Question: What was the experience like?

If you had asked me a month ago what I thought of the Red Room, I probably would have at *least* given it a 3/5 if not a 4/5 based simply on the amount of food versus the price you pay. I had always ordered a couple of staples, which were cooked reasonably well and filled the void in my stomach.However (and this is a big however), I have since lowered them to 1 star. If I could give them no stars, I would. I eat here fairly frequently, at least once sometimes twice a month and I don't even live in Toronto. Last month I ordered the soup and sandwich deal and was told the soup of the day was either tomato chickpea and cream of broccoli. I usually quite enjoy their cream of broccoli soup, but what I was served (both taste and texture) was more like a wilted old lettuce soup. It was disgusting. I kept trying to eat it, thinking to myself - there's something wrong with this soup. My mother-in-law was the first to pipe up to our waitress about it (whom we tried to track down for a good 10 minutes because no one ever checks on their tables there). There's something wrong with the soup, I tell her. Oh, no there's nothing wrong with it - it's actually asparagus soup and I just forgot to tell you. Exact words. Not paraphrasing. It was disgusting. I was brought the dreadful tasting tomato chickpea soup instead and just couldn't bring myself to finish it.And this is just the beginning because - wait - there's more. Last week I went in again and decided to order the Phad Thai. Big mistake. I have had the dish before both there as well as from many other restaurants in the Greater Toronto area and have always quite liked the dish.  The dish had two pictures of chilli peppers next to it, which most restaurants have despite the dish being more sweet than it is spicy. I took a bit of it and almost threw up. There was no flavour there - it was just spice. I complained to the waitress who at first gave me a bit of attitude but said I could order something else. I had a strange feeling so I said Are you planning on charging me for this food I can't eat?. Of course I am, there's nothing wrong with it. She replies haughtily. I tried to explain that it was beyond hot and that it was nearly impossible to eat. It's not normally like this. Well that's not our fault, its yours because you didn't read the menu. I was aghast and she even brought the menu over to point out the two chilli peppers. She was beyond being explained to and was at a point where she was arguing with me, not letting me speak and telling me that it was my fault.She kept telling me I had to pay for a meal that was inedible even by the poorest of standards so I ended up walking out. I had at one point even asked to speak to the owner or manager. She actually smiled at me, crossed her arms and said they weren't in that day. She said she was in charge and that's just the way things are.I have never been treated so rudely at a restaurant before in my life. Yes, the prices are good and the servings are large - but the service is gawd awful to the point where they should be reported to the Better Business Bureau. The atmosphere is tolerable on some days and  rank the next - the music being the most obvious culprit. With no standards as to what can and will be played you can be tortured with just about anything your nightmares can come up with - and mid lunch, I just don't want to hear a skipping CD of some woman who is swinging a cat by the tail to drums when all I want to do is listen to the person across the table from me tell me a story.For the average student this place may be fine as long as you never have a complaint and stick to the same meal each time. Never complain because it's the customers fault, not the kitchens. Bring some ear plugs or your MP3 player and last but not least, shut up and eat the food they give you....or else....or else you can just skip it altogether. Probably your best plan of action.

Question: How is the fry?

These burgers were really tasty, not from frozen patties, fresh toppings, fresh bun, fresh cut fries. I won't whine about the stupid detail another reviewer was whining about where they put an extra scoop of fries in your bag, I thought it was generous and fun, I mean what's the big deal? Take your burger and cup of fries out of the bag, eat some fries from the cup, and tilt the bag and pour the rest into the cup.. or don't eat the bag fries... what is this special  way so they don't spill out are you whining about Mike b?? how complex can that be? how is that obnoxious? I think what's obnoxious is the fact you complained about such a pointless detail.I had the bacon cheese burger and I really loved it. This is a 50's style burger joint with fresh food, their burgers are nothing like a whopper, as this is fresh unfrozen patty and a whopper is a factory processed burger with fillers, preservatives and is frozen, and  has likely been for months before they make it for you. If you are expecting some snooty high end gourmet burger experience then don't go, if you want a fresh tasty burger,  then this is a good place for one. I mean they make burgers and fries and hot dogs, what are you expecting the place to be?  I think some people tend to expect too much from these places. Oh and a word of advice, if you want to keep your fries crispy when taking out, take the napkins out of the bag and don't close it, keep it open, if you don;t, the fries will be soggy by the time you take them out of the bag. I think the guy complaining about soggy fries below is not eating in the shop, he's doing take out and likely steaming his fries by closing the bag. I'll definitely go back.

