To celebrate Gord's birthday, we had supper last evening at Ruby Soho…read more Gord had a wagu burger and fries. It's the first time he's had wagu beef and he said it was good. I had wings with Thai chilli sauce, which were really good. The sauce was sweet with a bit of a kick and the skin was still crispy. Salomé was our server and was very friendly. She surprised Gord with a birthday dessert, which was delicious. Salomé and I had been talking about their jerk chicken dish. Though I ordered wings, she had given me a side of jerk sauce to check out, which was tasty. So tasty that she gave me a container of some to take home. How nice is that!?

My second evening visiting friends in Toronto, they brought me here for dinner. OMG. The food, the…read moredrinks, the service, the ambiance -- all were simply great. Thanks to a couple of the reviews, we ordered -- among other things the spicy rigatoni. Absolutely unbelievable flavor that really wakes up your tastebuds and says, "Delicious, aren't I?" The answer is YES!!! We ordered the truffle fries for the table, which are the best I've ever had and I love truffle fries. I ordered the Sangria Rouge simply because I love a really good one. This met and exceeded all my hopes and dreams. In fact, I would say that that describes this restaurant. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience.

It's dim but they have cool light show during dinner. It's a small place but the food was top tier. Sea bass was phenomenal! Get the whole sea bass and thank me later. The sizzling shrimp was great but they only give you 5. Those truffle mashes potatoes melt in your mouth like butter. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it. It looks like the restaurant turns into a night club later in the night. Great place

The vibe of the patio was great and super lively. The staff were friendly and attentive. They even brought out a water bowl for our dog. We got the burrata Fresca appetizer which was really good. For my main I got the truffle mushroom ravioli, it was good but got a bit too salty towards the end. I also tried a slice of the pepperoni which was good as well. The patio was really busy when we went so I'd recommend making a reservation in advance!

I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend and we enjoyed our meal. We made a reservation for around 7pm, and they took us to the patio outside. I personally prefer being seated indoors, as it can get either too hot or too cold in the winter, but it is quite nice when the weather cooperates. The tables are also personally on the small side so keep that in mind if you're planning to order many appetizers. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and served us quickly. We ordered beef tacos to start. We usually get the fish tacos (which are some of our favourite tacos in the city) but we wanted to try something new. These tacos were great and the sauces were amazing. We then had the Burrata Fresco. It was our first time having this as well and we were quite pleased with it. The cheese was super creamy and went super well with the bread. Usually, the mains take a while to come, especially if you come on a weekend night (this was Father's day weekend, so it took a bit longer than usual) Finally we got to our mains. He had his usual, the Chimichurri steak sandwich, and I got a fish and chips, which i had never tried before. His steak was great and cooked really well. I've had the steak sandwich before as well and it was super well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Do keep in mind they only serve it with one slice of bread, though you can add an additional slice to make it a real sandwich. My fish and chips were good as well. The fish was thickly battered and was a little on the oily side but it wasn't bad. It went great with the truffle fries I ordered. The slaw was purple cabbage, which I think I prefer to the green cabbage kind. The restaurant was kind enough to give us a free cheesecake on the side with a cool flame sparkler for me and my boyfriend's anniversary. It was quite good and we thought is was quite generous of the restaurant. Overall, Taps is a great all rounder place to get food with your family or friends. They serve great pizzas here as well and I haven't had a dish I was disappointed with yet. It is on the pricier side, but if you have the ability to splurge, this is a great place to do so.

Words fail me as I don't quite know where to begin to describe this restaurant. You just gotta go and check this place out yourself. As far as the food is concerned, the dishes are tapas sizes to be shared amongst friends. Here's what I enjoyed: Boneless chicken with pepper jelly. Omg ... so tender, juicy and flavorful. The pepper jelly was the perfect pairing to the chicken. Sansho broccolini. This is the surprise of the night. I am not a fan of broccolini, but this dish was bold in its taste. I loved it very much. Smoked beef tartare. The dish that brought us to this restaurant in the first place. It came to us covered in smoke. Great for boomerang!!! Grilled octopus. A very nice tender dish that's beautifully presented with potato roses. Very elegant. Miso cod. Nice gentle tasting fish. Yum. The service was on point. You can request for drinks to be made to your liking. The server was happy to give suggestions. Great night out. Highly recommended.

They had a limited menu because of the festivities so we opted for the tasting menu. I was blown away by every single thing thay was served to us but my standouts were the broccolini dish (spicy! Beware.) And the zucchini and radish dish (so refreshing and cool after the spicy brocolini). The drinks were delicious, the atnosphere was great and the servers were pretty awesome. Would I go back? Yes. For a celebration. This place was a splurge. A gift for dear ol' pops. We really enjoyed our time here.

This must be the place!…read more Our first trip to Toronto and boy did we have fun. From delicious food to sipping wine, and everything in between, Toronto was a city to explore. Ladybug Wine Bar is a cute but also sophisticated wine bar located on King Street, steps away from shopping and restaurants. We stopped in here on a snowy Sunday before our flight home. They also serve Sunday Brunch. We grabbed a few open seats at the comfy bar. They do not offer wine flights, which made this experience pretty darn expensive but SOOOO worth it. We had such a fun time and the people working were so nice, we honeslty did not want to leave. They were willing to help with our selections. We actually ordered all their Reds by the glass. I know, but there were only about 6 and we had to try them all. I like to say "go big or go home" LOL! We loved almost all except for maybe a few. We ended up also ordering a charcuterie while we sip. And of course I brought a bottle home with me. If you are ever in Toronto, please check out Ladybug wine bar, it is fantastic, you won't want to leave. Cheers!

A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!…read more I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren't too sweet and had the perfect balance. As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy. Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls' brunch or casual date.

Take the stairs to the covered rooftop... a lovely bar with dining booths and lounge seating, all with a perfectly cooled indoor-outdoor vibe. Downstairs, the first floor has a cozy, antique feel with all indoor seating. Food highlights: * Hamachi Crudo: Fresh and nicely portioned, though we wished for a little more citrus and zest. * Beef Burger: Excellent. the bacon jam and aioli take it over the top. * Roasted Half Chicken with chimichurri: Cooked perfectly, juicy inside, ultra-crispy skin, with lemon and herbs adding a bright punch. * Roasted Mushrooms: Generous portion and a win for mushroom lovers. Cocktails are beautifully presented and well-balanced. All around, a great choice for a date night or a larger group looking for something special but relaxed.
