The Good Son is one of those restaurants where you know there will be something for everyone, and it will be decent. Without having a massive menu, they have an excellent range of options, and it was the perfect spot for our dinner with some family friends. Their drink options were great, and some very reasonable happy hour specials. Some of the items we ordered: Pizzas, beef bulgogi, burger, steak, mushrooms and brussels sprouts - honestly, a very decent meal with no notes for the kitchen. What really prompts me to give them 5 starts is the service. It was a busy pre-holiday weekend dinner and although the staff were super busy, they were attentive and very helpful. Someone at our table didn't love the way something was served and our server "fixed" it to their liking without any hesitation, which I really appreciated. 10/10 - would highly recommend for groups. read more

Came here on Saturday with a reservations and seated right away. Because it wasn't busy, we actually got to pick where we wanted to sit, we got a cosy spot near the fireplace that wasn't done. Appreciated the service because the server was very attentive and accommodated my no potatoes ask. We both really enjoyed our meals. I found the portion to be the perfect size for brunch. read more

A great restaurant on Queen west, right by Dovercourt street with a good happy hour menu. I've been a couple times and the food is always delicious. I've tried their pizzas which are chewy and flavourful and their rigatoni pasta which was yummy. The service was friendly and the ambiance was nice. read more

Having dinner here was a great experience; the pizza crust was crispy and delicious, and the beef ribs were very flavorful. Overall, it's a nice restaurant, with an atmosphere that's more appealing than the food. read more

On our monthly ritual of discovering a new place for brunch while our pooch is in for his grooming, came across The Good Son. The restaurant is done quite eclectically, great decor, comfy chairs and inviting. Staff is friendly and welcoming with great suggestions from the menu. We started with a cocktail - Dangerous Love , made very well, with a kick and Ketel one vodka along with Patatas Bravas . For our mains- Roasted peaches and greens salad along with Muana Loa pizza which is their version of the Hawaiian , delicious with great topping and flavourful ! read more

Vibe | Brussels sprouts | salmon Vibe - This place has a really nice vibe for a date or family get-together. There are lots of different kinds of seating - tables, couches, and more. Even though it was pretty crowded when we went on a Friday night, we were still able to have a good conversation because the noise level was surprisingly low. Brussels sprouts - This appetizer is perfect for sharing between 2 to 4 people. It has a crispy texture, bursting with flavor, and is not greasy at all. I highly recommend it! Salmon - I thoroughly enjoyed the 8-ounce salmon fillet served with a side of fresh vegetables. The dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly satisfying. It was a great choice for me as I was hungry but not starving. I would definitely order it again. Pro tip: Make a reservation if you are going Thursday through Saturday night. If you are on a date or want more privacy, ask for a table far away from the front door. read more

Gord and I had supper last evening at The Good Son. Gord had Steak Tartare (Grilled Sourdough, Grainy Dijon, Chives, Pickled Shallots, Confit Garlic Aioli). He said it was good. I had a Carnivora pizza (prosciutto cotto, spicy soppressata, house made sausage and San Marzano tomatoes). I like their pizza but find they are usually too burnt on the bottom. read more

The Good Son is delicious! I had the grilled sourdough, arugula and pear salad, and the mushroom tagliatelle. Everything was great. The service was good and I loved the decor. Definitely worth going to if you're visiting Toronto or live there! read more

We've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally made it here during Winterlicious. The restaurant has a pretty relaxed atmosphere and isn't overly loud, so it was a nice spot to meet a few friends. For appetizers we ordered Brussels Sprouts, which were really tasty though we would have liked a bit of a larger potion. We also got the Grilled Baby Gem, which tasted fine but was too small and only had a few chickpeas sprinkled one it when I had hoped for more. My partner ordered the Mushroom Pappardelle and really enjoyed it. The mushrooms were great and the thick noodles were fun, but it would have been nice if the dish had a protein as well. I ordered the Bulgogi Short Ribs and it was probably the best thing we tried that night. The meat was tender and delicious and I loved every bite. The kimchi fried rice was great and every bite was different thanks to the different sauces spread over the plate. For dessert I got the Gelato and it was just a very plain vanilla gelato with no toppings or anything. My partner got the Panna Cotta and it was much more exciting and flavourful. Overall we were pretty happy with our meal here, but the service was a little on the slow side and some of the dishes felt lacking to us for the price. We might come back but I think we'd probably prefer to try something new. read more

