I tried the Tick Tock with passion fruit, vodka, spiced jasmine, lemon, vanilla. It was very pleasant but wasn't too passion fruity. I guess my love of passion fruit is just too strong. It felt like drinking sparkling wine with lemon juice. We came around 430 on a Thursday so maybe it was busy but we put our drink order in and 20 minutes later still had nothing. We had to ask if he thought it might be soon. He then confirmed the order and we had them 5 minutes later. So glad it all came together but it wasn't the smoothest experience.

Matcha martini was one of the best martinis I've ever had. Would go back just for these (albeit it…read morewas more than half ice) although the chocolate orange dessert was incredible too. The bit of raspberry puree tied it all together. Overall vibe is absolutely incredible for a hotel lobby bar. Not quite what I expected from the fairmont but by no means am I unimpressed. Truffle fries were ok, the bartender forgot our order but did her best to make up for it. We left very happy!!

I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option. All in all top tier experience start to finish.

This cocktail bar inside Fairmont Royal York Hotel has a nice classy ambiance. It feels like…read morestepping into a movie set, with the iconic clock tower. They decorate the lobby, bar area, and the whole main floor with Christmas decorations during the holiday season, including the giant Christmas tree in the lobby (complete with its own lighting ceremony and live music performance). Good selection of drinks and great customer service. Fun facts: The Royal York Hotel opened in 1929. It hosted royalty, heads of state, and golden-age Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock when they were in town filming or staying upstairs in the hotel. Stepping inside is like time-traveling back decades, with velvet seating, brass accents, and dark, moody lighting. As soon as you walk into the Library Bar, the real centerpiece that grabs your attention is the massive oil portrait above the fireplace. That dignified gentleman watching you sip your drink is George Locke, the very first chief librarian of the Toronto Public Library. I love that a librarian is the patron saint of this bar! The drinks here aren't just cocktails; they're chapters in a story. The current menu, titled "Ink & Alchemy," is actually inspired by Michael Ondaatje's famous novel In the Skin of a Lion. Created by their award-winning mixologist James Grant, the menu is a tribute to the people who built this city: the immigrants, bridge-builders, thieves, and dreamers. You aren't just sipping a martini; you're drinking a liquid homage to Toronto's history.

We arrived around 4:15 pm at which time it was fairly barren inside and a 2-piece band (singer/guitarist and pianist) were performing. As there were only 2 musicians and the lady was playing an acoustic guitar, the music wasn't too loud so my friends and I could converse comfortably. My friends and I ordered drinks only and I chose to have 1/2 pint of Spearhead's Hawaiian Style Pale Ale which is one of my favourite beers. It was only $5 (+ tax & tip) which was a good deal.

The bar price range is on the pricey side being inside Four Seasons Hotel. The bartenders are quick and attentive, you're not waiting for too long considering there were quite a few people there. There was a DJ for some music more on the classic MJ and rock which I did enjoy. There are seats as well if you want to be seated and some bar food on the upscale side.

The service is genuine. I haven't been disappointed in any visit. The views and outdoor seating are particularly nice in the summer and this is the only nice rooftop in the area. Check it out!

On the positive side, the hash browns were excellent: perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and nicely designed with comfortable seating. Service was a highlight -- our server was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, the experience was good thanks to the atmosphere and service, but the food didn't really stand out for me, so I don't think I'd return specifically for the brunch.

I would just skip the steak as there was nothing special, i mean it's not a steakhouse but i'm a little sad. The sides were good. and the pizza was good too.
