    Checked out the Parlour for the Happy Hour recently. It was pretty busy during that time fyi. Candidly did not find the prices at Happy Hour time that great but do recommend the following items - the Pizette, Rib Stack and Wine ($1 per ounce). Great to share up appetizer type foods. Would be great if they added a few of their signature cocktails to the specials! Servers were pleasant and knowledgeable. Ambiance is lively.

    Not a great happy hour. Almost like regular menu. The pizza was great though.. Just a disappointing happy hour. Disappointed that we weren't told that the pizza we ordered wasn't part of this happy hour. By far the most expensive pizza we've eaten in a place like this. If you're looking for a good happy hour with good value for money on drinks and food, you're very limited here at the parlour. The ambiance is great.

    Completely forgot that I had actually visited this place 4 years ago until I opened Yelp... Time has gone by so fast that I don't even remember the places I've been to! Looks like it has been keeping its service quality. Came here for a birthday brunch this time. The Arugula Salad I had was very healthy. The other plates my friends ordered looked yummy too. The Grapefruit Mimosa was good. Nice ambience and service. Really liked the upside-down piano light (see my photo). The server was sweet despite that our bills got a bit messed up in the end. She even helped put together a mini birthday celebration for my friend with bubble guns. Food (quality, presentation) - 4/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 4/5 Ambience (interior, cleanness) - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 4/5

    Had some friends visiting from Vancouver, who wanted to check this place out in Toronto. We were fortunate to be seated right away as we didn't have reservations, and I also didn't realize it on Thursday night to turns into a bit of a supper club. We shared the appetizers and a pizza between the three of us, and it was more than enough food. We stuck to our jalapeño margaritas for the night, and they were delicious!

    Really cute restaurant for a date or a hangout with friends. Starting off, the interior is beautiful but it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. It was a little awkward because someone on the other side of the restaurant was getting bottle service with the whole nine yards (sparklers, music blasting, bubbles) in the middle of their dinner, but to each their own. My friends and I really enjoyed the food, but the portions were SMALL for the price. We also did come during happy hour (until 7 pm everyday I believe) so we enjoyed some margs that were delicious. Kinda took a turn for the worst when an obnoxious loud table sat next to us and screamed for the next 20 minutes we were there until we couldn't stand it anymore and left, but that is beyond the restaurant's control. Service was quick and shout out to our server Serenity for being so attentive!

    Came here to celebrate a special occasion with a large group and got the pizza party menu. It comes with: Caesar salad and arugula Roasted veg, salmon tartare, short ribs Pizza (15 choices!) Dessert The amount of dishes you can order depend on your party size (typically one dish for a table of 4). The food was delicious but comes at a pricier point. It is $55 per person plus tax. Overall the vibes were good and the staff treated us well. They even came out with dessert that included sparklers, strobe lights, and bubbles!

    A great place to go for a night out downtown. We arrived on a Saturday night without a reservation and snagged the last two seats at the bar (sorry to the couple that arrived right after us and was turned away). I would recommend making a reservation and don't do what we do, or you may be disappointed. The space is intimate, cozy and strategically lit by little oil lanterns. There are two dining spaces, each with their own bar and there is another bar winding around the open kitchen (which was kept empty the night we were there). A lovely space to unwind and absorb the Toronto nightlife. We had the Give Me Ten Cocktail and Yaletown Pizza. The Give Me Ten Cocktail was light and tart, making a great starting drink for the night. The Yaletown pizza caught our eye as it is topped by unusual items like Ahi tuna, avocado and jalapenos. The pizza works, as the fresh bright notes of the tuna and avocado matches well with the char of the crust. Definitely not traditional in anyway, but still delicious.

    A great spot on king for happy hour. Tucked in an alley the parlor has a great vibe, with both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a happy hour menu, but the pizza's are half price which makes it completely worth it, because normal price is between $27-$31, and there's a variety to choose from. We went as a group of 3 and we ordered 3 pizza's (2 dirty and 1 fungi) an arugula salad and some short ribs, which was enough for us! The pizza's came out nice and hot and very flavorful. The arugula salad, not over dressed, and the ribs well seasoned. Our server was also very nice. Definitely a go to on King for happy hour.

    Pizza

    Sat at the kitchen bar for some evening drinks and a pizza. Pizza was excellent, tasted fantastic, fresh ingredients and an authentic feel. Drinks were superb too, at a reasonable price for the ambiance. Topped off by attentive service the whole time, would definitely recommend.

    Arugula salad
    Lisa O.

    Food is absolutely delicious here but I'd have to say, it is alittle overpriced for what it is. We got the roasted veggies, the burrata, the swag pizza, and arugula salad. The roasted veggies were very salty compared to all over dishes but I'll forgive it. The burrata was really fresh served with jam with baguette. So damn good. Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets busy fast. Check out @ooi.eats for all food reviews and your next foodie adventure!

    While coming to visit & celebrate the Raptors win I wanted to try a new location. Stumbled across this place on accident but it was a good one. I wanted to do something a little low key & this was the spot for just that. They have music playing but not too loud for you to have a conversation with the person across from you. The bartenders look like they are having a blast & enjoy what they do. Feel free to ask them to surprise you & they will do just that. The entire staff is great, from the security to hostess to bartender. The short ribs are a must have. I ate everything on the plate. They have other items such as pizza of course but I filled myself up on drinks. A must visit when you are in The Toronto area.

    3rd time I've been now and its got better each time (presumably now its more settled) Its a great place with really cool decor, great food and a solid beer/ wine selection (IPAs and Sours win my heart over instantly) For food I've only stuck to pizza here so cant comment on the rest but the Dirty and 5-0 pizzas are my fave - have both. All in 2 large pizzas + 2 wines + 2 beers for 99$ inc tax and 20% tip is nothing to be sniffed at, that's great value for downtown especially King West. PS - don't drop your leftovers on the way home (boo)

    Kids love the word "aura" these days, and when my dad asked me what it means I told him "think Soho…read moreHouse 2010-2014." That confused him more but I like messing with my dad. Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Truly designed for today's busy d-bag to allow them to half listen to their guest over cocktails while they scan the room to see if someone more important has walked in. The food is meh and it feels like this place simply exists for indie film and local television producers to feel like they are a part of some scene. There are 200 better places to eat a short walk from here.

    I would go back again in a heartbeat. This was one of the best meals and experiences of the year…read more The shaved prime rib steak with the dipping au jus plus French onion soup as an appetizer... this was phenomenal. Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option.

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.

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!

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.

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.
