food. I've been here twice and the chef didn't disappoint. The pineapple fried rice was my favourite. It's also great for events. Service was excellent and they provide decor. read more

After hearing my friends rave about it I finally made it here on a Saturday during TIFF for a mother-daughter day. We didn't make a reservation so were seated at the bar for both drinks and dinner. I love the vibe, decor and the food. The service was exceptional! People were cheerful, professional, attentive. We ordered : Flamingo drink - very creative. tasted a bit watery for me though. Shark Drink Mushroom wrap - loved it, will order again Deep fried eggplant - loved it Poke on yam chips - tasted like ceviche on yam chips Pineapple fried rice - tasty, I found the rice a bit too chewy for me. Probably won't order again. Our bill came to $101 including taxes and gratitude. I would say it's fairly reasonable for downtown dining. Will probably come back again with a bigger group! read more

Had been meaning to check out Miss Things for quite some time. The decor is lovely and atmospheric. A little loud, and a little tight. Watermelons are out of season, but they managed to get a cache of small ones for a splashy tropical drink (meant to be shared between 2 people). $22. Tasty. The Hoki Poki (tuna on taro chips) was reasonably good, even for someone who doesn't normally enjoy fish. The Pineapple Fried Rice was just okay, and a bit overpriced at $19. Not a lot of flavour. The pork belly was chewy and fatty... should've gone with the jackfruit, I think. The Fried Chicken was reasonably good, but again, a bit overpriced at $18 for 4 pieces. It came with house-made pickles, which tasted like vinegar and sesame oil; we weren't feeling it. + Good atmosphere + Good service - Wobbly table - A little overpriced and overrated - This restaurant is pro-gratuity read more

I have mixed feelings about Miss Things. I was invited to a birthday get together here and was exited to check it out. The decor Inside was awesome! I couldn't stop looking at everything and it was a great place to hang out. The stools that are by the tall tables look great but after some time are quite uncomfortable. We all ordered food and drinks. I stuck with beer as most of the drinks seemed to be overpriced and over decorated. Some of the drinks were comical, as they were just over the top. Some served in pineapples, watermelons, and ceramic sharks. Fun for a quick pic but at the end of the day we all want good drinks and good food for a fair price. The food was a fusion and really a hit or miss. Some people were really disappointed with their food but most were just meh. read more

Loved this place! The vibe is so cool, and the drinks are top notch! The staff is also very helpful with the menu incase you aren't sure what to get! read more

Miss Things - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not a good experience here. Our reservation was for 8:45, and we weren't seated until 9:30. There were empty tables that sat open for a lot of that time, even after prodding our hostess to seat us. Our server didn't arrive to take our order until 9:45...and we didn't get water until our meal came. The food was cold, the portions were really tiny, and the staff (from the hostess, to the bartenders were indifferent). We had the Bau Po Boy, the Squid, and the Steak w/ Duck egg. The Bau was OK, the squid was too strongly flavoured of black bean, and the Steak and Duck egg were almost inedible as they were served room temperature. We left hungry. We asked for our server to comp the drinks that we had while waiting to be seated, which she obliged to. But really, it should have been offered when our table wasn't ready. read more

