Lee Restaurant -	July 18, 2007

The food was expensive. A potato cut into four pieces cost $8. Most of what was on the menu was pricey, including the steaks. The steak here is fantastic. Made just the way you like it and they come on simmering plates that just sizzle. I recommend this place based off of the steaks and service. The side orders though do leave a lot to be desired.

	Harbour Sixty Steak House -	December 6, 2006
	3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. delicious steaks. but their sides, especially their french fries, could be improved. the french fries were probably the worst french fries i have ever eaten at any restaurant. considering that this is supposed to be one of the top steak houses in toronto, that is not acceptable in my opinion, especially when you are paying top dollar for quality. yes, things on this menu are not cheap and thus be very careful what you order (ie stay away from the french fries). i also had mushroom ragout on the side which was decent and crab cakes to start which were fabulous. overall it was a very satisfying meal and the service was excellent (complimentary valet parking is nice) but the price is heavy. when you go to places like this, you pay top dollar but you are expecting quality. i was disappointed on the quality of the sides and thus give this place a lower rating then it probably could get. the steaks, however, are top notch.

	3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. they've renovated and it has a much nicer atmosphere now. i have had a much more pleasant experience here compared to the other reviews on this site. for one, the server was awesome. all smiles, very friendly, checked up on us on the regular. the menu here is hugggggggeeeeee. so much to choose from. if you ate here everyday for 3 times a day just to try everything on the menu it would still take you over a month. the food came fairly quickly and tasted very good. the prices were fair considering the large portions. overall i think this place is a good place to check out. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	7 West Cafe -	July 26, 2006
	5 out of 8 people found this review helpful. this place rocks. the atmosphere is very chill, low lit, these guys are nocturnal. open 24 hours all the time, you really can't go wrong. the food is ok, nothing spectacular and the average menu item will run you about 10 bucks. however, it is an excellent place for many occasions (date, quick bite, late night snacking, etc.) so i give it the thumbs up. ps, u can easily walk right past this place. it looks like an old beatup house from the outside.

	Dhaba Indian Excellence -	July 26, 2006
	5 out of 7 people found this review helpful. i went for the all you can eat lunch buffet. it has a large selection, the largest i've seen of any indian restaurant. most of the food is fresh and delicious, tho i did see some items that appeared to have been sitting there for a while. i noticed the staff checking out my date, but they were speaking a language i couldn't understand. they were a friendly bunch, tho not necessarily the quickest. the rice pudding had something in it that was black and definitely wasn't supposed to be there. this place consistently gets stellar reviews, however when i tried it i thought it was slightly above average. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	Exotic Tandoori Restaurant -	July 26, 2006
	6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. fast, friendly service. it is pretty hot in the place, as i don't think there is air conditioning. their lunch specials are very affordable and quite filling. add rice and potatoes to each lunch combo for a little bit more money. a good place to go for takeout lunch specials. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	La Mexicana -	July 4, 2006

	PITA Break -	July 4, 2006
	3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. what a great little pita place. the pita's are really well made, with a fairly wide selection of different pita breads. the prices are around $5-$7 for a pita, not bad as the pita's are pretty filling. the service is friendly, and the food ingredients are fresh. my pita tasted delicious, better then most pita places i've been to. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	Pizza Rustica -	June 21, 2006
	4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. The pizzas are very filling and quite interesting. Lots of options to choose from. I ended up going with the Frutti Di Mare or something. It was a seafood pizza with tiger shrimp, scallops and calamari on it. Very different. I also got the whole wheat crust which is more filling and cost and extra $2. The pizza's are a little more expensive then usual but not outrageous, the average price seemed to be around $15. I really enjoyed their smoothies as well. I recommend the Strawberry Breeze, its delicious! The staff was friendly and accommadating, overall the experience was quite good. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful?

	Salad King & Linda Restaurant -	June 12, 2006
	4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. this restaurant is always busy. i think its safe to say that most people enjoy the food and prices and that may be the reason. i really love their pineapple beef, its excellent. they also have great cashew chicken among other things. i go here fairly frequently and have never had a bad experience. tho it does feel kinda cramped like you are eating at a high school cafeteria. for a more restuarant feel go upstairs.

