We did not get any food as we were just coming from dinner. We each got a round of drinks, we were mostly here to catch up. The dj is spinning vinyl records. The ambience is amazing, it's all our high school bangers. We did feel very rushed and told that our reservation was ending at 10:30pm (only 1 hour reservation). We were not sure if that was due to the fact that we did not get any food or if they had to open the dance floor. The place is also very pricey, expect to pay $30+ after tax and tip for a single drink. I was planning on coming again for the food, but the service was very cold and rushed, I feel we were being judged based on the amount we spent. Cool IG stories. Meh experience.

The bar price range is on the pricey side being inside Four Seasons Hotel. The bartenders are quick and attentive, you're not waiting for too long considering there were quite a few people there. There was a DJ for some music more on the classic MJ and rock which I did enjoy. There are seats as well if you want to be seated and some bar food on the upscale side. Our waiter when we got seated was the best. He was so kind and friendly. I would come here again with a few friends next time!

What a fun spot on Queen West with such a nice patio in the back. We were seated instantly and had a house lager - that was very tasty and the food... ok, I was so impressed with what came out. We started with beef dumplings, really enjoyed the sauce and they have their homemade chilli oil?! Yum! And the mains - wow. We ordered the Reuben and Cuban wrap. Never heard of a Cuban wrap but that pulled port was tender and the Reuben was so juicy. The highlight of the show for me though, hands down, was the house salad. Yup, I said it lol. I've never been wow'd by a house salad but this WOW'd me. Such a huge portion given it was supposed to be just a side ..that dressing was delicious and with the pumpkin seeds? I inhaled it. We finished off with a tiramisu cookie that I didn't think really tasted like tiramisu but it was still soft and yummy. Our server was awesome - constantly checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed. Loved our experience here - they're also dog friendly!! I would definitely come back for a drink, dinner, maybe a tub of the house salad.

DO NOT COME HERE!! The bartender was rude so we didn't tip... at least not until he forced us to…read more He took our drinks back after we already paid for them (THEFT: Section 322) , he grabbed my friends phone out of her hand (ROBBERY: Section 343, ASSAULT: Section 265) and refused to give back the drinks and her phone until we paid a $20 tip (EXTORTION: Section 346). He also deleted the video off her phone when he grabbed it from her (MISCHIEF TO DATA- Section 430 (1:1)). He also wouldn't tell me where to find the washroom because "he doesn't wanna clean up after me". Denying me access to the bathroom violates a variety of provincial laws, health regulations, and municipal bylaws. In conclusion, A LOT of laws were broken by the bartender. If you come here stay safe!!!

Came here after hearing great things about their happy hour deal. It's definitely a good deal with…read morelots of items at half price. One thing to note, though, the $7 mixed drinks during happy hour are just simple mixes (like rum and coke), not their signature cocktails. The chicken sliders come in portions of two, so if you're with a bigger group, you'll probably want to order more than one serving. We tried a variety of items from the menu, and I'd recommend the mac and cheese and the soppressata pizza. The bang bang shrimp was also really tasty, though the portion was a bit small. The poutine was just okay, so I'd probably skip that next time. Mainly just because it just wasn't hot, the cheese was clumpy and the fried were just meh. Their happy hour runs from 5-8 PM, which is great since many places tend to end theirs around 5 or only start later at night around 10. The service was good, and the food came out fairly quickly. Even though we mostly ordered happy hour items and didn't get drinks, the staff were still very friendly and attentive. The overall vibe is great for watching sports, and they also have a pool table, so it's a fun spot to hang out. I will say thought I would only come during happy hour because it's super cheap, not sure I would pay, full prices for some of the items because of the small portions sizes for some items. Anyways definitely come during happy hour though!

Everyone was so nice that we encountered. Can't wait for our next visit.