So many things. Ambiance was beautiful. (Be a pretty and casual guest- ppl wore runners and/or elegant dressy items!) Music was lovely, lighting perfect, design was beyond thoughtful! So many beautiful and romantic touches! The drink menu is rum/tequila heavy so I'm a happy lush - fuzzy wawa comes in a coconut, all the kitschy happiness! Any of the different cocktails I ordered landed nicely (5) but the standout was the 'Madie Me do it' a refreshing and vibrant take on a blissfully sharp tequila mojito. My sweet server directed me to it. Speaking of service- one hundred percent professional- but fun! Super quick, from the hostess to the bartender to the lovely servers! (Bit of a lack of bussing) now with all this brown nosing you may be wondering why I left off a star (no u r not, but I think just that highly of my reviews ;'p) it would be that the food was really 4 out of 5. The only dish that landed for me was the poisson cur, a delightfully effervescent fish salad with a coconut pate (my wording not the restaurant) it was challenging and bright and had all the tropical flavours of this Polynesian fusion restaurant focused and with the lightest touch. There was snapper, red onion and the sweetest infusion of the beach. Beyond compare. Now... the shrimp po'boa - meh, comforting and yawn (I know I'm a bore!) The scallion flatbread - densely delicious, like a high school jock - strong and forgettable aside from when you feel like a bit of throwback. The fried chicken- no. Boo. Over brined, too soft and mushy, my date was looney in love with it. It was what I would have if I had an ulcer and couldn't eat fried chicken anymore. I'd eat this. Bc it's the softest, least crunchy fried chicken in the city of toronto. Soft, nearly sweet put for the gentle salt flavours. The dessert- Bruleed banana split - ice cream was not very flavourful, again date enjoyed it, but the banana was a lovely surprise, crisped out with sugar and love. And really that's the take away from this restaurant. Every single element is crafted, created and poured over with absolute love. Soulful love. There is nothing banal, it is sweet and fine and loving. Omg... I think... why I think I'm in love! :') read more

First time here! Found the place while browsing Google maps. Always expect to find some gem out in Queen west. It's a cute restaurant with lots of floral designs, funky cups for drinks, and hosts DJs on Saturday nights.The menu is a mix of Asian and Hawaiian fare, we ordered the pineapple fried rice and a noodle dish, besides other appetizers and everything was tasty and flavourful. The servers are nice and helpful and we were celebrating a friend's belated birthday and everything went smoothly. Will come back in the near future. read more

The food is amazing, but the bar service was the worst that I had in my whole life. 45 minutes for a beer - and the place is not even full - don't need to say anything else. read more

The Hawaiian-inspired decor is beautiful and it helped us feel like we were not in Toronto anymore (which was great). The servers were attentive and our orders of short rib loco moco and pineapple fried rice with pork belly came out relatively fast. The price is a bit up there but unlike other establishments, at least their portions are large. I could not finish my pineapple fried rice, which, the pork belly was super thick-cut and crispy but not tough. The rice itself however was a bit over cooked so it had lost it's texture after getting re-fried but it was alright. I got the electric banana as my cocktail of choice and it tasted like a yummy virgin version of what it was supposed to be. It was nice to eat a dolphin-shaped banana at the end though! I wouldn't say this is a place to enjoy the food but more for the gram and getaway feels with cute decor. read more

Miss Things - Front entrance - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Maybe it was the fact that my girls hadn't been out in a while and were in a good mood.....nah, this place ROCKS! We shared the conch salad, spam crostini (forgot the name), blue cheese dumplings, flatbread, and shrimp bao. All had such unique flavors. The shrimp bao was particularly interesting because of the melded flavors of Thai lemongrass with the Chinese concept which was an amazing flavor combination. The conch salad had just the right amount of heat to it, combined with sweet and tart flavors. The spam dish was delicious as well, as it played on the sweet and salty. Sweet from the pineapple-type relishing scallop on top of the salty spam square. They took a not so glamorous meat and lifted it up to meet the restaurant standard dining. You would think the blue cheese dumplings would cause a huge explosion of bold flavors, however it was quite mild which was good, to match the delicate flavor of the sweet rice flour exterior. The flat bread was equally delicious. For entrees we split the braised short ribs, pineapple fried rice, and lobster ramen. Oh my goodness! That ramen broth is incredible! Rich, buttery, and unique! The pineapple fried rice is so good with both the jack fruit and the pork on top. I didn't find it overly sweet, which I was concerned about upon ordering. It's nicely seasoned and presented so beautifully in the pineapple shell. The short ribs with gnocchi and kale were so tender and bursting with flavor! Made me want to lick the plate! For dessert we tried the short stack pancakes topped with pineapple and rum sauce. Perfect ending to the night! I gave this restaurant 5 stars, not only because of their food, but also for their incredible staff! Our waitress (small, brunette haired girl) was so accommodating and kind to us. She was patient and really did her best to make us happy! We had a ton of questions and sat to chat for so long, I was sure she'd have had enough of us...but nope! She was incredible from start to finish, cracking jokes throughout the night. That kind of service is really hard to find these days! read more

