    Overall had an amazing experience at cactus club! I go there during the happy hour quite often and am met with wonderful service and good food. The prices make a world of a difference too, feels nice to not be spending my whole wallet on food. Overall, I love cactus club, the vibes are nice and so is the decor too.

    My experience at Cactus Club Cafe was pretty incredible! When we got here it was roughly about 9:00 o'clock and the happy hour was just beginning. This is easily one of the major pluses about this restaraunt was the length happy hour menu. I ordered the crispy tofu bowl. It was honestly one of the best food items I've had in a long while. It was packed with various flavors and very fulfilling. I ordered a side of broccolini which didn't come out until after I was nearly finished with my food. My friends throughly enjoyed their food!

    This is a cozy fine dining restaurant at conveniently located at Shepoard Centre. It was goid service and delicious food. We have ordered carp&spinach dip with chips, brioche bun and butter as appetizer. They were great starters. As main dish we have ordered parmesan chicken, Thai curry and spaghetti prawn dish. For dessert creme Brule and lava cake. All the food was delicious and service was pretty good.

    Great place to have dinner and drinks. They have a variety of options so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the beef carpaccio and the waitress made an excellent recommendation with the ravioli. It was busy so I'd recommend making a reservation for weekend dinner.

    Came out for a work lunch, and Cactus Club was the perfect place to go for some delicious food. I have been to other locations before but this was my first time at the Willowdale location. We were able to get seated fairly quickly, and the hostess/servers were very kind! Great service always stands out more than food, and we were very happy with our overall experience here! The food is always exceptional here and I never have complaints on how the food tastes. Cactus Club just knows how to make delicious food and I will always stand by that. We ordered a bunch of things to try including the: Salmon Sushi, Hot Chicken & Pickles, Citrus Calamari, Blackened Creole Chicken and Creme Brulee for dessert! Like I said before for my other Cactus Club location review I will always go back for the Blackened Creole Chicken! 9/10 Recommend!

    This place has such sexy ambiance especially on the heated patio, and the peach Bellini is worth the hype lol! I had the steak frites which was just okay tho-- it's not a prime cut of steak tbh but the kale salad, salmon sushi, and avocado dip way yummy! Service was a tad slow but we absolutely loved our server

    It's the Cactus Club... Another West Province bar using the same formula of chic bar, fusion foods, and the standard serving staff in tight black outfits. Unlike the other places, I do like Cactus Club. As I have been living in both great cities of Toronto and Vancouver, I've had the priviledge of experiencing the west coast effect. Like I said, of all the standard Earls, Moxie's, Milestones, Chop places and the like, Cactus Club Cafe stands out with their great drinks, delish foods, and each spot is designed to maximize the ambiance of where they are. I have to say, of all the CCC's I've been to, This location is really amazing. The modern look of bar area, the comfortable dining spaces, and the plush patio with roof slats that open... They went an extra mile for this place. So... If I liked it so much, why the 4 stars? Let me say that impressions given by whomever was our server part 2 was less than stellar. We were from a tight bar side seat to the patio area as our peeps will be going from 2 to 4 people. We were moved to near the end of the patio and comfortably seated. The server came up and we asked for the drinks menu and OMG... Attitude!!! She did not appreciate having people sent to her area that was already seated at another place. Lunch was had but we wanted more cocktails and she just fluttered off to talk to someone about it. Like WTF!?! I had the fortuitous luck that I met Giovan (possible spelling mistake) in the underground parking and elevator and had a quick chat about the various CCC's I've been to... and he was very pleasant. I ran into him again after our little kerfuffle with the server that didn't seem to have enough substance to handle mini crises in her life - however did not mention anything to him about it. Oh... BTW - he's one of the managers it turns out. He was more than happy to help up out and turn the whole experience around. Totally appreciated the extra mile that he went. The other server - totally left the scene and we ended up with a new person. What a breath of fresh air after such a toxic person with attitude issues. Total first impression of a 2 saved to a 4. My personal experience aside, this CCC is definitely worth the visit. Biz meetings, friends catch up, fam outing, and date nights approved. Cheers!

