    Winterlicious 2016 | Beef tartar with quail egg on top
    Shirley T.

    My boyfriend and I have dined here multiple times due to its excellent service and atmosphere, we always return every year. Our first encounter was for Summerlicious where the portions of food are definitely larger than any other restaurants I've been to for Summerlicious. We have tried the food on their regular menu and the portions are even greater and just as delicious! We tried their Summerlicious menu again this year and it did not disappoint. The presentation, taste and service were all amazing. The Grilled Calamari is always cooked to perfection, not too tough. This year, I ordered the Grilled Sous-vide Veal Chop - a very generous portion and it was so tender and moist. For dessert, my boyfriend absolutely loves their Scandinavia Vanilla Bourbon Crème Bruleé which is super creamy with the harden sugary coat on top.

    Catch of the day

    Most disappointing "licious" I've ever had. So not worth $53. Foie gras parfait was not a parfait.. just call it what it is... PATE Seafood saffron... $53 for seafood soup.. tastes like campbell vegi soup Chicken was bland and sauce was too salty. Menu stated there was foie gras included, turns out it was just the same pate they used for the parfait... you can buy that stuff for like $7 at the grocery store. Only redeeming factor was the filet mignon. Takes 20 minutes to serve each dish...after we've already finished eating the dish...also another 20 min to just pay our bill, which they split incorrectly. (The other couple ordered 2 bellinis, they tried to tack one on my bill) Cheese cake - though it was tasty, too much sauce ruined the crust. Creme brulee was passable Profiteroles mediocre Sorbet is okay could be a bit sweeter/intense Overall i would not recommend for summerlicious, it was barely even worth the lowest price point of summerlicious let alone $53 a person

    Went during summerlicous. Great menu selection! Good vibe and great food! - I had salmon to start, beautiful presentation and texture. And the seafood linguine dish was full of flavour, thoroughly enjoyed! I'm not much of a dessert person but the creme brûlée was seriously to die for!! The chef really knows his s***. Now the negatives: waiter was clearly having a rough night, he was nice and all but kinda soured the moment with his negativity. Also I'm obsessed with Ceasar's and their drink lacked presentation and flavour! Overall I was very impressed and will definitely be back, highly recommend.

I think it's also a cafe during the day. They had a live DJ playing some Berlin type music not too loud which was a nice touch. There is some seating space in front of the patio, and next to the building to hang out. Tall beer cans and cocktails are 7-8 bucks which is a good deal. They have some non-alcoholic beers too which is nice. Inside has that cool vintage hipster Berlin feel to it. No cover, no lineups, just a nice local neighbourhood bar near the bridge and a bunch of other autoshops. Was walking back from an art gallery and we just literally stumbled upon it and sat down for a catch up drink. I feel like Toronto needs more places like this. Quiet neighborhood bars with a nice selection of music, quality cocktails, not too expensive, no lines ups. Nice slightly mature place for people to catch up and have a drink without having to venture heavily into the Dundas West bar scene where it's way more hectic. Probably fits like 20 people so it's nice and intimate. Kind of reminds me of some of the bottle shops in Montreal where you can either drink it there and vibe or take it to the park right next to it. Place has some character to it. Would like to see it have a good solid run in Toronto's independent bar scene and be supported by the neighborhood. Next time I'm back I'll try out the cocktail menu and see if that's fire too. Can selection was interesting. I got a fruit punch vodka seltzer with 2 grams of sugar which was good. LBGTQ+ friendly but open to anybody really. Still has that cool Dundas West OG grunge premium dive bar feel all the hipsters like me enjoy. Keep up the great work Tommy!

This bottle shop has a unique variety of natural, organic, and biodynamic wines that may rotate depending on the season. The space also has a wine bar where you can try different wines by the glass or treat yourself in a wine flight or a whole bottle. The by the glass menu changes weekly where you get to have a chance to try new and exciting wines from different regions. I've been to Grape Witches several times but I was able to sit down at their wine bar this time and enjoy a wine flight (three 1oz pours featuring wines from Germany) and a glass of wine. Having the wine flight, I was able to find a new rose that I really enjoyed that I ended up getting a glass of it afterwards. Staff are extremely friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about wine where they can give you suggestions based on your preferences without being pretentious. You are also able to taste any wines you're interested in on the menu to see if you like them as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Grape Witches enjoying the delicious selections where I even found new favourites. Overall, a great new wine shop and bar at Waterworks Food Hall. If you love all things wine this is the place to go. They have unique bottles you can purchase and friendly staff to help you with selecting your wines. Will definitely be back to try other glasses of wine in the future!

