    Great vibe! Glad we came earlier - restaurant is very popular and we arrived around 5pm and were able to be seated fast without needing to wait. Food is delicious and they have upstairs private seating places.

    I've been hearing so much buzz about Queens Harbour that we finally had to check it out and it did not disappoint. We were especially excited to try the Queens Garden, which is separate from the main dining room. The view from the second floor? Absolutely beautiful. It instantly set the mood for the night. Esteban (the AGM) personally walked us to our table, and Jackson took great care of us all evening. I asked Esteban for his starter recommendation, while my girlfriend went with the Mediterranean dip. For mains, we ordered the Chimichurri Sea Bass and the Black Tiger Fettuccine; both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. What really stood out was the service. Esteban and Jackson checked in on us throughout the night, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. I've honestly never seen an Assistant General Manager so hands-on and we loved it. Jackson was courteous, friendly, and always serving with a genuine smile. Easy 5/5 for us. We enjoyed it so much that we're already coming back in March to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday with the family. Can't wait!

    This place is huge! Multi level seating, patio, bar, private. I have sat at Queens Harbour and went to the White Garden as well(here till end of Jan 2026). Both areas have lovely ambiance, it was fairly busy each time I went, so expect to bump into people. Everyone is trying to take photos at the white garden. It can get a little loud but overall I very much enjoyed visiting both times. The food: we tried the calamari and it was probably tastiest I have had. It was fresh, I really enjoyed it. The steak and fries, the green pesto it was paired with was delicious. The pasta was good too. The portions are large so you are definitely getting your moneys worth. I also tried the steak and sushi and I have to say this was my favourite. The sauce on the steak is very tasty, stew was also cooked well to my liking. They have a variety of mocktails as well which we throughly enjoyed. The service: sometimes the staff is very busy, so you either have to find them or wait till they make their rounds. They are very informed on the menu. Also, keep an eye out on the receipt, our table was charged gratuity without our knowledge, so everyone paid double. Manger did correct as it wasn't suppose to be included for a group our size. Parking, they validate parking for 2 hours, it's the lot next door at 235 Queens Quay, very limited street green p parking. Another lot next door (evenings $20ish).

    I've been hearing so much about this place and had the pleasure of going for my friends birthday. It was great from when we arrived the staff were attentive and very nice. Our waiter checked on us a couple times throughout our time and was very quick with requests. The overall ambiance was very nice the vibe is very chic and classy. The food was good I usually opt for sushi when I go out as it's filling yet light and when I say this sushi was filling it came with 8 pieces per roll and it was so fresh the pasta was very flavourful the portion size was decent and could possibly be shared. The menu had a good selection of options and I will definitely be back to try other options. The drinks were strong but not over powering and flavourful

    Venue 4/5 Very pretty looking restaurant that is a large opening patio in summer. There are multiple floors and sections of the restaurant. There is a large bar as well. There is parking garage across street. Very limited paid street parking by the Toronto police station. Service 3/5 Drinks were slow to be delivered after order (20min wait at times). Food service was very slow despite the dedicated staff for party room and what seems to be a fully staffed shift. It took an hour for food to arrive in between courses. Food 3.5/5 Tasted alright, nothing too exciting, the salmon was great actually and the steak could've been cooked a bit better as it was on rarer side versus medium rare. The rice cakes were a nice addition. The gyozas were juicy but the truffle sushi felt like a gimmick in my opinion. Will provably try again another time to see if service has improved or if it is still sluggish.

