Their Beef patties are frozen out of a box, but they are still good. If you ever have a craving for a beef patty and a ting(Jamaican sprite made with REAL sugar), this is the place. I will note the place looks like its closed. They haven't replaced the piece of plywood covering the broken window in over a year...

Hidden away next to the flower section and Starbucks at Harris Teeter lies this little Chinese-Thai gem. The owners are very friendly and the food is just as good as any authentic Chinese\/Thai takeout place. Sesame beef and Lo Mein is a favorite of ours. You can place your order to go before you do your grocery shopping, then pick it up when you are done. Convenient!!

Before I went to this place, I was under the impression that a fast food, salad assembly line, should be fresh, tasty, and fast. But I was terribly mistaken.
I gave Lettuce Eatery a fighting chance, frequenting the place on many a lunch hour, because nothing healthy was close by. But the place never ceased to amaze me. Despite its many workers behind the counter, almost always outnumbering the clientele, they just couldn't seem to get the food out. Going there was stress inducing because I was constantly having to stop myself from jumping the counter and grabbing the bloody ingredients myself. The only thing that kept me from behaving so erratically was the fact that the choices behind the counter were either wilted, tasteless, or just plain uninteresting.
Unless you are in a self-destructive mood, and feel like trying your tastebuds or giving your patience a real run for its money, the place is just no good.

The inside of this Sushi Garden is pretty spacious, but it's a bit hard to stumble across if you're not looking for it, tucked away in Delisle Court. Even though they have big windows, the only view is of the other restaurants tucked away off the Yonge Street sidewalk.
When I was last here I split the sushi "boat"--an actual boat-shaped serving place filled with an assortment of sushi--with two other people, and none of us came away hungry. At around fifty bucks, that's not a bad price to get stuffed on sushi.

If you enjoy a little people watching with your dining, sit out on the outside terrace and watch Las Vegas tourist walk the strip as they celebrate their winnings or rave about the fabulous Bellagio fountains. As the restaurant is directly across from the fountains, it is also a great place to dine while taking in the free show. The food fits the setting, with a traditional French menu infused with a bit of Vegas penache. We had excellent service..polite, prompt, helpful (great at helping us pick a great wine suited to our selections!) and personal. And by the way, the wait staff aren't above snapping that great snapshot of you and your guest having a good time....it is great to be a tourist!

This is the first place we hit to have our lunch as soon as we arrived at Vegas. Decent chinese food. Ma pao tofu was a little too soft and not much spicy.

Chef Lucciano Pelligrini recently won a James Beard award. What for? He got it for being the man behind the best italian restaurant west of the mississippi. The food here is subliminal. Also, if you can manage to come here for the annual truffle fest... wow.

If it's late and you're near The Mirage, Venetian, or Treasure Island on the strip and have the late night munchies, this Denny's hits the spot!
Recommendations: Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs.

Went there for dinner with some friends. Was quite an underwhelming experience. Don't order the Thai Steak Salad, although my friend said the steak part was fine, the salad part was to us the strangest most un-Thai and unpleasant salad experience we've ever had. Perhaps the desserts are good. You can't really screw up ice cream and bananas.
The patio is a nice place to sit and view the Strip from, but be prepared to catch whiffs of some unusual odors.
And the service is extremely slow. Go only if you have a couple of hours to spare.

EDIT (3\/30\/13): It seems that Tito's has gone pretty downhill, as many of the Mexican restaurants in the Akron area do.
I went there last night, and had a not so great experience. The food was meh, when it once had been extraordinary. It just isn't nearly as flavorful as it once was.
The number of people in the restaurant reflects this. Before, I would have to wait about a half hour to get a table. Now, I can walk right in. On a Saturday night. Plus, when you wake up at three in the morning with a bad stomachache from this food, you know it probably isn't too great.
Maybe it was just the dish I got, but it was once much better than the recent times I have gone to Tito's.
Sorry Tito's, but there are other Mexican restaurants in the area much better and more consistent than you.

Nice beer selection, burgers look good. Little too loud so if you are looking for something quiet this is not the place.
Not a bad place the food was decent but not 100% thrilled with the place. I would come back to watch a game with a buddy, but to have a conversation with my wife was impossible...not saying that's a bad thing :).

It looks like this might be a monthly type of place for me. Being slightly over one month since last visit and with the economy sucking even more, I was curious to find out if the place was still open and if the food was still good.
Yes and Yes
I had the chicken salad on wheat, pickle and kettle chips. Oh and the cookie. The sandwich was good size, plenty of substance and tasted great. The kettle chips were good but I am not a huge fan of chips. The pickle was garlicky yum and the cookie was great.
The staff is really cool. The younger server\/hostess is a little rude seeming but I think it is her parents place. I can't blame her!
See you next month.

thought the sushi rolls were pretty mediocore. though if you're there on a weekday, you really can't beat their happy hour specials. there's also sometimes a dj, which helps keep the place lively.

Soft openings are fun as they give the staff a chance to work through service and food preparation kinks.
On the advice of someone who knows the menu, they suggested I try the smoked salmon benedict. It included a more than generous helping of mashed potatoes, several hot biscuits, smoked salmon that were covered in a fried egg with a spicy benedict sauce.
I tried the Kiwi Watermelon drink with a side of spike and ginormous slice of watermelon. It's served with vodka, but I'm not sure which brand. I should have asked my waiter.
The dessert I tried was the tasty chocolate waffles, scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce were drizzled on top. This was also a dish recommended by someone who knows the menu.
The waffles were just right, not too crispy and not too soft. There was enough for three people and then some. Desserts at Hash House A Go Go are best shared.
The menu has been simplified at this location so some of the dinner items and or appetizers may not be available. They still have a large amount of food though and their portions are huge.
I'm excited to try this location again during normal business hours. I heard that they will be having a happy hour from 4-7pm daily.

Friday night in vegas with no prior dinner plans can be a pain in the you know what. Every damn place had a wait that was a hour longer then it should be. Marrakech is an unsuspecting nondescript store front in a shopping mall just off the strip. It's neighbors include Ruth Chris steakhouse and some tapas place. When you walk in you are stepping into a room with floor to ceiling carpetting and guys in mc hammer pant like costumes. It's a pretty cool and intimate setting. You sit on little couches and eat food with your hands. The meal was good and portions were generous. Later on a belly dancer came out. It was definitely an unusual and fun part of our vacation!

So in a place (at least in this part of the airport) where your starting price for food is $9-10 for something awful, I figured $3 for a bagel with cream cheese wasn't a terrible idea. Of course their bagel sandwiches start at 8...
If you can, go to Wendy's, I'm convinced it's the best option in McCarren.

Fantastic Italian food poolside @ the Palazzo.
-Fresh juices: my favorites were Hot Pink & Bunny Brew.
-Chicken Panini really hits the spot, huge juicy breast, crunchy bread, & sea salt chips.
-Shrimp & White bean antipasti: well executed and flavorful.
A Wolfgang Puck venture.

Worst port of subs. Corporate should close this location because it does not live up to the standard. Prices are expensive but that is expected for airport food. What chaps my ass is the bro working the counter repeatedly asks you what you ordered even though you were very clear and concise. Next up the sandwich, it tasted like cardboard. The bread was left out for days. The meat and cheese were of good quality but the attendant drenched the sandwich in oil and vinegar. All in all the sandwich was a bust, coupled with the poor customer service mark this down as a place to avoid.

This place is pretty sweet! I've been to the Tremont Tap House twice already, and both times I have been really impressed. They market themselves as a "gastropub" serving upscale bar food at reasonable prices. I've had their hamburger which was one of the best I've had in Cleveland -- it can give the burger at Old Angle a run for its money! I've also had their scallops w\/ mushroom risotto which was really good, too. The calamari is served with a delicious spicy pepper sauce, not your typical fried up with pasta sauce deal. They serve hot pretzel appetizers with fresh pretzels from Zoss bakery. I really like how they are taking advantage of local Cleveland products! The beer list is pretty insane (being a Tap House) too.
The bar itself is pretty laid back. There is a long polished concrete bar with booths and tables alongside the walls. Get there on the earlier side to secure a booth or table, because both times I have been there the seating has been full. I can't speak for the men's room, but the women's room is beautifully done with tile and modern fixtures and very clean. The service is very friendly and attentive.
The only thing that needs improvement is their website -- a real domain name is in order!

Je ne comprends pas les premiers avis qui ont été rédigés. Puisque le Bevo n'est ouvert que depuis quelques semaines, j'ai décidée de ne pas laisser la note globale m'influencer et de l'essayer quand même. J'en suis bien contente. J'y suis allée en fin de semaine pour un souper de famille pour ma fête. On était 12 et le resto a pris notre réservation à peine quelques heures avant. Le décor de Bevo est vraiment cool! Des chaises transparentes qui pendent de l'escalier, un bar avec une lueur rouge intrigante, des murs de pierres et de brique non recouverts et des tables de bois font de cet endroit un de ceux avec les designs les plus cools de Montréal. Côté cocktails, ceux auxquels j'ai goûté sont très bons sauf que la Sangria Campari goûte beaucoup plus comme un Mimosa... Les pâtes sont cuites "al dente" et elles sont parfaites. Les sauces sont toutes très bonnes mais la rosée est vraiment la meilleure. On a pris qu'une seule pizza, celle à la roquette, et il manquait un peu de goût mais en même temps, c'était un bon contraste aux pâtes. Et le service et vraiment super bien. Nos serveurs, John et John, nous ont fait rire, ont tout emmené dans un bon délai sans jamais se tromper à savoir quelle assiette allait à qui. Ça été une belle soirée et ça m'a donné le goût d'y retourner pour passer du temps au bar du premier étage pour un bon cocktail après une longue semaine de travail. Bravo Bevo!

Be still my heart. Destiny has taken my breath away with its beauty and has won me over with their early evening special.
On weekdays from 5:30 - 8:30pm, there's a $7.95 special - approximately 10 entree items to choose from and this great deal INCLUDES milk tea or green tea. What a steal! Regularly the items are priced between $6.99 to $8.99 and tea prices starts from $3.99. Entrees include Cantonese chow mein, rice with eggplant & minced pork, tom yum seafood soup, pork cutlet ramen soup, and more.
Alluring interior design, modest costs and convenience - there's free wi-fi, but not available on weekends and stat holidays (as it's too busy to accommodate demand). Though I still feel Destiny is in my cards as a regular uptown hangout.
How I've turned my back on bubble tea for so long, but now I'm back baby! And with a vengeance! No matter how far you are, I will drive the distance for you and I'll return sooner than you think...
However, I can't help but feel you're holding back and the best is yet to come. And for that, you're a 4 star for now. But I can't wait to see what the future holds... Destiny you have made me a happy girl! And I WANT YOU RIGHT NOW!

Deer Garden, a Vancouver Based franchise just opens their first location in Ontario.
Specialized in fish broth based rice noodle soup and other Hong Kong Style Cafe offerings is quite decent. The menu is not as extensive as what they offers in BC but is a good start.
Noodle Combo ($8.25) with your choice of Soup Base, Noodle, Toppings and Drinks.
My Choice : Original Fish Soup+Rice Noodle+Sliced Beef+Fish Tofu+Milk Tea was good, didn't wow me though. I found the fish broth is a little watery and light. Portion is good as a snack unless you add some more toppings ($1.25) or order side dishes. Side dishes are $1.75 each and you can pick up to 2 .
Side Dishes: Pan Fried Sausage Slices w\/Honey and Desert Wings with Ginger. The chicken wings are good size and meaty and I do love ginger!!
Aside from Noodle, there are also other options: sandwiches, snacks and steamed rice.
Steamed Rice Combo only offers during lunch and dinner for $6.50 includes a drink.
Steamed Rice: Minced Pork Cake on Rice can make anyone that loves rice jump for joy as there is 2 full bowl of rice in an order.
Vegetables & Mushrooms in Fish Soup ($5.95) was also a good choice if you want to eat more healthy.
Deer Garden is a good choice if you want something light and fast. Nothing here is too fancy or over $10! The vibe is young and full of energy, I can see it will be a popular place for young people to have a quick bite or to hang out.
Cash Only!

This hot pot restaurant is located near the Sheraton Parkway \/ Host Restaurant. We happened to pass by this restaurant, and saw the hot pot sign. So, we decided to try it.
We all liked the food. They give you a choice of "pick your own menu" or "all you can eat". We picked the AYCE option. there were a lot of options to choose from: Beef Ribeye, Beef Brisket, Pork, Meat ball, fish ball, tofu, vermicelli, spinach, napa cabbage, etc... that's just to name a few... they have tons of options. make sure you don't over ordered. we ordered a bit much, and got so full by the end of the meal. it's easy enough to order extra if you're still hungry
the soup came in different options also: clear \/ spicy \/ satay \/ pork bone etc... we got the pot with two broths options - spicy and pork bone.
we also got the seafood platter option. it came with shrimp, oyster, scallops, salmon, geoducks, etc..
One negative that I can think of is wine. They only let you order wine by the bottle. They didn't let you order wine by the glass. :(
The other negative is that they only accept visa and mastercard. No american express is allowed.
I highly recommend this place.

3 Brewers though is a franchise but maybe the only Brewery Pub in the area.
Disclaimer: I was lurked in by the promise of free tasting of every single beer on tap and a neighborhood beer which is unique to each location.
Since it just opens yesterday, everything is new including all the staff. Excited and eager to please.
Great spot to come for a pint or 2. And of course some snack too!
Neighborhood Beer is Postal Farmhouse Ale (Richmond Hill)

The restaurant is an offshoot of the Chase, so I had high hopes that were quickly dashed. This is no fast food joint; expect to wait 10 minutes or more for your meal (or call ahead). When I finally received my Mahi with crispy potatoes and slaw, the potatoes were fried crispy and light, but the slaw, fish, and fancy sauce felt like they were painted all with the same brush. If anything, the 'fancy sauce' channeled much less uni and umami, and a lot more thousand island and tartar sauce.

I grabbed some dinner to go. Coconut chicken mushroom soup and Chicken Pad Thai for me. Cashew Chicken and coconut rice for my colleague. Both meals were great! I waited maybe 10-15 minutes for our order to be ready. The restaurant is clean. The staff are friendly. The prices are comparable to other Thai restaurants.

A private dinner party for my relative's great milestone 90th birthday was held at Paradise. It was indeed paradise with a traditional Chinese style twelve course formal banquet dinner. Quality of food is very fresh and cooked with care in Chinese Canadian fashion. Waiter staff are courteous and friendly to welcome patrons. Paradise comes with their own private parking lot. Business cards are printed on clear vellum, cover stock of 48 lbs.
I highly recommend reservations for large private parties. Paradise Fine Chinese Dining's phone number: (416) 490-8828.

Finally a decent ramen shop in uptown. Taste very similar to downtown location with a lot more seating spaces. Attended friends and family night for soft opening and the shop was pack. You can choose between thin or thick noodle and the egg was perfectly boil. Really looking forward to try the tomato soup base & will come back and order Asahi Black :)

I came here on opening day for lunch with my vegetarian friend (who, incidentally, has written a review for this restaurant before me). Decor was beautiful and light.
I love the large open windows and single bar-style seating they have. The open kitchen, where you can see the chefs cooking, is a great authentic touch. My friend and I were seated at a booth table and we really loved the way the staff were friendly and engaging. Very awesome to walk in amidst shouts of "welcome!" or "irrashaimase!" (Japanese for welcome)
We ordered tonkotsu shoyu ramen. Unfortunately, no vegetarian-friendly options available at this restaurant, but perhaps they will add it in the future! Gyoza is very affordable as well.
The noodles were chewy, the soup was filling and flavourful, the beansprouts crunchy, and the tonkotsu was delicious. I didn't finish my whole meal and it was definitely very satisfying, but soup was a little too rich for me. Compared to other ramen places in the area, I find that you get more value for your money at this restaurant.
I just hope that this place stays! :D Definitely a must-go for the cold winter months coming up! Everyone thanks you as you leave, so you know you're really appreciated!

The food is authentic and delicious (we had vegetarian moussaka, eggplant, beans, etc.), but somewhat overpriced. Dining experience was okay.
Reason for two stars was that the server gave my veg girlfriend a non-veg moussaka, and did not handle the situation well, at all. Unfortunately, moussaka (quiche-like) is one of those dishes where the first time you realize there is meat in it, is after it is in your mouth.

Fried. Chicken. Sandwich. What a clever idea eh? The owner of this joint combines 2 pieces of toasted sweet breads (brioche, I think) and neatly nestled in between lies a good sized fried chicken thigh - we ordered a classic spicy sandwich (pretty spicy, but in a good way) plus coleslaw and pickles $6.50.
To sum it up, it was delicious and we'd definitely come back again when sneaking in goodies into the Royal. Meow.

