Impeccable. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive without being overbearing. I felt welcomed from the second I walked through the door. I ordered the Avocado Salmon Toast paired with the beautifully pink and perfectly named Pink Flamingo drink. My friend went for the Sweet Berry Waffle and a classic lemonade. Let me just say--the flavors did not disappoint. The salmon was fresh, creamy avocado was piled high, and the toppings were thoughtfully layered. My only tiny critique (and I say this with love): the toast itself was a little too crispy for my liking. It made the dish a bit tricky to cut into, and the texture leaned dry. Next time, I'll definitely ask for it untoasted or lightly toasted. A softer base would really let those flavors shine without the crunch competing. Now let's talk about that Pink Flamingo--WOW. It was tropical, sweet, and honestly gave me vacation-in-a-glass vibes. I almost ordered a second, but adulting (and budgeting) called me back to reality. That said, it's worth every sip! I snuck a few bites from my friend's Sweet Berry waffles, and yep--I'm getting that next time!! Light, fruity, tasty!! I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Who knows, maybe next time I'll get to sample a few more dishes Seriously though--support local and give this place a try. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

They have their own vodka and gin they use. 5 stars - Menu: sweet/dry, light/spirited quadrants mapped out on the front page Also a sketch drawing of the drink so you can see what type of glass you'll get and colorful pictures on the side to set the mood. - Spicy nuts: good yet dusty but bonus for having hazelnuts. 4 stars Midlights: - Can get on waitlist if full and can text you (note: was full even early afternoon on a Saturday) - Wanted to try more food like the beef sandwich or french onion soup but we were in between meals Lowlights: - Took over 30 min to get our first drink after ordering which was odd at a hotel of this caliber.

So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.

Slices are served old school (flimsy white paper plates in paper bag). Napkins are brown and coarse. You can add extra chili flakes to your pizza if you want.

The first thing you notice is the crust (thin) with the first bite...the crunch and combined with the topping makes the experience really good.

Review is not good but have to point out the server said he wouldn't charge us so we felt mildly better. We came in for lunch at 12 noon. We ordered the lil banger burger and the nduja pizza with sausage about 5 mins after sitting down. We got the lil banger about 25 mins later. It was overcooked but tasty. After an hour, we started really wondering about our pizza. There was one guy in the kitchen and we kept looking to see if he was doing a pizza. There were 3 tables in the place. After 1 hour and 10 minutes, we get the pizza. We take a bite and realize it's quite burnt and black and also, not the right pizza. At this point, we walk over to the server to tell him it's the wrong pizza all together. We say we are just going to cut our losses and leave. He checks with his manager and says they will comp the 4.50$ burger. We leave starving. Really not sure if one guy should be working their lunch who can't do it properly. Definitely won't be back unless for a simple drink? However the server was just apologetic and kind so that eased the hindrance. Bah. read more

This spot is perfect for a Friday night hangout! Definitely try to book a table in advance as it gets really busy. They have a 15-minute grace period, but if you don't show up, they charge a 20-dollar fee per person, so make sure to be on time. The place is a bit smaller than it seems and can get pretty loud, but that's pretty typical for a bar. The service was quick, and our server checked on us a bunch of times even though it was packed around 9-10 PM. The drinks, the Sour Poet and espresso martini, came out fast and were both really good. The shrimp rosé pizza was delicious. I'd definitely come back! read more

Bar Poet is a dreamy late‑night hangout with a magical, vine‑draped interior and moody lighting. Their food leans into comfort: think creative pizzas (the Hot Rod pepperoni is a standout) and hearty pastas like spicy rigatoni. The cocktails are inventive, too--favorites include the "Purple Rain" and espresso martini. Service is friendly, the crowd is young and lively, and there's usually a DJ at night. It's a little pricey, but the vibe and food make it feel special. read more

Knowing that we're in Toronto, the mice running outside didn't bother us as much as the other individuals, but it was noted that there was a few of them looking for food. The food here was delicious. We actually finished everything and the service was pretty awesome as well. I probably opt to sit inside and upstairs next time just so that my attention isn't on the rodents running around.

Liberty Village is a short walk away, so I hoofed it over there and wound up at LOCAL Public Eatery just in time for happy hour. I wound up grabbing a beer (which, despite what the menu said, cost full price but still less than 15 bucks) and an Old Fashioned ("Canadian Club Classic 12yr whisky, cane syrup, aromatic bitters, amarena cherry"). The cocktail was actually a lot better than I was expecting. Although maybe a touch too sweet, it's a solid version of a venerable drink. And the price was right, too. Service was leisurely but friendly, and the vibe was right on point. I'm sure I'll be back to try their food sooner rather than later.
