On one floor so easily accessible by elderly. Washrooms as well. Food was spectacular and plentiful. The staff were above average in skill, efficiency and smiles.

When doing research about various venues, it seemed as if everything lays on the couple's shoulders- setup, cleanup, all the details- there are too many restrictions! With Marla, in this fabulous hall- probably all we wanted (AND BEYOND) was made possible. To all my concerns Marla responded with 'don't worry doll, you have me!". And its true! We felt Marla's and her team's support through everything...from booking the hall, to finding out details (ten thousand times)...she does it all. She advises, she holds your hand, she whips her magic wand and its all done- in a classy, timely, gorgeous and calm manner! We love Marla, we loved the hall that was GORGEOUS, all our guests were ecstatic with the hall, quality, presentation and taste of the food and professionalism of the staff- we just couldn't be happier!

The location was a bit hard to get to since we decided to take transit but that is only a minor issue. The real bright spot is the staff that work there. They are super friendly and very efficient. Nothing seemed like too much of an issue for them. You can tell they take a lot of pains to hire the right person for this type of job. The event was a cash bar and they were a bit slow to process people paying by tapping. This could easily be improved with today's technology options but this did not take away from the overall experience.

Teri Leese What can…read moreI say about my recent experience at The Factory Lounge? [TLDR] - Candidly, I would not spend your hard earned money here unless you want to partake in a venue run by egregious management and staff who are seemingly hardwired to distrust their customers and patrons. For the sake of garnering some perspective, I logged into Google Reviews to see what everyone else have got to say about the establishment. I was very surprised to read the comments and many of which were very consistent to my previous experience at The Factory Lounge - uncommunicative staff, subpar customer service, and patrons faced with hostility at the liquor bar. Prior to arriving at the venue, I visited the company website. In the 'What are we all about' section it states "At The Factory Lounge it's all about the party and we know how to throw the best party in town! We pride ourselves in paying attention to every last detail and we will create a memorable and distinctive event you will never forget." Bona fide clients who choose to use this venue based on the mission statement will surely be let down because: A)The Factory Lounge really doesn't know how to throw a party - the bar staff was underperforming their duties and crutching on excuses to deter paying customers B)There was no attention to detail because the head manager/owner was too busy arguing with people C)They claim to be the best party in town yet there is no substance. Customer satisfaction is far and few between. Albeit, I do agree with one part of their mission statement about creating an unforgettable event. Only I would put it a bit differently, the most unforgettable thing about the event was the constant tarnishing and arguing done by the lousy team working that night. When I asked to speak directly with the operating manager to rectify some issues surrounding the liquor agreement, I was dumbfounded because I was looking right at her: Teri Leese (Owner, Operator, Coordinator). She has been running this business for over 7 years. I am astonished by her uncooperative demeanor for someone with such tenure. Teri had reigned over the bar staff to disadvantage their customers, she was mostly unapproachable, she was disrespectful towards our party members - just to give you some perspective. Having read this review, I urge you to reconsider choosing The Factory Lounge as your primary venue for any event. You could be faced with regret, disgruntled guests, and an unforgettably bad experience.

On Friday August 14, 2020, my girls & I went to Leng Keng to have a girls night!…read more Prior to our reservation: I stubbled upon this place while being on Instagram 'Toronto' stories and I saw a video story of this place, it was breath taking! Watching it, it reminded me of Shanghai and their clubs with all the lights, and electric music. Immediately I was excited! So I called them and made a reservation on Monday for Friday for 5 people. I got in contact with Alex, the manager, he set us up for Friday and answered any question I had. As this place is very new, there weren't many images or a website set up when I found them, and I was still unsure if they were open due to COVID. But they are open! I informed my girls of this place, they were thrilled and our group quickly turned from 5 to 7. Luckily, I called Leng Keng back asking if I could increase the size of my party & they were able to accommodate me! During our reservation: Coming to the place, the exterior isn't the most attractive setting. But as we looked past it, inside was just like the video that I had seen. It took me back to the time I was out with my expat friends in Shanghai club hopping. Covid protocols: Since we're still in a pandemic, Leng Keng had great protocols emplaced. As we showed our IDs to security, we signed in with our name and phone numbers. Once inside, there were masks & hand sanitizer available at the door. The tables were well distanced and people would stay within their allocated booths. The atmosphere of Leng Keng is extremely beautiful, nothing like I've ever seen in other Toronto bars/lounges/clubs. The lights are constantly moving & changing colours very beautifully as electric music plays in the background. We were greeted by very nice servers that showed us to our table. Once seated, we were able to take in the place more, & my friends were truly impressed by the place. For food we ordered Calamari and French Fries to share. For drinks we ordered Cosmos, Rum & Coke, Margaritas & a couple shots of Vodka. Everything tasted well, besides the Calamari that was slightly too fishy, the Margaritas didn't come with limes or salt on the rim of the cup. Other than that, this place was magnificent & we do believe Leng Keng has great potential in being the next trending spot in Toronto. We will be back soon! Thank you!

They said I took 2 large bath towels hand towels faceclothes and the bath mat! Im not sure where they think I had them hidden on my body but I was told to call police if I wanted. No manager was on site I told them to check the cameras they conveniently didn't have cameras on the floor I stayed. The staff were laughing like it was a joke very rude. Clearly the items were not in the room to begin with and clearly they were not on me and clearly I got ripped off. I stayed from 11pm straight to sleep and left at 9:30am i will never ever stay here again waste of money.

This was my first time attending an event at Village Loft, operated by Oliver and Bonacini. Wow!…read moreThe venue, food, and service were all on point The venue, located on the upper level of a standalone building in the parking lot of Bayview Village, was a warm and inviting space, with brick and wood walls, large windows, and very intimate lighting. We used two of the three available sections and it was more than enough space. The event was a baby shower luncheon and the menu was very appropriate, with a variety of roving hors d'ouevres, salads, sandwiches, and desserts that satisfied everybody's appetite. The salads were all colourful, fresh, and tasty, with a good variety to choose from. The sandwiches - salmon, chicken, pulled pork, and vegetarian - were all delicious, as were the desserts. Personally, I would have preferred a tad less dressing on the salads but maybe that's just me. The service was also excellent, from the moment I walked in and was greeted with smiles by all the staff. Used plates were cleared from the tables very efficiently and the buffet table was replenished quickly. Overall, this was a great experience and a very enjoyable baby shower!

I liked the fact they got an elevator to get us to the 2nd floor, as the venue is there. Then I found out this venue is part of the O&B group, there's a certain aura this venue signifies as well as a standard O&B represents. I like! I like the setup as the food came in the middle, and we serve ourselves. I like that configuration. I can control portion on my own. First came the appetizers and there's risotto ball, and warm salad. Surprisingly they taste quite decent even though it was mass produced. Then the mains came after about half hour and there's all three choices of beef, chicken and fish. So I am not stuck with one. The biggest surprise were the beef and fish. As I mentioned earlier, banquet food tends to flop when it is mass produced. But not here, the beef came out soft and juicy still and the fish actually tasted good. I didn't have chicken as I was full by then. Dessert were homemade doughnut balls and a tiramisu. These were dynamite. I had an extra serving of these wonderful goodies. Overall experience is very nice. Food was good and service is quite good.