In late October, on a Sunday, I had lunch with a few friends at Rivoli Toronto, an iconic venue…read morenear the downtown core. I had a great time. I parked on Queen Street West. It's Green P parking. I recommend paying for parking through the Green P app if you need to add more time. When you walk in, there's a flight of stairs and a main floor: - The main floor has a restaurant, bars, and Back Room for concerts - The second floor has a full bar, stage, pool tables, and arcade games I entered the main floor. I was greeted by John, the owner. He was super nice and hospitable, leading me to where my friends were. We were a party of six. Main floor We feasted. We got a lot of food. We divided, shared, and conquered. We ended up boxing leftovers home. I ordered a Diet Coke. It was cold and perfect. I ended up getting another one later on. Balls menu The balls menu consists of appetizers that are sharable with friends. I can also see having a few for yourself to enjoy. It's good finger food eats if you want variety or something lighter, especially before a show. We enjoyed the following ballsy items: - Wookie balls - Beefy Danish balls (frikadeller) - Fish ball fusion - D'oh balls - Garlic mashed potato All the balls were scrumptious and filling. The Wookie balls are one of the Rivoli's signature items. They are rice balls with mirin, sesame oil, and herbs, coated in black and white sesame seeds. They were crunchy and yummy. The beefy Danish and garlic mashed potato balls are comfort in ball form. I dream of this combo still. I was fortunate to have been invited into the kitchen, to check out where these talented chefs make all their food creations. Every order is made fresh. I could tell how much these chefs love what they do. They cooked and plated everything so effortlessly and with such precision. It was impressive! I got to see them make these offerings for us: - Blackened burger - Korean chicken lettuce wraps They were delicious and full of flavour. You can get the lettuce wraps made with veggies if you're vegan. Noodles We got the vegetarian pesto linguini. I loved the roasted red pepper and garlic cloves, with pesto that was fresh and bright. You can also get this dish with chicken. Rivoli's classic pad thai has been a staple since Rivoli opened in 1982. Pan-seared chicken and shrimp are your proteins. Egg, scallions, peanuts, and bean sprouts, and the proteins are tossed with rice noodles in Rivoli's signature pad thai sauce. The sauce is ketchup-based, which may offend pad thai purists, but they are missing out on yumminess by knocking it. You can also get this dish made vegetarian with veggies and tofu. Flatbreads Flatbreads are part of the Sound Bites appetizers at Rivoli. We enjoyed the following flatbreads: - Spicy thai - Spicy thai sauce base, with baby shrimp, marinated chicken, green onion, bean sprouts, ribbons of egg, roasted peanuts, cilantro, and fresh lime zest - Korean BBQ - Korean BBQ sauce base, with marinated chicken, red pepper, red onion, carrot, cheese, cilantro, and green onion - Love from parma - drizzled extra virgin olive oil on the flatbread, with thyme, sea salt, cracked black pepper, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, shaved parmesan, arugula, and flat-leaf parsley - Blanco - drizzled extra virgin olive oil on the baked flatbread, with fresh thyme, cracked sea salt, gouda cheese, and bufala mozzarella All flatbreads were perfectly toasted and made to order. They were both chewy and crispy where they should be. Scrumptious! Back Room The Back Room is the main stage. Adele, Amy Winehouse, Gord Downie, The Kids in the Hall, Mike Myers are some folks who have performed here. It was cool to look at the stage and sit on it, to soak in everything. I'll need to return and check out a show or more. Second floor I took in The Empty Glasses play a live set at 3 pm on the second floor. The stage is by the bar. This band plays every other Sunday. It felt like being in Nashville, visiting a bar, knowing that there is good, live country music playing as you grab a drink and a bite to eat. The difference is that you save a bit by soaking up country vibes in downtown Toronto. It's a tight-knit community of talented country musicians that can play or sing anything on a Sunday afternoon. It was special to witness. I instantly became a fan, as attending live concerts and performances is my thing. There's also a pool hall with games on this floor. It was a throwback to my undergraduate years learning how to play pool with friends over drinks. There are a decent number of pool tables. I counted eleven. The purple one in the middle is the largest one out of the bunch. The oldest one is over a century old. It's like being in a pool hall museum, but you can touch the artifacts. You can also play video games. I saw Pac-Man and other great 80's arcade games. They made me happy. I had a great time. The food and drinks, and live music were excellent. (436)
