We couldnt get a hotel…read moreor anything cause everything was packed or over priced in Niagara and on the way back at 12:01 we got a flat tire on the 31st of August. So we had to call CAA and pay over 200 dollars for the service. So we said its whatever let's go to cheesecake factory to just celebrate our anniversary, and since we think we deserved it we went to the one at yorkdale. We went met a manager named ALEX a blessing in disguise, we ordered our food and cake he told us, "its on us" this guy is a saint and a good person for doing this i appreciate what he did and love that he did that. He didnt have to but he did and I praise him for it he gets more then 5 stars for the person and the customer service he has. Hes a gentleman and a scholar I thank you ALEX your a wonderful human being

I've always wanted to come here and finally had a chance to enjoy the environment and atmosphere…read more First off, we came in a Friday night and it was extremely busy. The wait time before we were seated was 45 minutes. But Boy was it worth it. The menu was full of abundant choices. We ordered 1. Slider burger appetizers 2. Egg rolls sampler appetizer 3. Louisiana chicken pasta 4. Chicken and shrimp gumbo 5. Shrimp tacos The food came in ridiculous large portions Wowza And everything tasted extremely flavourful We all were thoroughly full from all the food The only suggestion I have is to avoid the shrimp tacos. They came kinda soggy. But everything else was wonderful. We will definitely be back to enjoy this establishment as there is a reason they have been there so long An easy recommendation if you are looking for some casual dining of American fusion cuisine.

What an absolute gem! We chose their new location to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were…read moreblown away. The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

This 30-year-old restaurant personifies New Orleans food very well, serving Creole and Cajun…read morecuisine. The dishes were plated well, and the food was fresh and tasted delicious. There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

Found this place randomly while looking for somewhere local that wasn't a chain or super flashy --…read moreand wow, I've been back a few times already. The food here honestly hits. The grilled salmon with veggies was perfectly done -- tender, flavorful, and not drowned in sauce. You can tell they actually care about how things are cooked. The seafood pasta was next-level too -- rich, a bit of heat, and loaded with mussels and shrimp. Even the fried calamari was crispy without being greasy. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, not like something pulled from a freezer. But it's really the vibe that gets me. Chill music, cozy setup, not too loud. It's the kind of place you can pull up with your laptop, have lunch, and just zone out for a bit. Everyone working there's friendly but not over-the-top -- just good energy all around. Feels like a hidden gem -- simple, local, and real. Yorkdale needed a spot like this

We dined on a Saturday afternoon, so business was on the slower side. At first the service was great, however after we were sat the staff seemed to neglect us. Our server was very disorganized, letting us know he'd grab something for us but go and do 4 other things like grabbing drinks/plates for others and then forgetting about us. He touched 4 other tables and chatted with customers in between dropping off the bill and grabbing the moneris machine for us...now the food was fine however portions are very small and it was very expensive. If I were in the area again I wouldn't recommend coming back.

The staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. The food absolutely lived up to the ambiance. The chicken parm was outstanding, and the ricotta with wild honey is a must-order. Don't leave without trying the mushroom fettuccine either--it was phenomenal. If you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, date night, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Public Gardens. It's the kind of place that creates memorable experiences, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Toronto.

Public caesar 4/5 - Loved this before and it's still great a year later! Well dressed and tasty. Fried calamari 3.5/5 - It's good but nothing special. Came with marinara sauce - good for sharing. Pepperoni pizza 5/5 - My favourite on their menu here for sure. Ask for a side of hot honey! Ciao bella rigatoni 3.5/5 - Looks better than it tastes. It's okay. It's cherry tomato, basil, parm, garlic. Your standard vodka pasta. Sausage sugo bianco 2.5/5 - My least favourite item from Public Gardens. It's kind of bland and just okay in taste. Overall, great vibes, standard bar food but still has a hold in my heart for some reason!

The Bowl-Sunrise was a bad choice as it came with many fried potatoes & the chorizo sausage was crumbled and deep fried, I could hardly taste the sausage, though the sunny side up egg was great. The Avocado Lox was a much better choice and the flat white was so so. We ended up paying $63 (tax & service charge inclusive), there are many more comparable choices at this price point.

I don't think it's the best seafood ver but there's something about those biscuits and pins colada's that get me every time. Definitely would recommend for a casual outing and there is lots of parking!
