Hidden gem on the east side with delicious Eastern European food!…read more We got the items recommended to us, which was the borscht and schnitzel sandwich and those were absolutely delicious. The pork schnitzel sandwich was juicy yet had a great fried breading on the outside, probably one of the best I've had in the city. Borscht was light yet hearty, a must get. The platter was also tasty, pierogi was a highlight for me and they have a variety to choose from. Nice little patio outside to enjoy your meal on a nice sunny day, but the bar inside is equally as cozy. Service is super friendly and food comes quick.

This place is an absolute must try if you've never had Georgian cuisine. We also tried shkmeruli, which is roasted chicken leg quarters doused in the creamiest, most decadent garlic cream sauce. Kind of like alfredo on crack. And dipping into it with the khinkali bread?! Heaven. You have to experience it for yourself. Service was amazing, the waitstaff gave great hospitality and they all went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Shoutout to the girl who gave us a super fun tableside mixing presentation!! Try to get a table inside, however their street patio is nice to eat on when the weather is decent. Absolutely will be returning to try their lamb khinkali which unfortunately they were sold out of today. Prices were super reasonable for the amount of food we were served. There was even enough for leftovers between two girls who hadn't eaten all day & had smoked right before coming here.

Things we got: Challah Buns 5/5 - Freshly baked buns and you get to choose your one dip. Got the chicken liver mousse and it was topped with a cherry sauce. The chicken liver was so good paired with the warm fresh bread. Crispy Potato 4/5 - Crisp and fluffy potatoes. Thought they were cut a tad too large for my liking. Served with mensch sauce. Summer Tomato 4/5 - Simple, refreshing dish. Smoked fish tonnato, rye crouton and garden herbs. What makes the dish was the sauce and croutons! Poppyseed Endive Salad 3/5 - Thought this was just okay. Simple ingredients but was nothing too over the top or special. Can skip. Chicken Schnitzel 4/5 - Came with a fermented plum sauce on top which I thought was a tad too sweet to pair with the chicken schnitzel. Great crisp though. Trout 4/5 - Cooked well and came with asparagus on the side. Sour cherry mix soft serve 5/5 - LOVED this to end the meal. Tarte and tasty. Overall, this spot was good with simple ingredients curating their menu. Favourite of the night was the Challah buns and chicken liver mousse.

Wow! An amazing dinner at Maven. I saw they had made the Air Canada top 10 restaurants list so I…read morehad to check it out. I'm so glad. We went for a 5pm reservation and it filled up rather quickly. The host and all the servers were really wonderful and attentive. For a group of 3 they recommended 4 small plates and 2 large ones all to share. Something nice is that they have complimentary sparkling water which I enjoyed. We ordered the challah - both the butter and pâté versions - the BBQ salami, crispy potatoes, the turnips, the endive salad, and the chicken schnitzel. They brought out the bread and salami first as well as complimentary house-made coleslaw which was crispy, light, and added a perfect vinegary bite. The challah was warm and airy. I didn't try the butter but I thought the pâté was very nice and smooth. The BBQ salami was incredible!! The mustard was a nice compliment with the apricot flavour as well. The turnips, salad, and potatoes came next, followed quickly by the chicken. I loved everything. The pear in the salad was an unexpected highlight. The chicken was the standout for sure. I absolutely loved it. For dessert we tried the cheesecake which was nice, a good balance of tang and mild sweetness. The bathrooms are also nice with the little WC signs, the good paper towel, and the recipes in addition to other art prints on the walls. I don't normally comment on the washrooms, but these were cute. Overall, everything we ate was wonderful and the service was great! It came out to about $170 for us but we ordered the perfect amount. It was a bit pricey but I really enjoyed everything. I would highly recommend Maven.

We love Rhapsody. The food is fantastic!…read more They have a good selection of appetizers and main courses. Their goulash soup is great and they always have that available. Be aware that their other soups are often "not available". Their salads are huge and must be shared. This is not a restaurant that you plan on having an appetizer, a main course and a dessert because the main course portions are gigantic. The schnitzels are really what you're going for. You get to choose 2 of 4 sides (rice, potatoes, red cabbage, veggies) and a schnitzel. You can't go wrong with any of the schnitzels. It all comes on your plate with the schnitzel often being bigger than the dinner plate itself. Their nokedli (Hungarian dumpling) is a side dish too and it is tasty. Their cucumber salad is good too. The restaurant is family owned and the staff are very helpful. They do go out of their way to assist or help and make accommodations. The restaurant is tired looking and there is a smell when you first walk in but nothing too bad. We would like to go more often, but it's usually reserved for more special occasions given the price. The price isn't crazy expensive given the price of food today and the portion, but it does exceed what would like to pay for a normal night out.

Very friendly service. Prices have gone up dramatically but…read morevalue has gone way down. Schnitzel was paper thin. What you are getting is a giant piece of of breading, just the coating which overflows the plate, with very little meat inside. Potato and cabbage were very good but can't recommend it for the prices being charged.

We ordered the Summerlicious menu and honestly every food was tasty, but the main--this sole fish dish?--soooo good, I can't believe. Desserts were also nice, like some homemade cake, looked simple but right amount of sweetness to enjoy! (Not too sweet) Even appetizer, don't need to say, it's already so delicious. And the 3 different dips came with bread... those dips just stuck in my mind, so good. The restaurant vibe was amazing, it feels like I'm chilling at some fancy bar next to the ocean in Europe, all bright and so chill, like holiday mood, you know? Also server was super friendly, like we didn't really know the greek foods but she explain everything so nicely. Service was just perfect. After this place I think I wanna try more Greek restaurants next time!

The restaurant itself was nicely decorated -- high ceilings, calm colour plan, lots and lots of space. I see why it's an event space. We shared everything. Started off with saganaki and dip sampler (we chose the eggplant one and spicy feta), had fish of the day (sole) and braised beef for mains, and finished with citrus pound cake and spiced cake. My two favs were the eggplant dip (I know how much work goes into making these) and the braised beef (so tender!). What a great way to showcase their menu. Would not have discovered this gem, if it had not been for Toronto's Summerlicious event.

As I commute from the Durham region on weekdays, Friday is the only day that opens later time (7:30), and I finally got the chance to try the food on a Friday afternoon! I bought - Olive loaf - Croissant (plain)] - Fig tart - Pear tart - Pâté en croute The olive loaf had a loooot of olives in it. It tastes great by itself, but I dipped it in good olive oil and balsamic. Great!!! The croissant was light, airy, and flaky. Nice butter flavor follows the bite. Fig tart and pear tart had a lot of fruits in them, not too sweet, which I appreciated. They do not cover the taste up with cream fillings and extract the ingredients' character and best texture/flavors/tastes. Also had a good buttery kick! Pate en croute has a lovely looking. The color of cranberries and pistachio makes it look festive & gorgeous. This savory food comes with slices of pickles which had a naturally sour, gentle flavor, which gave it a refreshing spike. They had a lot of wines as well, if you are a wine lover, you want to check this place out. They had beers as well for a beer lover like me :) Of course, I got a can of IPA from Merit brewery in Hamilton. I have never seen it before at any LCBO around here, excited! I hope to have a chance to visit here again sometime soon!