For Chinese pastries, this one appears to be a hit. There are always a room full of patrons slurping coffee and eating some of the sweet and savoury goodies offered at the "Desserts Garden".
After doing some shopping at Chinatown Centre, this is a good place to stop off for a snack. However, they close pretty early, so by 6pm, there were few options left. I circled the cases a few times before discovering a sweet bit of yum. A mochi-filled with sweet peanuts. This was the perfect golfball-sized snack and filled with super sweet peanuts. I have also had the pineapple buns, and red bean beans which are a little greasy and buttery, which may be just the best way.
Also sell a variety of lightly iced cakes and asian 'sweets'.

For the record: This is the original location of the restaurant formerly- known-as- Burrito Boyz. The original two owners who created the deliciousness of a Toronto-style grilled burrito have split up. One kept the original name, one the original location. So, now we have Burrito Boyz on Adelaide (boo!) and Burrito Bandidos underground off Peter Street in club land (yeah!)
This place is still the best, despite all the imitations around town. I hope nothing but the name changes- fresh ingredients, fun staff, massive burritos stuffed with said fresh ingredients.
Keep it real.

I have been numerous times since they've opened this location. I've been to American locations and while this one is a little more cramped than I'm used to, I've found the service to be just as good.
The girls behind the counter were very helpful in making suggestions and patient while I thought about what I was going to order. One even reminded me that I had a free baked good if I wanted to use that as I was contemplating a dessert.
The prices are a little high, but with the Urban Eatery opening at the Eaton's Centre, it's all a matter of time when we start paying more for everything. Sandwiches are absolutely delicious and the salads are to die for. And what is great is that you can get a half salad and half sandwich which are actually big enough to fill you up for a whole meal, plus you get a bag of chips or an apple as a side.
I also love how spacious the upstairs is and how if you want private seats you can be nestled in a corner but if you have a large group there are large tables for people to sit at. Perfect for studying or doing work, as there is free wifi and a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere around you.
I couldn't be happier that they've opened up on Yonge St. and plan on making repeat visits.

Decent solid place, with a good attitude. No-nonsense mall-style Chinese food in this clean and swanky new fast food eatery. It's just off the main drag of Chinatown, Spadina Avenue and Dundas, but far enough along Dundas to blend in more with the Alexandra Park neighbourhood, rather than the hustle and bustle of the spine of Chinatown. Combo 1, 2 or 3 means you get a choice of levels of price, with the top end at $4.50. Start with delicate Cantonese fried rice with layers of egg, or thick noodles in soy sauce, and move to the vegetables, long green beans, or broccoli covered in garlic, maybe cauliflower in a white sauce, then progress to the meat dept. Chicken, beef, pork, or fish, your choice and they're savoury and delightful, with the choice difficult given the attractive presentation under the glass. Delicately breaded shrimp, thin slices of beef with a dark sauce, thin fillets of salmon, all ready for the slinging. This is a blue collar lunch, worthy of chowing down if you have worked hard all day and deserve it. The portion is huge and satisfying. Friendly staff, with a hearty, NO PROBLEM! shouted out to me from them a few times, and well worth the deek off the main drag to go to Yoo J.

El Gatto Nero means "The Black Cat" in Spanish and I dig it.I have friends from out of town who are super devoted tot his joint, which is usually how I end up there. It's great eating for the price. The bar is lively for both dinner and drinks and there's plenty of tables and most important, the 905 factor is low even on a Friday night on College St.

Super Point Hack: How to Enjoy a Non-Libretto-or-Get-Well Pizza and Beer on Ossington:
1) Food: Wow, what a refreshing selection on the Ossington strip! Appetizers (warm olives, rice balls, shrimp and pork spring rolls, tomato bruschetta, grilled bread, beef carpaccio, burrata and peach, stracciatella, garlic and shrimp, king crab salad) range from $4-20. Soups and salads (soup of the day, caesar salad, tomato salad, grilled radicchio, beets on beets) go for $8-12. Pastas (lamb vavatelli, beef reginette) are about $15-16. Mains (quail saltimbocca, chicken parm, cheese burger, whole trout, 20-ounce ribeye) range from $12-85. Pizzas (cheese, pepperoni, peppers and gorgonzola, capicollo and olives, nduja deluxe) are about $12-17. Sides include the cheesy garlic bread for $7 - we tried this and it's sinfully delicious!
2) Drinks: sparkling, red, white, amber, and rose wines (too many to list!). Cocktails range fron $12-16. Beers (Woodhouse Lager, Asahi Dry, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Bench Sessions Ale, Rochefort Trappist, Beau's Lugtread, Sawdust City Lone Pine IPA, Bench Mosaic Dry Hop, Left Field Coffee Porter) are $6-12 but most are $9. Soft drinks include cola, fanta, grape, strawberry, pineapple, all $6 each. Caffeinated drinks include expresso, americano, cappucino, latte and teas, from $4 to $5.
3) Space: the space holds about 40 hipsters (but there's a takeout window too) with about 10-15 tables and 10 seats at the bar. The pizza oven, where you can watch the pizza makers do their magic, is at the front of the bar while the washrooms, graffitied in cool pizza-themed designs, are in the back, also near the main kitchen. Show up early because there can be a line to get it - not as long as Bang Bang, but it does get busy.
From the creators of Bar Fancy (Chef Jonathan Poon), Super Point is a super cool snack bar perfect for an ice-cold beer and a pizza pie. It's at 184 Ossington, which is right next to Rashers. Look for the neon electric SUPER POINT sign and the takeout window. Its vibe is more upscale than Get Well but less formal than Libretto. Perfect for 2 or a large group of friends, Super Point is easily a classic hotspot for beer, pizza, and good-times along Ossington. Check out the coasters, they're wicked!

BEST BURGER I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Seriously.
Originally when this place was in the process of opening, I thought it was going to be a meat store. Which was fine and everything, but I'm ecstatic that it is what it is -- an awesome local joint with phenomenal food, and a great place to grab a drink.
Inside, it's very cottage-y -- a wooden picnic table down the centre of the restaurant will do that. Everything else, from the pictures on the walls to the dim lighting, makes it feel really cozy and warm. On that note, try to stay away from the door on a cold night, it can get quite chilly and will make your burger sad.
And the burgers. They have a menu filled with a page of burgers, as well as comfort food like Mac & Cheese, and even a couple salads. But it's the burgers that I am craving already. They're cooked to perfection, and they're made with the perfect amount of pepper and spice -- they've definitely got a bit of kick to them, and I love that. I ordered the Ossington, which had a portobello mushroom, mixed greens, and a tomato. Sounded on the skimpy side for toppings (I'm used to my burgers being a foot high) but you don't want anything to take away from the flavour of the patty itself. Trust me.
Their poutine is definitely worth eating too -- it had amazing cheese on it, and their gravy was too good to be out of a package.
All in all, this place is my new favourite burger joint. It already looks like it's pretty popular, and it's been open less than a month, so expect line-ups in the near future. But I would wait in any line to have that burger again...and I hate lines, but I love these burgers.

It's opening day for Lucky!
Tough when the machines are down so cash is all for today.
Busy for a new place. If you are familiar with banh mi boys the space and many are familiar. Pork belly, crispy fish, BBQ pork, cheese steak, fried oyster and spam.
All served on a a baked or steamed bao
I've been waiting forever how's 30 minutes so far for a steamed bao fried chicken? Ridiculous.
People that order after me already received their food.
Customer service would go far here but the question is does it matter to them?
They have some kinks to work out.l

This is the newly-opened sister-restaurant to "Easy" in Parkdale. I had heard good things about the original location, so I was excited to learn they brought the popular brunch spot to my 'hood in Little Italy.
Went on a Sunday morning, and promptly seated ourselves at a table. Place wasn't overly busy which was a nice surprise considering I've witnessed some long lineups outside this spot in the past couple weeks.
I ordered the French Toast Croissant. Presentation was nice, and it was an interesting & unique take on the common breakfast option, BUT.....in taste and portion size, it fell flat. Nothing about it really jumped out at me. The Peanut Power Smoothie was delicious though, and filling, which made up for the hunger left behind by the french toast.
My partner-in-crime ordered herself the Breakfast Quesadilla. She found it overly salty and couldn't bring herself to finish it.
I'm unsure if the hype surrounding Easy raised my expectations too high, but I was a little let down. I really wanted to be "Wowed"! Instead, I was "meh'd"
Left having paid $47 after tax\/tip for our two dishes, a smoothie, and coffees (CASH AND DEBIT ONLY!). Given the other options close by (saving grace), I'm not too certain I'll be back any time soon.

