Lee Restaurant - July 18, 2007
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. The servers are probably the friendliest and most welcoming servers I have had in Toronto. Not only that, the tapas style food is most excellent. Very excellent dining experience! Even got to see the man himself, Susur Lee. Do yourself a favour and check it out.
I recommend this place.

Petit Dejeuner - July 17, 2007
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. they don't do separate bills so be aware of that. the food comes fairly quick and the service is pretty good. lunch prices aren't too bad and the food tastes very good. i'd recommend the place for some affordable and tasty French cuisine.

Fresh On Bloor - July 17, 2007
6 out of 9 people found this review helpful. it can get very loud and busy here. the portions are large, a little bit pricy, but very healthy and delicious. the service can be a little slow when they are busy but the quality of the food makes this place a worthwhile choice for healthy eaters and vegetarians.

Jerk Hut - July 5, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. only a couple of tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. it is more of a take out place. i really enjoy the roti and plantain. it was very filling and for a pretty good price (around $7.50 after taxes). The service is friendly though not that fast when it gets busy.
I recommend this place.

The Main Squeeze Limited - June 15, 2007
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. EXPENSIVE. a medium gourmet soup will cost 7.92 after taxes. If you use interac that's an extra 50 cents. for a medium soup. regular, "non gourmet" soups are 3.99 for a medium, still not cheap.

with price out of the way, let me just say the pita's, smoothies and soups are DELICIOUS. very good and healthy food, with friendly customer service. they also have a small patio to enjoy your smoothie in the sun!

I recommend this place.

Sneaky Dee's Limited - June 12, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. i like this place. the bartenders and bouncers are friendly and the crowd is very mixed and varied. they have great live bands that play as well. the atmosphere is a little on the run down, dingy side but overall its a fun time.

Little Saigon - June 12, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. the air circulation could be a little better, as there is a strong food smell that will linger on your clothing if you are in there too long, but the food is excellent. its run by two very sweet and friendly Asians who cook every dish with love! the prices are great, around the $5 range and always fresh. great place to grab some Asian food on the run.

Sheba Ethiopian - June 12, 2007
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Delicious food, friendly but slow service. The portions look relatively small, but don't let that fool you, the injera will fill you up fast! Take your time when eating or else you'll just feel really full really fast. They have vegetarian or meat options.
I recommend this place.

Debu Saha's Biryani House - June 12, 2007
2 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Very friendly staff, though on the slow side. It took a long time to get our appetizers, but they let us know that it would take a while and offered us an alternative appetizer which would be ready immediately which we declined. The presentation of the food is excellent, and the taste is even better! They have fixed priced 3 or 4 course veggie or non veggie menus which are fantastic. Highly recommended.
I recommend this place.

Philthy McNastys - June 1, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. this is an amazing place to watch sports of any kind. screens are everywhere, including a giant one in the middle that you can watch from the upper level or the basement! they also have booths with separate televisions. it gets very busy and they do have a patio outdoors. the bouncers are excellent, very professional and friendly, as well as the wait staff.

Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub - June 1, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Didn't stay long, had a few beers and a bite to eat. The staff was super friendly and the service was quick. The food was so so, you're typical bar food but nothing tasted outstanding. Their food platters are nice, with some great variety and are fairly priced.

Urban Restaurant - June 1, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. This is a very nice place. It has a great ambience to it and the staff is quite friendly. Their rooftop patio is also very nice. They have a fixed price $20, 3 course menu which I do recommend. The food presentation is great and the overall experience is well worth the money.

Burrito BOYZ - June 1, 2007
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Awesome burritos! its very cramped in there, not much of a sit down place. The staff do a good job ensuring the orders don't get mixed up, especially when its busy and packed inside. if you're in the area i highly recommend the food especially if you like Mexican.

St Lawrence Market - June 1, 2007

Zyng Asian Market and Noodlery - June 1, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. ok food that tastes pretty bland. the washrooms are pretty hard to get into as well, as you have to push the door in pretty hard. they are also very tiny, 1 person only. the prices of the food are a little more expensive then normal, about $10 for a single dinner entree. the service is friendly and fairly quick.
I recommend this place.

Red Lobster Restaurants - June 1, 2007
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Friendly service, and a great ambience. The food is reasonably priced as far as seafood goes, but the taste leaves something to be desired. They do have delicious garlic biscuits, but everything else is pretty average
I recommend this place.

O'Grady's Restaurant - May 21, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Awesome patio, awesome Sangria. Slow service. The waiter did apologize for the slowness of the food, though, so its not normally like what I experienced I imagine. The patio is great for just relaxing in some beautiful weather. The food is alright, doesn't really stand out but the portions are a good size.
I recommend this place.

Sushi Island - May 21, 2007
10 out of 11 people found this review helpful. amazing all you can eat deals! the foods presentation isn't the greatest and the servers get really busy , but just the fact that the food tastes good and is all you can eat is worth it. They have 3 different types of all you can eat at different prices, the cheapest having a limited menu and $12.99, and the most expensive have the entire menu for $20.99. It is an extra $2 per person on Friday thru Sunday. I will definitely be back.

Shopsy's Deli & Restaurants - May 21, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Stay away from their breakfast. They burned my toast and my home fries. The sausages tasted great and the eggs were ok. Of course it is more known for being a Deli but I didn't think they would mess up breakfast that bad. My friends ordered sandwiches and they said were delicious, so I'll probably give this place another chance, but next time order a non breakfast item.
I recommend this place.

BUDO Liquid Theatre - May 21, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. it was dead before midnight on a Friday. the people working the door were unorganized, with guest list all messed up. its a great looking place inside, and friendly staff. drinks are $3 on Friday, and free entry before 11 pm. Still dead till midnight, which kinda sucks but it picks up and gets pretty fun with some good music.
I recommend this place.

