The service is very good considering how busy the place is. If you want a basic bacon and eggs breakfast this place will not disappoint.

This Toronto landmark location is famous for being famous. Food is okay. Atmosphere is okay. But jammed with the beautiful people most weekends. I go once a season and i live in the west end.

The place is a dive, but I guess most comedy clubs are not pretty shabby. You go to Yuk Yuk's for laughs. No other reason to go. Food and drinks are expensive and service is terrible. Check the comic who is performing before you go.

This is new and very nice. Great place to watch a hockey game, and at a fraction of what you would pay at the Air Canada Center. Great site lines.

This is a great place to watch a hockey game. The seats are comfortable and the place has a natural buzz. i like it less for Raptor games. But unlike the Skydome the ACC is going to age very nicely. Good luck getting Leaf tickets... you are going to need it. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

You might see Stompin Tom Conners or you might get the bad results of too many shooters... all over your shoes... but you won't be bored. The Horsehoe is a Toronto landmark, and if the right combination drink, mayhem, and blowing-off-steam-bravado starts to brew, you will have one memorable evening. Don't dress up.

Yes, Mr Long, we know you are music genius. Seriously, if you can spit out the gain numbers on your mic you will feel right at home here. If you are not well versed in the music world be prepared for some eye rolling. They do have great stuff, but the service people need to get the chip off their shoulder.

If you get a new room... great! If you get a refurbished room, you might get that 1970s feeling all over again, with a tiny room and ultra thick curtains. This hotel is massive with over 1,000 rooms. You might also run into a celebrity or two. Still considered one of Toronto's top hotels. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

Great place to watch a performance. Site lines are good. The theatre has good acoutsics in most seats. The back balcony is to be avoided. It has that old time theatre feel that is hard for the new builidngs to capture.

The Skydome and theatre crowd are here, which means that it is packed one hour and empty the next. East Side Mario... like a lot of Toronto restaraunts, does not have good pasta, but if you stick to the salads and the grill, you will do just fine.

This place has been around forever--heh, it is a castle afterall, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed visiting Casa Loma. I hadn't been there since I was a kid, but the place is still big and airy and fun to tour. No shock and awe, but a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

I go every year. I can't resist getting my picture taken with the Stanley Cup.

If you like professional hockey, don't miss a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

The ROM has really improved over the last 5 years. They have an excellent children's area on the second floor that kids can spend a couple of hours in without getting bored. The only big negative is that the ROM is extremely busy on school holidays. But on an off day--it is very relaxing and informative way to spend an afternoon. I recommend this place.

In comparison to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, or the topline European galleries, AGO really comes across as minor and provincial.

I never go to the CNE without stopping by the Sport Hall of Fame (SHOF). The artifacts and history are fascinating, but the SHOF has not kept up with the Hockey Hall of Fame in terms of interactive exhibits to amuse the kids. To be honest, it getting a little dowdy. These days, the SHOF is for hard core sports fans only. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

This is a top of the line health club with state of the art equipment and instruction.