The flavour was very light for fried chicken. Side kimchi was light, firmer & crisper than usual. Side pickled daikon was very fresh so there was very little pickled flavour. The tamarind sauce was very light, somehow distilling the essence of tamarind into a very pure, light sauce which didn't go with the chicken. Ube custard tart was itself very good with a rich, crumbly crumb & tasty ube stuffing (I wouldn't call it 'custard' though). The honey ice cream was so so though: very light in both taste & texture (it wasn't creamy).

"A ritual centered around gathering over small bites and pre-meal drinks," is how they describe themselves. I discovered them on their 1-year anniversary. Live jazz music from a 3-piece band greeted me upon arrival. The bartenders were warm and congenial, and welcomed me with a celebratory glass of Moet in honor of the occasion. I ordered a perfectly chilled gin martini with olives. Expertly mixed and perfectly poured, the lead bartender (MJ) surprised me halfway through my drink when he swapped my glass for a fresh ice-cold replacement. Truly top notch, I've never experienced this before. The small bites included freshly-baked focaccia served with imported Italian olive oil, thinly sliced prosciutto (sliced in house) & Castelvetrano olives. The Ubriaco al Prosecco from Veneto & Manchego from Spain were standouts. Finally, my Negroni nightcap was superbly bitter and expertly balanced. I loved my experience so much, I returned the next night and discovered another live jazz band warming up when I entered. I ended up losing track of time amidst the good energy and superb cocktails. It genuinely felt like I was back in Italy. Tell all your friends, Bar Niro is the local Italian home away from home. I cannot wait to return with friends & family!

The combination of the peach and mint went really well with the burrata. Light and easy to eat. The patio at night is one of the highlights. The only small complaint was it did take a while to get our wine after we ordered it and a little while to get our check. Otherwise cute spot.

The location was ideal for theatre-goers, as it was right across from the TIFF building and a stone's throw away from a lot of theatres in the area. The interior was spacious and modern, with a lot of tables and seatings extending to the back of the restaurant. It was quite empty when we went on a weekend afternoon, so service was prompt. The food was excellent!! They put creative spins on classic Thai dishes that turned out very well. Review of the dishes: 1) Raw Oysters (fresh raw BC oysters with roasted chili jam, fried shallots, and house nam jim seafood sauce) - They were like raw oysters in typical Western seafood restaurants, but with a Thai twist. "House Nam Jim Seafood" is a Thai dipping sauce commonly used for steamed or grilled seafood, made of garlic, chilies, lime juice, fish sauce, and cilantro. This sauce, in addition to the roasted chili jam, created a mouthful burst of flavour when the oyster was eaten in one go. The roasted chili jam created a heat effect in the throat, which made it warming. The fried shallots added a nice crunch, in contrast to the smooth raw oyster. This was definitely a unique spin to the plain raw oysters. 2) Larb Crispy Brussels Sprouts (fried Brussels sprouts with lemongrass, cilantro, lime juice, chili flakes, toasted rice powder, fried shallots, and coriander) - I was excited to see a vegetarian version of larb on the menu! Larb is a Lao dish typically made with minced meat, fresh herbs, lime juice, fish sauce, and toasted ground rice. Instead of using meat, they subbed it with crispy Brussels sprouts. I liked the crunch of the Brussels sprouts, but found the dish to be too salty. 3) Eggplant Salad (fried eggplant with black tiger prawns, mint, shallots, Thai chili-garlic lime dressing, and sliced medium soft-boiled egg) - This reminded me of the Filipino dish of tortang talong, except the egg was served on the side instead of being pan-fried and coating the eggplant. The eggplant in this dish was fried and quite sweet & spicy, which I didn't really like. I liked the pieces of black tiger prawns, shallots, and sliced medium soft-boiled egg surrounding it though. The egg especially was perfectly soft with a bit of a gooey egg yolk. What surprised me was the presence of pomegranates in the Eggplant Salad. I always see pomegranates as a common ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, but never in Thai dishes. It was a pleasant surprise, and it showed that the creative fusion of Thai, Filipino, and Middle Eastern / Mediterranean elements and ingredients worked well here. 4) SS Egg Fried Rice (jasmine riceberry stir-fried with eggs, green onion, and garlic) + jumbo lump crab meat add-on - This was the dish that made me come to Same Same, and it did not disappoint! I thought the fried rice tasted unique compared to the fried rice I've had at other Thai and Chinese restaurants. It had a strong wok-char look and flavour, and they used jasmine riceberry, which made it taste more chewy and nutty. They did not skimp on the jumbo lump crab meat, and there were "jumbo" pieces of real crab. It seems rare to get real crab (and a lot of it) in fried rice in Thai and Chinese restaurants, so this fried rice was a winner for me. 5) SS Pad Thai (fresh rice noodles, tofu, eggs, peanuts, tamarind, chives, bean sprouts, banana blossom, lime) + black tiger prawns add-on - The tofu and bean sprouts were the stars in this dish. Although the black tiger prawns that we chose as an add-on were really big, for some reason I really liked the tofu in this pad thai more (more flavourful). They used fresh instead of dry rice noodles, which we could tell because the noodles clumped together quickly as soon as it cooled down. 6) Wok Vegetables (stir-fried yu choy sum and green beans) - As simple as this "side dish" was, this was my favourite. We asked for it to be cooked without any sauce because that's how I like my veggies (not a fan of vegetables doused in so much oyster sauce / any thick sauce). They were able to accommodate our customization request, and the dish came out perfect. The green veggies (yu choy sum and green beans) were also still quite crisp and not overcooked, which earned them extra points.