Answer: fries crispy when taking out, take the napkins out of the bag and don't close it, keep it open, if you don;t

Question: Does this offer good presentation?

Solid 4/5Its rare for me to give 4 stars out of 5 but this place deserve it. I tried most of their go-to dishes on the menu and I can confidently say if you don't mind the price tag, you should try as many dishes as possible because it's worth it! I was not a big fan of their famous Khao Soi or pad tai ( I mean they are still good but not mind blowing like what others said ) but I quite enjoyed everything else. Their green curry is not mind blowing as well but still have all the flavours that you look for when it comes to Thai curry My usual go to is pad gra prow with crispy pork. It's a fried rice dish with your choice of meat that's cooked with Thai basil serve with sunny side egg, cucumber and fish sauce. This dish has everything. There is tenderness of meat and crispness and juicy fat from crispy pork. Fish sauce brings all the flavours out and creamy runny egg York wraps all the flavours together. When you feel like it's little too much of fat, there is silky rice and crispy cucumber to balances out the dish. Perfect dish I'll like to have when I have a little cheat day.Chiang Mai Beef Noodle Soup is another favorite of mine. Braised beef is so tender it just falls apart in your mouth. There is good balance between creaminess of peanut butter, spice, sweetness and sourness of lime. It was little bit on the heavier side than other Chiang Mai beef noodle soup I tried. Still darn good. If you are not into heavy dishes, just go for beef salad or papaya salad. They are very refreshing but yet has lots of flavour and quite filling. I took one star off because up and down of service. It's 50% chance hostess and servers will be very rude and forgetful and 50% chance they will provide the acceptional service. Also it's extremely busy during the dinner time so make a reservation or expect to be in the line for 30+ min. The place is cute and fun but to me the wait time and effy service ain't worth dine in. I highly recommend take out.

Question: How is the restaurant?

This place has a lot of variety but the service is terrible and the food is mediocre and pricey. They charge a mandatory 12% gratuity, which doesn't sound bad, but the service is not good. Tables not cleared, food not warm enough, and cashier not friendly.

Question: How is it food?

The food here isn't too bad, but it also isn't excellent. When I ate here I had by far some of the WORST service I've ever had. To start off, I am really against the idea of ordering off iPads. Especially when we had a larger group who had to pass around one iPad to order. It took forever to place our orders because of the size of the group (over 30 minutes). I see the iPads being good for one or two people, or if everyone in your party was going to order all-you-can-eat. But it all became very confusing, very quickly. Our food was coming at the most random times and they ended up giving me the wrong food. It was all very confusing. To top off all the frustration and confusion, our waiter spilt hot soup on someone at our table. I get it, mistakes happen...but with everything that was happening we were not impressed. When it came time to get our bills it took ages to sort everything out. We were already running behind from the slow service and we didn't have time to wait another 20 minutes for them to sort the bills out. We were finally able to pay and get out of there. I was not happy with the price I had to pay for the mediocre food I had eaten. I will NEVER be coming back here again.

Question: How is the price?

Delish! We get a variety of dishes all the time but the rare beef pho, mango salad and some tofu noodle dish is usually a staple. The dad and son are a friendly team, the price is right and always leave happy!

Question: How is spot?

Oh my god, so good. So very worth every great review that they have.I got the Kalbi bahn mi and it was delicious. Huge portion with lots of meat inside. The meat was flavourful and juicy. I do wish that the baguette crust was a lil bit crispier, but overall the break was also nice and fluffy and yummy. I also got the Tofu Fries, which were french fries covered in tofu, kimchi, mayo, and other good stuff. They were delicious! The portion is massive though, so I would recommend splitting it between people or ordering just the fries.The storefront isn't too large, but there is some seating inside. If it's busy, you might have some difficulty grabbing a spot. Service is quick and friendly.

Question: How is the taco?

Honestly, I am not much of a taco person because it usually upsets my stomach.  My cousin kept insisting that if I go to tacos 101. She loves tacos and insists that this place is one of the best taco places in Toronto.   So I did eventually go with her and I tried the fish taco.  It was excellent.  The portion size they gave me was huge so had to take the rest home with me and eat the rest for dinner.  We did actually find a seat which was supposedly rare in a small place like this.  My only thing is I do not like taking food on the go as I enjoy sitting and eating my meal while it is hot and fresh. So if you are trying to find a spot to eat when it is busy it will be difficult.  So have it in mind that it may be a food to go item.

Question: How did the service of the place seem to your family?

