    Patio

    Beautiful space ! Amazing views. Great drinks and good nachos . The staff was nice and even though it was sprinkling a little we were able to enjoy the roof . Would go back .

    Wonderful. Excellent views, excellent service, the food was perfectly good for a rooftop bar. (Basically the only outdoor patio in the Harbourfront.) Would return, and hopefully reserve far enough in advance to snag a table with couches and fire pit.

    Perfect spot for a Friday night catchup with my bestie. Stunning unobstructed view of the CN Tower. We came at 730pm thinking it would be packed but little did we know it was half occupied. We were told since we walked in, the seating limit was only an hour. However, we ended up staying til they close (around 1030pm) and no one kicked us out. Food options were limited and the price was reasonable given the location, so we decided on chips and guac (classic must-order for any catchup sessions) and the octopus tentacles, as well as their limited-time mixed drinks that use Crystal Head Vodka rather than Absolut. Chips & Guac tasted like regular chips & guac that you could order anywhere in the GTA, nothing too special about it. The tentacles... BEAUTIFUL PLATING! Looked like a professional dish you ordered at a fancy restaurant. The tentacles were a little chewy. Overall, definitely would come back again in the near future.

    Had a reservation on a weekend and it was a seamless procedure going in. The elevator traffic took the longest and some of the hotel tenants didn't abide by the social distancing protocol and proper mask wearing. The roof itself is very spacious and well distanced. We didn't go at peak hours but it was still quite busy. There was a wide range of ages, including babies and retirees (perhaps from the hotel clientele as well) so don't expect this to be like other rooftop patios in the downtown core. Food and drinks were average in terms of taste and cost. It was a nice view though as the sun was setting. Plenty of picture opportunities by the CN tower too as many people took advantage of that prior to leaving.

    I was lucky enough to get an invite to a rooftop party at SOCO. On arrival to the Delta hotel, we saw that there is actually a SOCO restaurant as well on the first floor. To get to the rooftop, you go up the elevators to get to the rooftop. It's not from within the restaurant. The rooftop is really open and you have an unobscured view of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and Steamwhistle. Being summer, if there are Jays games, you can here them blow the horn when a home run happens. They were also showing the games on TV when we were there so you can hear the horn go off AND catch the home run on the screens since there's a slight delay. There's one large bar that services the entire rooftop. Most of the tables have umbrellas. The perimeter of the bar area mostly has booths. Our party had a booth in the corner. The cushions are actually kind of annoying on them. They were prone to sliding no matter who was sitting on them. The service was pretty good. I never had to walk over to the bar to get a drink. The hostesses came by pretty frequently. The food was alright. There as a spread of finger foods available. The tiny grilled cheeses hit the spot and they were easy to eat. They had a few different baos with different fillings. There was a vegetarian cauliflower one that looks a lot like it could be fried fish. The chicken one I was told was almost like jerky and extremely dry. The pork belly one however, was really good! The bao itself wasn't great in texture. The edges were a bit hard but the meat was awesome.

    View of CN Tower Sipping Cold Cocktails Enjoying Asian Tapas Live DJ Awesome Patio The Roof at Soco has everything I can dream of for a perfect summer afternoon in Toronto. The food was amazing. Chicken Satay ($14) was moist and has a nice smoky flavour. One of the best in Town! Asian Street Tots ($11) nice Asian twist! I love the nori elements! Papaya Salad ($8) so refreshing! Price point is high but this is Toronto Downtown in a Hotel right next to CN Tower?! Prime location for locals and tourists alike. Staff was amazing! We were well taken care of. I just want to be upfront. I love my experience at The Roof at Soco. It would be a 5 Star experience but the hostess really needs some training/briefing. We were there at 4:30 pm and the place was not busy. For a table for 3, she assigned me to the "worst" possible table in the whole patio, a high top right in front of the open kitchen. No way I was going to sit there during one of the hottest day. When I was shown this table, I immediately requested to be seated somewhere else.

