A so so restaurant charging fine dining restaurant's rate. Waited over 30 mins for the main course and the portion of everything was so small that it wouldn't fill up my cat. Very poor choices of wine on the wine list and of course they were over-priced too. The service was poor too. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I would have gladdy selected minus 4 star is it was available. We heard about Amuse-Bouche when we moved to downtown To. For my birhtday 6 of us decided to go try their dessert tasting menu. We booked 2 weeks before, and got a call last minute asking to push our reservation from 9 to 9:30pm. When we arrived at 9:25pm, our table was still not ready. The restaurant did not have any waiting area so we were pushed in every direction. A very rude hostess came and ask us to wait in the "waiting area". It was at the back of the restaurant where the toilet were. At 9:55pm, we had enough of this non-sense and decided to leave as there was no sign that our table was clearing. To make matter worst, not only the hostess did not come to apologize or offered us something to compensate for this experience, she told us that she doesn't understand why we are leaving. She claims that they are simply behind by 5 min. I understand that the time varies between's people's watches, but she must have her's set in a different time zone. Beware of snubby/pretentious service! I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

My husband and I have eaten at restaurants all over the world--Italy, Australia, Spain, Portugal--among others. I consider myself something of a foodie and in the city really enjoy Le Paradis for good, bistro French cuisine and Auberge de Pommier for more high-end French fare. I expected that Amuse Bouche would land somewhere in between these two rather good French restaurants. Not so. We ordered the 5-plate tasting menu, not realizing that all we'd received for our $220 bill was a literal taste of food. Not to mention two hours post arrival and we've been graced with two beautiful, but miniscule, plates. In the end, I could have fit every course all together, and very comfortably, on a single plate. We have very average appetites, but tonight, we left this over-priced, pretentiously presented meal hungry. Absolutely appalling. Best of all, when we tried to express our displeasure, we received the back of our server. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I have been there for dinner twice. Wine list has virtually no reasonably priced wines, especially reds, under $55 per bottle. The first time I went there, I complained to the server about the lack of reasonably priced wines but, since the first dinner I had was very good, I went again, although I knew the wine was overpriced. The second dinner was a disaster. My beef tenderloin (which I had also had for my previous dinner) came cinderized with the grill's cross-hatch pattern on both sides which made it inedible until I cut it off which substantially reduced the size of my meal. Unless the meal is inedible, I don't send it back because of the potential for the chef or other staff to do nasty things to the replacement. When I discussed the cinderized meat problem with the server, he discounted and trivialized my concern. When I discussed this with the restaurant owner, she whined about her own problems. I raised the unreasonable wine list prices again and she argued that it wasn't possible for her to put any cheaper priced wines on the list. I told her about another restaurant in Yorkville, owned by a renowned Toronto chef, where there are more reasonably priced wines which she scoffed at, stating that, at that restaurant, there probably weren't any table cloths (there are). There's a lot more to this experience, and I could continue, but I think you get the message, don't go there! I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |
