Just sat down!

The best Old Fashioned in the city (made by Brian) and a burger that is so good I can't eat burgers anywhere else anymore... Overall the drinks are just fantastic and I haven't had food I didn't like. If you like the type of atmosphere they have (dark, stuff on the walls, old-timey feel) then you will like it here. If you like places that are bright and simple then this is not your atmosphere. And my water glass was always kept topped which is a must for me at a cocktail place. It helps that this place is local for a friend of mine so there is plenty of reason to visit frequently, but it is also now the place I recommend to anyone who is in Toronto for just a little while and looking for great cocktails.

Came here for the Prime Rib Burgers and Damn it was really good. The quality of the meat and the extra pickles were great. I wouldn't order the chips again as they were soooo salty. The atmosphere is pretty cute, I would definitely have a date there. It's really small and intimate. The service was also pretty good! I'm going back! Keep Eating, Angela

Lovely cocktails, great vibes! The East end continues to impress me. You can't go wrong with any cocktails they have. The drinks were made fairly fast considering how much effort and detail each drink takes. The burger was also very delicious. It's topped with a pickle! Only issue is that we ordered something else on the menu that took way too long, and had to cancel it because we were on the way to a concert.

The Comrade is my favourite lounge in Leslieville! Great beer selections with 2 full pages, for sure you can find something you like! Cocktails from $10 were nicely crafted. My Elderflower Frizz ($10) was well balanced. Staffs were attentive and not being overbearing. I love the different seating options. The armchairs we lounge in feels homey and comfy...... Cheers!

If you don't mind sitting under this, can be a cool vibe

Came here on a Friday night with friends and this place was packed. Which meant service was super slow. Took over 20 minutes to get drinks. Interesting choice of decor with a very mixed crowd. Despite crappy service that night, the cocktails were good and we tried the pork belly and quail egg toast which was delicious. Based on that sampler of food, I'm curious to come back and try some of their other food offerings. Torn between returning to try more food but facing the possibility of poor service.

Their new bar menu is visually and gastronomically beautiful.

See all

Great hip place for happy hour or an intimate date setting. The cocktails are well made and the burger is out of this world!

The ambience is lovely and the seating is exceptionally comfortable--perfect for winding down after a day in the city. Since it's in the hotel, billing is a breeze as you can just charge it to your room. While the food was decent, I did find it a bit pricey for the portion sizes/quality. The staff are very friendly, though the service was a little on the slower side. A solid, easy choice for hotel guests, but perhaps not a 'destination' restaurant on its own.

We were in downtown Toronto one afternoon, and did NOT want to dive into rush hour traffic, so we…read moredecided to have an early dinner at Dia Restaurant & Lounge. I've always enjoyed the elegant and modern decors of the cafe on the 1st floor, and Dia Restaurant was just as nice! We made a reservation on OpenTable, and was seating right away when we arrived. We had a cozy booth in the corner with a nice view of the restaurant. Our server was friendly and welcoming :) and the manager also came by to check in on us during our meal. Our server recommended the Mushroom Garganelli, and it was SO creamy good. My partner had the Caribbean Salmon, and she really enjoyed it too, especially that coconutty jasmine rice on the side! The fried pickles with the sweet and chili sauce was yummy too! Overall, a really great experience! I would definitely recommend this spot to my friends and family :)

BarChef has been on my radar for a long time -- definitely one of those well-known cocktail spots…read morein Toronto. Every time I come here, I still think about a drink that's no longer on the menu. I've tried showing them photos and asking if they could recreate it, but it never quite tastes the same. I guess every bartender has their own way of balancing flavors. The cocktails here are beautifully presented. Out of the ones we tried, I liked the one served on the large round plate the most -- both visually and in taste. This time, I also tried the colorful cocktail with cotton candy that everyone talks about. Some people say it tastes amazing, others say it reminds them of soap. Personally, I didn't get that "soapy" taste, but it was definitely on the sweeter side. If you only order that one, it might feel a bit overwhelming. It's very pretty, though -- I found myself alternating sips with other drinks to balance it out. Everyone's taste is different, but I personally prefer cocktails that are more refreshing, slightly sweet with a bit of acidity. The ambiance is great -- dim, stylish, and perfect for photos. It's a fun place to visit, especially if you're looking for creative drinks and a unique atmosphere.

This place is always such a good time. The drinks are sooooo good. Even the standard drinks are…read moreexceptionally well done. The food is not bad either. The vibe is very unique almost remind me of snapes closet or classroom from Harry Potter . The service has also always been prompt and good.