    I love the fact that I can make a reservation here for a large group for patio. The only thing is they dont have online reservation system. Yet even with email, it was good. The appetizers were much better than the restaurant downstair. Overpriced but for the location, convenience, service, the view of cn tower, and reservation, It was good enough for me. It took me like hours and hours to look for a place nearby that can reserve and have a decent patio! Not many places let you reserve a patio for large group.

    Love it here! I was pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait and that we were seated right away. The view is beautiful! You're literally so close to the CN Tower that you don't even have to zoom in for a good picture. The decor is modern, crowd is mature and the music is great. The service we received was also great. When I expressed that I didn't like my mojito, the waitress was understanding and definitely rectified the situation. To eat, I got a roti filled with chickpeas and a side salad with papaya in it, which were both so delicious and presented beautifully! I will say that I wish there was a bit more to the menu as it's very limited (I guess that's pretty common with a lot of patios in Toronto). The atmosphere and ambiance was relaxing enough to sit there comfortably for a couple of hours with good company. I'll definitely be back!

    I can't wait to be the first to write a review of this place. How come there's no review of this place at all.? The waitress told us this place has been here for 3 years and it opens everyday!!! We came here as our first stop of our patio bar hopping thing in Summer. The place is located on the 4th floor of the Delta Hotel. We came at 4:30pm on a long weekend Saturday. The place is very spacious and it is not fully packed. There are a lot of lounge areas and high tables set up. We have got a very friendly reception service. The staff is very nice and helpful. Once we walk in, loud and energetic music is playing. DJ is at the spot...nice! People are having fun playing a giant Jena. Doggies are allowed too. It has a nice 180 degree view overlooking the CN Tower, Roger's Centre... The food menu is more on the Asian fusion side. We ordered spring rolls to snack on. They are crispy and fresh. A kitchen is just located at a corner of this roof top (though I would call it a terrace lol). The dragon fruits sangria is worth to try. It is made very good. However, I suggest the bartender should provide a bigger straw like the bubble tea straw or do not mash the fruit but cut it into cubes to serve. I will come back again for sure:)

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.

I would just skip the steak as there was nothing special, i mean it's not a steakhouse but i'm a little sad. The sides were good. and the pizza was good too. Service was just meh, my server wasn't that very attentive but maybe he was having a hard day. This restaurant is only worth it if you're going for the ambiance, appetizers and drinks.

Ambiance: Stunning from the moment you walk in. Despite the soaring ceilings and two-level layout, the space still feels intimate thanks to the dim, romantic lighting. We loved being seated beside each other rather than across from one another, an option I appreciated compared to the large half-moon booths in the centre of the room. Tables line the perimeter and upper level, while small trees with twinkling lights frame the booths, adding a whimsical, almost magical touch. A window displaying the cuts of steak was a fun and enticing detail. Appetizers & Mains: Every bite impressed. The seafood atop each piece of nigiri was incredibly fresh and buttery, literally melting in your mouth. The lobster mashed potatoes were an indulgent and unforgettable accompaniment to the perfectly tender steaks, which were thoughtfully presented tableside before cooking. Dessert: We saved room (and I'm so glad we did!) My cheesecake arrived beautifully plated with a candle and birthday message, while my boyfriend enjoyed the butter cake. Both were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. Service: Every team member we encountered went above and beyond to make the evening feel special, but a heartfelt shout-out goes to our charming server, Vig. He was attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in ensuring each moment felt intentional and unique. He also shared enticing reasons to return for lunch, happy hour, and weekend brunch (options we had no idea the restaurant offered). Thoughtful Touches: From coat check, a welcome birthday cocktail, a personalized birthday card from the staff, to complimentary bubbly with dessert, every detail was thoughtfully considered. Both of us work in the area and will absolutely be spreading the word with our teams. I left feeling like a very lucky lady after such a memorable birthday celebration. We can't wait to return!

On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.