This place is so popular that you are almost guaranteed to wait in line for breakfast. Already, that sorta sucks, but the people at Boom know how much waiting sucks, and they make up for it by every so often coming around with samples of muffins. At least you don't have to starve while you wait.
When you finally get to take a seat, I must say that I've often been annoyed by how slow the service is. I mean, sure, it could be much worse, but when you sit there for 15 minutes before someone comes to take your order, you quickly realize why there's always a line.
And finally, the food. It's good. I can't deny it. I've come back here because the food is really worth it. Granted, not the best eggs I've had, but their potatoes on the side are easily the best I've had with breakfast.
If it weren't for the wait, I'd probably be here more often.

Gobo is right around the corner from where we live and after we moved in Feb 1st, we checked it out and it proved to be pretty satisfactory! The service was great -- there's always this really nice young Asian male waiter who is sort of shy but really polite and attentive. On top of that, the quality is pretty banging for the price. You see a lot of sushi places at this tier who love to overstuff their sushi rolls with rice and it ends up filling you far too quickly. Thankfully this place isn't like that. We like to get the sashimi and make platter 2, but my boyfriend has also tried the black cod which is excellent. All the fish is fresh as well! It's not like the best sushi you're going to get in Toronto but it's priced decently and at this end of the city, it's pretty much the only place open within walking distance.

I don't know if I met Rudy, but whoever served me was very nice.
The meat is good in a crumbly way and the tomato is key. Very good tomato.

I grew up on FIlipino food, so when this place opened up in Kensington Market, I knew I had to drop by and visit. Tito Ron's is Filipino food with a twist - Filipino-Caribbean fusion, unique, with a menu offering a number of sweet and savoury options (check their website to see what they're offering that day). In short, I loved it.
Located in a building that houses a group of food stalls (the same one that has Pancho's Bakery for churros), we dropped by on a Friday evening after dinner to pick up something sweet for dessert. We ordered a tray of Ube Spring Rolls (4 pieces). For those unfamiliar, Ube is a form of purple yam that's sweet and often used in Filipino desserts. The spring rolls were topped with a mix of mango condensed milk and crispy bits of plantain chips. We absolutely loved it - it was sweet, crunchy, with various textures and made for a really enjoyable after-meal treat.
Tito Ron's recently opened a couple of weeks ago, and they have great variety to their menu. On top of sweet spring rolls, they also have savoury spring rolls (stuffed with jerk chicken, channa, etc.), and actual meal offerings ("ulam") like tocino, spam, lechon, etc. Looking forward to trying out the rest of their menu!
For a tray of 4 pieces of Ube Spring Rolls, we paid $5.00. There's seating at the back of the unit to enjoy your meal. Also, tip: they're closed on Mondays.

A little touch of Sweden on Kensington.
Bright, cozy. kid-friendly cafe.
We had a chocolate chip cookie and the lemon curd ice cream sandwich. Both were light and tasty. Good Illy cappucinos. We loved the Le Creuset mugs. Friendly staff.
They also have ginger snaps, macarrons and crossiants but didn't try them .. yet.

This place is dope. Great prices and the Vegan Pho was fantastic. I'm not Vegan but my girlfriend is and we both agreed this is the best Vegan Pho we've had in the city to date. I highly recommend!

Our party of seven had a great meal of pints and po'boys, complete with an array of sides (carrot salad, rice and beans, salad) and the okra 3-ways appetizer. For the $12ish each that we spent on the po'boys, we thought the portion was acceptable given the cool atmosphere. Our party tried all the po'boys except oyster, including crocodile, and there wasn't a disappointed face in the bunch. I sampled both the beef and shrimp and would opt for the shrimp.
We had no problems getting a walk-in table for seven around 7:00pm on a Saturday but your luck on that will surely vary. The draft beer selection of 7-8 taps included Blanche de Chambly and Okanagan, but felt a bit ho-hum. Mixed drinks seem to be their specialty (specifically absinthe). We didn't stay for Blues, but would come back to do so. I've eaten several times at Southern Accent (http:\/\/www.yelp.ca\/biz\/southern-accent-restaurant-toronto) and would love to see this place expand their menu to add some other Cajun mains, but it just opened.

The concept of pizza with Naan as the crust is mind blowing in my opinion. I'm obsessed with Naan, so when I heard that Kalendar served Naan pizza, I was all over that like a stripper on a pole.
I only took a quick look inside, but it definitely had that cafe like feel, with dark woods. Joe and I grabbed a seat on the patio, which was fairly large, and had the added bonus of bench seating around the perimeter.
Joe and I decided it was too hot to indulge in some adult beverages, so we opted for the limonata instead. It was nice, but a little too bubbly for me.
For my entree I decided on a Naan pizza with goat cheese, chicken, pesto, and I think artichokes, but I can't remember 100%. It was good, but I wasn't blown away by it. Granted the flavors were nice, but the Naan was a little flat. I've definitely had better Naan in other places.
While I probably wouldn't come back here on my next visit to Toronto, if I lived in Toronto, I would come back here to try some of the different options they have.

A great addition to Baldwin, French food for less money than Bodega but not lacking in quality. Although cheaper than Bodega in general it's not what I would call a cheap meal.
It's brand spanking new replacing Thai Paradise, and while Thai Paradise didn't seem to utilize their patio well, Elle M'a Dit's patio quickly rises to one of my favourite patio's on Baldwin. It's small but has a great mix of tables in the shade as well as in the sun (this is at dinner time I'm talking about). You can also bump free WiFi from TAN which sits next door if you're on the patio :)
The menu changes daily and from lunch to dinner, which is a great treat and they do a lot of prep work on their meat in house. I didn't pull out all the guns in my visit in terms of ordering some of their pricier items, I did have their gazpacho with shrimp ceviche which was just what I needed on a warm summers day. It was also pretty chunky so you chunky haters best stay away. But for $8 I did find the price a little steeper than it should have been, but I still highly recommend it. My main dish was their Tarte flambée (a flatbread dish) with gracious amounts of brie, bacon and oil and finished off with a delicious black tea crème brûlée which I thought was a little small on the portion front but then again, better to have just the right amount of dessert than stuffing yourself. The rest of the menu looked very interesting, pricy but I have a feeling it might be worth it to treat yourself.
The waitress was very friendly and professional and overall I don't have a lot of negatives to say about this place.
But French food is high quality food in small portions, sort of pretty much sums up my experience here.

I came to this place right after a vacation from Mexico so I was still seeking that authentic Mexican flavour (not Taco Bell). Suffice to say that this place was really Rancho Relaxo! They do a very nice job with the decor in making it seem like you are in Mexico and the music definitely helps a lot.
We went with a big group and I liked most of the foods I tried and I know most of my friends did as well.
If you're looking for good homestyle Mexican food then this is a good place to go. The only problem is that most of the time it is rather empty (although it is a large place so its a bit hard filling it up) and the service is decent, not the best but I can't really complain too much about those.

A wonderful venue for musical adventures over beer. You can always peek from the street, as the back of the stage is at the window. The intimate setting is good for softer acoustic shows on quieter evenings. On a loud day outside, there better be heavy metal inside or you won't hear much.
Unless you're a local literati-hyped artsy type who doesn't mind the John Cage \/ Marcel Duchamp sound fusion of inner and outer worlds.
Mostly contemporary western culture sounds. The place next door hosts Rastafarian gatherings and they all live in harmony.

Came here on a weeknight for a workshop. I had a real blast. The studio is very nice, bright, with lots of aisles, and a paint and brush station to grab supplies... the staff were friendly and gave me useful tips on how to blend my colors and encouraged me to experiment with different brushes. After three hours, I created my first master piece! I felt like I need a bit more than 3 hours because I wasn't able to finish painting but that's okay. It was also cool to see how everyone was painting the same picture but everyone's painting came out differently with unique takes. I also like their drink and snack choices. I ended up with a red roobios and gnger tea which is delicious! I definitely want to go back and try another workshop soon!

The warm and inviting atmosphere at this brand new Scottish pub is a whisky lover dream. Plus, it's the only place in the city where I've ever seen haggis on the menu... I'm still working up to trying the haggis but I'll report back once I do.
This bar might just breathe some new life into this strip of College Street that was previously home to not much more than several vacant shop fronts and the less than stellar Black Knight.

Today at 1pm the best thing ever happened. A second Northwood location, Northern Belle, opened near my house.
I used to live near Northwood and frequented it far too often. I had my first coffee of the day there, I used their wifi for hours on end (some work, some wikipedia spiraling) and then would transition into night with a cocktail around 5pm. I can't fucking wait to start to do the exact same thing here.
Same candlelit-wooden vibe, incredibly curated cockatil list and amusing cast of characters. This time with a patio a stone's throw to Trinity Bellwoods. A goddamn delight.