Was very excited to try this place because of the good reviews. There was a lineup on a Tuesday night! Crazy. I ordered squash fritters and pad thai. Good...but not mind-blowingly amazing. Will come back another time, but not in a rush to do so anytime soon.

Question: How is experience?

nice location in the distillery district and nice decor. however, the service and food was nothing special. our waitress was slow and seemed a little clueless, and it was one of the other waitresses that checked in on us and our food. vegetarian burrito was meh, and the churros were okay. best part was probably the margaritas - mango and watermelon. really pricey for the quality.

Question: How is the service in that place?

Not a great evening out. Met friends after work for dinner and they suggested El Catrin. We sat on the patio which was questionable because it was too cold and very windy. The fire pit was burning and the heaters were trying to keep us warm but it wasn't working. We were cold but decided to stick it out. We had margaritas which were pretty good. We mentioned to the waitress we were heading to a show at 8, she said no problem that she would mention it to the chef. We started with the guacamole- delicious, I mean really good. The rest of the food arrived reasonably quickly. Because it's tapas, the first few dishes arrived. My wife asked for napkins and cutlery, I'm guessing the server must have mis-heard because she brought 2 cocktail napkins. Since our table had 4 people, my wife asked for more, the server than disappeared. Our next meal arrives via a different server, again we asked for cutlery and napkins, and the second server seemed surprised by the ask. He brought cutlery and napkins, by the time he returned the meal was starting to cool down. Now the first server returned with more cocktail napkins. The food was pretty tasty, but portion sizes were way too small for the price, IMO. And now the bill. We waited and waited, but our waitress was no where around.  We finally asked another server to get our bill, she tracked down our waitress and she brought the bill and promptly disappeared again.  She returned a few minutes later. Not great service. The patio is nice. (Trying to be positive)Overall, mediocre at best. I will not return.

Question: Does the hotel offer huge menu?

Exquisite! If I could give this 20 stars, I would. I have eaten at many good restaurants, and this is the best in a while. We began with the fig salad, with pistachios and soft white cheese and greens. Our neighbors at the table on either side each asked, Wow, what is that? For the main course my mother had the fluke, which came in a creamy and buttery sauce; I am vegetarian and found many good choices on the menu and chose the Turkish manti dumplings with eggplant in a spicy sauce. Then how could we resist dessert? Mom chose an apricot ice cream, which arrived topped with a fluff of white cotton candy; and a Turkish coffee chocolate gelato, which was dark and wonderful. I had a Kanafi, a savory and sweet pastry of dense phyllo in cardamom syrup, topped with a licorice Arak ice cream and surrounded by flower petals. If I ever come back to this downtown again, I'm be back!

Question: How is the service?

Like many others, I broke down my review as such:Food - 3.5Views - 5Service - 5Uniqueness - 5So, I'm a fan.  Obviously, eating atop a giant tower in a revolving restaurant will inflate food and drink prices a bit.  There are two- and three-course meal options available and a la carte selections.  The meal options are a way better deal because you get similar (or the same) entree with additional food.  The three-course menu was $79CAD per person (about $60US per person).  Drinks were $5-$10US, so typical of a restaurant/bar.  Some of the cocktails were a bit pricier but also fancier so you get what you pay for.  I enjoyed my soup (yellow tomato and corn gazpacho) and baked ziti with wild mushrooms.  There weren't a ton of mushrooms in the entree, but the ziti and chili sauce were delicious.  My husband got the aged ribeye entree and really enjoyed it.  It was a little too rare (even though he ordered medium rare) so maybe make sure they cook it medium throughout and not just one section of the cut.  Since they served bread before the meal, I filled up on a bit too much of that (there was some waiting between app and entree) so I almost couldn't finish my dessert.  I had the sorbet which was delicious and my husband had ice cream and cookies, which he loved.  The homemade fig newton was yummo.   Obviously, the view is excellent.  It takes 72 minutes for the restaurant to make one full rotation and they seem to have dinner timed pretty well to coincide with that revolution.  We basically ended where we started (a little later) so we were only up there for like 90 minutes.  Even though there are a lot of people, it didn't seem too loud and our server was funny and there whenever we needed him.  We actually witnessed a proposal in their wine cellar which was super cute and the couple was obviously ecstatic.  This was a great place to spend our 5th wedding anniversary.  We enjoyed the views, the bar below was quick and not super full while we waited for our reservation time, and our dinner came with complete access to the two levels of viewing decks, including the glass floor.  We spent a bit of time down there after the meal and really enjoyed ourselves, even though it was still crowded for 11 p.m. Reservations are easy to make on their website so make sure you do that because it seemed like 95% of the tables were reserved when we arrived at 9 p.m.

