Fries
Laur A.

Tldr: view was 7/10. Food was 5/10. Price was 3/10. Service was 1/10. We thought you would be able to see the CN tower and downtown toronto way more as we brought guests from the States over but its still hidden behind other buildings. This still didnt ruin our overall experience as we were just excited to have a place with so much natural light. We ordered appetizers to start and got the fries (tasted great and huge portion, had ramen seasoning and served with kewpie mayo) beef dumplings (also great, a little overpriced, sauce to pair was good) and sweet potato fries (small portion, pretty standard, nothing different from your average Swiss Chalet, but overpriced). We tried calling back to server but not once did she nor any other server look at us even after waving our hand for 10 minutes. Mind you, yes the patio area was busy (on a friday afternoon) but there were still about 7 tables seated in the inside area. We ended up having to call a different server after finally audibly raising our voice which gladly served us. We didnt see our original server come to our table for the rest of the night, though she served other tables around us still- didnt even pay attention to us. Then we ordered the chimichurri chicken wings, and two sets of fish tacos. Wings: dry. Tacos: overpriced. We were sharing all of our food and the prices were not friendly to this at all. What we were able to get was mindful of the sharing portions, but their menu has such limited options to begin with. At the end of the meal we wanted to split the bill to accommodate for our large group of 5- the young server (a new one because we couldnt find any of the two from before) gave us attitude and said "I wouldnt know how to split the food" but very rudely. Is that not her job to ask us? We took the bill home under one card and split it up at home. Terrible experience, definitely would not come back. The second star is only there because we did at least get a lot of natural light and had some semi decent food.

Fried Cauliflower

Went here during brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Price Range: Roughly $15-$35 per person Items Ordered: - Braised Pork Belly Bao - Fried Cauliflower - Ginger Mule Food Quality (Menu/Taste/ Portion Size) - 1/5 I was incredibly disappointed by the food. I've heard a lot about this place as a brunch/lunch spot and was expecting more. Everything was okay but not much blew our minds. They tried to do more unique dishes like baos but missed the mark. Their cauliflower dish was their best, and good to share. The value isn't great for the quality you get and the portions are small. They have a wide selection of drinks and I feel like that's the play here if you want to come here for the view. Atmosphere - 5/5 This is the thing to come for. The view is really nice, and it's fun to be on a rooftop patio looking out on the city. Certain areas are covered if you wanted some shade. The vibe is amazing. Service - 3.5/5 The staff is very friendly but the time i went, it was hard to get them to come to our table, not sure if they were understaff. They are really friendly when it comes to choosing seats and good at explaining menu items. Would I go here again? Probably not unless my friends really wanted to go. The view is great but doesn't make up for the food. Might be good for afternoon drinks. Lash's Recommendation - Any of the drinks

Absolutely lovely ambiance and view. The food was slightly pricey but good. They had a live DJ the day we were there, which contributed to the vibe without being overwhelming. Would return, booking in advance to secure an outdoor seat.

Fish Tacos

The indoor dining is aesthetic with the panoramic views and a large skylight. We were seated at the outdoor patio high top seats facing the east side of Broadview Ave (vs the west side). The view was okay, feels a little narrow but it was peaceful during dinner time, as we did not hear much music. A small area of the patio has overhead heaters and a canopy (try to grab these spots on chilly and rainy weather). We mainly ordered apps. The food was just as we expected as bar food and the food arrived quick. The Fried Cauliflower was tasty, altho oily. Food menu was limited and their drinks are on the pricier side. The service was fine and overall this is a nice place for catch ups and dates. From what I read from other reviews seems that this could be a hit or miss experience, depending on quality of food and service, so keep that in mind. Note: given less than 1 day notice in advance, there's a $10 per person cancellation fee booked from OpenTable.

We finally made it to The Rooftop! I'll start off by saying that it was a really nice summer evening so I was expecting there to be a long wait list to get a seat on the outside patio but was pleasantly surprised that the wait turned out to be around 30 mins. Inside was nicely decorated but the patio didn't have the greatest view and a lot more narrow looking than I thought. The service was average. While waiting for a table to become available on the patio I had a mojito at the bar. When our table was finally ready, I went outside to the patio but was greeted 5 mins later with the bartender saying I needed to pay for the mojito right then and there even though I asked him to just put in on my bill with the rest of the drinks/food I was going to order. I guess he really wanted his tip so he said they couldn't do that and I had to pay up front. I was trying to avoid swiping my card more than once unnecessarily so I didn't like that. The menu is VERY LIMITED so there really isn't much to choose from. We ended up ordering the sliders which were really good. We didn't order anything else because everything was really overpriced and I just couldn't justify in my head paying $20 for another basic mojito. I think we probably stayed there for about an hour and then left because we were so hungry and didn't feel like paying an arm and a leg for basic appetizers. If you're menu is going to be overpriced, service better be top notch which it wasn't. I don't think I'd come back here.

This must be the place!…read more Our first trip to Toronto and boy did we have fun. From delicious food to sipping wine, and everything in between, Toronto was a city to explore. Ladybug Wine Bar is a cute but also sophisticated wine bar located on King Street, steps away from shopping and restaurants. We stopped in here on a snowy Sunday before our flight home. They also serve Sunday Brunch. We grabbed a few open seats at the comfy bar. They do not offer wine flights, which made this experience pretty darn expensive but SOOOO worth it. We had such a fun time and the people working were so nice, we honeslty did not want to leave. They were willing to help with our selections. We actually ordered all their Reds by the glass. I know, but there were only about 6 and we had to try them all. I like to say "go big or go home" LOL! We loved almost all except for maybe a few. We ended up also ordering a charcuterie while we sip. And of course I brought a bottle home with me. If you are ever in Toronto, please check out Ladybug wine bar, it is fantastic, you won't want to leave. Cheers!

A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!…read more I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren't too sweet and had the perfect balance. As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy. Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls' brunch or casual date.