I ate here twice the summer it opened (about two years ago). It may have improved since, but I don't plan on finding out. I never finished anything I ordered. The bouillabaisse was inedible--bland, and I suspect not too fresh. I also had to send back a steak, which was a first. I don't expect a flat iron to cut like a strip loin, but this thing was a solid slab of gristle. Couldn't cut it, much less chew it. And they had the gall to price it like a prime cut. That's what I felt like on both visits--these people must think I'm the dumbest SOB on two legs. They won't get me a third time.

From the owners of Torito Tapas comes Carmen - a Spanish restaurant serving up some delicious comfort food and tapas.
They have a short cocktail list with a few beers and wines. The decor is quite eclectic with Royal Doulton-esque figurines along the wall. The open kitchen is in the middle of the kitchen.
Started off with the Fried Green Tomatoes topped with a too-tart red pepper, feta and corn chutney.
Next was the Avocado in Jicama - pureed avocado that's perfectly seasoned and sprinkled with fried tortilla bits in a Tostitos Scoops like jicama. Delicious!
For our daily veggie intake we opted for the Kale Salad with toasted pine nuts, raisins, Ricotta Salata. This was topped with a fried quail egg that could've used some seasoning. The salad overall was enjoyable.
For our main we shared the Paella del Carmen - scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp, chicken and chorizo. No regrets here! Loved scraping up the rice crust from the bottom of the pan and the chicken and sausage fats really flavored the dish nicely. The seafood was cooked perfectly - not one thing was overcooked.
For dessert (3 options total) we decided on the Atole- a saffron infused milk and sugar dessert "beverage" served with an almond-pecan biscuit.
The damage was about $90 before tax and tip but I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

good, cheap korean and japanese food. the takeout menu is really cheap and grange park nearby is a great place to have a "picnic"... eat-in prices are still less than most restaurants and the waitstaff is pretty attentive. spring for the white meat chicken for the teriyaki, it's worth the extra fee. and don't bother with the dumplings, they're not very good.

the perk is that its cuddled within main streets and a hop skip from withrow park. this place was very relaxed when i passed by before five pm on a friday, with a couple of ladies sitting on their white couch, one of them breastfeeding (hey you notice these things - boobs are boobs man.)
i wanted to sit down and get a cappuccino right away but had no time and so after a little photo session with my battery-eating hunk-a-junk i call a camera and the perks inner sanctum i called it quits and came back a few hours later when it was not only still chill, but romantic.
this place gets 6 stars for ambiance - there were chandeliers tuned with the lights held low and candles flickering as gaelen, the barista silently played as i walked inside. it was just me and him and it was a great opportunity to afford me time to get to know the place and the kind of folks that run it. well, gaelen was clearly an interested and intelligent guy and a breeze to shoot the breeze with. he gave me a little background about the history of the place (originally owned by another, reclaimed by the current owner to great effect).
i ordered a double shot cappuccino that arrived in the same size takeout cup that would feature a latte. as per gaelen the size of cup is not what matters but what you put in to it. in other words, there are different combinations of foam, milk and espresso that go into a cappuccino versus a latte. so this place has its own take. the coffee was fine, nothing too rich, but enjoyable.
what floored me, in addition to their soothing locale was one of their desserts...or late lunches?...which happened to be in the form of a blueberry coffee cake. it was like a mini loaf of bread filled with a little coffee, blueberry and love. it was made there and was worth the 3 bucks i spent on it.
in terms of price, this place is not cheap. the cappuccino was about 4 bucks which is expensive considering i can get an organic one on queen for 3 and a quarter. though this place feels like a place id prefer relaxing in.
so its an ever bobbing scale as all coffee shops are. its good to know that its close by, near a wonderful park and also a place for a seemingly good and relatively inexpensive lunch and brunch, one day soon to be devoured.

Yet another brand new dim sum joint in Chinatown. Not complaining though. But there is already a lot of competition to go around.
3 stars as quality is pretty good, comfortable environment albeit with a limited dim sum menu. Being just recently opened, everything looks clean and new. Was there at 11am on a Thursday and we were the only customers there at the time so service was spectacular.
With nice instrumental Chinese music in the background, our dim sum came fairly quickly one after the other. Their menu though, is rather limited with 44 items. Some standard dim sum items are missing such as egg tarts, tofu flower (silky tofu with syrup), beef rice rolls. However there are some unique items such chicken feet with taro and siu mai with a twist - scallop instead of shrimp. Both are flavourful and delicious though I did not taste much taro flavour in the chicken feet. Another unique item are the veal ribs. If you like popcorn chicken, the kind that you can find on the menu at tea shops, they have that under 'deep fried chicken'.
3 items for dessert - Mango pudding, sticky rice pastries and tapioca pudding. Tried the tapioca pudding and they were about the same as the ones offered at Rosewood with a custard filling with a mild sweetness. Tapioca was a bit chewy though.
$2.30 for S\/M\/L and $3.95 for XL dishes and it's supposed to be all day Mon - Sun.
It's worth a try.

A friend and I work in the Spadina & King area and have walked past the What A Bagel Eatery several times to witness them in the midst of construction and renovation the past few months. Last week, we noticed what seemed like customers eating there but a great big sign that reads 'Grand Opening - April 24th, 2012' led us to believe that it was by invitation only.
Yesterday, we decided to walk in to check the place out and it turns out that the owners were opening up their restaurant and giving away FREE (I love anything free!) food for 2 weeks to promote their business, to give consumers a taste test, and to garner some feedback. So here's MY feedback:
Environment: Any place that is newly renovated always looks nice and inside What-A-Bagel Eatery was no exception. More than the furniture though is the friendliness of the staff. The owner, Isaac was shaking hands with new customers and really seemed to go out of his way to ensure that his customers were happy. The servers were also great, I think she introduced herself as Vanessa if I recall and she was super helpful with menu selection.
Food: I ordered the Chophouse Burger, steak topped with horseradish cooked to perfection inside a bagel bun. Wow these bagels.... is all I have to say! They were even kind enough to allow everyone to take home some bagels. My friend ordered the Dizengoff burger and enjoyed his meal as well. They also serve a wide selection of breakfast for early birds.
Price: I believe I overheard the owner saying the price point would be $9-$13 for lunch but there are many things on the menu that are cheaper too.
I decided to give this place 5 stars not only because the food is great, but the entire experience was wonderful. What-A-Bagel Eatery is a place I can see myself stopping by a few times a week on the way to work.

I had lunch today at Double D's on Dundas Street W (just east of Dovercourt) ... this is their second location in Toronto and they just opened it on Saturday.
The pizzas are made to order and take at least fifteen minutes. Surprisingly there are no stool at the tables if you are waiting or if you want to eat it there, which I did.
I love love love pizza and had never had a Chicago-style deep dish pizza before. I ordered a personal Chicago Classic (pepperoni and Italian sausage). The crust was really good. There was a lot of tomato sauce ... too much, I thought. The pizza and the abundant sauce wasn't overly hot, though.
When I started eating it, it got colder as I got to the inside and I noticed the cheese inside wasn't even melted. So I took it back to the guy at the counter and asked to have it put back in the oven. It came out five minutes later. The cheese was melted, the pizza was hotter (but not piping hot) but they'd put more cold sauce on top.
All in all, it wasn't a bad pizza. I did like it better once I scraped off a lot of the sauce.
I may check them out again once they have been around for a while as I wasn't wowed today.

A friend recommended trying E.L. Ruddy for brunch this past weekend. It's new so I hadn't heard about it! I was excited because I am so sick of vegan friendly places like Sadie's for brunch - so disappointing, but that's another review. E.L. Ruddy is cute, quaint, and vegan and vegetarian. Oh ya, and delicious. I get WAY too excited when I can eat nearly everything on a restaurants menu. I want to order it all or take it to go so I can try it later in the day when I'm hungry again. Alas, I didn't do that here, but I will be going back soon.
I had the huevos yelapa, which apparently is the most popular brunch dish. In fact, I and my 3 other friends ordered it! You can still get eggs at this place, but I had the vegan version with 2 very flavorful marinated tofu steaks. The corn bread is to die for. I want more. Now. They have 4 selections of soup on the menu that sound incredible... cashew cream tomato... all of which are vegan and g\/f. And there are 4 main lunch\/dinner dishes that I cannot wait to try. A vegan shepards pie and a risotto dish, just to get you drooling.
Service was great and my favorite part was the establishment itself. It's so cozy and eclectic I felt like I was in a house. Being that this is the first review I ENCOURAGE you to try this place and then let us know what you think. You won't be disappointed.

Darn it yelp... please allow half stars!
For the record, my verdict: 2.5 stars.
Today my friend came down to the Financial District to have lunch with me. Given my 1-hour time constraint, we went to First Canadian Place's food court because it has a lot of seats (I could always find a seat there, despite the lunch rush hour) and the great selection of food. It was a gloomy day, so I automatically wanted something soupy but different. After looking around, I settled on Amaya Express; I haven't had Indian food in a long time.
I ordered their lentil soup ($2.99 before tax), veggie samosa ($0.99) and pakora ($0.79).
The lentil soup was very runny with no hints of lentil, but it didn't taste bad and there were pieces of apricots at the bottom. The lentil soup came in a small cup, accompanied by 2 pieces of naan bread. It wasn't the greatest naan I've had, it was flat and bland, but it was ok, just not very memorable.
The veggie samosa was big, crispy, and the veggie filling was very tasty -light curried veggies. It was delicious and satisfying, not bad for $0.99.
The pakora was good, not as good as the samsoa. As my friend described it: "umm, hash brown with spices." I definitely had better pakoras before.
What I like about this place is that they're generous with their hot sauces, -I eat practically everything with hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Their prices isn't too bad, despite being located in the Financial District. I'll definitely come back for their veggie samosas, maybe their pakoras, but probably not the lentil soup.
Oh yea, one of their cashiers needs an attitude adjustment. When I politely inquired about my soup, I'd been waiting for awhile, she totally snapped and said it was heating up. I had no idea it takes about 10 minutes to heat up soup (probably in the microwave, I didn't see a pot). Also, it's a food court, food's supposed to be fast.

Nice ambience. The set up is quite strange, similar to Nandos where the order is placed at the counter and you await then to call your name. I find this a little haphazard... One could invest in buzzers or assign table numbers.
Food:
Just acceptable. I ordered the carbonara. Pasta was overcooked and a bit on the salty side, but still found it satisfying.
The station for dropping off used cutlery and dishes was really unpleasant. Not a fan of going to the place with a whole bunch of dirty dishes and food just left there.
Don't think I'd return since there are plenty of better Italian options in the area.

The place is on Elm, just north of the Eaton's Centre, in a fairly nondescript building\/house. The place doesn't look like your typical haute Steakhouse; one half of the place looks like an old pub, the other half is ever so slightly more fancy. I think the place has a nice feel to it. The room we were in was large enough to seat a fairly big party. There is also seating down in the restaurant's wine cellar, which is supposed to be quite nice.
Barberian's serves steaks -- and a few other things. I don't think there is much point going there if you aren't going to buy a steak. The steak I had was amazing, and I am pretty sure everyone else enjoyed theirs. The price of a meal ranged from about $30 - $50 dollars, depending on the entré you got. As Steak places go, I don't think it's particularly expensive, and I thought what I had was well worth the money. The wine list at the place is something to behold. The wine my friends and I split was quite tasty.
I think Barberian's caters to a very diverse group of people. It didn't have the sort of old banker feel other steak places sometimes have. I could certainly see it appealing to that crowd as well, but at the same time they had no issue with a group like ours. There were all sorts of people eating when we arrived. The staff were very helpful throughout the evening. The owner popped by briefly to wish my friend a happy birthday. I found it to be a very friendly place. On the whole I think Barberian's is well worth checking out.

Just discovered this out-of-the-way, hidden gem in my work hood.
And have been mildly obsessed ever since.
Located just inside the doors of 75 Sherbourne, this sushi bar (errr....more of a take-out stand) has super fresh, super delicious rolls and sushi. Items come pre-packed in take-out containers, but don't let this scare you off, its delicious.
My go-to order is a mixed box of sushi (today's included two pieces of salmon sushi, one shrimp, one yellowtail and one tuna) and 6 pieces of their dynamite roll. The rice is perfectly cooked, not too sticky, not too warm, just cooked enough to hold its shape and stick together. Its the best rice I've had with take-out sushi in the city. Fish is all super fresh, not fishy-tasting at all. Also have had their wakame salad and their miso, both were good. not amazing.
Prices: Not the cheapest take out, but also not super expensive. My order with a miso soup was $12. I'd rather pay a bit more for great quality than eat the crap they sell at the local grocery store.

This afternoon, my husband we checked out The Office Pub.
It opened two weeks ago on John Street, just south of Richmond E.
We sat on the patio, which was a great place for people watching.
Amy was our server. She was very friendly and took really good care of us.
Before we left, we checked out the rest of the bar and it's huge! The main floor is kind of trendy, the second floor is more like a pub and the third floor will be rented out for events. There are two patios in the back (on the ground level and second level). If you are hungry, they serve food.

Dear Pizzaiolioio (as my boyfriend and I so fondly call you),
Of all the T.O. pizza I've tried, you are by far the best. Your crust is fluffy and flavourful, your sauce is rich and oh-so-tomatoey, and your topping choices! They deserve a whole epic paragraph of their own!
With 15 vegetable toppings (including rare specialties such as broccoli, zucchini, and yukon gold potatoes!), seven meat toppings (in addition to the usual suspects, delicious sopressata makes an appearance on the menu), six cheese choices (gorgonzola and ricotta are the highlights), six sauce options (the fancy ones are fun, but the original Pizzaiolo tomato sauce rocks my world), AND three herb additions (fresh garlic, oregano, or rosemary!), you really have everything a girl could ever ask for. I've tried many of your gourmet pizza options and have been extremely pleased by them all.
Moving on from the toppings, let's talk about your wonderful John and Adelaide location. I visited you recently before attending a movie at the Scotiabank Theatre across the street (The best part of The Hangover was Bradley Cooper, mmm mmm.), and it was the perfect quick, delicious, and cheap meal. For $5.99 I had a slice of Soprano pizza (Sopressata, Sundried Tomatoes, Gorgonzola Cheese, Mozzarella and your Famous Pizzaiolo Tomato Sauce) and a can of Coke. For $5.99! Tax included! My favourite part about this location, however, is your adorable little patio up front. How lovely it was to sit outside on a warm mid-August evening enjoying delicious pizza and a refreshing soda! Your patio definitely makes this your best location.
Pizzaiolioio, I'll visit you again soon. I simply can't stay away.
Love always, Suzie G.
P.S. When are you going to open an east end location that's close enough to my apartment so that I can order delivery? The Danforth is in need of your delicious eats!
P.P.S. My roomie just reminded me that you are also a licensed establishment that sells beer! You may be a chain, but you're way cooler than Pizza Pizza!

New Burrito Boyz -- 2 block east of Yonge and Dundas, open from 11AM - 11PM everyday.
Same solid burritos as the other locations, however there is no seating here. The joint appears to be just for takeout only. However, glad they opened one that's close to my place and not swarmed with drunken post-clubbing d-bags on Adelaide... just the usual riff-raff around Y&D Square.

I never met a Glen I didn't like (Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet). The scotch expert, James Arvanitopoulis the Director and CC Historian, treated me to a very special 21 year old single malt scotch the Glenlivet Archive 21. This was truly a phenomenal flavour. The dark caramel and orange smokiness enveloping my senses brought me to a Scottish peat fired keg.

A friend was raving about this recently opened up place and my friend me dragged me up here.
We were at Colaba junction on Friday eve and it wasnt too busy. I was expecting a kick-ass vada pav but was disappointed as the vada was double fried and stale.
Pani puri came with a great presentation and three different types of water but they all tasted pretty bad.
Chaat was the only high-light.
They are new and should improve on their some key dishes pretty soon before they lose customers

Still top of their game. This place is simply amazing for delicious food prepared by caring staff. The new location just makes a good thing even better. No longer are you tightly jammed in when you place your order . Now there is room to stretch out and even tables\/chairs to use! Vastly improved comfort thanks to the new space.

This place is outstanding! I went with a group of six, and the meal couldn't have been more perfect. The atmosphere is modern, but comfortable and the service is friendly, but the real claim to fame is the food! We ordered a few different appetizers and each one was more delicious than the last. Everyone loved their main dishes... meats were cooked to perfection, all of the ingredients were so fresh, and the flavors were combined in unique harmony like we had never experienced before! I highly, highly recommend you go here and try as many dishes as possible!