    CACTUS CLUB CAFE . . celebrated a friends birthday here and wow was it amazing. It was both of our first time at Cactus Club Cafe and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food. It was pretty busy on a weekday for lunch so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time just in case. Our server made some great recommendations and was attentive most of the lunch service. We also got a free dessert at the end so that was a bonus! . . Truffle Parmesan Chicken 5/5 Blackened Creole Chicken 4/5 London Fog Crème Brûlée 4/5

    First off, the decor and vibe are amazing; you can tell they put a lot of thought into the design, and since it's new, the space is spotless. We started with drinks and moved on to dinner--the service was seamless and fast without making us feel rushed. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. In my opinion, the pricing is very fair and "normal" for the quality of the meal. We got Thai red curry, steak frites and tuna poke bowl. looking forward to explore the rest of their menu.

    Truffle Parmesan Chicken
    Joyce F.

    Finally visited this spot with my partner after seeing its grand opening--we had been curious for a while and wanted to see if it lived up to the buzz. Truffle Parmesan Chicken - Surprisingly good, better than my expectation, $34.25 Cheddar Bacon Burger - Decent, but not particularly memorable given the $25.75 price tag Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bar - The highlight of our meal! Rich, indulgent, and clearly a fan favourite (lots of praise in online reviews too) While we originally hoped to try their coffee, we learned they don't offer coffee--but their extensive wine list makes up for it, and wine lovers will feel well taken care of. Interior, Seating: Great ambiance and atmosphere--stylish decor and music that enhances the experience Prices are on the higher side for some dishes compared to similar dishes elsewhere, but the space and vibe give it a distinct character Overall Value This isn't a place I would go to for everyday dining, but it's worth checking out for the vibe and unique menu. While not every dish I tried was standout, but I only been there once, the dessert was excellent and there's a lot more I'd like to try--like the Baja fish tacos, Szechuan lettuce wraps, scallop & prawn ceviche, and other small plates. Tips: Popular spot, especially during peak hours and weekends--reservations recommended unless you're going during quieter times Come during non-peak times for a more relaxed experience, and don't expect coffee--but explore the wine menu if that's your thing. Tried this place yet? Let me know what you ordered--or what you'd go back for next time!

    Cactus club for me is like any of the other big name franchises with similar menus. It's better than many other places. Dishes are good. Variety of options for everyone's taste buds. You can find something for everyone. We came here for birthday celebrations and the place was packed. 2 hour seating limit. It's dark in there; so hard to read the menu for older clientele. LOL. Happy hour on weekends start at 10pm so the place kept getting busier as the nite went thru. Also free underground parking that can be validated. And after 6pm it's covered for the entire nite. Overall a good place to gather with friends. No complaints

    Food was good. Downtown location is better but for happy hour the selection was good. The ladies that served us were very nice. Would definitely go back to try different things cuz the service was good. It's a nice space. Lounge feeling. Calm and nice for end of day happy hour get togethers with colleagues and or friends to meet up.

    Steak frites
    Andrew L.

    Went for late dinner and took advantage of their happy hours meal which starts at 9pm. Appetizers are about $3-5 dollars cheaper than regular menu while main course is about $8-10 cheaper. My steak frites costed me $28.50 instead of $38 yet portion size looks the same. The place looks crowded when we arrived, with almost every table seated on a Wednesday evening. The Angus steak was cooked correctly to medium rare though it leans slightly on the chewy side and took a bit of effort to cut. The salad was forgettable while the fries was barely salted. It was pretty easy to get my parking validated.

