    Standard breakfast with poached eggs.  Tea and juice
    Elle G.

    Went here for brunch. It's across from St Lawrence market. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great spot for brunch on the weekend in this area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend had the Bennie and I had the standard breakfast. It was a hearty option - eggs, sausage, bacon and peameal with potatoes (which were awesome) plus toast and salad. Definitely a filling option. Go by transit or park in the nearby Green P in the north market.

    My wife's Spanish frittata - she said it was eggcellent.....

    Overall, we were really happy with Corner Place but some tiny missteps took them out of 5 star contention. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was great - nice local restaurant that was busy but not packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated right away and got our first round of waters and coffees. Right away my wife's coffee was cold and clearly had been sitting in the pot for a while. There was some confusion as to if a fresh pot was brewing or if my wife wanted a tea instead. As it turned out, they brought my wife a fresh hot coffee and all was good. We both ordered Caesars for the next round of drinks....... No world of a lie, these were the best Caesars we've ever had. Hands down. They used Tabasco sauce for some heat but there was some finely grated horseradish in them as well that just shot them to the top - best Caesar ever. Period. When the food came I had the Eggs Benny with a side of breakfast sausage while my wife had the Spanish Frittata. In both dishes, there was a ton of food and it wasn't just good. I mean fantastic- we did not expect the food to be this good at such an unassuming place with okay reviews. I would recommend for the food alone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As old people we always hit the restrooms before we head out - there were some cleanliness issues and some plumbing problems that need taking care of for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We let our server know and she said she would advise the manager. Overall, I would recommend this place based on the food and drinks alone. Both were wonderful.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a very cheerful and cozy restaurant and bar right across the street from St. Lawrence Market.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the white fish with rice and french fried onions stacked on top and it was light, crispy, citrusy and delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the server actually recommended the dish. The limoncello spritzer complimented the dish very nicely. The prices seemed a bit high to me, but probably average for the area. I will visit again on my next visit to Toronto, Canada.

    There are all sorts of food. It was pretty good. Not as filling as i thought it would be. Service is nice but also a little bit nonexistent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is nice and has an outdoor and indoor setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was outdoors at night which was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Visited The Corner Place near St. Lawrence Market and loved the summer vibes on their patio. No wait when we arrived, and the service was decent with regular check-ins. Drinks were well-priced for Toronto and quite tasty. We tried the Truffle Fries, which were fantastic--huge portion with lots of sauce and a mild truffle flavor. The Bang Bang Prawns were good too, though a bit chewy and not as large a portion. The Japanese tacos were a highlight--so delicious with a huge chicken slab, making them hard to close, but the flavors and sauces made up for it. A crispier shell would have made them perfect. The Pistachio Ricotta Cake was amazing, combining two of my favorite flavors. I just wish it was bigger hehe Overall, The Corner Place is a great spot for patio dining, and I'm definitely planning to come back!

    Poutine
    Katie M.

    The restaurant was super vibey! We loved it. The poutine was great - the fries were crispy and not super soggy with gravy. We also got martinis which were very good. The wait staff was very friendly too and let us hang out for a bit while the kitchen was turning over from brunch to dinner.

    Tuna tataki
    Anna J.

    Came here for dinner with a party of 2 on a Saturday evening and I loved it! The servers are very friendly and food comes out relatively quickly. We ordered the tuna tataki tostadas, rosemary and garlic brie, and truffle fries. I was so surprised that the brie dish was an actual whole wheel of baked brie! All were so delicious. The cocktails were great as well. They have a good sized selection of dishes, and I'd go back as there were more things I wanted to try. The bathroom did not have soap which I found very strange and unsanitary, but there was hand sanitizer outside the bathroom door.

    Was roaming around downtown Toronto and wanted a quick break . This place was amazingggggg.. I generally don't give 5/5 but this one deserves it . I think the bartender Mr Axel (I hope i spelt it right) was very friendly and super good service .. cowbell brewary beer was just out of the world .. will strongly recommend this for all Hazy IPA lovers ... food was good too. Wings wasn't spicy but tasted ok. Wish they had more spicy sauces for wings . Everything was sweet. Still this place deserves 5 stars because of customer service . Parking is crazy in downtown . We left our car in paid parking lot .. overall a very good experience...