First time at The Good Son! The place had a nice atmosphere and charming decor. As for the food, we went for brunch and ordered the Eggs Royale and the Taiwanese Fried Chicken on Toast. The dishes were delicious but nothing too special. Considering the expensive price tag, the portion size was also smaller than I expected. However, I heard The Good Son is known for their pizza, so that is definitely something I'd still love to try! And though the food took a little while to come out, the service was great. Overall, a good meal + good company = a good time. read more

used to be a fav but the service has gone down way down hill. Slow, a lot of mistakes were made and no items were comped or discounted despite being made wrong resulting in us having to wait even longer when the service had already been slow and honestly non existent. Not even a proper apology. Won't be returning unfortunately read more

I had dinner here with a small group tonight and we all really enjoyed it. The decor has a comfortable, almost homey vibe to it and the service was really warm and friendly. I started with an Old Fashioned cocktail and then shared a few dishes with one of my fellow diners. We had the Jerk Shrimp, the Bulgogi Short Ribs, the Grilled Octopus and the Brussels Sprouts. They were all quite good, but the octopus was a bit tough and chewy so I was somewhat disappointed, considering that was the main reason I chose the restaurant. It's fairly loud in the restaurant, which can make it hard for everyone to hear each other when you have more than 4 people seated together. I don't like for anyone to feel left out of a conversation, so that's a bit of a downside here. I'd love to go back to try some of their wood-grilled pizza as they looked really good! read more

We went here on a Friday without a reservation and they were able to seat us which was really refreshing. It's HUGE instead and has a really neat atmosphere. Really interesting decor like a wall of clocks. Our server was very well versed on the menu and great at being around when we needed. We just went for drinks (but did get the fries which were OUTSTANDING. so I'm curious to go back and try more on the menu. Really eclectic assortment of menu items). I got the Mexican Divorce which I really enjoyed. The glassware was also beautiful. read more

Pleasantly surprised! My wife and I were in the mood for something different. We've been frequenting The Shops at Don Mills for many years and walk by The Good Son every time we're there. We both had pizzas from the menu. We were both impressed with the quality of the pizzas. They were both some of the best wood-burning oven pizzas we've had in Canada. A definite must for gourmet pizza lovers. read more

Highly recommend the pizza here! Amazing crust and toppings. Our server made us his own pizza ‍ there was mushrooms and cheese on and it was delicious. Oysters were good quality, and cleaned well. The creme brûlée was a little too burnt for my liking. Decor is photo friendly! read more

Came to the good son for a drink before heading to the bar so didn't quite get the full dinner experience Atmosphere: totally loved the feeling inside this place, lots of virago decor throughout the restaurant gave me a feeling that this would be a cool spot for a birthday celebration The drink: ordered a basic vodka seven, tasted very good was also offered a higher quality of vodka but decided to keep the regular kettle one. The bar had many different options, if you could think of the drink they can certainly make it. The food: We split a basic Margherita pizza which was very good, the quality of ingredients was extremely high quality. I would love to come back for a full out dinner, very impressed for my first visit. read more

Finally!!! So excited they finally opened a location uptown!! Tastes just as good as I remembered it to be, well I mean the same as the downtown location. The atmosphere is exactly the same too, love the decor. Love the Brussel sprouts! I will say the Brussel sprouts were small but super tasty! The steak tartare was another one of my favorites. Love how they marinate it, tasted delicious. Mains took long to come out. They said the kitchen was busy but the tables weren't full and spotted a staff in the kitchen texting....not to mention a couple that came 2 tables after us got their pizza first. But the place is new so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I like the Mauna Loa pizza cause it's the perfect sweet and savoury pizza. Gotta love Woodfire oven pizzas! The pork cheek meat was super tender and the pineapple added nice sweet taste. Note it is spicy, spicier than I remember it to be. Also tried the mushroom pappardelle. The pasta was ok, tasted good but nothing special. Price is more on the expensive side given its portions but food is delicious. Service was great, my cup of water was always full. Definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more

