    At $55, the Winterlicious dinner was a steal, with plenty of choice across both starters and mains. I landed on the lobster cakes and was pleasantly surprised when a trio arrived atop a bed of sweet corn succotash. Fluffier than classic crab cakes but still packed with seafood, they were hot, crunchy, and disappeared far faster than expected. Then came the seafood boil... I was floored by the size. A massive bowl overflowing with prawns, mussels, crab legs, corn, potatoes, and sausage hit the table. The seafood itself isn't top tier (frozen crab legs and small mussels), but there was more than enough of it, and for a Winterlicious special, it absolutely delivered. Even better, nothing was overcooked, which can be difficult when you're serving so many diners. Flavour-wise, it leaned more satay than Creole, and it was definitely on the salty side, especially for a dish that arrives without bread. The sausage made everything a bit too oily and were so salty that it was inedible and could've been left out. That said, the potatoes soaked up the seasoning beautifully and were soft, comforting, and satisfying. Dessert was a dense, creamy cheesecake. The graham crust was thicker and harder than I'd like, but once broken up and eaten with the cake, it added a buttery, nutty crunch that worked. I appreciated that the topping stayed neutral with berries, letting the cheesecake itself shine. What Lobster Burger Bar gets right is balance. The space isn't stuffy or overly formal, rather there's a casual elegance that makes it feel approachable. The staff were a big part of that. Victoria and Jay introduced themselves naturally and checked in just enough to make us feel well taken care of without hovering. Even the drinks were pleasantly affordable. My vodka martini rang in at $15 instead of the $10 "certain hours" price listed on the menu, but it was strong enough that I didn't feel like nitpicking. Their special cocktail, Sexy & Free, a nod to & Juliet currently playing in Toronto, was only $8 and stayed that way on the bill. Peachy, light, and dangerously easy to drink.

    First time trying lobster burger bar and don't think it will be our last! We went to check out their daily happy hour deal and it was pretty solid. As part of the happy hour menu, they offered $5 drinks and half priced appetizers and sushi. In terms of the food, I definitely recommend their lobster bisque, crab cakes, and sushi tacos (crunchy and saucy at the same time). Everything we ordered was delicious! The service in the beginning was great but then it suddenly slowed down and our waitress forgot about our table? We were also celebrating a birthday which I've noted in the reservation but that wasn't taken into an account. The place is spacious and fairly clean.

    Great experience at the Sunday all-you-can-eat! The vibe was immaculate; not only was the food tasty and served fresh, but the drinks were the high light of the night. Good quality liquor and all you wanted-- can't complain there! As well, the staff were very attentive and ensured that the night went smoothly. Two managers (i think?) were in attendance and went around the tables to ensure guests were happy. Bonus points for individual washroom stalls-- that is always a plus in my books!

    I think I was expecting more from this place, but there was some positives. Service was good. We had a friend birthday and they were kind enough to do a little chocolate cake on the house. We got the lobster risotto, mini lobster rolls, lobster cakes, and the rainbow salad. I thought the risotto was good as well as the mini lobster rolls. Price was what you'd expect downtown Toronto for this kind of food. Makes lobster more accessible as there are some expensive seafood places but this place is quite casual in nature. The owner came to have a chat with us as well which was nice.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Lobster Burger Bar. Came in after a showint at Roy Thomson Hall closeby, and it was a great spot to wind down afterward. The lobster roll was delicious fresh, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. The vibe was lively but comfortable, and service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid experience and a great post-show stop. Will be back :)

    The staff were lovely and attentive. The lunchtime buffet price was incredible and ordering a refillable soft drink was an additional dollar only. Good variety of proteins, veggies and sushi. I would recommend that management ensure that their salad greens is fresh, (as I noted the lettuce leaves to be browning). The kale in the hot plate was a bit bland. Overall, a lovely experience and nice ambiance.

    Lobster Burger Bar has a fantastic happy hour deal, especially for downtown Toronto. I believe it runs between 2PM-5PM, while we made it for the 8PM-close time slot that is available on weekdays. My friends and I dropped in recently after hunting for a deal in the King Street West area (we were not successfully) and were genuinely impressed by the quality, value, and vibe. Drink specials were appreciated, with handcrafted cocktails, draft beers, and rail drinks all offered at great prices. I especially loved the $14 margarita flight, which was a perfect sharing option between 3. We also ordered a bottle of wine - for 50% off, why not? All appetizers are 50% off as well, which is an amazing value. They have some great options, which aren't even that pricey BEFORE the discount. I would recommend everything we ordered - lobster bisque, popcorn shrimp, LBB nachos, calamari, and lobster cakes. It did seem like we ordered most of that appetizer menu. For all this food, plus our drinks, it only came out to about $100 for three people - an amazing deal. Everything tasted great of course. The atmosphere is stylish, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're catching up with friends or just treating yourself after work, this spot delivers. I'll definitely be back!

    This place has a lot to offer: high quality seafood and lobster rolls, burgers and handhelds, steaks and lamb shanks, desserts, cocktails, wine and beer, great vibe and good quality service. You can even hold events here. We got here on a weekday night and there was a small private event at that bar. We ordered "Black Truffle Rolls" with sweet potatoes and "Wagyu Burger" paired with white wine. Our food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely would like to come back and try more of their menu options.

    I give the service, food and ambience 5 stars! This restaurant knows how to treat their customers well and serve good food and drinks without the hefty price tags in the downtown core. We chose this place for a quick bite before the show due to its proximity to the Royal Alexandra theatre. We went with combo 1 to be shared between the two of us and chose to upgraded our fries to lobster supreme fries and chose lobster bisque as a side. We had the option to upgrade the 1lb lobster to 2lb but we didn't as it was enough food to be shared. The food came promptly and the manager came by multiple times to chat and check up on us. It was a wonderful experience leaving us in good spirits for the show. A great place for decent seafood and service and will definitely be back!

    Overall rating: 4.7/5 Came here on a recommendation from a foodie friend for their Summerlicious menu, and we were blown away. This is coming from someone who's not a lobster fan! Lobster roll: small chunks of lobster in a light mayo mixture, piled onto a beautiful, toasted roll (reminded me of Chinese bakery egg bread). Love that they didn't go heavy on mayo and lobster wasn't mushy, so I could actually taste the lobster and enjoy the texture. Honestly the only thing I wanted more was for the roll to be toasted with garlic butter. For an extra $3, I upgraded my side to the lobster chowder, which was rich and satisfying. I'm glad I got the side, because the appetizer size would've been too much for me. Lobster penne: This was probably the least exciting dish for us. It was packed with lobster flavour, but I wish there were larger lobster chunks to improve the overall texture of the dish. It was quite heavy with the cream-based sauce (so if you're in the mood for carb & cream heaven, go for it). Lobster cakes: Pleasantly surprised by the portion size for the price! Perfectly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and paired so well with the corn and spicy mayo. And we could definitely taste the lobster (so it wasn't just filler ingredients). But the thing that really made the dining experience amazing was the service. The manager made the effort to introduce themself, learn (and remember) our names, and checked in from time to time. This is not a one-off occurrence - my friend said this happened to them too. Can't wait to come back again!

    Was a spur of the moment venture and I was not disappointed. The music first of all was the vibe I needed. In town for Caribana and the grooves of soca and dancehall made me want to get on the table. I picked out with their late night happy hour. Dining alone we surely don't want to spend a lot. I had the mussels and the dragon roll. Both were on point and tasty. The staff was welcoming and communicative. Loved this experience. I'll definitely come back and bring a group.

    My colleague and I walked in on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and found this place recessed and right off the street! We were greeted promptly. As we walked in, the modern rustic ambiance was captivating and warm. Dristy was our waitress, and she informed us that along with her, the bar staff would be serving us. It was nice to see how close this team is. There were multiple waitresses and even the general manager JJ, making sure everyone's experience was absolutely great. I asked Dristy her opinion on either the lobster sandwich or the salmon sandwich and what side she would recommend. With her recommendation, I selected the lobster sandwich with truffle fries, which was a plentiful portion. The service is absolutely worth mentioning, but the food is next level in regard to how fresh, flavorful, and the level of quality put into these meals! The lobster sandwich was so flavorful, cooked perfectly and presented so well. I'm hoping the kitchen staff gets to see this because they are doing an excellent job. I will absolutely come back to this place!

