The space feels stylish yet relaxed, making it a comfortable stop for taking a break from shopping or meeting someone for a casual meal. With its open, lively atmosphere, friendly service and polished design, it strikes a nice balance between everyday dining and something a little special.

The food was well-presented and mostly delicious, but a bit too salty.

As a Yelp Elite, I've had my fair share of brunch pancakes--but finding a stack that's both…read morenutritious and genuinely delicious is rare. These protein pancakes absolutely deliver. The texture is fluffy with just the right golden crisp on the edges, and they're surprisingly light despite being packed with protein. No chalky aftertaste, no overly dense bite--just a clean, satisfying stack that feels indulgent and fueling at the same time. Topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of syrup, every bite felt balanced and comforting. Perfect post-workout brunch vibes or a guilt-free weekend treat. If you're someone who loves brunch but also tries to keep things on the healthier side, this is the kind of plate that proves you really can have both. Elite tip: Pair it with a good coffee and take your time--this is the kind of breakfast that deserves to be savored. #YelpElite #BrunchFinds #ProteinPancakes #HealthyBrunch

It was so packed but my brother was able to save a table while I did the ordering. This was a very casual and self service type of restaurant in which you can order at the front desk or at their kiosk. They had a limited time "promotion" going on in which you can order a maximum of 2 orders of their xiaolongbao or steamed mini soup dumplings for $2.99 with a minimum spend of $10. But honestly, I've seen this promotion since last year so I'm thinking it's actually a permanent offer. We ordered two orders of their pan fried pork buns, 1 order of their pan fried chicken dumplings, and 2 order of their promotional steamed mini soup dumplings. I thought everything tasted pretty good. The pan fried buns and dumplings were very crispy and quite juicy. My only nitpick is that I wished they put some kind of veggies or chives in their filling. It was just meat and felt too 1 dimensional for me. The steamed mini soup dumplings was actually really good though which is such a surprise at this price point. The outer layer was very thin and the filling was packed with soup. It was very delicious and hearty. Are these the best Chinese dumplings and bun's I've ever had ? No, but they were great especially for the price point. I would definitely come back again next time I am craving Chinese dumplings and buns. Also they take Amex which is always a plus in my book.

What an amazing Thai restaurant…read more Our friend recommended this spot and I didn't realize that it was Michelin guide! There was essentially no wait for a party of three so we sat down immediately. They gave us two 750ml of water in a wine bottle, and were very prompt with their service. Their menu has really good pictures and it was so easy to make our selection. We asked our server Nat for recommendation and her recommendations were top notch! Prik pao Talay: the seafood stir fry was bomb! A tad sweet but such a decent amount of seafood and what a complex flavor profile! 5/5 Crab fried rice: 5/5 spectacular. Great wok hei or the pan fried smell to the rice and each grain was separate. A classic Thai dish done absolutely right and delicious. Kor moo gaeng kua: 5/5 the pork was so freaken good! The cut of pork is pork neck and it was just so juicy and absolutely amazing in the coconut curry. Thai tea: its southern Thai tea, and you can't often find that in most Thai restaurants, so it was spectacular to see it. From the service to the food, I highly recommend this place!

Richmond Station is well liked because of their hospitality, tip included structure, and fresh ingredients. I opted for the beef tartare as my app and the station burger. These were both amazing! The beef tartare came with a little bit of shaved veggies and a side of russet potatoes. 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!

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and chose the tasting menu. To start, we were served a small bite of salmon tartare, which was quite flavorful. The scallop appetizer was refreshing, while the asparagus course felt a little underwhelming as a standalone dish. The two main courses were the highlights. The wild Quebec bass was fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Although it came with a butter-based sauce, it wasn't heavy at all and paired perfectly with the bread. For dessert, the first one was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ice cream was quite tasty. The six-course tasting menu was just the right amount for the two of us, although it might be a little small for bigger appetites.

We always order 2 things on repeat everytime we come here: -…read moreMafalde ai funghi - Octopus Then we try out another appetizer and a different pasta dish. The hype about the mafalde ai funghi is right on the dot, It's super truffle forward, and VERY creamy. My favorite thing about Gusto is nothing is overly salty. A big pet peeve of mine is when dishes are salty, because I truly like to taste the ingredients. The mafalde is one of the dishes where it's not heavily salted so the flavor of truffle and cream is really delicious! Gusto has become my repeat italian and will continue to be! Unless they remove the mafalde off the menu The only downside is that it's very loud at gusto because there are a lot of tables super close together. So i really only come here for a casual date rather than super special. Take that into account if you're planning something special!

I wish they had the option to sub fries for the bubbles $5 fries, similar texture I think to McDonald's but a little more crispy and less salty, they were nice $21 chicken lettuce wraps, not enough lettuce for the wraps to finish the filling. The chicken here was so little, I think there were about 6 one inch pieces. The dish was quite sweet. I liked the peanuts it gave it good texture and flavour. $9 The goyoza was a little bland, and tasted like it came out of the freezer. Total $68 and change +tax and tip.

Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

We sat for a while and no one took attention (we were outside and they were busy but no excuse for them -- they should do better). We had folks come in and out and were somewhat nonchalant and not attentive. Food: This was the great part of the experience. - Berries and Granola with Greek Yogurt: My brother in law got this an he devoured it and said it was great. - Farmers Breakfast: My wife got this and she LOVED it. She went back to get their Halwah Latte (which she said was just OK) - Egg white Omlette Skillet: I customized my food and it was good -- for reference I've had better only because the cheese was feta and it was unclear that this was the only option as I don't love feta. Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.