    Toronto Review 4/Many: I went to this excellent Lanzhou spot with another person as one of my…read moreearlier meals. Our server, Sophia, was bubbly and friendly, giving suggestions and helping with the ordering process for the other person who wasn't as sure what they wanted. We eventually went with two appetizers and two entrees, which was more than enough food, and honestly, we could have only ordered one appetizer. The better of the two appetizers was the CAD 8.95 Hand Shredded Pepper Chicken/手撕椒麻雞/Shou Si Ji. The dish consists of cold chicken in a flavorful sauce, topped with some greens. The chicken was tender, with a mild, pleasant spice and a bit of numbingness from the Sichuan peppercorns, along with some fragrance, presumably from sesame oil. It reminded me a bit of salivating chicken you find in some Szechuan spots, but it was more aromatic and a bit less spicy. The other appetizer was the Steamed Edamame/岩鹽毛豆 with Himalayan pink salt for CAD 5.95. The other person chose between this and the vegetable dumplings, as he avoids pork, and it was, of course, lighter than the other appetizer. The decent portion of edamame was topped with some pickled carrots as a garnish. My main dish was the Braised Beef Noodles/紅燒牛肉面/Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian. The dish included several options, including size, noodle style, and spice level. I chose the large for CAD $20.95, medium spice, and for the noodle style, I chose flat/宽面, as it was closest to the prism style I like at Lanzhou spots in the States. Along with these, I also added a tea egg for an extra CAD 2.95. Outside the add-on, the dish also had a couple of large slices of radish. Compared to some spots in NYC, I slightly preferred the QQ/bouncy texture of the noodles at a spot near me. However, the broth was better here with a balanced amount of mala, though I would likely order spicy next time, as I tend to add chili oil to the relatively lighter Lanzhou broths. The beef was also much better, being tender with a mild chew regardless of whether it was tendon or other cuts. The tea egg was flavorful and worth the add-on, especially when the inside was dipped further into the broth. I can see why others order this. The other person went with the Signature Stir-fried Noodles/招牌炒面/Chao Tatiaozi. There was an option of protein, and he went with Chicken for $17.95 and added the same egg. I tried a bit, and there was a pleasant pepperiness with a bit of numbing flavor, but less than my dish. The noodles had a good bounciness and overall had a slightly better chewiness than mine. This was lighter overall, but also tasty. This spot has apparently come to the US already at the Mall of America, and I would love it if there were a location closer to me. Good place.

The other noodle dishes I've tried from here have been consistently good as well.

I recommend getting medium ones so sauce doesn't splash all over you like what happened to me! A great, affordable meal option.

They pride in using fresh and local ingredients served creatively, and always with new ideas and dishes with the tasting menu changing constantly to match what's in season. Some of the dishes really emphasized the freshness and the quality of the ingredients, showcased in our starting dish of asparagus, egg confit, cure pork and leeks. The salt was minimal, and it tasted so clean, fresh, and well put together. Paneer with makhni was also included playing heavily on the delicious Indian flavors that were so full of umami taste, I could not believe this dish did not have meat. The chicken was one of my favorites with a smoked butter sauce. I could not believe white meat could be this tender and moist and absorb flavor so well. The fish was also great, as was the dessert, a rhubarb tiramisu to give a tangy contrast to the mascarpone cream. This was tasting menu #248, and the menu will change about every 2 weeks it seems like, which is amazing. Finally, I loved that explicitly state that tips are not accepted despite the amazing service and elevated food.

The station burger was the best burger of my life. I had originally wanted to order the duck, but knew at my first bite exactly why Richmond Station is so popular. The burger came medium rare and was pasture raised beef with aged cheddar and chutney. The fries were a tiny bit burnt but still good, and the aioli it came with was great. Yum! Loved my meal here and would definitely come back for the tasting menu next time!

It's also been a reliable spot to be able to book tables for large groups. However, they have poor problem resolution if there are any issues that arise. Their food is all pretty good and drinks are fairly priced.

We had an incident where my friend ordered an alcohol-free beer, but when received, they had a sip and suspected it had alcohol in it because it tasted like the regular alcoholic version. We asked the staff to confirm if the drink they poured was actually alcoholic beer on tap, or if it was an emptied can of the alcohol-free beer. The staff came back and apologized, saying it was the alcoholic beer and poured from the tap but the order placed was indeed the alcohol-free beer. My friend then requested to have the can for the alcohol-free beer instead of poured in a glass to be safe, because she was pregnant. The staff then realized the gravity of the issue and went to get the can, saying we can keep the other glass. A few minutes later, someone who I presume to be a manager came over to say she had clarified the situation again and that it was actually NOT the alcoholic beer--which at this point we weren't inclined to trust. The manager did not apologize, but instead said that a bit of alcohol is okay when you're pregnant... We didn't say anything or raise a fuss, just smiled awkwardly. We left not too long after, and we were charged for the mistaken beer as well. This experience put a bit of damper on going to this place, as it was a frequent spot we visited for decent happy hour specials. However it's evident that staff do not know how to handle special circumstances, nor do they seem to have high EQ. If you are a person with no dietary needs, no wheelchair or crutches (because it's cramped as hell and the washrooms are located on the 2nd floor), not pregnant, and no allergies, then this place is probably fine. But if you have any of the above, then you should skip it in case of incident.

