The souvlaki was ok, but the tzatziki was a thin one, not a thick pressed one. The chicken fingers, though, not normally a stand out item were superb. And the prices were completely unexpected. Twenty bucks for lunch? In this city? In this part of the city? That was really shocking. I will absolutely be back again. There's more on the menu to explore, and I intend to keep exploring!

This was a fun spot for casual drinks and dinner…read more Given this was a special event, it was jam packed on the first floor but I was pleasantly surprised with how fast we got our orders taken and how quickly they came out. There was a lot of variety on the menu - I had the Thai Chicken Salad and I actually really enjoyed this! Tasted pretty fresh and the large portion size was very filling. Other standouts at the table included the fish and chips, Cumberland burger and Jambalaya. The prices reflect a typical Toronto pub in this area. There are a few separate floors but one thing I will call out is that it can get really hot in there - especially if you end up sitting right under one of their ceiling pot lights.

Had and opportunity to revisit for a reunion with friends. Like going backwards in a Time Machine. Same decor tables Wow. The other thing that hadn't changed was the wings. Those award winning wing sauces were just as good as I remember. It was 1/2 price night place was lined up, but nobody was trying push us out to turn tables. We all agreed that we thought the wings were even better than we remembered. Service, even packed was friendly and timely. Want to try an independent wing place rather than a chain. Find your way to this place. Right on Yonge str so subway easy to get there. Do it.

The whole vibe is great for people watching in this neighborhood, you get the privilege of having a kind of fresh, open-air feeling while still being comfortably indoors. The staff were good and the cocktails were amazing. Just note that this is definitely a light eat kind of place, perfect for grabbing a drink and an appetizer. It's ideal for holding a quick meeting, catching up with a friend, or even working remotely, which is exactly what I did. The aesthetic is truly memorable. I happened to look up and noticed the cute pictures on the ceiling,the whole decor is something I won't forget and definitely makes me want to go back. A great find!

Very spacious, good for large groups and they have a snug area too. They don't have a breakfast menu & didn't add a one-off menu for the early morning opening so for food, we just chose off the lunch menu. We had the garlic pull-apart bread to start and then around 2nd half, I order the fried chicken burger & the smashed potatoes, and my friend got the chicken tenders and fries. They did have coffee & tea so that was good for an early morning drink! I really liked the fried chicken burger. It didn't have much seasoning on it. Temperature wise it was hot, so ideal to wait to bite into it! The smashed potatoes were fantastic - would definitely order that over the fries any day. They needed salt though, which I added. Those would be great for the poutine or the loaded poutine too!

I would not recommend this restaurant. Toronto is known for…read moreits great food, but this place was a real disappointment. It was extremely busy, with lots of servers and bus staff walking around, yet no one seemed to be taking care of our table. There were too many people involved, but no one was actually providing good service. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. I asked for it to be reheated. Five minutes later, the manager came over, apologized, and said the dish would be removed from our bill. After waiting another 10 minutes, the food came back at almost the same temperature. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the service and the food. Although this restaurant is popular and conveniently located near Yorkville, it didn't live up to the hype. The food felt more like fast food than a quality dining experience. There are plenty of other restaurants in the Yorkville area that offer much better food and service. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant.

This was my second visit to this bistro, and as always, the food was enjoyable overall…read more This time, I opted for the $40 daily special, which consisted of: A salad as a starter (Excellent) For my main course, I had marinated salmon tartare with rice and other garnishes, which I thoroughly enjoyed except for the avocado, which I left on the side of my plate because, in my opinion, it had an unpleasant aftertaste. The atmosphere was a bit too noisy for my taste, possibly because I hadn't made a reservation and was seated near the bar. The table the hostess assigned me hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, and I made sure to point it out. She apologized and roughly mopped up the spilled liquid. Furthermore, instead of offering me a seat at the table she had indicated, the same hostess practically forced me to sit at the table with my back to the entrance (which I hate). Once she left, I immediately changed seats. Despite these minor inconveniences from the hostess, my waitress exhibited a higher level of professionalism, though she unfortunately lacked enthusiasm. It seemed like she was in a hurry to finish her shift. I don't know if I'll ever go back to this place, as I'm eager to explore other restaurants in downtown Toronto.

Some of the sauces and seasonings were a bit heavy, making a few dishes taste stronger than I expected. The drinks are well-crafted, though a few cocktails were on the sweeter side and not entirely to my taste. Service is attentive and polite, though the pace can feel a little formal at times. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a special night out, just keep in mind that some dishes have bolder flavors.

Their Beirut Mule was also great, so much that I would maybe come back just for that. The let down for me was their other dishes, their meat platter was quite bland. I have had much more flavourful and juicier meat at other Lebanese restaurants in the GTA at half the price. Their service was also quite slow and impersonal. Overall, I'd skip the food and get their drinks if the opportunity presents itself.