Came here for brunch over the weekend with a group of 5 friends since other reviews had mentioned the good food. Reservations were made ahead of time and our table was a booth which was nice. A few members of the party were late and we trickled in slowly. From the very beginning we experienced poor customer service. Waiter did not introduce himself nor did he inquire what we wanted to drink. It was like he was giving us attitude and service was just awkward. It felt like he didn't want to serve our table at all. The food was delicious, our party ordered the eggs benny, chicken and waffles, and the french toast. All were delicious. However, the service was lacking. Even though we liked the food it is a shame because customer service is also a huge part of the dining experience. This will be the first and last time I try The Good Son. read more

Had a reservation here on the recommendation of a friend last Saturday night. Loved the decor, which felt warm, sophisticated and inviting. Each of us had a different cocktail, and enjoyed them very much. I had the Lost Loves, which was surprisingly refreshing. For an appetizer we had the Jerk Shrimp. It came on a bed of mango slaw and peanuts; the combination of the grilled spicy flavour of the shrimp and the tanginess of the slaw was amazing. For my main I had the Flat Iron Steak. It was made perfectly medium-rare and was packed with flavour! The sauces provided paired perfectly not only with the steak, but also the French fries. Definitely a great place for a social night out with friends/family to enjoy some high-quality food. read more

Don't be confused by the menu. That is definitely spicy sopressata pizza on one column and Korean beef ribs on the other. Since this was my first time visit and that I wanted to get the most out of it, so I decided to order two entrees. The spicy sopressata pizza came out first and it was awesome. Just the right amount of heat to balance with all the other ingredients. The crust was also just right - airy, charred, and crisp. The Korean beef rib is pretty much "galbi" on top of kimchi fried rice and charred scallions. A nice surprise was also the amount of chili sauce that you get with this dish as it was hidden underneath all of the beef ribs. The service was friendly and attentive. Tyler my waiter made sure to check how things were going. He was even the one who suggested to get the pizza out first and then finish with the ribs. With the cool ambiance, location, service, and an awesome diverse menu, I definitely recommend this place to business travelers like me. Will be back when I get the chance. read more

Went with a group of four so I got to try a few more items :) Fried Brussels/ everyone liked them. Burrata Cheese/ not enough for 4 to share, because it's burrata and everyone wants more. Fish of the day, Sea Bream. Tender and delicious! Paired with a chickpea salad so it was nice and fresh (it was a larger serving, served cold and the taster wanted it warmed up- I liked it cold but thought it could go either way) The BURGER! yes, it's $19. Hands down this is one of Toronto's BEST burgers, it's a tie for first place with Pearl Diver. It's so tasty and cooked to perfection, you cannot go wrong! Even the fries were extra crispy and above par. Pizzas as always delicious!! Cooked perfectly and topped with quality ingredients. We shared the peanut butter chocolate ice cream sandwich (they cut it into 4) it was so yummy! I didn't personally love the creme brûlée (reminded me of mashed up bananas and I didn't think the top was candied enough) YUM! We'll be back. Only downfall, we went on a Thursday night and the volume levels are so loud you can hardly hear the people sitting at your table. read more

I really enjoyed my time at the Good Son. I love the open space, and the decor of this restaurant. It gives off a really relaxing vibe and it is the perfect dinner spot. My friend and I were craving pizza so we came here for the wood over pizza's. We ordered the Spicy Brussels Sprout to start and then got the Prosciutto Pizza and the Capricciosa pizza. The Prosciutto Pizza was my favourite because it had Arugula on it and who doesn't like Prosciutto!!! The Capricciosa Pizza was a little bitter for me because of the Artichokes (but still super tasty). I highly recommend the Spicy Brussels Sprout and the Steak Tartar (even though we didn't get it, I saw other people eating it and they looked very pleased LOL). The staff at the Good Son is friendly and attentive so it makes the entire experience even better. Keep in mind that if you're planning to go for a late dinner you need to make reservations. We went right when it opened (6PM) so we had an hour and a half to eat before all the reservations came in. They also have delicious drinks, happy hour consists of $4 off of every drink. read more

Ordered the manoa loa pizza and was a little disappointed. It was under baked and poorly dressed with there being a lot of crust to topping/cheese ratio.
