SOCO burger with crispy kale
Janice Y.

Given they are well known for their seasonal rooftop patio, it's not too busy here during December weekend evening. The food we had was surprisingly good, despite the moderate rating. The big plus is that it pleased a picky eating kid in my group. I ordered the SOCO brisket burger and it was decked out and delicious and part of the proceeds from the burger goes to charity, which was a nice touch. One of us had it with the fries and it was crispy and good. Crispy kale is also an alternative option if you want a healthier touch like I did. I also tried some of their pear and prosciutto and pepperoni pizza, which was fantastic. The pepperoni pizza had this honey glaze on top, which was tasty and my picky little cousin enjoyed it. The salmon my SO ordered was also cooked really well. I didn't get to try the pasta but another person in my group had it and didn't have any complaints. Overall a great choice when you're near the attractions hub by the Harbourfront/Entertainment District.

Very tired as we tried desperately to find a place to eat at after arriving into Toronto. We dined on the patio which was nice. The chairs were kind of hard but okay. I had the Caesar Salad with yummy bacon and a tasty dressing. It was good. I was very hungry and ate every morsel. It was very expensive as this restaurant is attached to a hotel. I paid more than I wanted. All good. Service was good. Our server was cordial. The prices seem higher since we are in Canada. I forgot that the prices are Canadian on menus.

The food came out fresh and our waiter Ryan assisted us quickly. It was semi empty inside and you were able to have a conversation. The restaurant is connected to Delta hotel and the restroom was very clean. The food was tasty and I wish some of their lunch menu items was offered for

Egg Benedict

This place is located in the center of the city, close to the waterfront. While other restaurants all have a wait in the area this one does not Went for Saturday brunch and got sat on the lovely patio. It's got lovely landscape and flower, and big umbrellas. Service was kind. However, food was really mediocre and overpriced. The sausages in the shashuka was great, but I really didn't like the egg Benedict (low quality smoked salmon) and the overly simple tomato salad that lacks flavor My iced latte was also not very good

Half Caesar salad

We came here for brunch one day while at a conference in the convention center (this place is very convenient for that). I just got some mimosas which were standard, but my 2 friends both got the shakshouka and one also got a side Caesar salad, which they said were all tasty. Our waiter was sort of.. dismissive(?) but not exactly rude I guess. And the space is really nice with large windows and natural light.

Mac and cheese

Soco is perfectly fine. Standard hotel restaurant vibe. Friendly staff. Decent menu. Soco burger and spicy tuna crispy rice have been go-to's for me.

Came here for lunch while in Toronto and close by to the hotel where friends and I were staying for the week. Very nice inside and staff and service were good. Comfy cushioned seats. The restaurant is part of the Delta Hotel. Lunch menu had a god number of choices especially any bites and pizza to share. there is a full bar and plenty of coctail options. Happy or shall I say Social Hour every day = check for their hours. TV at the bar to watch sports games live. For lunch, shared margherita pizza, small mac n cheese, meatballs, sweet potato fries (yum)! Will have to come back to try dinner here next time.

breakfast menu at this place is great! However, I tried the brunch menu, which was still good, just a little more limited. I got the chicken and waffles, which were really flavourful and a really good combination of the crunchy chicken and warm waffle. I really enjoyed the food but wish there was a large menu for brunch

This is the restaurant on main floor by the Delta Hotel where I stayed in my 1 week vacation in Toronto. Big and very clean restaurant,they serve b fast,lunch,snacks and dinner,I never tried the dinner mostly breakfast. Good food in here,nice breakfast choices,when you are touring around breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Reasonable price and since i was checked in this hotel the resto is very accessible. Service is always excellent,they does their job interme of screening clients with vaccines and stuff. Busy place(everyday I see line up in here) Accept cash,credit and debit. Interior designs are contemporary,noise level is average. Wifi is free courtesy of my room in the hotel,havent tried the restaurant wifi. Washroom is immaculately clean.Large monitor TV available airing games. Everything is good except their bacon...kinda over cooked for me.

Great service and great foods. The foods are beautifully decorated. I forgot to take pictures of the other dishes.

Small menu for dinner. Convenient as you don't have to leave the hotel if you're staying at the hotel. For appetizers we had the wings. I forgot what I wanted to order but they were all out. But the wings were good. For dinner, I had the "Mac" and cheese with shrimp. It did not disappoint!

We started with the Brussels sprouts which is always a great choice from here. Crispy on the outside and not an overwhelming Brussels sprout taste. This is likely because there is a generous sprinkling of grated parm and a great amount of dip. We tried the crispy tuna sushi. The tuna was beautifully marinated, so flavourful. And the sushi was nice and crispy. The vodka pie was a seasonal item and when we saw it listed, we knew we needed to try it. The sauce- amazing, the press was nice and flaky and light and really tasty. And the soccer Sada added nice saltines and flavour without being too overwhelming. For happy hour, the apps and pizzas were $5 off, and the ranch water was $5. I'd come back for the pizza alone! Jeans was our waitress and she was great!

The my wife had the avocado bowl with salmon and I had the mushroom striploin. Both meals just freaking delicious- these folks have it down to a science and the food was off the charts. Some people may disagree because it's a chain restaurant but when they hit on all cylinders, which they have every time we've been there, it's awesome. Cactus Club - highly highly recommended.

The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe.

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.

Their bar and lounge is located in the lobby of the hotel so it could get a little noisy, but the lounge is a separate area up a small set of stairs and is a little quieter and more intimate. They started us off with glasses of champagne (yum)!! We ordered the French onion soup with was delicious w generous amount of melted cheese , soft bread, soft onions, and crispy onion bits! Very good For mains I got the truffle gnocchi. Omg the truffle cream sauce was sooooo good. Much better than all the other Italian places in Toronto! It was rich, creamy and full of truffle flavor. The gnocchi could have been softer but the sauce and shaved truffle was perfect. I also got a side steak which was grilled to perfection and had a wonderful herb crust and deep flavor. It came with some nice light micro greens. We also got the one burger with their signature logo on the bun. It came out piping hot with fresh crunchy veggies and crispy well seasoned fries.

The drinks and the food were very average, not too strong at all when it came to the drinks, and the food wasn't out of this world but good. The presentation for both the food and the drinks was pretty nice. Location: The location was directly within the entrance of the hotel, which made it very convenient for us to grab something to eat, especially the first night since we got here a little late. You can lounge in this location, and some people are dressed up, but some people are casual who are also within this hotel. I'm not sure about parking on the regular since we did parking through the hotel as well. Service: The biggest reason as to why I gave it a three-star is because one of the bartenders was very unfriendly, and to be honest, it could have been because it was nighttime, but it really threw us off because you hear how nice Canadians are, and to be honest, the majority of the places that we went to afterward were exactly what people say and how nice they were except for this location. One of the bartenders was a guy, and he was just very straightforward, did not smile at us, and honestly, when I asked certain questions about the menu, he responded with comments as if I should know what the menu means. I just didn't like his attitude at all, and it really threw me off, but because we had a voucher through the hotel, it's the only reason why we gave it a go for the first night and didn't end up going back the remainder of the time that we were there.

Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.

We came strictly for cake as we had eaten right before, but we took a peek at the winterlicious menu, and the prices looked super affordable! We ordered the cake and yes, it maybe just be a tall slice of cake, but it was moist and decadent and probably my favourite cake. Overall, if you are a chocolate cake fanatic, this is the place to go!

On the evening of my visit, the two behind the bar moved with a remarkable synchrony -- finishing each other's thoughts, trading warmth and wit in equal measure, drawing guests effortlessly into the orbit of their easy rapport.