Quite underwhelming. Food was quite dry overall. Ordered drinks, actually was quite please with the selection, presentation and actual flavor of the cocktails. The pineapple beer was on the more sour side, wish that was communicated. The chicken skewers and came out lukewarm, dry. Ordered the bao's, again dry and chewy. Wish I had a better experience, was looking forward to this visit. read more

3.5 stars. I'd describe it as a place to go with the girls for fun tiki-themed cocktails and shareable nibbles. The beautiful hand painted flowers on the walls, combined with the super chic chairs/decor make it a very instagramable place (though once it starts getting dark appealing photos are kind of impossible with the dim lighting). We ordered the watermelon salad, spam pintxo, blue cheese dumplings, pineapple fried rice and the pork buns. My favourites were probably the watermelon salad (refreshing but a nice mix of flavours) and the spam pintxo (i would get two orders of this! the spam and scallop combo was unreal). The pineapple fried rice was very disappointing despite all the hype it's gotten online - I think it's just the wow factor of it being served in a pineapple because the actual fried rice and pork belly itself was very undeterwhelming. The more traditional loco moco (which a table next to us ordered) looked much better! Service was great, not amazing (could have been a bit more attentive with keeping our glasses filled and coming by to ask if we wanted to order anymore) but nothing glaring. read more

Visited again with a friend the other week. Again sat at the bar because I hadn't made a reso in time. I enjoy sitting at the bar here! Robin served us, and made a great recommendation for the first drink. As I had to drive home he made offered to make a mocktail, which ended up being so ridiculously delicious. I'm not big into sweet drinks - more an old fashioned kinda girl - and he got it exactly right. So. Damn. Good. Robin was a great host and I'm looking forward to my next trip to Miss Things! Only things I'd change are the bar stools - or maybe my legs are too short! And add a hook for my bag. Side note; though I wasn't blown away by the pineapple fried rice last time, almost every table (and fellow bar dwellers) had an order so maybe I'll give it another shot! read more

Went here for the firs time last night. I heard of all the hype and how difficult it is to get a reservation or just drop in to eat. I was looking forward to the experience as I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The atmosphere was pretty cool. Very relaxed vibe. The hostess and the servers are really good at making you feel at home and taking care of your dinning needs so this is a plus. The drinks are fun and creative. Very different from what you would see elsewhere so that was a pleasant surprise. I ordered so pineapple drink which was pretty good but it tasted like black licorice which was a bit unexpected. I think the drinks are a bit overpriced for the amount that is served in the cup (full of ice). The food was mediocre. First it came out quite cold. Was not hot like it should be. We ordered the shrimp as an appetizer which came in a soft squishy sweet bun. It was ok. Not my favourites. We also ordered the steak with coconut rice and the beef short ribs with gnocchi. Both were so so. The one thing I did like was the coleslaw that came with the steak and the sauce for the short ribs. The sauce tastes like oxtail gravy (West Indian style) that was a big plus!! However the sauce over powered the meat. All in all this spot was just ok. I don't think I would rush to go back. read more

Server was rude and service was rushed for a dead Tuesday night. Cocktails were creative, however the food lacked flavor; if I had to recommend a dish, I would say the Spicy Tako if you're into seafood. This place turns into a club on the weekend, and after last night's experience, should stay that way. read more

Pros: interesting food, a beautifully designed setting, friendly service, good cocktail selection, fun vibe Cons: portions are somewhat small for the price, some dishes are a miss (eg the octopus was quite rubbery, poke appetizer is a bit skimpy on the tuna) Worth checking out but not necessarily worth going back to. read more