Question: How is the service in that place?

This place has gone down hill. I last visited this place a few months ago and had such an awful experience that I could've sworn I reviewed it. But some how that review is no longer here. So I'm going to post it again. I've been coming here for years. When this place first opened and the original owners were still here, I think I came 5-6 times a month. I was addicted. The last few times, I started seeing some changes. I didn't think much of it until I started noticing the food quality going down. That prompted me to do a bit of research and that's when I learned how the original owners, Jeff and Nuit Regular, had a falling out with their (former) partner Monte Wan. Clearly the awfulness that is now Khao San Road has to do with Wan's influence. First, the service was atrocious. I ordered my usual which was squash fritters and pad gra prao. I noticed there were some new spice levels. So I asked for Thai spicy. Immediately the waitress gave me this look and asked if I had that level before. Technically I haven't because I haven't had to order a level before. She immediately followed up her question with because if you find it too spicy we won't fix it for you. WTF. 1) I just wanted it as spicy as it used to be. 2) I don't know how spicy is your Thai spicy without trying it first and 3) learn some customer service skills before you work in this industry. In the meantime, STFU bitch. Now, the food quality has definitely changed. So it's not like the food is so amazing that it can excuse the shit rules and service. I'm reading the recent reviews and I don't know how people are still saying it's amazing. Really?! The squash fritters tasted pre-fried and sitting out for awhile and the pad gra prao was under seasoned. Are they using Thai basil now or something? It's definitely different. I realize that I must sound like I work for Pai, the Regulars's new place, or I'm affiliated with them or something. Well I don't and I haven't even tried Pai yet. I just found out about it so I look forward to trying it in the near future. I noticed they have pad gra prao on the menu so I can't wait. I know Nuit Regular will make it right.

Question: How is the flavour of food there?

This is my new favourite place to grab lunch or a snack. Everything is reasonably priced and the portions are decent. There are very limited seats, but turnover is usually high as it takes no time to scarf down a couple tacos or a banh mi.My favourites so far are the five spice pork belly bao, the squid taco, and the kimchi fries. The soft baos are the perfect vessels as they soak up all those delicious juices. The five spiced pork belly is full of flavour and tender too. A squid taco sounded scary and not very appetizing at first, but I'm glad I conquered that fear because it's seriously delicious. The crunchy breading, the sweet squid, the tangy mayo along with the pickled veggies and cilantro work so well together. Lastly the kimchi fries were so generously portioned, and only $5.99, I would have been satisfied just eating them all on their own. Again there's a great blend of flavours (spicy, salty, sweet, tangy) and textures (crunchy, creamy) that make this a winning option.Definitely stop by if you haven't already, but be prepared to do some waiting as the kitchen gets backed up during peak times.

Question: How is the chicken?

This may be the best fried chicken I've ever had! and maybe the friendliest staff I've ever encountered too!!This certainly isn't a place to go if you're a health nut but if you're after some excellent BBQ then I highly recommend Stockyards. We shared the fried chicken dinner and brisket sandwich & both were incredible. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly & one of the chefs topped up our fries because he'd just made a fresh batch and he said they'd be better- so nice!! The original fries we had were still delicious!It's a really casual atmosphere & feels like a favorite neighborhood local because almost every staff member popped their heads over to see how we were doing and have a chat. It's a small venue so time your visit we'll but definitely a must do for st Clair west.

Question: Where is the portion?

On our trip to Toronto, we stopped here because it was somewhat near our hotel and had good reviews. We managed to get a spot at the bar-- try and make a reservation! It fills up fast and for good reason.The service was wonderful and friendly. We both ordered the Pad Thai (no spice and mild, which had quite a kick!) and the Winter Dog, which was a great drink!It's a little loud here, but not in a bad way. Just a lot of happy folks chatting. The food was delicious and the portion generous for the price. They take card. We'd for sure go again! Thanks for making our last dinner in Toronto a great one, Pai! :)

Question: How is the time?

On my Toronto visit, wanted to dine in the Fashion District off Queen's street. This place was POPPIN!  Loud and busy, filled with beautiful people!  2nd floor is the ideal rooftop dining.  Seats/tables are small and uncomfortable but you'll put up with it once you've had a bite of their food.Kale Salad and Funghi Pasta was the highlight of the night!  We came back to this place twice because I loved my meal so much!  Thank you for a wonderful time!