    Was so excited to try Same Same and their Samemer-delicious menu for July!…read more Came today with my plus one and we ordered: Appetizers: - deep fried wingette with ma kwen jeaw sauce: I felt the sauce was a bit too sour and salty yet addicting! I kept coming back to it. It came with 10 wings and it was deep fried really nicely, didn't feel too oily. - shrimp toast: house made brioche with cucumber relish and added the peanut sauce espuma. I love bread at baseline and this brioche was so nice and crispy. The cucumber relish was refreshing and slightly sweet. Mains - same same pad thai (vegetarian): now that I'm reading the menu it looks like they use fresh rice noodle but I found that the noodles were SUPER chewy, more chewy than other thai places I had. I appreciate the freshness of the noodles but would also liked if it were a bit easier to chew. Would also have liked if there was more veg in the meal. - ngowpochana chicken cashew: this came with crispy chicken thigh stir fried with (really SPICY) dried chilis and cashew nuts with a side of mixed purple? rice. The rice was tasty and the chicken was really crispy! Came out in small pieces and it was good but was not blown away. Desserts - mango sticky rice: so so good, love how they put butterfly pea in the sticky rice. Mango was ripe and soft, coconut cream was strong, and the jasmine riceberry puff added a great crunch to the dessert. - pandanas kaya toasted brioche: I would return for this dessert. My partner and I LOVED this dessert and how carmelized the toast was, it was divine. Final thoughts We loved the desserts and appetizers but felt the mains weren't super special. Staff were friendly. It did take us a while to get our food- appetizers came quick but took more than half an hour for our mains to come and waited more for our dessert. It was pretty busy but maybe they're still getting their groove as the Samemer delicious promotion brought in an influx of customers.

The owners, who run the restaurant, are very friendly and take the time to connect with the customers. They deeply care about providing the best quality food and experience. The Date Night package includes 1 Amuse Bouche, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, a bottle of house red or white wine (or an individual drink from the menu, 1 drink per person) and a dessert platter, for $120; which is a great price. They have impressive variety on their menu which changes every 3 weeks. We ordered "Octopus" and "Steak Tartare" for appetizers. Octopus was one of the most tender ones I have ever had. Steak Tartare was perfectly seasoned and we loved the flavours. For main, we ordered "Top Sirloin Steak" (mediums rare) and "Grilled Rack of Lamb". The steak was so tender that we could cut it without much effort. Lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We loved both of the main dishes. The dessert platter was the perfect way for finishing our meal; it included: Lychee Pana Cota, Tiramisu, Ricotta Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse. My favorite was Pana Cota.

To start the meal, we were served a small platter of amuse bouche, which included cheeses, sausage, fritata, and my favourite - the terrine (very savoury and flavourful, paired nicely with the pita). For drinks, you have a choice of a bottle of wine (amazing deal!), or 2 drinks of your choice from spritz, cosmopolitan, negroni, martini/espresso martini, prosecca, manhattan, old fashioned, beer, or margarita. The spritz was okay but could use more bubbles as it was kind of flat. For appetizers, we had the Sangria Braised Pork Belly on top of grilled apple with scotch bonnet mousse and the Wagyu Tartare (truffle oil, onions, chilli, lemon, capers, egg yolk, parsley). The pork belly was fatty and melt-in-your-mouth, while the tartare was well-seasoned and claimed one of the best tartares my partner has had in Toronto (he is French). From the mains, we picked the Bone Marrow over Gnocchi and Tagliata Steak. There was a hint of truffle oil in the gnocchi and the sauce was super creamy, but could have used more flavour. The steak was quite tough and chewy unfortunately. Finally, we had the panna cotta and affogato for dessert - both were lovely. The service was fast throughout and our courses came out one after the other. We also had a lovely conversation with the lady in front.