Zero stars - Do not recommend
I believe Beijing Dumplings only opened a couple of weeks ago; exciting news that another dumpling restaurant has opened in my neighbourhood. The space is small and cozy. Washroom seemed clean. Open kitchen so your hair will smell of the frying (mine does).
They are offering a 10% off Opening Special. Very small menu: only dumplings (meat or vegetarian), either steamed or fried. 10 dumplings per serving. You can order half steamed, half fried, and combine two different flavours - you will of course be charged the higher price. Each order comes with a small side green salad, and fruit for dessert. They have soy sauce, dark vinegar, and chile oil at each table. The prices range from $8.99 - $9.49 (or thereabouts).
I ordered all pork dumplings, half steamed\/half fried. The dumpling filling was bland, so I had to dunk them into the vinegar\/hot sauce mixture I made. That's when I noticed that my steamed dumplings weren't cooked; the filling looked raw. I had eaten at least one, maybe two like this. *Insert gulp* The fried dumplings seemed better...but I really wasn't sure. I also overheard another table complain that their dumplings weren't cooked through either.
My server was very polite and immediately offered to bring me a new set of dumplings. This time, I asked for all fried...but when they arrived, I truly only had the stomach to eat about four. I left most of the dumplings untouched. I was feeling a little nauseous and headache-y, but I wasn't sure whether to attribute that to the sun (since I was sitting by the window) or to my soy sensitivity. I started to worry about food poisoning. The server had brought me two complimentary salads - one was a seaweed salad and the other I think was supposed to be picked daikon. The seaweed salad tasted off; the daikon salad had no taste.
All in all, a terrible experience. It has been over an hour since I left the restaurant and I still don't feel myself. But the server was polite and tried to react quickly. It's not her fault the cook didn't prepare the food well or properly. If this restaurant sticks around, hopefully they will get the cooking process corrected asap.

I had the bacon, poached eggs, home fries and toast. It was passable but certainly not memorable. The poached eggs had an odd texture - the whites were a bit overcooked even though the yolk was still slightly runny in the center. The home fries were ok-ish. I'd still return just because there aren't a lot of places to have a fast cheap hearty breakfast in the downtown core.

Meh. I have to echo everyone's comments... this place totally copied The Sandwich Box, right down to the size of the paper boxes and everything.
So this pick up place has probably only survived because of convenience and proximity to many offices. When I went this afternoon it was full of people in business suits picking up dinner to bring back to work. I don't know when they close, but by 5:30pm they start wrapping everything up and seemed irritated to have to unwrap them for me (even though there were lots of other customers after me).
There are 2 sections: salad bar and make your own sandwich.
The salad bar looks pretty standard. The woman in front of me got one and I must say they are HUGE. I don't know how it could be eaten in one sitting. If you don't want to build you own salad, you can also get a set combination. They are very predictable and standard -- chicken caesar, nicoise, greek.
I opted for a sandwich instead. For $9 (incl tax) you get a sandwich with 3 toppings (1 meat, 1 cheese, 1 vegetable) and a small side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. The bread selection is okay, not great. They did use a lot of ACE bakery breads. There are a bunch of spreads. I tried the apple curry, but it was a lot more bland than it sounded. Do not get the grilled eggplant!! It is salty beyond belief and then you can't taste anything else. Just looking at the vegetables behind the counter, I was not impressed. The tomatoes were very unripe and yellow\/orange-y. It was an okay sandwich, but I could fix up something better at home.
They also sell hot soups, brownies, fruit, and chewy bars.
Seems this place is popular, despite its mediocrity. I saw that during busy hours they had to organize 2 separate lines for salads and sandwiches. They also have the option of phoning in your order ahead and picking it up. For people in a real hurry, there are pre-made salads in a fridge by the cash ready to go.

My boyfriend and I went to Watusi for our 3rd anniversary. We rarely find a mutual restaurant as I'm a vegetarian and he's a meatetarian.
At only 3 weeks new, the place was comfortably busy. We got a table right away but with the popularity of Ossington street lately, this may not last. The decor is NYC hip with art by Joey Dammit! on the walls and lounge music. Our tall, leggy, blonde server was welcoming and personable. The menu was to die for. One of the specials was fried wonton with jalapeno and cheese. We skipped it but only because it's a bit too over the top fattening. The food is meant to be shared so we ordered a few meat and veggie options. We started with Asian glazed green beans with garlic and a touch of chili followed by Yukon garlic mash and ribs. My main dishes consisted of an amazing avocado spinach salad, veggie sushi with nuts and spinach and a to die for onion, blue cheese and pear pizza.
Apparently they will be starting brunch soon. I will definitely go back!

Having been a huge fan of Pizzeria Libretto for a couple of years now, we were excited to give Enoteca Sociale a try. We went for dinner tonight - it was busy but not full. Service was professional and attentive, and the food was amazing! We loved the octopus (super tender), the bucatini, (amazing sauce) papardelle with rabbit, oxtail (polenta was amazing), cornish hen, and the chocolate cake. The wine list was extensive and the person serving us offered some great suggestions. We can't wait to go back and sit on the patio! Enoteca Sociale is a great option if for rustic, Italian comfort food and we will definitely go back regularly!
Btw, they take reservations so if you want are looking for a great restaurant like Pizzeria Libretto but don't want to wait then I would highly recommend Enoteca Sociale.

'Very friendly Venezuelan girls sharing the table here tell me the breakfast is rated as the worlds best! I have to agree.'
I wrote that while having a Chorizo Arepa at El Arepazo and enjoyed it immensely. Whenever shopping in the market, I try to take a peak into the hallowed halls of Pancho's Bakery, next to Gordo's Fine Foods with the alley leading back to their shared backyard, home of some sweaty summertime bbq and beer garden parties. The kiosks, up a couple stairs and into the rear area of the bakery, host a continuous and hopefully never-ending stream of new Canadian cooks whipping up small batches of glorious food from their homelands, mainly from South America. El Arepazo is the latest contender vying for top snack food in Kensington, competing head on with Seven Lives and others in food that you can walk with and devour while taking in the sights and smells of the neighborhood.
I can see why the Venezuelans are proud of their country's snack, it is a delight! Ther's an appealing set of fresh avocado slices atop a warm flatbread made of ground maize dough. Underneath that the fun began with mine, juicy balls of chorizo, cooked just right and oozing with pork goodness. The balls of sausage tried to roll out of my hands, but I devoured the sandwich after laying on some of their wonderful tasting avocado salsa and rich and flavourful hot sauce served alongside in little cups.
The sign said open late - til 3 am, so no excuse not to go, anytime.
They also happily accepted my Yelp check in offer of 50% off so as if you needed another reason...
And don't feel rushed out onto the street to eat, the tables at the back is shared and the company was very good when I visited, on a Saturday afternoon AND they even brought me the food and nicely asked me to pay on the way out. RECOMMENDED!!!

Luckee by celebrated chef Susur Lee is traditional chinese at heart with a modern twist. There is a dim sum bar area where you can sit and watch the chefs. The vibe is very casual for a Lee outpost. Susur himself was in the house and the kitchen directing his staff. He also stepped out from time to time to survey the patrons although he did not stop by our table :(
In addition to the dim sum menu, there is seafood, vegetarian and meat dishes on the menu along with the customary noodle and fried rice options.
We started off with the signature sangria which was very refreshing. I must admit for 16 bucks it was a tad too on the expensive end.
From the dim sum menu, we shared the chicken and shrimp sui mai and chicken cheun feng which is essentially a rice noodle roll that is served as an alternative to traditional dim sum options. The texture of the soft rice roll contrasted really well with the crunchy noodle inside the rice wrapper. All dim sums are served with a trio of sauces - green onion, mustard and hot sauce, soy sauce with sesame.
We also shared a couple of mains - Fried cod chrysanthemum which had a nice sweet and sour sauce and the cantonese style fried rice with egg whites and fried shallots. The cod had all the juiciness inside of it and the sauce perfectly complemented it.
For desserts, we had the mango passionfruit panna cotta which was delectable balance of sweetness from the mango juxtaposed with the sourness from the passion fruit. The fried egg custard rice rolls were a bit of a flavor letdown but if you prefer a savory dessert to end your meal, this should fit the bill.
I am sure the word on the street will pick up in the no time and this will be the new hotspot in town. Go there before it gets too busy, I will definitely be back. They plan to open for lunch\/brunch next week.

It was a lovely experience coming for Copetin's soft open. Their menu is an eclectic collection of tastes with a flavour for every palate. The wait and bar staff was extremely attentive and social. Everyone was knowledgeable of the ingredients and pairings within the dishes. A great addition to the Old Toronto neighbourhood.

Perfect for comfort food. Harlem features soul food-some of the best fried chicken in Toronto ( love the crust and the spicing), awesome candied yams, mac n cheese to other stick to your ribs fare. The food is nicely done here though it can be somewhat of a wait at times with a one man kitchen and service is sometimes off, especially with big groups present or the nightclub upstairs open. That being said, this is the place I go to for my Soul food in Toronto.