Casey's Grillhouse - May 21, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Friendly, enjoyable staff with a nice little patio. Unfortunately, it is in a pretty sketchy neighbourhood and I was asked for change no less then 3 times in the span of an hour. The food is alright, it seems more like bar food then restaurant food at reasonable prices.
I recommend this place.

Just Desserts Cafe - May 16, 2007

Cafe Asia - May 16, 2007

Ruth's Chris Steak House - May 16, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. i thought the service was fantastic. our server was friendly and funny, almost as if we were just regular customers/friends. i really liked that, but i can see how some people may wish to keep it a little more formal.
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.

Richtree Market Restaurants - May 2, 2007
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. I like this place, because its neat going around and picking the food you want. It can get a little pricey and sometimes you may be tempted to get something without looking at the price. Be warned. The food is good and the staff is helpful. Large selection of foods and desserts. Be sure to check it out sometime.

Indian Hut - May 2, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Large selection for the buffet, so the price of $15 is justified. The staff is friendly although a little bit on the slow side taking away plates, etc. The ambience is nice, and the food isn't too bad, though I did find they were a little strong on the spices.
I recommend this place.

Eggspectation - March 27, 2007
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Great food and coffee. The portions are large and will fill you up. Even though I had breakfast I was good well past dinner, so for about $10 bucks that's not bad at all. It does get really loud and busy in there though, so I'd recommend going at off times like 2 pm or something.
I recommend this place.

Green Mango Thai Food - March 19, 2007
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Great food, though I thought my pad thai was a little on the greasy side. The service was alright, the servers were slow to respond and not very friendly but they got the job done. The chicken curry was excellent as well as the crab cakes.

King Palace Restaurant - February 6, 2007
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. huge selection of indian food. the food gets heated up in one of their many microwaves and actually tastes very good and authentic. the prices are not bad considering the very large portions you get (between 5-10 bucks for lunch). the atmosphere isnt much to brag about nor is the service, but i think the tastiness of the food makes this place a worthwhile visit.

On the Rocks Restaurant - February 2, 2007
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. friendly staff, pretty greasy food that tastes ok. the prices are fair but not exactly cheap for the food that you get in terms of size or quality. still, its tough to find szechuan style food in the area, so if that's what your looking for this is your place.

Crowbar Lunch - February 2, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. this is a very small, kind of old, tiny diner with a unisex bathroom. its not much to look at, but the food is good especially for the very reasonable prices. not to mention the portions are pretty big and the guys that work there are super friendly. i like coming here every once in a while if i'm in the mood for something quick, cheap and delicious.

Bombay Palace - January 28, 2007
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. pretty big place, but the tables are kinda jammed in. the service is really good. the price of the lunch buffet is about 10 bucks. the buffet itself is alright, not the biggest selection of the best food, but it is pretty solid. i would recommend the place because there really isn't a better indian buffet in the area.

Jasmine Rice Express - January 8, 2007
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. The food is ok at a competitive price. The service is ordinary and definitely not spectacular. It is a fast food type place in that you pick up your food when its ready. The food does came quickly and was pretty good and their menu is large. cash only which is a bit of a hassle. also, when you are done eating your food simply leave your trays on the table.
I recommend this place.

Taste of Mediterranean - December 18, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. not much of a sitdown place and quite warm inside. the food is quite tasty and anywhere between $5-10 for combos. The service is pretty good, friendly people who will bring your plate to you if you eat inside. It really is more of a take out place or to grab a quick bite to eat. if your in the St. Lawrence Market and in the mood for mediterranean this is a good place to start.
I recommend this place.

Hotspot Cafe - December 16, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. They make fresh and delicious sandwiches that are around 5 bucks. the service is kinda weird. there was nobody in line and i asked the employee where i place my order. she pointed me to the other end of the counter so i went there and waited. i kept looking at her to see when she would take my order or if somebody else would come take it but she never looked. finally i said something and then she asked what i would like and made my sandwich... quite odd. then when my order came i was a penny short (it was 5.46). i asked if that was ok and they said no. so i broke a $20 and they hand me 14.55 in change (in other words, i paid 5.45)!! just weird.

Bistro 990 Restaurant - December 16, 2006
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Delicious french style food. Great service (tho they did make a stink about having separate bills). it can get quite loud and busy inside. the atmosphere is very low lit, romantic, for a slow and comfortable dining experience. most dinner entrees are in the range of $20-30.

HIRO Sushi Restaurant - December 16, 2006
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Hiro Sushi has excellent sushi and excellent presentation of the sushi. the chef is very reknown and many hail this place as one of the best sushi spots in downtown. the prices are above average compared to other sushi restaurants in toronto (lunch will cost you around 20 bucks, dinner even more then that). inside could use some renovating and the service is not the greatest. one thing to note is that the wasabi is already combined in the sushi. the first time i went i had thought they had forgotten to bring it to us and had trouble flagging down the waitress only to tell us that there was wasabi in it already.

Lee Garden Restaurant - December 7, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Great place to eat. Over the years the food seems to have gotten better as well as the service while the prices remain competitive. The portions are large as you would come to expect from any restaurant in Chinatown. The lineups can get long as this is one of the most popular Chinese food restaurants on Spadina.
I recommend this place.

Scotiabank Theatre Toronto (formerly Famous Players Paramount Toronto) - December 6, 2006
7 out of 8 people found this review helpful. This is my favourite place in Toronto to watch a movie. It is just a great movie experience and is usually very busy. The seats are fairly comfortable the screen and sound is crisp, and its right downtown around clubs, bars, restaurants. in other words, plenty to do before or after the movie. definitely check this place out.

Harbour Sixty Steak House - December 6, 2006
3 out of 3 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.
I recommend this place.