    I'm not generally the type to grab food at a hotel restaurant while I'm traveling. I'm generally…read moreout there walking around trying something random and mom and pop-ish. But after a long day and an even busier evening, I got back to the hotel famished. My brain was incapable of processing decisions and when I saw how busy this corner of the Sheraton was, I decided this was it. I grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered a drink, and listened to a podcast to wind down. It was exactly what I needed. The drink, Nutty Times, was not only delicious but the presentation was exciting too. The bartender was witty, he advised everyone near us at the bar to whip out our phones, because he was about to put on a show. Check out the video I added! After a while, my anxiety from the day began to wear off and it was time to eat. I asked if I was able to take it up to my room as a to-go order and they said that was no-go. Something about the presentation and how you had to be there for it. I don't know about that. I ordered the Atlantic salt cod (fried cod balls) and while they were super good, the presentation left me thinking, "I could have totally eaten this in my giant robe in bed." Regardless, I enjoyed every bite. I did end up getting approval to take my dessert to-go. This made me very happy. It was a chocolate mouse-like thing, shaped like a heart (it was just after Valentine's Day). It came with berries and drizzled with chocolate. Very decadent. This was a very hip spot. The environment was buzzing with people in town for whatever reason, the staff was great, and the cocktail and food couldn't have been better.

    We stopped by for a cocktail and bar bites, and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food…read moreand drink. We spoke with two bartenders that were both friendly, and willing to impart their spirits knowledge. Both cocktails were exceptional. They are expensive, but it's a Sheraton, so it was expected. Food was tasty, but pricy too. The bar is beautiful, so definitely a nice place to visit.

    I had been wanting to try Edna + Vita for a long time, and finally made it here for Summerlicious…read more The restaurant is located beneath an office building in Toronto's Financial District, so lunchtime was lively and filled with conversations from nearby office workers. My first impression honestly made me wonder if it was really worth all the praise. By the end of the meal, I had my answer. Arugula Caprese Insalata A creative take on a classic Caprese salad. Arugula replaces basil, while a rich Parmesan cream stands in for fresh mozzarella, giving the dish a deeper, more savory profile without losing the freshness of the tomatoes. The balsamic balances the arugula's slight bitterness beautifully, and the juicy tomatoes cut through the richness of the cream. Fried capers add a pleasant burst of Mediterranean saltiness at the end. Simple ingredients, thoughtfully combined. Chicken Scarpariello This was easily the highlight of the meal. The chicken skin was beautifully seasoned and roasted until fragrant. Instead of being overly juicy, the meat was incredibly tender, with a faint blush of pink at the center. The Italian sausage had a firm, satisfying bite and a rich meaty flavor. I rarely describe roasted potatoes as "melt-in-your-mouth," but these truly were. The sauce, made with white wine, onions, peppers, and tomatoes, was so flavorful that I ended up using bread to wipe the plate clean--and still wished there had been more bread. Italian Love Cake A layered dessert of chocolate cake, ricotta cheesecake, and chocolate mousse. Each layer offered a different texture: the mousse was smooth without feeling heavy, the cake slightly dry, and the ricotta layer pleasantly crumbly. The texture was more memorable than the flavor, but it was surprisingly light to finish despite being a chocolate dessert. Tiramisu Although it's priced at $19.50, the portion is generous--about one and a half times the size of a typical tiramisu. The mascarpone was silky, rich, and pleasantly creamy with a touch of sweetness. The ladyfingers were well soaked with espresso and carried a subtle hint of liqueur. It tasted like a textbook tiramisu: everything was executed correctly, even if it wasn't particularly surprising. Many years from now, I may no longer remember the wildfire that day--but I'll probably still remember this chicken.

    Super solid place downtown. It's beautifully decorated on the inside and has a nice spacious patio…read moreon the street, with glass fencing around it. We had a pepperoni pizza, mushroom salad with arugula and frisée, and the pawn tagliatelle. We also had the prickly pear spritz and the lemonade. (The lemonade was better! Very refreshing with the addition of grapefruit.) The mushroom salad was fabulous. Nice and crispy, a healthy portion, and a light drizzle of balsamic.
