First time at Gloria and I gotta give 'em the full monty--5 stars…read more I liked the French brasserie vibes, the classic French bistro menu, and the reduced price martinis during happy hour. Very nice. And I have to say, the only two things I ate--the baby gem Caesar salad and the French dip sandwich with frites--were absolutely perfect in every way. Especially that sandwich. Husband also enjoyed his duck confit. I bet this is a sweet spot for brunch. Bottom line, awesome first experience and we'll be back, bien sur.

They didn't have mimosas on the menu but they were able to make them for us. Eggs benedict on a warm and flaky croissant is such a good idea! The hollandaise was rich and creamy and the eggs were perfectly round and runny. The house fries were really tasty as well on their own. Would come again.

The restaurant is located right in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel in the Financial District, which also made it wheelchair accessable. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, so we were seated right away. The restaurant has a modern French atmosphere with comfy seating, and our server was extremely accommodating, attentive, and friendly. We opted for the lunch prix fixe menu, which offers any two courses for $35. Since we couldn't decide between an appetizer or dessert to go with our main, we were able to add the third course for just $10 more. I started with the mushroom soup, which was super delicious and gluten-free. For my main, I ordered the crispy salmon, which I found to be just okay. The salmon had a bit of a fishy smell when it arrived at the table, which was slightly off-putting, and it was also a tiny bit dry. That said, the dish was otherwise good. For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse, which wasn't overly rich and was a nice way to finish the meal.

They actually have a good selection of champagnes, and our server was knowledgeable. We had a lovely salad, and tried their two tartare options. I can't say that the either of the tatare were good - the quality was ok I suppose, but a lot of people working in kitchens seem to have forgotten what a tartar should taste or feel like.... The frites were fine, and the server surprised us with a welcome to Toronto dessert (we had just moved back). Overall, I would come back for a bottle of champagne and try different items from their menu.

The restaurant is cozy and charming; although it was too hot to sit on the patio, we enjoyed the indoor lounge atmosphere. We ordered the "French Toast", "Soft-Boiled Eggs & Soldiers", and the "Benedict Royal". The eggs and Benedict were good, but the French toast was disappointing. It looked very different from the photos we had seen on Google Maps and the Instagram page. It came with only 3 banana slices, no blueberries at all, and a large amount of salted butter. Even after adding plenty of maple syrup, it still tasted too salty. We were expecting more based on the reviews and photos, so the brunch experience didn't quite live up to our expectations.

The burger was mid and the bun came out burnt. Outside of the happy hour menu, I got the signature ravioli which I thought lived up to the hype. My friend and I were seated at the bar so there wasn't a lot of room to hang up our coats. However, I really enjoyed the natural light at the back of the restaurant.

The steak fell past the way brisket meat separates. The PRAWN AGLIO E OLIO was very good as well. My husband really enjoyed this pasta dish and it was served with 5 prawns. Would we Return? Sure, if we're in the area.

The other reviews about how the slow service and poor quality food are absolutely true…read more A number of tables arrived after us and received their food before us, but they were waiting for a long time too. I observed a manager apologize to some people at a nearby table for the slow service, but we never received a similar (or any) apology. Our toddler is ordinarily very well behaved in public, but he sat in his high-chair for so long that he started to wail. Regarding the food, when it actually arrived, the portions were really small for the prices they are charging. I could have probably cooked something that tasted better at home, and I'm definitely no chef. Overall the place feels very grungy. This was our first time here and we decided that we're not going to be coming back.

My limbs, hands, nose, etc. were ice cold 30min into our dining experience. I could have used a heated blanket or snow suit to dine this place. We brought it up to staff and they basically brushed it off and said they were hot so "too bad." Ordered oysters and they came out completely submerged underwater. No joke, my oysters were floating in a pool. I think they let them sit in the kitchen for a while before they came out. Considered asking for a fresh order (and they offered) but was worried they would just replate them. Asked for them to be removed from the bill. Not in any hurry to come back... like anytime in the next 8-10yrs. If there was a manger around (never saw one - bunch of kids working), maybe it would be better? Who is the adult in charge at this place? Don't waste your time or money. I hope I don't have the double dragon tonight when I get home.