	Mullins Irish Pub -	June 12, 2006
	5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. mullin's has a very at home feel to it. the owner is extremely friendly and is always there greeting people, making sure everybody is having a good time. its a small and cosy atmosphere, but the servers really take the time to get to chat it up with you and get to know you a little bit. the food is excellent, especially their chicken wings. the prices are average, not too expensive and certainly not cheap but they do have daily food specials i suggest you take advantage of. i certainly have a good time everytime i go.

	C Lounge -	June 11, 2006
	1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. its a hassle to get into this place. there is no line. its more like a semi circle of ppl waiting at the door hoping the bouncer looks at you after consulting with the guest list checker. my buddy made reservations with guest list but for some reason our name wasn't on the list. so we had to wait a little longer. good thing it wasn't a very busy night or we could have been waiting for quite a while. kudos to the bouncer tho, who was the most respectful and polite bouncer i've ever encountered. cover is $10 and dress code is strict. once inside tho, the atmosphere is really nice and the female staff are friendly and hot. in the back is the pool with big lounge couches and cabanas, which totally kicks butt. the food is open late as well, which is a bonus. the drinks are on the higher end but not outrageous, and their is VIP booths with bottle service if you can afford it ($150 was the cheapest bottle i saw, not sure if there is a minimum bottle order). overall i'd give it a thumbs up, i had a great time. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	Magic Oven -	June 11, 2006
	2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. its a below average place to eat in terms of atmosphere (its hot inside and the patio is small and shared with the cafe next door), but the food is delicious. i really enjoyed their tandoori wings, and their gourmet pizzas are superb. the prices are slightly above normal, but that's probably due to the amount of different options you have for your pizza. i definitely recommend this place.

	Milestone's -	May 5, 2006
	5 out of 7 people found this review helpful. the first time i went to milestones was a horrible experience. i ordered a sandwich and it took an hour to get to me, and when it did the french fries were cold. on my way out, the hostess was entertaining someone and she flailed her hands in the air as i was walking past her from behind, and she smoked me in the forehead. i told myself i was never coming to milestones again. that was a couple of years ago. fast track to present day, and i've been back twice, one time for drinks and last night for dinner and i must say, the experience both times were pretty positive. for one, i didn't get backhanded by the employees (in fact they were quite friendly and helpful) and the atmosphere is really nice in there. the food is also tasty and fairly large portions. i'm wiling to look past my bad first experience and recommend this place for a good night of food and drink, especially as a pre party meetup spot.

	The Gateway's of India -	April 29, 2006
	1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. the lunch buffet is good. its a fair selection and they change up the menu. for 7.95 all you can eat its a good deal. the indian food is nothing spectacular and buffets are always a good idea until u finish eating (in which case you ask yourself what the heck you were thinking). the service is a little slow as they seem to be a understaffed during lunch time.

	Natural Sushi Japanese Restaurant -	April 18, 2006
	3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. i have had better, but i've definitely had worse. the prices are good, especially the bento boxes. and students will like this place as they get an extra discount. not many sushi places accept the ISIC card but they do. the food was speedy, but that may be because I was pretty much the only one in there. i also went at lunch. they have a lot of options on the menu which is also a plus. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	Ginger 2 -	April 18, 2006
	1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. so you order something and then they give you a number. when the food is ready the waiter goes to every table looking for the number. it has got to be the most inefficient way of serving food i have ever witnessed. it wasn't that busy when i went so it wasn't that big of a deal, but i can only imagine if all the tables were taken how long the poor waiter would have to walk around looking for the number. anyways, other then that, the food was ok. decent sized portions, decent prices, and the food was ready fairly quickly. oh, and they only have one garbage in the whole place. i couldn't find it and it took me a while before i was able to throw out my can of coke. kinda silly that they only had one.

	Barberian's Steak House -	April 14, 2006
	1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. amazing steaks, great service. not very well lit, i guess that's what they were going for, and the presentation of the food is pretty plain. but their steaks are DELICIOUS. keep in mind most steaks range in the $40 price range, which is not cheap but you are paying for quality. i love it here, so i give it a thumbs up.

	Ethiopian House Restaurant -	April 12, 2006
	1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. its not for everybody, but its definitely for me! everything on the menu is served with jello like bread called injera. the texture of injera takes a bit of getting used to. but once u do and you grab the food with it (no utensils here!) there's no looking back. they have a good selection of items that are unique to ethiopian cuisine including a specialty coffee blend that takes 45 minutes to prepare. sounds yummy, although i didn't get it (i'd love to hear a review if you've had it before.) it was a pleasant experience and i'd like to go back to try out other menu items.

	Saigon Palace Restaurant -	April 6, 2006
	3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. good prices. i love the pho here, and its nice and close to UofT's st. george campus. i wish they gave u more bean sprouts, but its only because the pho portions are so ginourmous. the food comes fairly quickly tho i have found that if you ask for water it takes a while. still, saigon is a good place to go for lunch if ur near the northern end of chinatown and are craving some affordable vietnamese.

	Fran's Restaurant -	April 6, 2006
	4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. fran's is a very average, overpriced diner. the coffee was bad (and i drink some pretty gross coffee sometimes), the waiter took his sweet time on everything and the food was very very ordinary. i ordered fran's energy breakfast which was homefries (slightly burnt), ham (i think it was sandwich meat), 3 scrambled eggs (covered in grease), and a croissant. overall i'd say skip it and go elsewhere, but if ur in the area and ur absolutely starving and its breakfast time and ur willing to pay for bad service and average food i guess u could giver a go. tho i wouldn't suggest it.

	Hoops Sports Bar & Grill -	March 23, 2006
	1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. there aren't many sports bars in my area that show the UFCs but hoops came through. it gets a little packed and i think the$10 cover charge to sit in the bar while the event is on is ridiculous but i guess they'll try to make money however they can. i can't complain tho, minus the fight that broke out outside that eventually lead to the broken window glass that came flying into and around my feet resulting from that fight. if u like sports and beer (who doesn't?) then its a good place to go hang out. if that doesn't sound like a good night to u, stay far away.

	The Bowl -	March 23, 2006
	2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. i went in for some takeout, but it looks very nice inside. the waitress was very friendly but she didn't know what scallions were. i think its important that the staff know what is going into the food on their menus but its a minor detail. i got the large curry soup bowl and i must say it was DELICIOUS. i highly recommend it, and i think it only came to 8 bucks after tax. i was stuffed!

	Big Sushi -	February 25, 2006
	3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. what a pleasant surprise. looking in on the outside i thought it was a really small place, but upon entering i realised that it extended all the way back. in the back it was a rather cosy atmosphere. i was in good company, so i didn't mind the ridonkulously long wait time just to take our order. but once we got that the food was fairly quick to arrive. the presentation of the food was excellent, one of the better sushi places in toronto. the food itself wasn't too bad, i had the affordable lunch special of dynamite and avocado roll. my friend ordered a sweet potato roll, i had a piece and it was quite delicious. i recommend that one if you go to big sushi.

	Bloor Street Diner -	February 24, 2006
	1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. its a fancier place. the food is decent, nothing special for the price you pay. the service i wouldn't say is particularly friendly. i've been there 3 times now and its never been above average. the wait times for food can be really long. the second time i was there we had to wait a really long time just for the bill! i like the fixed price menu. gives you quite a few options for you to mix and match. what's even better then that is the dinner and movie combo. you save yourself quite a bit of money and the theatre is in the same building so its convenient and will save you a couple of bucks.

	New Yorker Deli -	February 24, 2006
	1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. they paint the statue of liberty on the wall, you know to give you that pleasant warm and fuzzy new york feeling. the food portion was small and the juice was expensive. the bacon didn't taste that great either. as far as deli's go its nothing special. if you go to a deli in new york u know the portions are massive, so the name is kinda trickery. i'd suggest elsewhere.

	CIAO EDIE -	February 22, 2006
	2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. A great place on a Tuesday! The DJ played great old school hip hop and there was a massive breakdancing battle going on! Great stuff - Amsterdams were $4 - pretty decent. Cool atmosphere, a bit hot. But very busy and an eclectic crowd. Everything from young businesspeople to drunk college students to b-boys and girls. Crowded, so it's tough to find a table. Prepare to stand for a while or even the whole night. That's not a problem because the DJ keeps spinning great music non stop. Fun for all I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam

	Republik Nightclub -	February 21, 2006
	3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. ok, i'm not much of a rock and roll kinda guy. but the rock side of the club was wayyyy better then the small, overly crowded, male infested hip hop side. lots of pushy people too. and the cigarettes stunk up the air nicely. there was a lineup to get in, a lineup for coat check, and a lineup for getting your coat when leaving. a total of about an hour of waiting in line. be warned. if you time ur entrances/exits accordingly, you can avoid the lines altogether (or so i'm told). the redemption of this club is definitely the music and hotties in the rock room.