    Love Queens Harbour so much I've been back twice within two months and already planning my third visit here! They have two main dining areas, a queens harbour and the queens garden. They also have private dining rooms upstairs. They're currently having a holiday themed decor in their Queens Garden section and it's absolutely beautiful with all the hanging christmas trees. For their holiday drinks: - The White Passion (non alcoholic), but added a shot of gin on the side. This was a solid 5/5 for me. Absolutely delicious with tropical and bright flavours. - Ferraro Rocher Espresso Martini 4/5. A tad bit too sweet for me but also very delicious on a twist of the classic espresso martini. Our server was amazing during our stay here for the holiday season. Now onto their main dining room and food, from when I visited them the first time. I sat on their patio during the warmer season and it was such a treat - beautiful, clean, and such a vibe! We then moved into the main dining room for dinner. Here's what we had on their regular menu: Fig & Herb Sour 5/5 - Love anything with a delicious egg white top and this was just that! It was tart, jammy, and aromatic. Truffle Umami Fries 5/5 - Fried to perfection. Black garlic aioli was delicious. Topped with parm. Hamachi Crudo 5/5 - Amazing starter. Refreshing, fresh, and delicious. Oysters 5/5 Kalamari 4/5 - A classic that as great for sharing. Could've been a tad more crispy though. Harbour Salad 5/5 - Perfectly paired salad items of kale, spinach, muscat grapes, pickled onion, pistachio, pomegranate, cheese, and balsamic. The flavours blend seamlessly and so great for sharing! Chimichurri Sea Bass 4/5 - Grilled whole and butterflied. Thought this was good, the chimichurri was a bit too intense for my palette though. Queens Crispy Sushi 5/5 - Crispy rice topped with tuna tartar. Absolute YES! King's Ribeye 4/5 - 14oz. ribeye that came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Delicious, cooked perfectly. Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka 4/5 Matcha Creme Brulee 5/5 Tirami-stachio 5/5 - A pistachio tiramisu. A good change from the traditional espresso ones! Overall, I love this place so much! Food is great and consistent. Service is good. Ambiance is what gets me here, I love that they have a patio in the warmer seasons, their main dining hall and their garden section that is so beautifully lit by the natural lighting during the day. Extra bonus that they're having the holiday decor right now! Worth checking them out!

    Tuna stack
    Sean K.

    Queen's Harbour has been everywhere since it opened, and after visiting, I'd say one thing upfront: don't go without a reservation. Hopefully this gets easier once the initial hype dies down, but for now it feels pretty necessary. The interior really is as stunning as all the influencer content suggests. The ceilings are soaring, tables are nicely spaced out, and there's a good mix of table sizes that makes the space feel polished and intentional. I didn't get a chance to check out the back, but one odd design choice stood out. The bathrooms are located right by the kitchen line, so getting there means weaving through a constant flow of servers picking up and running food. Not ideal. The vibe is high energy and on the louder side, though still manageable for conversation. Service was attentive and polite throughout. At one point, the manager stopped by to acknowledge the tree nut allergy at our table and assured us it was being taken very seriously. It may have been a bit over the top, but honestly, we appreciated the emphasis and care. We ordered the black truffle arancini, tuna stack, miso carbonara, and the Tokyo fried chicken sandwich. Overall, the food was fine but underwhelming for the price point. Nothing really stood out, and several dishes leaned bland, especially the carbonara. The tuna stack was a noticeable step down from the original Cactus Club version, both in flavour and execution. There was also barely anything to eat it with. The lotus chips were sparse, and the holes made them impractical. Wonton chips or even nachos would have been a better choice. I'd give Queen's Harbour another try as they work through their first year, but at the moment it feels like another expensive Toronto restaurant that's more about the vibes than the food. The space is impressive, but the menu still has some catching up to do.

    Decor in the Winter Garden (December)
    Elle G.

    This is quite a large dining venue, which is west of the Harbourfront center on Queens Quay. It's a fairly large restaurant with one large room in the front, another large room in the back with a balcony above it where people can dine as well. This large section in the back currently in December is set up as the Winter Garden. The place is a fairy land of Christmas trees of all kinds of shapes and descriptions and colors. Summer are hanging from the ceiling and some are on the floor. But it's a variable light display and so festive. Food ranges from all kinds of sushi and seafood and then on the land side, it's more focused to Mediterranean or Middle Eastern style of food. Much of it fusion. We decided to try a variety things (mostly appetizers), including whipped ricotta with roasted carrots, lamb and beef kofta, beef Gyoza, fried chicken bites, and Caesar salad. Very good quality food and quite tasty. My favorite thing actually turned out to be the whipped ricotta with roasted carrots. It was delicious. Great ambience and knowledgeable staff. Nice location right on the water. There are parking areas nearby, but you're very close to a streetcar stop right at Rees Street. Put on your festive vibe and go on down!!

    This was my second time visiting Queens Harbour, and again, it did not disappoint! The food is always so on point here. We were seated on the top floor which is decked out in their Winter Garden theme - lots of white decor, lights, and Christmas trees. It was really beautiful and definitely puts you in a Christmas-y mood. I chose to have the steak and sushi and the ferrero espresso martini, and both were great. I thought the ferrero would be too sweet but it was balanced well with the bitterness of the espresso. It was my friend and I's birthday celebration and our server was so kind as to allow us the typical bday dessert (cheesecake) plus our choice off the dessert menu, so we got the matcha creme brulee. The cheesecake was delicious, and while the creme brulee was good it didn't really have much of a matcha taste. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun night out - or during this season, for a cozy Christmas meal!