Went there on a Friday night around 6. Had a reservation which seemed like a good idea as it got very busy within half an hour. Server was kind and very efficient. He explained that the food was Polynesian inspired and it was recommended to share a few plates. Ordered the eggplant, famous pineapple rice and lau lau noodles. The food was very sub-standard. Bland, cheap on the meat and overall underwhelming. Considering you can get similar dishes at cheap Thai restaurants in the area for half the price I'd avoid this place. That being said, service was good and decor is cool. read more

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and they've done a great job with the space. Staff was accommodating when I booked the only available slot for a Friday night and asked to be notified if an earlier table became available. They contacted me right away and got me moved up to an earlier reservation. I was expecting sweet and rum-y cocktails like the ones found in other tiki bars, but they were all extremely boozy and underwhelming (couldn't taste the pineapple in the Pineapple Reviver, and the Campari overpowered all the other flavours in the Disco Juice). Food was nicely presented but overcooked, oversalted, and overpriced. read more

Miss Things - Pineapple fried rice with pork belly - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not the hostess with mostess! ! Had the most delicious meal with amazing cocktails and our waitress was delightful! We had said we would be getting dessert but were just having a break. Then the hostess comes to our table and tells us we need to leave as they have another booking. She was not polite about it. We informed her we would like to have dessert and she said well unless you sit at the bar it's not possible. Perhaps if you know you have a booking you should have informed us with a decent amount of warning. Such a shame, a sour end to the evening!! read more

Went to Miss Things last night with a group of friends! Pros -Drinks are super fun! Cocktails are on the pricier side, but worth it when it comes in a coconut, a banana dolphin etc. -Staff were friendly and attentive -A good venue for a larger group, my friend brought her baby and they were very accommodating Cons -For a group of 7, all our food came out at different times. 2 dishes came out, then we waited 10 minutes and 2 more dishes came out, waited another 10 minutes and 2 more dishes came etc. Basically I finished my meal before my friends came out. The restaurant was not busy when we were there, so I was confused why some dishes took forever. -I had the poke bowl with salmon. It was delicious but absolutely drenched in wasabi mayo. If you get this dish, ask for it on the side. Portions were tiny for the price Overall I like the vibe but probably would go somewhere else for food! read more

Had a horrible experience the second we walked in. My South Asian friends and I walked in on Sat March 30th, and asked the lady at the front for a table of 4 as we had not made any reservations. We were immediately dismissed without the hostess even looking up at us, with a "We are COMPLETELY booked". We were a little shaken up as it was quite rude. We then stepped aside to plan where to head next, when a group of four Caucasian women came in without a reservation either. They were greeted politely, and told that they can be put on the wait list (this was not told to us). At that point we just existed the restaurant and saw the four girls being taken to a table. This was the single most DISGUSTING thing i have experienced as someone who was born and raised in Toronto. Shame on this restaurant for this type of behavior. Learn to treat EVERYONE with respect. read more

Went on a Friday night for date night, however the place was jam packed! We had to grab a seat at the bar so you should definitely make reservations before you go, especially if your crowd includes over 2 people. The food was delicious and the drinks are pretty. On the left is the fried chicken (4 piece) - just comes with the chicken and sauces, for $18 I'd say that's a bit over priced. Then on the right is the shrimp po bao - delicious and only $12!! Overall, great experience. I'd say it's the perfect place for a girls night!!!! read more

I was there last night for a wedding reception and it was just perfect from the service to the food to the drinks it was all just amazing loved it read more

It's pretty atmosphere reminds me of something in Yorkdale rather than a tiki lounge. Food was tasty (shrimp po'bao and chicken yakatori), drinks were a let down. They tasted weak and we were excited about maybe getting a coconut or something fun to drink out of...no just a regular tumbler glass. If I'm paying $15 I want a fun "tiki" drink! Also ordered pineapple cake shots which had to be reminded to arrive. Back to the food, it was ok. Nothing I couldn't find elsewhere for a better price. Bill was around $70 and I felt the regret. Not really an exciting atmosphere, not feeling tiki.... feeling my parents watered-down version of tiki. It seems like the other bar down the street knows their stuff(fun drinks, fun decor). Two stars because it was pretty inside, food was warm and fast. read more

