We stopped by Midnight Market thinking it was still an after-hours club--fair warning, it isn't…read more But the staff was super friendly, and since they share management with Big Trouble, they gave us free cover cards, which was a nice surprise. We ordered the bulgogi dumplings, turnip cakes, miso mushroom udon carbonara, mushroom black garlic spaghetti, and the red curry chicken rigatoni. Everything was genuinely great, especially for the price. For a spot so close to the clubs, it's an awesome place to grab food during a night out. We had someone in our group who's gluten-free, and they were happy to sub rice noodles into one of the dishes. It was thoughtful of them to accommodate, but the rice noodles soaked up the sauce too much and clumped together, making it hard to eat. Still, overall the food and experience were solid, and I'd definitely go back.

It's easy to miss the place coz the exterior is hard to judge. The food we ordered really stood out coz it was flavourful, fresh, and yes, everything on the menu is Halal.

This is a great pan-Asian restaurant in mid town. The service was top notch - our waiter was very…read moreaccommodating and attentive to all our needs and questions. The restaurant has a fancy vibe (I would dress up a bit!) and moody interior. I believe there is also a patio but we were seated in a dining area with a bar. We ordered a variety of items from the menu to share. Everything was delicious, and each dish offered a very unique flavour. The cocktails were also wonderful. Will definitely be back!

It's not award winning food, but it's still quite good & satisfying and definitely worth the price (my wife and I really enjoyed pad thai and cheddar burger) - menu is similar to places like Green Room, Red Room and Urban House cafe. Service was great, attentive, friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is mellow, yet social - music is not too loud - 50's and 60 doowop playing. Lighting perfect - charming decor inside - rustic brick wall. We'll be back for sure!

So it starts as we enter the restaurant. There seems to be 3 staff members doing their own thing…read moreand not paying any attention to us or any of the other patrons. 2 girls are behind the bar counter chatting away about hair styles... whilst a man wanders the restaurant seemingly aimlessly (maybe he's a delivery person?). Eventually we seated ourselves. Minutes later one of the ladies comes over with menus and water in a bottle... although she looked super puzzled and quizzical like "what are you doing here? Would you like to eat here?" but without saying it or asking though. So we sit down and look at the menu and I say "alright! This looks great! Look at all the options!" And then I looked at the options and wasn't impressed. It was such a mishmash fusion of many different things that nothing appealed. And then I go to order the spicy pad thai... and I ask for it to be as not spicy as possible and she goes well the noodles are already pre sauced so there's nothing we can do. So I asked for another minute to decide on what I wanted and I decided on nothing so we left. I liked the decor. It was kitsch-ish and cute. The music was awkward it was like 2006 fallout boy except it wasn't fallout boy and I didn't enjoy it. It just didn't match what was going on inside nor did it entice us to stay. So. I did not eat here, but I did experience feeling like we were ignored, did experience music that made me wanna leave, and had a look at the less than impressive menu. My advice is walk next door to the Thai place or go across the street to Hogtown Vegan.

This is one of the prettiest and modern upscale Thai restaurants in Toronto. We tried their tasting…read moremenu and so got to try a bit of everything and I was so impressed with each and every thing. Starting from the beginning the service was great. We ordered the Thai lemongrass chicken and grilled beef skewers for appetizers, the drunken stir fried duck and the curry powder prawn for mains, and the Thai tres leches and Thai fruit sorbets for the dessert. There was also an amuse bouche which was also a sorbet I think but it had a salty taste with fish shavings I believe. The presentation for the food was mind blowing! Everything was done with so much attention to detail and the food tastes so good that from the very first bite I knew I was coming back again. My absolute favourite from the menu if I had to choose one was the curry shrimp. It was delicious. The dessert was also the best I have ever tried at a Thai restaurant. The Thai tres leches was soaked in Thai tea and the cake was so moist yet dense - it was perfect. We also ordered two drinks - a mocktail and a cocktail and again we were blown away by the presentation. Their drinks menu is inspired by traits of family members and so so they are named after them. We tried the older sister drink which was so pretty but tasted very refreshing and had a litchi flavour. We also got the niece and it also looked beautiful and tasted really good spirit free. Overall loved the atmosphere, food, vibe and everything about this place!

The salmon crisp was like fish version of meat floss "Tom Yum Goong" 3/5 - pretty standard Tom yum soup, I prob wouldn't order again though there were 3 large prawns in this "Pad See Iew Neua" Dark Soy Stir-Fried Beef 3/5 - noodles tasted good I prob would have preferred a stir fried beef instead of the braised short ribs as I didn't love its texture / wetness. Unfortunately there was no stir fried eggs with the noodles. Oddly enough one of the Chinese broccoli stems tasted like rubbing alcohol / vodka. "Hoi Nueung" Steamed Mussels & Scallops 4.5/5 - seafood tastes fresh and it was steamed in a nice acidic and sweet br It's good but too exp for what I consider standard Thai fare. I would prob only return if I was alrdy in the area.

The staff are very friendly and help you with all the questions you have. The menu offers great variety of options for sharing and also main dishes. We ordered "Cajun Fried Shrimp", "Mushroom N Swiss Burger", "Tandoori Pizza", "Yam Fries" and paired our meal with "Mongonada" and "Ferrero Milkshake". Our food was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. Beef patty was juicy and cooked just right; with delicious creamy mushroom sauce. We really liked Tandoori Pizza, too. To finish our meal on a sweet note, we ordered "Hot Mud"; a perfect balance of hot brownie with a cold vanilla i e cream. They also offer weekend brunch and Shisha throughout the week.

Irene is one of the best restaurants and bars to spend a few pleasant hours solo or among friends…read more Its location in the Corus Quay building, on Lake Ontario next to Sugar Beach, is unbeatable and it has what I consider the best patio in the whole of Toronto. It has been around since about 2013-2014 as Against the Grain Urban Tavern, but the current incarnation shines with solid talent in the kitchen ( delicious food) and on the service side. Some of the great dishes I have had recently were the Smash Burger with fries, which is way above what you'd expect from other similar establishments in terms of taste, quality of ingredients and presentation.The Irene salad is also very addictive. Try it! I just returned this afternoon, and since I had not really eaten today, I ordered the Irene breakfast. Some will say $21 is expensive for breakfast but, come on. Two pieces of great sourdough, a few streaks of extra crisp bacon, two eggs any style, two links of delicious breakfast sausage, home fries and a big portion of house salad for this price is pretty fair for the quantity and quality. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of my breakfast. It was soooo yummy but trust me when I tell you it looked great. Drinks wise, the wine and beer list, while not 2 kilometres long, offers something for everyone and for everything on the menu. And local products, from Trius wines to Mill Street and Steamwhistle beers to Wiser's rye whisky, are well represented. Irene also has great mixologists. So whether you crave one of their original cocktail creations or one of the classics, they will not let you down. Now the staff at Irene is great but my server today and on my last visit, Joela, is really in a class of her own. Not only is she knowledgeable, efficient and proactive but she is also genuinely kind and has a great sense of humour and can cheer up anyone with her great sense of humour. I really recommend this restaurant. It's always a great experience!

The drinks were great, no issues with the margarita towers. Same with the sweet corn, they have a little of spice however that were cooked to perfection. The octopus main dish was also very aesthetic. (Gave us clamps to use instead of fork lol) In the end, everything was great. However the main dish which is the burger was not that great. Would not recommend. Everything else was good. 4 people ordered the burger the one with the least food experience liked it the most Ok, aside from food. The elevator going up stunk and during the duration of our stay. Plates were broken numerous times resulting in shards hitting our group.