    In past years I've noticed The Corner Place's cute patio, and decided to finally give it a try this weekend. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday, and were able to get seats immediately. We ordered the JFC taco, tuna tataki, and butter chicken. All the food tasted pretty solid (but not first-rate). I think the butter chicken was my favourite. Service was prompt even though the patio was quite busy. Definitely a great place to grab a bite / drinks, as the ambience is lovely with fairy lights and big trees. Finally summer in the city!

    I've been to this establishment I'm the past but only for dinks. Last night I stopped to get a bite to eat to bring home, and I don't like the feeling of being ripped off:/ My greeter was a sweetheart. The server, served me. I ordered my favourite drink there, The Pink Lemonade. My food came, I paid AND tipped and then I went home. I ordered the following: 1. $16.99 : Impossible Veggie Burger with a salad 2. Prawns : $ view my receipt and you tell me 3. $ 16.00 : Pink Lemonade 4. $ 5.00 : Tip My bill came up to $59.22 Pls do the math. I purposely left the price for the Prawns out as I'm so embarrassed I got swindled. I was yelling and screaming to the food and myself when I opened up the container with the Prawns. The video will explain. I got 2 full handfuls of salad, a burger, and enough shrimp to feed my 2 yr old niece. I wonder if I had ordered my food to stay if they would of had the audacity to serve me that with a straight face? I could of taken that same $ and bought a bag of jumbo shrimp. Moral of the story #lessonlearned I gave 1 star for my greeter 1 star for my burger 1 star fir my drink But truthfully they deserve less than that

    Karage chicken tacos
    Dianna C.

    Came here for lunch...it's a pretty small place, so probably a good idea to make reservations if you have a large group. I tried the chicken tacos. Portion was big!! Kind of difficult to eat as a taco since the chicken was so large...it was kind of greasy. They used dark meat which was alright. Perhaps too much batter, but the karage sauce was tasty!! Overall a solid place to visit. Though I prefer the St Lawrence market for quality of food.

    Prime Rib Burger and Pink Lemonade
    Michelle N.

    It wasn't busy when I went, so we were quickly sat down. The food is good, but I do think it's a bit pricey for the quality. The restaurant itself is giving a rustic vibe. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch.

I had a solo meal and asked the waitress for help and I loved how helpful she was. Richmond Station is well liked because of their hospitality, tip included structure, and fresh ingredients. I opted for the beef tartare as my app and the station burger. These were both amazing! The beef tartare came with a little bit of shaved veggies and a side of russet potatoes. The station burger was the best burger of my life. I had originally wanted to order the duck, but knew at my first bite exactly why Richmond Station is so popular. The burger came medium rare and was pasture raised beef with aged cheddar and chutney. The fries were a tiny bit burnt but still good, and the aioli it came with was great. Yum!

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and chose the tasting menu. To start, we were served a small bite of salmon tartare, which was quite flavorful. The scallop appetizer was refreshing, while the asparagus course felt a little underwhelming as a standalone dish. The two main courses were the highlights. The wild Quebec bass was fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Although it came with a butter-based sauce, it wasn't heavy at all and paired perfectly with the bread. For dessert, the first one was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ice cream was quite tasty. The six-course tasting menu was just the right amount for the two of us, although it might be a little small for bigger appetites.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!