    Mediocre at best, some of the food might have been microwaved for how it tasted. Would not recommend for anything other than the oysters.

We ended up sitting at the bar since we were walk-ins. It is also a very low light restaurant, especially at night. so it might not be the best place for older adults or those who are visually impaired. Service was good, however, we were somewhat forgotten at times since we were tucked away in a dark corner. We ended up ordering the Truffle Fries, the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, the Korean Chicken, and the Vodka Pie. The truffle fries were crisp and plentiful. We added sausage to the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, and it was delicious paired with the pizza. The Korean Chicken were bite sized and flavourful as well. However, The vodka Pie haunts me in my dreams. I think I crave this pizza about every week. The pizza at King Taps has one of the best crusts I've ever had, and the vodka sauce is to die for. It's sad to know that this pizza will rotate out, I'd definitely try it before it leaves! I will be back for the Vodka Pie, mark my words!

They always put the leafs game on when they're playing which is Mae's them a reliable game spot. Over the past couple of years I felt their food quality has slowly declined but today was different. Way exceeded my expectations. We started with a corona zero and ranch water (passion fruit flavour) we were both really happy with it. The didn't skimp on the tequila. We started with the Brussels sprouts which is always a great choice from here. Crispy on the outside and not an overwhelming Brussels sprout taste. This is likely because there is a generous sprinkling of grated parm and a great amount of dip. We tried the crispy tuna sushi. The tuna was beautifully marinated, so flavourful. And the sushi was nice and crispy. The vodka pie was a seasonal item and when we saw it listed, we knew we needed to try it. The sauce- amazing, the press was nice and flaky and light and really tasty. And the soccer Sada added nice saltines and flavour without being too overwhelming. For happy hour, the apps and pizzas were $5 off, and the ranch water was $5. I'd come back for the pizza alone! Jeans was our waitress and she was great!

The place SEEMED quiet but shortly thereafter the place got JAMMED! Initially it was slow service but it picked up shortly. We had several different servers so no single server is tagged here. I will say that it's a hip, nicely equipped restaurant. We decided to do an appie meal. We ordered Sichuan Chicken lettuce wraps ($25.50)..this was the best of the appies. The next was the Crab Dip ($20.75), it was hot but not overly tasty. 3rd was the Hot Chicken Bites with pickles ($16.00). They were ok but not hot in temp enough. The final was the Chili Citrus Calamari ($21.25). This was the worse of the dishes. Simply put, it was cold. The server removed this from our bill. In summary...I wouldn't go out of my way again to go here but given all things being equal, the servers were very good. As a final note...the bathroom was very clean & well maintained.

    I've been wanting to try LOUIX LOUIS for the longest time, so when the opportunity came up to visit…read moreduring Summerlicious, I knew I had to finally check it out. Located on the 31st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, the restaurant has an incredible atmosphere. The dining room is absolutely stunning with a classy and luxurious feel, but it still feels comfortable and inviting rather than too formal. We started the evening with cocktails before moving into the Summerlicious menu. I ordered the "I Only Drink When I Smoke," which was a great way to start the night. It had a subtle smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness, and the alcohol was not overpowering at all. It was smooth, easy to sip on, and the perfect drink to enjoy while having conversations. For my Summerlicious menu, I started with the Tartare de Boeuf and Caviar. The filet mignon tartare was fresh and really smooth, with a nice balance of rich and savoury flavours. The toasted bread also gave it a nice crunch and paired really well with the tartare. For the main course, I had the Roasted Chateaubriand Filet. When the plate was served, the meat looked really rare as I saw nothing but red on the meat, but it was incredibly tender, making it easy to cut through. It was full of flavour, and the sauce complemented the steak without being too heavy or salty. The vegetables added a nice balance to the dish, and the creamy mashed potatoes were smooth, and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal. To finish, I had the Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. It was creamy without feeling too heavy. Though the fruity flavours from the mango passionfruit were a bit tart and sweet for my palate, it still gave an overall refreshing touch. The crust added a nice texture, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service and pacing of the evening. Each course arrived at the right time, allowing us to enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The price point is definitely on the higher end, so it is not somewhere I would personally visit for a casual dinner on a regular basis. However, for a special occasion, celebration, or a night where you want to enjoy a beautiful dining experience, I think Louix Louis would be a great choice... and for $75/ person for Summerlicious/ Winterlicious, definitely a great value to sample the chefs' artistry. Overall, it was a memorable evening with an elegant atmosphere, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and great service. I can definitely understand why this spot has become such a popular destination, and I would love to come back again for Winterlicious!

