The ambience is lovely and the seating is exceptionally comfortable--perfect for winding down after a day in the city. Since it's in the hotel, billing is a breeze as you can just charge it to your room. While the food was decent, I did find it a bit pricey for the portion sizes/quality. The staff are very friendly, though the service was a little on the slower side. A solid, easy choice for hotel guests, but perhaps not a 'destination' restaurant on its own.

I've always enjoyed the elegant and modern decors of the cafe on the 1st floor, and Dia Restaurant was just as nice! We made a reservation on OpenTable, and was seating right away when we arrived. We had a cozy booth in the corner with a nice view of the restaurant. Our server was friendly and welcoming :) and the manager also came by to check in on us during our meal. Our server recommended the Mushroom Garganelli, and it was SO creamy good. My partner had the Caribbean Salmon, and she really enjoyed it too, especially that coconutty jasmine rice on the side! The fried pickles with the sweet and chili sauce was yummy too! Overall, a really great experience! I would definitely recommend this spot to my friends and family :)

I will remember to visit Doc's again when I'm in the area again :) so good!

The bar as you enter is cramped and covid-claustrophobic if that's a thing, but since the place was absolutely packed with beautiful women, that made it easier to take! It seemed everyone was happy to be out of their cages and shaking it on the d-floor. That night was an amazing showcase of talent! I had so much fun. It was a celebration of a various artists album called Coverama that my friend John Orpheus was a part of and has the first song spot on the album, and as well was the headliner of the evening's show. There was plenty of room to dance, as well there was lots of room on the stage for the performers. The bathrooms were nice, and should be considering the venue's prominence in Toronto, and were not disgusting as is often the case with these kinds of events. Highly reco'd for your party needs.

We had the winterlicious menu, and shared the shrimp tacos and the wedge salad as an appetizer; the bolognese and the fish and chips as an entree and the banana cheesecake and carrot cake as dessert. The tacos had big shrimps and were big bites, but were a bit bland. Presentation was nice however. The wedge salad was good, would probably rate that a 4/5. The pasta honestly tasted like chef boyardee, and the meat in it was somehow dry even though it was drenched in sauce. The fish was decent, although barely any meat in it, and the fries were nicely seasoned but visibly undercooked. Banana cheesecake was quite nice, but the carrot cake was very dry, not really edible. The staff was incredibly friendly but seemed like they definitely were struggling to keep up. The lychee martini was delicious.

It is located in a nicer but quiet looking area in Toronto. We had the greatest experience, from the moment we were greeted by Theresa to our seats at the bar.

Can be a put pricey but worth the cost since they are catering to your specific tastes when it comes to drinks.

We ordered the bulgogi dumplings, turnip cakes, miso mushroom udon carbonara, mushroom black garlic spaghetti, and the red curry chicken rigatoni. Everything was genuinely great, especially for the price. For a spot so close to the clubs, it's an awesome place to grab food during a night out. We had someone in our group who's gluten-free, and they were happy to sub rice noodles into one of the dishes. It was thoughtful of them to accommodate, but the rice noodles soaked up the sauce too much and clumped together, making it hard to eat. Still, overall the food and experience were solid, and I'd definitely go back.
