The even had fresh candles burning in the bathroom. Our server Daniel was one of a kind, he made us feel like we were regulars; and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He had recommendations for everything and answered all of our questions with grace. Now let's get to the good part. The FOOD! We started with caviar, lobster pasta, scallops, and bacon, from there we moved on to the main - The Australian wagyu and the prime rib was the best meal I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. And so tender. Accompanying the meet, we had some mashed potatoes; palace potatoes which are 26 layers of potato, and mushrooms.

    Was eager to try this place after reading so many good reviews and it did not disappoint.

The crudo was among the best I've ever had and the bread came with an assortment of butters, each one addictive. Finished the whole loaf. They also were nice enough to give me one slice of bacon, which I pretty much inhaled. We then ordered the lobster spaghetti and the prime rib, which was as flavorful as any prime rib I've had without the bone. Our server recommended horseradish (a $4 extra charge, which seems petty). I don't think necessary as the meat was so flavorful. The spaghetti was delicious, but so creamy and rich, it was hard to finish. I'd recommend sharing it. Had the kale gratin as a side, which was perfect. Finished off with the chocolate cake which was really good!. We will definitely return!

Thanks to a couple of the reviews, we ordered -- among other things the spicy rigatoni. Absolutely unbelievable flavor that really wakes up your tastebuds and says, "Delicious, aren't I?" The answer is YES!!! We ordered the truffle fries for the table, which are the best I've ever had and I love truffle fries. I ordered the Sangria Rouge simply because I love a really good one. This met and exceeded all my hopes and dreams. In fact, I would say that that describes this restaurant. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience.

We ordered a bunch of things to share and the table ended up being full pretty quickly. Rock shrimp to start, truffle fries with truffle aioli, a wagyu caesar salad, half roasted chicken, and king oyster mushrooms. Everything was good, but the rigatoni completely stole the show. Creamy, spicy, perfectly cooked pasta and one of those dishes where you keep going back for another bite even when you're already full. Drinks were solid too. The Pornstar Martini and the Hot & Bothered were both great and fit the vibe of the place. The space feels polished but still lively, especially around the bar. Definitely the kind of spot that works for a night out, drinks with friends, or a late dinner. If you go, do not skip the spicy vodka rigatoni. I would come back just for that.

They had a large seating area. Only 2 tables plus us. The food came fairly quickly. They have a sauce bar and with some fruits there. I found the menu to be pretty small. A lot of it were like filler food. Like spam, different types of balls. It was mostly just beef or seafood. The beef didn't taste as tender as other places we been to before. It actually tastes quite dry. Our server also never really came around. We had to wait till someone comes around. Another weird thing that they do is add a mandatory 12% tips onto your bill. They do tell you before hand, but it felt obligated when it's forced onto the bill. Super weird

The staff are friendly and guide you through the experience. The service is fast and efficient.

    Located on King Street in the theatre district, this is a place that has a vibe of typical chain…read morerestaurant but I'm not sure if there are any other locations. We came around 5 pm and chose to just get shareable items before our show. Menu is burgers, salad, pasta, steak and seafood etc., most with lobster in the food description. Service is very good. When we arrived we were offered a complimentary glass of Chardonnay and during dinner we were check in on at least 3 times with once being the manager of the evening. What was ordered: Chicken sliders - 3 to an order; just okay, nothing spectacular LBB nachos - drizzled with lobster cheese sauce but no actual pieces of lobster; nacho chips seem old Lobster Mac and Cheese ($36.00) - you can taste bits of lobster in the dish but flavor wise was nothing amazing. The service made this place a 4, otherwise based on food alone? I would have ranked a 3.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. One thing worth noting is that if you're provided with a menu, not everything listed is available as part of the buffet. Certain seafood dishes and desserts are reserved for à la carte service, which wasn't immediately obvious. The experience started a little inconsistently. Some tables received a welcome drink while others did not, and there didn't appear to be any explanation for the difference. The atmosphere also wasn't quite what I expected. It often felt as though the dining room was geared more toward content creation than enjoying a leisurely meal. Buffet lines became quite long at times as some guests paused to set up ring lights and film multiple shots before moving on. Throughout the afternoon, ring lights remained in use at several tables, and a few groups could be heard repeating their toasts to capture the perfect video. While I understand that's part of the social media culture today, it did take away from what could have been a more relaxed dining experience. As for the food, it was enjoyable but ultimately didn't stand out. Given the restaurant's reputation, I had expected a bit more in terms of quality and freshness. Toronto has no shortage of excellent sushi restaurants, many of which offer a stronger culinary experience in a more relaxed setting. One interaction with the manager also left me a little puzzled. While checking in with our table, he seemed surprised to learn that we were locals, mentioning that most guests he speaks with are visiting from out of town. Considering the restaurant's location beside one of the city's major theatres in the Entertainment District, I wasn't sure why that was unexpected. He then shared that he never leaves the city for anything, which made for an unusual conversation and didn't feel especially relevant to our dining experience. Overall, I can understand why the restaurant appeals to those looking for a lively, social media-friendly outing. For me, however, the focus seemed to lean more toward the atmosphere than the food itself. While I'm glad I gave it a try, I don't think it would be my first choice the next time I'm looking for a sushi buffet

I have been to the Sutton Place hotel many times since I have friends living in the condos there, but this was a first to settle in to this beautiful heritage building dining room and take in the ambiance and vibe. It's a great location being right at the corner of Blue Jays Way and King with a nice view of the streetscape through the large windows, yet set back comfortably from the action outside. The evening in January brought some fluffy lazy snow dropping out of the sky which added to the drama of the view and the added context for our meal extravaganza that was coming for us. Check out my photos for the menu items that we tried, all ordered a la carte and from the menu for January 2026 that I have also included in my review. When each dish arrives, the server describes what it is which is nice. But with a larger table, a typical noisy din on a busy Saturday evening, often diners can't hear or understand what was said. Some of us would appreciate if the servers would slow down, and make sure we heard more clearly what we were in store for with each amazing dish. Otherwise, our service was great! The asians at the table appreciated the tea served in the typical familiar glass teapots when I asked what they wanted to drink, knowing that they were not into beer or cocktails like westerners, or even the other typical non-alcoholic beverages available. That helped make them happy with hanging out for an extended time in the fine dining tradition. We did have to ask for the servers to keep the tea flowing to our table, since that is part of the idea and the shared experience that needed inclusivity. The server explained that the menu was a mediterranean sharing menu, so we felt like we were a family. The free flowing tea dove-tailed nicely with that theme. It was a bit of a learning experience for the Abrielle staff to see that hey, we needed more tea cups and more tea for everyone!! Not just the teetotallers in the group, us beer drinkers want to be included too : ) When we turned down the dessert options it was a nice VIP touch that they brought out a little bite of a matcha mousse sweet at the end which was super tasty! Fantastic and highly recommended.
