    Pitcher

    Amazing views, great DJ. Didn't get the chance to get food because we had dinner reservations for somewhere else, but drinks were great! loved that they had an option for pitchers.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

We ended up sitting at the bar since we were walk-ins. It is also a very low light restaurant, especially at night. so it might not be the best place for older adults or those who are visually impaired. Service was good, however, we were somewhat forgotten at times since we were tucked away in a dark corner. We ended up ordering the Truffle Fries, the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, the Korean Chicken, and the Vodka Pie. The truffle fries were crisp and plentiful. We added sausage to the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, and it was delicious paired with the pizza. The Korean Chicken were bite sized and flavourful as well. However, The vodka Pie haunts me in my dreams. I think I crave this pizza about every week. The pizza at King Taps has one of the best crusts I've ever had, and the vodka sauce is to die for. It's sad to know that this pizza will rotate out, I'd definitely try it before it leaves! I will be back for the Vodka Pie, mark my words!

They always put the leafs game on when they're playing which is Mae's them a reliable game spot. Over the past couple of years I felt their food quality has slowly declined but today was different. Way exceeded my expectations. We started with a corona zero and ranch water (passion fruit flavour) we were both really happy with it. The didn't skimp on the tequila. 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 place SEEMED quiet but shortly thereafter the place got JAMMED! Initially it was slow service but it picked up shortly. We had several different servers so no single server is tagged here. I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

Was very cold with a touch of orange and came with show of a long pour which was fun. They have their own vodka and gin they use. 5 stars - Menu: sweet/dry, light/spirited quadrants mapped out on the front page Also a sketch drawing of the drink so you can see what type of glass you'll get and colorful pictures on the side to set the mood. - Spicy nuts: good yet dusty but bonus for having hazelnuts. 4 stars Midlights: - Can get on waitlist if full and can text you (note: was full even early afternoon on a Saturday) - Wanted to try more food like the beef sandwich or french onion soup but we were in between meals Lowlights: - Took over 30 min to get our first drink after ordering which was odd at a hotel of this caliber. The next ones did not have the same wait time which was good.

    For a very, very long time, I'd been reading about how Library Bar is one of the best cocktail bars…read morein the city. So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.

Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!
