4.5/5 Ended up here while in the area and it was quite busy. Since we didn't have reservations, we were initially seated in the second section of the restaurant, which had a live DJ and more of a lounge or club vibe. It was nice visually but very loud and not what I was looking for. I asked to be moved and the staff were accommodating. The hostess was able to find us a table in the front section, which I appreciated. The front area has a more traditional restaurant feel with dim lighting and music at a reasonable level. You can also see the open kitchen between both sections, which was a nice touch. Service was great and our server gave helpful recommendations. We ordered two margaritas, one smoky and spicy and one mango. Both were good but very different. The smoky one stood out, while the mango leaned more on the sweeter side. For food, the crispy salmon sushi was a highlight. Very fresh and the salmon melted in your mouth. For mains, we had the Tokyo chicken and the steak and sushi. The steak and sushi portion was very large and easily enough for leftovers. The steak itself was cooked well, but I didn't love the sauce it came with and would ask for it on the side next time. Overall, a good experience with great service and solid food. I would come back.

Queens Harbour is definitely a vibe. The space is massive, beautifully designed, and always buzzing with energy. The menu is extensive and clearly designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes--which is likely a big part of its popularity. Between the variety, the ambiance, and the overall customer service, it delivers a strong experience. That said, if you're particular about food execution, you might find the dishes more "good" than truly memorable. I've been twice and tried four different items, and I'm still searching for the standout dish. The cocktail menu--both alcoholic and zero-proof--is impressive, though it leans on the sweeter side. Overall, it's the atmosphere and location that really shine here. Great spot for the vibe, even if the food hasn't quite matched it (yet).

Their OG platter is so delicious! It was the perfect size for 4 ladies and there was a lot of flavour in all of the dishes. Even the simple slider really hit the spot. I was skeptical at first as there have been mixed reviews since they opened a year ago, but from what I saw, they're making a strong effort to come out on a more positive note. The server was funny and the manager even made his rounds and touched our table. The service overall was quick and personable, which I can feel was a conscious effort as there were a LOT of staff around. They have live DJ's on the weekends and it was great atmosphere to be around on a Friday evening. I think this is a great spot if you're planning to stay out in the area late!

I was traveling for work so looked for a place I could enjoy good food and drinks alone at the bar. The bartenders were so welcoming and attentive which isn't always the case for someone eating at the bar! Pasta was amazing and the drinks were delicious and eye catching! The bartenders made every drink with time and care to perfect. One of the prettiest places I ate during a week long visit to Toronto!

Great food at surprisingly reasonable prices for such a prime location. The interior feels very luxurious as well and would be perfect for a date or birthday dinner. I do recommend the platters (OG Platter pictured) as the value is quite good and is a nice display. Some of the appetizers were quite good for our large group as well (truffle fries, dip). I will say most of the food was on the saltier side - especially the calamari and Mac and cheese that was part of the platter. Since we were splitting everything it was okay, but the service was also quite slow and we were desperate for water for a lot of the meal. Not a huge deal but we did expect more attentive service. Our server was funny / nice though. Overall I already plan to be back for my fiancé's birthday as I enjoyed the food and the ambiance.

I've been hearing so much buzz about Queens Harbour that we finally had to check it out and it did not disappoint. We were especially excited to try the Queens Garden, which is separate from the main dining room. The view from the second floor? Absolutely beautiful. It instantly set the mood for the night. Esteban (the AGM) personally walked us to our table, and Jackson took great care of us all evening. I asked Esteban for his starter recommendation, while my girlfriend went with the Mediterranean dip. For mains, we ordered the Chimichurri Sea Bass and the Black Tiger Fettuccine; both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. What really stood out was the service. Esteban and Jackson checked in on us throughout the night, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. I've honestly never seen an Assistant General Manager so hands-on and we loved it. Jackson was courteous, friendly, and always serving with a genuine smile. Easy 5/5 for us. We enjoyed it so much that we're already coming back in March to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday with the family. Can't wait!

Great vibe! Glad we came earlier - restaurant is very popular and we arrived around 5pm and were able to be seated fast without needing to wait. Food is delicious and they have upstairs private seating places.

Love Queens Harbour so much I've been back twice within two months and already planning my third visit here! They have two main dining areas, a queens harbour and the queens garden. They also have private dining rooms upstairs. They're currently having a holiday themed decor in their Queens Garden section and it's absolutely beautiful with all the hanging christmas trees. For their holiday drinks: - The White Passion (non alcoholic), but added a shot of gin on the side. This was a solid 5/5 for me. Absolutely delicious with tropical and bright flavours. - Ferraro Rocher Espresso Martini 4/5. A tad bit too sweet for me but also very delicious on a twist of the classic espresso martini. Our server was amazing during our stay here for the holiday season. Now onto their main dining room and food, from when I visited them the first time. I sat on their patio during the warmer season and it was such a treat - beautiful, clean, and such a vibe! We then moved into the main dining room for dinner. Here's what we had on their regular menu: Fig & Herb Sour 5/5 - Love anything with a delicious egg white top and this was just that! It was tart, jammy, and aromatic. Truffle Umami Fries 5/5 - Fried to perfection. Black garlic aioli was delicious. Topped with parm. Hamachi Crudo 5/5 - Amazing starter. Refreshing, fresh, and delicious. Oysters 5/5 Kalamari 4/5 - A classic that as great for sharing. Could've been a tad more crispy though. Harbour Salad 5/5 - Perfectly paired salad items of kale, spinach, muscat grapes, pickled onion, pistachio, pomegranate, cheese, and balsamic. The flavours blend seamlessly and so great for sharing! Chimichurri Sea Bass 4/5 - Grilled whole and butterflied. Thought this was good, the chimichurri was a bit too intense for my palette though. Queens Crispy Sushi 5/5 - Crispy rice topped with tuna tartar. Absolute YES! King's Ribeye 4/5 - 14oz. ribeye that came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Delicious, cooked perfectly. Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka 4/5 Matcha Creme Brulee 5/5 Tirami-stachio 5/5 - A pistachio tiramisu. A good change from the traditional espresso ones! Overall, I love this place so much! Food is great and consistent. Service is good. Ambiance is what gets me here, I love that they have a patio in the warmer seasons, their main dining hall and their garden section that is so beautifully lit by the natural lighting during the day. Extra bonus that they're having the holiday decor right now! Worth checking them out!