It's also been a reliable spot to be able to book tables for large groups. However, they have poor problem resolution if there are any issues that arise. Their food is all pretty good and drinks are fairly priced. Their staff are what I would call elusive and very no frills--beyond your first order, they're a bit hard to flag down to order additional items, settle bills, or otherwise. We had an incident where my friend ordered an alcohol-free beer, but when received, they had a sip and suspected it had alcohol in it because it tasted like the regular alcoholic version. We asked the staff to confirm if the drink they poured was actually alcoholic beer on tap, or if it was an emptied can of the alcohol-free beer. The staff came back and apologized, saying it was the alcoholic beer and poured from the tap but the order placed was indeed the alcohol-free beer. My friend then requested to have the can for the alcohol-free beer instead of poured in a glass to be safe, because she was pregnant. The staff then realized the gravity of the issue and went to get the can, saying we can keep the other glass. A few minutes later, someone who I presume to be a manager came over to say she had clarified the situation again and that it was actually NOT the alcoholic beer--which at this point we weren't inclined to trust. The manager did not apologize, but instead said that a bit of alcohol is okay when you're pregnant... We didn't say anything or raise a fuss, just smiled awkwardly. We left not too long after, and we were charged for the mistaken beer as well. This experience put a bit of damper on going to this place, as it was a frequent spot we visited for decent happy hour specials. However it's evident that staff do not know how to handle special circumstances, nor do they seem to have high EQ. If you are a person with no dietary needs, no wheelchair or crutches (because it's cramped as hell and the washrooms are located on the 2nd floor), not pregnant, and no allergies, then this place is probably fine. But if you have any of the above, then you should skip it in case of incident.

But after a long day and an even busier evening, I got back to the hotel famished. My brain was incapable of processing decisions and when I saw how busy this corner of the Sheraton was, I decided this was it. I grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered a drink, and listened to a podcast to wind down. It was exactly what I needed. The drink, Nutty Times, was not only delicious but the presentation was exciting too. The bartender was witty, he advised everyone near us at the bar to whip out our phones, because he was about to put on a show. Check out the video I added! After a while, my anxiety from the day began to wear off and it was time to eat. I asked if I was able to take it up to my room as a to-go order and they said that was no-go.

I ordered the Atlantic salt cod (fried cod balls) and while they were super good, the presentation left me thinking, "I could have totally eaten this in my giant robe in bed."

The Pornstar Martini and the Hot & Bothered were both great and fit the vibe of the place. The space feels polished but still lively, especially around the bar. Definitely the kind of spot that works for a night out, drinks with friends, or a late dinner. If you go, do not skip the spicy vodka rigatoni. I would come back just for that.

My first impression honestly made me wonder if it was really worth all the praise. By the end of the meal, I had my answer. Arugula Caprese Insalata A creative take on a classic Caprese salad. Arugula replaces basil, while a rich Parmesan cream stands in for fresh mozzarella, giving the dish a deeper, more savory profile without losing the freshness of the tomatoes. The balsamic balances the arugula's slight bitterness beautifully, and the juicy tomatoes cut through the richness of the cream. Fried capers add a pleasant burst of Mediterranean saltiness at the end. Simple ingredients, thoughtfully combined. Chicken Scarpariello This was easily the highlight of the meal. The chicken skin was beautifully seasoned and roasted until fragrant. Instead of being overly juicy, the meat was incredibly tender, with a faint blush of pink at the center. The Italian sausage had a firm, satisfying bite and a rich meaty flavor. I rarely describe roasted potatoes as "melt-in-your-mouth," but these truly were. The sauce, made with white wine, onions, peppers, and tomatoes, was so flavorful that I ended up using bread to wipe the plate clean--and still wished there had been more bread. Italian Love Cake A layered dessert of chocolate cake, ricotta cheesecake, and chocolate mousse. Each layer offered a different texture: the mousse was smooth without feeling heavy, the cake slightly dry, and the ricotta layer pleasantly crumbly. The texture was more memorable than the flavor, but it was surprisingly light to finish despite being a chocolate dessert. Tiramisu Although it's priced at $19.50, the portion is generous--about one and a half times the size of a typical tiramisu. The mascarpone was silky, rich, and pleasantly creamy with a touch of sweetness. The ladyfingers were well soaked with espresso and carried a subtle hint of liqueur. It tasted like a textbook tiramisu: everything was executed correctly, even if it wasn't particularly surprising. Many years from now, I may no longer remember the wildfire that day--but I'll probably still remember this chicken.