    Perched high above the bustle of downtown Toronto, LOUIX LOUIS makes a compelling first impression…read more The dining room is genuinely handsome -- a study in polished Art Deco glamour softened by sweeping city views that lend every table a sense of occasion. On a Valentine's Day brunch visit, the atmosphere alone was enough to justify the reservation. The kitchen demonstrates genuine competence: dishes arrive with care, the pacing is unhurried, and the mise en scène -- from tableside presentation to that now-famous thirteen-layer chocolate cake -- reveals an establishment that understands the theatre of fine dining. That towering slice of chocolate cake, in particular, is a masterstroke of marketing and pastry craft in equal measure; it draws the eye, earns its reputation, and very nearly steals the show. Where LOUIX LOUIS gives one pause is in the cuisine's ability to fully match its surroundings. The cooking is accomplished and reliably pleasant, yet seldom rises to the level of genuine distinction one might hope for at this price point. Dishes satisfy without surprising; technique is evident but inspiration, at moments, feels held in reserve. For the corporate traveller or the visitor seeking a polished, geographically convenient showcase of the city's skyline, this represents an entirely sound choice. For those seeking an experience whose flavours linger as long as the view, the kitchen has room yet to grow into its magnificent stage. Service is attentive and well-intentioned, though it can occasionally want for the depth of knowledge that elevates a good meal into a memorable one. LOUIX LOUIS is, in sum, a very good restaurant striving -- not quite yet arriving -- at greatness. The bones are exceptional; one hopes the culinary vision will, in time, catch up with them.

I found myself wanting to try most of the cocktails, which is a rarity. We got the Strawberry Tetsu to start (inspired by Uncle Tetsu's Japanese cheesecake), along with the Cloudy Oolong (tea-based cocktail with a salted caramel cheese foam). The Strawberry Tetsu tasted like a dessert and was delicious, with a graham cracker crumble rim. The Cloudy Oolong had a strong tea taste which I loved, as sometimes the tea can get lost in a cocktail. The foam on top was addicting and paired nicely with it, similar to a bubble tea. Next, I had the Burnt Yuzu which was light and refreshing from the citrus. The bar is hidden behind Misfit Ice Cream, with a speakeasy vibe to the interior.

We walked up to an unassuming entrance that is part of the experience, and once inside, the atmosphere shifts completely. The space is intimate and cozy with dim lighting, comfortable seating, and a relaxed speakeasy vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a couple of drinks. The transition from the street to the interior feels deliberate, and the low-key energy of the room encourages lingering. The cocktail menu leans heavily into Asian-inspired flavors, and that is what makes it stand out. Every drink feels thoughtfully developed rather than relying on presentation alone. We tried the Cloudy Oolong, which was especially memorable with its rich tea flavor and creamy cheese foam that added a savory depth to the cocktail. The Strawberry Tetsu offered a dessert-like profile without becoming overly sweet, balancing fruit and tea notes in a way that felt refined and well composed. Each cocktail arrived beautifully presented and balanced, making it easy to appreciate the amount of care that goes into every glass. The menu is creative without being gimmicky, and the flavors are well integrated, with each drink offering something distinct. The staff were welcoming and happy to explain the menu or offer recommendations if you are unsure what to order. They guided us through the flavor profiles and offered thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Service felt attentive without being overbearing, and the overall pace made it a great place to relax rather than rush through a drink. The team checked in at the right moments and kept the experience feeling personal and unhurried. If you are looking for a cocktail bar that offers something different from the usual classics, After Seven delivers a memorable experience. Between the hidden entrance, intimate setting, and creative drinks, it is the kind of place that is easy to recommend whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for one of Toronto's more unique bars. The balance of atmosphere, craftsmanship, and service makes it a standout in the city's cocktail scene.