I went here to my 25th birthday with a couple of my friends. I heard nothing but great feedback from my friends and family that have gone to this restaurant recently. However, I felt the complete opposite after this visit. The food that we ordered all came at different times. Two of My friends recieved there poke bowls first, 25 minutes later another dish arrived. 30-35 minutes after my friend who ordered the same dish as me got her dish. After waiting another 20-25 minutes I finally got pineapple fried rice with pork belly. Overall the food was underspiced and bland. The only good thing about this experience was the cocktails and unique interior. read more

Decent food, but you're paying for the concept. We made reservations which were not honoured in terms of timing (we were waiting for about 30-40 mins), and overall, the dishes are super expensive for the portion you get. read more

A very hip and cool place, and especially cool drinks! This place is packed all night long and even though we made reservations for a late dinner and drinks, we still ended up waiting a long time. Didn't help either that the staff gave away the table that we were supposed to get to accommodate for the manager's friends -_- Besides that, the drinks are good and really bring that tropical vibe to the city. Reservations are a must, despite still having to wait, but without, you'd have a very slim chance of getting a seat as it was literally packed from the second we arrived to late into the night. read more

This was such a fun culinary experience! It's not everyday you (and by you I mean I) find a delightful little Hawaiian restaurant in Parkdale. The place is a lot smaller than I anticipated but apparently the back of the restaurant is rented out for special events and maybe particularly bumpin' Friday nights. I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it was 7pm on a Tuesday when I was there so understandably, not bumpin'.. but still busy enough to make you think 'hey, if this many people are here at 7pm on a Tuesday night, they've got to be doing something right". They were doing a lot of things right! Starting with the decor which was simple and classy mixing Polynesian with Art Deco. I had a cocktail called 'Becky With the Good Hair' which was one of the best cocktails I have ever had, served in a tall glass with a gold straw. This place oozes effortless elegance. The presentations of all of our dishes were on point. As an entre, we had the fried eggplant - crispy and delicious in a sweet and tangy drizzle and the pineapple fried rice, served in an actual pineapple! Both had a very authentic, naturally sweet taste. I wish there were a few more veg friendly menu items. Regardless, I will definitely be back, especially during the impending winter months for what Miss Thing's is servin' up - the culinary equivalent of a Hawaiian beach vacation. read more

Came here for a dinner party, and it was awesome. Our waitress was great and the food was great. Everyone ordered drinks and loved them. Our food orders were delicious, I ordered the steak and duck egg on rice. Very tasty, others ordered the pineapple fried rice. We ordered appetizers and they all tasted great. I cannot rave enough about this place. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a yummy cocktail or a yummy dinner. read more

We walked quite a way to enjoy a drink and appetizers with four of us. We entered at 6:40 pm and there were numerous tables open; however we were told that they were all reserved for dinner customers only and there was no room at the bar for us either. While we understand this fact, the attitude of the hostess was quite disappointing. She just appeared to shove us along and out the door and as a result, we will never attempt to return. read more

If I could give this restaurant a negative 5 stars I would. The hostess placed us to the back of the restaurant where The Decour was drab the walls were undecorated and concrete. The table they had us at was a fold up table that you could purchase at Walmart for $25 and they decorated it with a plastic table mat that was covered in stains. And the drapery was falling on the floor. We asked the waiter after us waiting 20 minutes just to be sat after arriving early to our reservation if we could have a new table at the front because this table was unadequte they told us OK and then we proceeded to sit for another 40 minutes without being checked on. And when asked by one of my friends why we were waiting so long and what they could offer us as compensation for waiting the woman quickly shut off the conversation by saying two minutes two minutes and proceeded to take another 10 minutes before we sat at the table at this point with me being pregnant we decided that our business was better taken somewhere else so we left. Mind you at the back of the restaurant is where all the people of colour were placed and at the front you could clearly see it was predominantly Caucasian people. If you are a person of colour do not sit at this restaurant or eat at this restaurant because they will just take your money and provide you with poor service and place you at the back of the restaurant as if back on the bus. read more