This place is huge! Multi level seating, patio, bar, private. I have sat at Queens Harbour and went to the White Garden as well(here till end of Jan 2026). Both areas have lovely ambiance, it was fairly busy each time I went, so expect to bump into people. Everyone is trying to take photos at the white garden. It can get a little loud but overall I very much enjoyed visiting both times. The food: we tried the calamari and it was probably tastiest I have had. It was fresh, I really enjoyed it. The steak and fries, the green pesto it was paired with was delicious. The pasta was good too. The portions are large so you are definitely getting your moneys worth. I also tried the steak and sushi and I have to say this was my favourite. The sauce on the steak is very tasty, stew was also cooked well to my liking. They have a variety of mocktails as well which we throughly enjoyed. The service: sometimes the staff is very busy, so you either have to find them or wait till they make their rounds. They are very informed on the menu. Also, keep an eye out on the receipt, our table was charged gratuity without our knowledge, so everyone paid double. Manger did correct as it wasn't suppose to be included for a group our size. Parking, they validate parking for 2 hours, it's the lot next door at 235 Queens Quay, very limited street green p parking. Another lot next door (evenings $20ish).

Venue 4/5 Very pretty looking restaurant that is a large opening patio in summer. There are multiple floors and sections of the restaurant. There is a large bar as well. There is parking garage across street. Very limited paid street parking by the Toronto police station. Service 3/5 Drinks were slow to be delivered after order (20min wait at times). Food service was very slow despite the dedicated staff for party room and what seems to be a fully staffed shift. It took an hour for food to arrive in between courses. Food 3.5/5 Tasted alright, nothing too exciting, the salmon was great actually and the steak could've been cooked a bit better as it was on rarer side versus medium rare. The rice cakes were a nice addition. The gyozas were juicy but the truffle sushi felt like a gimmick in my opinion. Will provably try again another time to see if service has improved or if it is still sluggish.

The venue itself is gorgeous! The food was scrumptious as well (and everything was halal!). We ordered the dips of the Mediterranean, steak and sushi and spicy rigatoni alla vodka. The steak and sushi was DELICIOUS (according to my friends) and even the pasta was a very decent portion for the price. The dips were also very flavourful - something I would get again. I will be coming here again! My only downside to this restaurant is that it is quite pricy - but worth the splurge!

Queen's Harbour has been everywhere since it opened, and after visiting, I'd say one thing upfront: don't go without a reservation. Hopefully this gets easier once the initial hype dies down, but for now it feels pretty necessary. The interior really is as stunning as all the influencer content suggests. The ceilings are soaring, tables are nicely spaced out, and there's a good mix of table sizes that makes the space feel polished and intentional. I didn't get a chance to check out the back, but one odd design choice stood out. The bathrooms are located right by the kitchen line, so getting there means weaving through a constant flow of servers picking up and running food. Not ideal. The vibe is high energy and on the louder side, though still manageable for conversation. Service was attentive and polite throughout. At one point, the manager stopped by to acknowledge the tree nut allergy at our table and assured us it was being taken very seriously. It may have been a bit over the top, but honestly, we appreciated the emphasis and care. We ordered the black truffle arancini, tuna stack, miso carbonara, and the Tokyo fried chicken sandwich. Overall, the food was fine but underwhelming for the price point. Nothing really stood out, and several dishes leaned bland, especially the carbonara. The tuna stack was a noticeable step down from the original Cactus Club version, both in flavour and execution. There was also barely anything to eat it with. The lotus chips were sparse, and the holes made them impractical. Wonton chips or even nachos would have been a better choice. I'd give Queen's Harbour another try as they work through their first year, but at the moment it feels like another expensive Toronto restaurant that's more about the vibes than the food. The space is impressive, but the menu still has some catching up to do.

This is quite a large dining venue, which is west of the Harbourfront center on Queens Quay. It's a fairly large restaurant with one large room in the front, another large room in the back with a balcony above it where people can dine as well. This large section in the back currently in December is set up as the Winter Garden. The place is a fairy land of Christmas trees of all kinds of shapes and descriptions and colors. Summer are hanging from the ceiling and some are on the floor. But it's a variable light display and so festive. Food ranges from all kinds of sushi and seafood and then on the land side, it's more focused to Mediterranean or Middle Eastern style of food. Much of it fusion. We decided to try a variety things (mostly appetizers), including whipped ricotta with roasted carrots, lamb and beef kofta, beef Gyoza, fried chicken bites, and Caesar salad. Very good quality food and quite tasty. My favorite thing actually turned out to be the whipped ricotta with roasted carrots. It was delicious. Great ambience and knowledgeable staff. Nice location right on the water. There are parking areas nearby, but you're very close to a streetcar stop right at Rees Street. Put on your festive vibe and go on down!!