    I came here with a group from work. The place is huge and was very busy. It was really good we had a reservations. They had a lot of servers but it was a little chaotic. However the ambiance and vibe were really cool. I had the steak and sushi (both of which I love) and it was pretty good. Neither were close to the best I've had but both were quite good. It was a lot of food and I want able to finish. It's a nice place for a group if you're looking for a diverse menu. The interior was super cool too. We all had a nice time and enjoyed our walk to the harbour as well.

    We were having dinner at Queens Harbour tonight. One of the most popular dinner spot in downtown Toronto. Please make sure have the reservation at the White Garden Room. The price is very good consider the portion is large. We ordered the King's Ribeye, and sashimi platter. King's Ribeye is a must order. For $59, you have 14oz ribeye. I wouldn't say it is the best quality but it is good enough for the price. Sashimi is fresh and a good way to start the dinner. Also, I need to shout out to our waiter, he is a very nice guy and offered us complimentary dessert for our celebration! Kudos to him!! One draw down is the lady washroom. It is quite dirty. I highly recommended this spot for dinner gathering.

    White Peach & Yuzu Slush $13
    Sam A.

    I've now been 2 times and the service of each visit was such a contrast, I struggled to give a proper rating. I would say a 3.9 would be fair. My friend and I actually visited on opening day on July 11. We were lucky enough to get bar seating as walk-in guests, though I'm surprised more seats weren't available, as it is an 800 seat facility. I thought more would be left for walk-ins and not all of them would be left for reservations. We came around 5pm and the next available table would have been at 9pm. That's fine because the bar was stunning and comfortable. We didn't feel cramped. We were offered prosecco as we waited to be seated which I thought was lovely. Service was quick enough but I feel that it's quicker, since the bartender is right there to take your order. What we ordered: White peach yuzu slush This was delicious and actually STRONG! So strong I accidentally got drunk haha. Wagyu beef gyoza Delicious. Great flavour, great cook. I could eat these as a meal. Steak frites My first few bites were great but then I noticed the steak was bit chewy. Not overly but noticeable. However, perfect cook, as I asked for medium and not dry at all. My fries were hella cold though. Like they've been sitting for awhile. Black Tiger Fettuccine My friend got this and I didn't try it but he enjoyed it and said they were fair with the amount of seafood. My second visit was not as great. I actually made a reso for the rooftop patio. When I arrived I had to repeat my name 5 times to 3 different people. It was crazy. So many people working but no communication somehow. Despite having a reservation we still had to wait 10 mins for our table which isn't crazy but then we were seated on the ground level??? At this point I didn't care because we waited long enough and we were starving. This is not the restos fault but I thought it was worth mentioning there was a black spider on the couch I was sitting beside lol. We had to get a waiter to come and kill it which he did with no problem. We appreciated that. Our server was super friendly but there were a few kinks which turned my gf and I off. Like we told her we were ready to order food as soon as she came. We started with our drinks and she walked away so fast before we could even tell her our food order. This was annoying cuz that meant it would take even longer for our food to come. Our drinks didn't come with straws, so I had to try and make my way through people sitting at the bar to grab a straw. This time I ordered: Virtuous Sangria Don't get this. It tasted like nothing. Almost like water. Spicy vodka rigatoni This was actually really good and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was $8 extra to add chicken but it was a decent size and hello, I needed the protein lol. I would get this again. I had enough to make an entire meal for the next day. Despite the service being all over the place, I get they're still trying to figure things out. Thankfully the food so far has been bomb. The resto is stunning and I will probably return but not for awhile.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes! Note: Some of my pics of the main dishes didn't turn out so it's mostly desserts that are pictures

Some reviewers complained about the loudness, but, compared to many other downtown locations, Landwers was a medium level of noise, and we were able to converse. It was not excessively busy, but if you are set on eating here, then make a reservation. I finally tried the Sinia Kebab, and it was tremendously good! It was also huge, and I had to take half of it home with me. The focaccia bread is excellent, and serves as a sort of bowl for this deconstructed kebab. My husband had his usual Cobb Salad, which he thinks is particularly well done at Landwer's. Our other dining companion had schnitzel, which came with some angel hair pasta. He enjoyed it very much. Service is, as I said above, "relaxed". If you are planning to see a concert or show afterwards, then plan ample time to allow the relaxed service to unfold (a.k.a this is not fast food!!) We had a 6:00 reservation, and we were able to make our 7:30 concert time with about 10 minutes to spare. The University location is conveniently located near Thompson Hall, the subway, and Union Station (Via Rail and Go).