The warm and inviting atmosphere at this brand new Scottish pub is a whisky lover dream. Plus, it's the only place in the city where I've ever seen haggis on the menu... I'm still working up to trying the haggis but I'll report back once I do.
This bar might just breathe some new life into this strip of College Street that was previously home to not much more than several vacant shop fronts and the less than stellar Black Knight.

Fantastic, simple Italian fare for delivery or take-out. I came here because it's close to the Toronto Western Hospital and very convenient for picking up lunch\/dinner to bring back to work. The pastas and pizzas are made to order, so you will wait 10 minutes or so unless you phone ahead. Portions are massive and could probably make 2 meals. Pasta come with garlic bread. I had the fusili rustica ($8.50) which was hearty and delicious, with pieces of chicken in a rose sauce with goat cheese. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Great value, yummy food, and nice people.

ICED NUTELLA LATTE.
So what if we already had a caffeine buzz from Jimmy's down the street? Rick's iced Nutella latte really hit the spot on a hot day. The employees are super friendly too.
This coffee shop is pretty small, but we perched ourselves on two stools by the window. The window looks out onto the street, perfect for people watching.
And trust me, with that sedan flower planter parked in the street, you will see some interesting passersby. Most will stop and take photos by the car, but I was entertained by the two dudes who looked like Biggie standing on the car and rapping.

Planta Burger is one of the first vegan quick service spots in Toronto. The location is great, the prices are reasonable, and Planta has enjoyed a lot of buzz since their debut about a year ago. In short, we had to check it out.
We've had mixed experiences at Planta, and unfortunately this was no different.
- The crab cake burger ($10.75, flat rate for all burgers here) was bland and underfilled. The hearts of palm were crushed into a soggy mess, but the pieces outside of the bun were nice and crispy.
- The buffalo cauliflower burger (again, reasonable at $10.75) was okay, although not a standout in texture or flavor.
- The onion rings ($3.75) were the best part of our meal! Nice texture and sauce, delicate and crisp. Maybe a touch underseasoned.
- The tots ($3.75) were a massive disappointment. The cauliflower tots at Planta's flagship were if basic and overpriced, but these were just awful. Burnt outside, wet paste inside, and some creamy sauce on top to cover it up. I assume this is just a one-off, as the brand knows how to do decent tots. Let's chalk it up to growing pains.
- The ice cream sandwich ($6.00) is incredibly dense. It consists of icy coconut ice cream smeared between two chocolate-oatmeal-peanut butter cookies. The cookies are too thick for the amount of ice-cream, which could be creamier.
***On a more serious note, they really need to mention that these sandwiches contain PEANUTS on the menu. One of my friends is allergic, and took a bite without knowing. It's irresponsible and dangerous not to note such a common (and sometimes life-threatening) allergen.***
Overall, our experience was not the best. I hope this place improves as they work through their launch phase, and I hope they start listing that their cookies and ice-cream sandwiches contain peanuts so that allergic guests don't unwittingly consume them.

Hit up this spot for lunch today. There was a bit of a lineup but was pretty much in and out of there in 12 minutes(yes i timed it).
I got a custom burger with spicy aoli, *balsamic fried onions*, goat cheese and tomato. The bun was flaky but not dry, large beef pattie wasn't overcooked and the toppings coming together just made it DIVINE.
Definitely my new favourite burger spot in the city.
$9 without a drink or fries.
And let me say this again: BALSAMIC FRIED ONIONS!

This place just recently opened (Jan. 4th, 2016), and THANK GOODNESS! The Bay\/College area needed a coffee shop like this!
I've only been once so far but can certainly assure you that I will return. Decided to go with their regular drip coffee, just to see what it was like, and it was definitely satisfying :D Cost $2.25, little pricey, but I don't mind. They also offer a variety of baked goods, sandwiches and even soup, kinda similar to your Aroma or Panera.
There's a good seating arrangement, and the overall vibe the cafe gives off is perfect (love the instrumental\/jazzy music they have playing!).The staff was veerrryyy friendly, willing to talk to you, joke around, and get to know you which s awesome!
Plus, they have free, reliable Wi-Fi, huuugggeee plus for any cafe-goer!

Cute little cafe with vintage decor. I recommend the buttermilk apple pancakes. Actual pieces of apple! A bit pricey, but I'll do anything for brunch.

When The Healthy Greek first showed up on the Queen West strip, I was like, psh. The owners moved out of the market at Queen and John to set up an establishment that was almost a carbon copy of Sandwich Box - custom salads, grilled sandwiches and soups. I remained faithful to my beloved Sandwich Box and turned a blind eye. For awhile.
As the story goes, Sandwich Box moved out of the Queen St Market and I was out of fancy salad options. So I gave The Healthy Greek a whirl and um, hi new favourite salad: spinach, feta, cucumber, peppers and quinoa with a real nice chicken souvlaki on top (sprinkled with lemon, of course). I'm not sure why I prefer their salads over Sandwich Box - maybe it's the souvlaki, maybe it's the house dressing - but this spot is my JAM. However, a satisfying salad will run me $10, and I'm pretty firmly anti-$10 lunch... so I don't go often.
Oh yeah - they've got chicken and rice and potatoes and shawarma and all kinds of greekish selections to make what looks to be a lovely lunch, but I've yet to stray from the salads so I can't assess the deliciousness of those items. I don't think you can build sandwiches any more, but you can get wraps. Oh, I DO know that the spanakopita is very good, from Athens Bakery if my brain is correct.
Some people I know find some staff members to be a little testy, but the salad lady is always very nice to me (we bonded over dried cranberries). I guess it all comes down to personal experience.

Really cute patio set up. Good for friends gathering together. Really loud with music so maybe not the best place to take a date.
Drinks and food are self serve. One food truck to place taco orders. One bar area to place drinks. Tables are seat yourself and communal. No servers\/service, only people to take away your finished drinks and plates.
You can order tacos individually or $25\/30 for six. All have to be the same kind. Had the baked fish tacos and they were nothing special. Really messy to eat if you're sharing with friends because they don't offer plates and you have to get your own napkins from the bar (not available at table).
They offered buckets of corona five for $25 I believe. Also had premixed margaritas that the bartender will gladly tell you what's in them. Bar was a bit slow. Drinks were a bit watered down. At one point the bartender lost her bottle opener in the bathroom so only one other bartender was available.
Patio has a great ambiance. Loved the lights hanging, made it feel very cosy. The music on Friday was amazing! A mix of old school jams and current hip hop.
Overall, would come back here just for their patio and beer with friends :)

Wow. This place is kind of ridiculously good. The shock? Purely because it's located about a 2 minute walk from my home, and I have now only been there twice.
I had heard before that it was a well-loved spot; a friend from the suburbs had even spoken of coming into this area specifically to eat here. I have certain places where I usually satisfy my Portuguese-style chicken needs, and though I do, as a rule, prefer the rotisserie to the grill where chicken is concerned, I fear that I sold these guys short for a long time. I remember having it once, a couple years back and thinking it was a bit too dry (drier than rotisserie, which it is, which is normal), and that their potatoes were a bit too greasy.
I would like to take this opportunity to retract my previous, incorrect perception. The chicken is deliciously seasoned and barbecued, and juicy. The rice is mildly and delightfully seasoned and the Parisienne-style potatoes are OMG delicious. Juicy and yes, kinda oily but in a nothing-but-mouth-watering way. They also have a very large dining room, a pretty big following (from what I gather), and a larger and more varied menu than I realized. Thank you blizzard, and for canceled plans that were responsible for taking me, and stranding me (starving) in a westward direction (9 out of 10 times, I go eastward).

The family and I were looking for a nice Restaurant after a long day of sightseeing, we stumbled upon Frascati by chance, the menu looked great and the series of local reviews and awards in the window looked great. Our family of 3 kids (7-11) and two adults were dressed casually so we were glad to see a great place that was open to casual dress.
First and foremost the restaurant was very nice, small\/cozy and I would say romantic but we had our kids! great selection of wine priced in the $34-$100 range and the several entrees we tried were all great. The did not have a kids menu but split entrees so that was great.
The service (Woman) who greeted and attended our table was excellent with the kids and on her suggestions for entrees.
So for a date, this is a nice place on a nice quiet street near downtown. For a family, I was impressed, no crayons or kids menu but a half order of spaghetti with meat balls was a hit as was the shrimp cocktail.

This is a 3.5 stars for me. Initially when I walked in and heard the music blasting I wasn't too happy as I could barely communicate my order to the people behind the counter. It didn't get better when I found out a chicken roti is like 8 freaking dollars but I must say it was mighty tasty and very filling. The roti's were nice and soft and everything was made well.
I'd probably come here more often if it wasn't as expensive but it's definitely a good place for Caribbean take out!