With four starters and eight mains to choose from (three with supplements), there's plenty of variety, though seafood clearly takes centre stage. I leaned fully into the sea and wasn't disappointed. The salmon tartare was surprisingly, with large chunks of fresh salmon tossed with herbs and finely minced red pepper, giving the dish a bright, meaty freshness. In the dead of winter, that first bite genuinely felt like sunshine - apologies for getting philosophical, but it really hit home. While crostini were scarce, every table receives a basket of freshly grilled bread and a wasteful pour of olive oil. Carb lovers don't worry, there's plenty to scoop up that tartare. The whole dorade royal grilled might sound exotic, but you've likely seen it elsewhere under its more familiar name: sea bream. At Milos, it arrives deboned and finished simply with olive oil, herbs, and capers. That said, if you're squeamish about bones, proceed with caution as the deboning accuracy seems to vary. My plate had only a couple stragglers, while my dining companion's fish had several lingering behind. The dish is simple, clean, and ideal for lunch, so it satisfies without tipping you into post-meal drowsiness. The steamed vegetables were overcooked, though that may appeal to those who prefer their cruciferous vegetables soft rather than crunchy. For anyone who wants to channel a bit of Don Draper energy without returning to work tipsy, Milos' 3oz lunch pours are a great idea. And if you decide to lean in just a little more, they can easily be doubled into a proper glass.

    This is a pretty nice chain for a quick (but massive) bite. I generally visit this location for…read morelunch when I feel like I want to treat myself, and I almost always end up going back to the office with many regrets and an afternoon crush. What I love the most about this place is the speed at which the food is served. This is a well oiled, fast paced, lunch machined capable of churning Shawarmas at incredible speeds. Honestly, I'm impressed every time I visit. Aside from the speed, price also plays a role. I generally settle on the beef and chicken mixed plate, and considering the price I find this combo hard to beat elsewhere. As far as quality goes, the food is great but it is fast food, so don't expect a Michelin-star restaurant. Overall, the quality is comparable to other take out shawarma restaurants you'd find in Toronto.

    Good fast lunch spot in the financial district. This location is well lit, clean, with plenty of…read moreseating. Cafeteria layout for the toppings, from different rices, vegetables, and salad options. There's no bad combination lol. I normally get the chicken shawarma plate. Good portion cut straight from the spit. Not overly seasoned, making it edible as a plate option. Get the hot sauce with the tzatziki. For a Mediterranean chain the food is good, and for the area gets the job done. Would recommend.

    I think it's intended to be slightly elevated middle eastern food compared to a regular shawarma…read moreplace. It's perhaps unfair to judge, because though I enjoyed my steak wrap (and it didn't claim to be shawarma), I didn't enjoy it as much as getting a shawarma at many other places and also spent nearly twice the amount. It was still fairly good however, and the $5 draught beer special was a good deal for sure. I still don't regret getting this ahead of the Raptors game and getting food that would have been even more expensive and nowhere near as good.

    We were passing through Union on a recent weekday and I noticed that Miznon had finally opened. I…read morefigured I should probably try one of their offerings, and a quick perusal of their menu led me directly to the Folded Cheeseburger Pita ("Beef chuck cheeseburger with a golden cheddar crown. In a pita with garlic aioli, sour cream, tomato and pickles.") Who can say no to a concoction like that? Not this guy, that's for sure. It was probably about 15 minutes between the time I ordered and when I got the food, so this is clearly not the place to go if you're in a rush. But I'd say the food was worth the wait. That cheese crust is the obvious star of the show here, while the fresh, soft bread is also quite delicious. The other components are tasty too, but the patty itself is the weakest link. It didn't have any kind of crust and just seemed a little on the bland side. But that's a minor complaint for a rather decadent lunch that I quite enjoyed eating.

Overall the food was fine, but the price is a bit high for what you get. For $13-15, you get a skewer of meat (like chicken, veal, koobideh) which comes with rice and a roasted tomato. Unfortunately, they don't allow you to switch your carbs to a salad, thus forcing you to pay an additional $3, for a salad and yogurt. That works out to be almost $20 with a soda... a bit pricey given this is more of a take-out fast food joint. The food is alright. Pretty average, typical Persian food. The skewers are all quite fresh, tomatoes are BBQ'd fresh. Your rice and meat dishes come with a bit of butter for your to add to your meal too. Also... the amount of rice they give is HYYUUGGGEE. If you're hungry, this is perf for you! Although this place seems mostly to be a takeout joint, they do have a couple tables and some bar chairs available if you'd like to sit in. Credit card is accepted here!