Seats/tables are small and uncomfortable but you'll put up with it once you've had a bite of their food. Kale Salad and Funghi Pasta was the highlight of the night! We came back to this place twice because I loved my meal so much! Thank you for <hl> a wonderful time ! <hl>

Question: How is everything?

I decided to eat my way through Kensington Market by small items from a bunch of different restaurants this was my first stop and by far my favourite!The place itself is super small with mostly standing room to eat but they have additional seating in a unit across the street which also serves alcohol and soups. I decided to just eat my 2 tacos standing by the window people watching and I don't regret my decision at all. Kensington Market is a great place to people watch and there's no better way to do it then enjoying some good food. I had the Baja Taco and the pulled pork taco. The pulled pork taco was good although it just wasn't exactly how I like my pulled pork but I find I don't like much pulled pork from restaurants as I like mine spicy and not BBQ-esque. The Baja though was amazing! If you only want to have one Taco I recommend the Baja it was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly! I can't rave enough!!!The tacos here are HUGGGGGEE! So 3 or 4 will fill up most people! The staff is friendly and efficient you don't have to wait too long for your food! I will definitely be back soon!

Question: How do you prefer meat?

Coming with pretty high expectations after reading all the Yelp reviews,  The Stockyards definitely did not disappoint. I tried the famous buttermilk fried chicken and boy, was it amazing. So crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside. Not to mention that the fries that comes with it are awesome. Wife had the brisket sandwich. The portion was huge, and the meat was so soft. Definitely worth the trip from Ajax :) We came around lunchtime and it was pretty packed but I think everyone was just finishing lunch because within 15 minutes it was empty. A little pricey but worth the money. Bill came to about 50 bucks, tax and tip included.

Question: How was the waiter's help?

Really loved this place - great atmosphere, service was fantastic and food was unique and tasty. Had the calamari - nothing too special there but was good. My favourite was oyster mushroom, cheese, and fig flatbread was a really great combo. Overall, really great food that you definitely won't see elsewhere.

Question: How was the dim sum?

Best dim sum I've ever had! I lived in China for a while and this place was better than anything I can remember. I've not been a huge fan of dim sum due to lots of disappointing experiences, but somehow Dim Sum King changed everything. My life is now brighter and it feels good to be alive. Before this life-altering experience, everything was a little bit grey, but I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun-shiny day.

Question: What would a quick dinner be like?

First impression was there's nowhere to sit. Seats are hard to come by since there are only a handful of tables and chairs. They do have a standing bar in the right wall which is convenient if you're on the run or just grabbing a quick bite by yourself. PORK BELLY BUN --The pork belly was so good! I can appreciate me a really good, nice piece of pork belly & fat - and oh my. It wasn't dry at all and wasn't too fatty. The bun wasn't too doughy either which I liked. It had a nice chewy texture rather than being too soft. In my opinion could have been a little bit sweeter, but good no less. PORK BANH MI --I don't know if they put crack in the mayo, but it is so good. The marinated meat had a good flavor on it's own. With the mayo...forget about it. Greatness. The pickled veggies are usually my favorite part of Vietnamese sandwiches and the cilantro. I'm glad they weren't skimpy with it. Nice thin layers/cuts of cucumber were great. I prefer it to those thick cuts normally serviced in banh mi. I think the bread is what makes or breaks the banh mi. The baguette was nice and soft. Little bit of crisp, but not to the point you're shaving off the roof of your mouth. Thumbs up. Overall enjoyable. I was from out of town and my friend always wanted to try this place so we thought we would give it a go. It was really reasonably priced. I thought it was pretty interesting their fusion type approach with korean and other Asian flavors. Recommend giving it a try when you're looking for something easy and quick.

Question: Why do I enjoy coming here for a beer and lunch?

We were supposed to dine here our first night in Toronto; but do to flight delays, we missed our dinner reservation. Since the restaurant is closed on the weekends and we were just visiting for a long weekend, we opted for lunch on our last day (Monday afternoon). I'm so glad that we ended on a high note!!! Canoe was awesome from start to finish.Food: Lobster clubhouse salad - the waiter suggested that I turn the lobster clubhouse sandwich into a salad. THANK YOU!!! It was amazing!! Fresh and light, but still had elements of a club sandwich. Steak tartare - good appetizer, very fresh, went well with the crostini and the house bread. Romaine salad - nice and light with fresh ingredients.  Steak frites - quality of the steak was better than what you would typically expect for steak frites. I believe it was a filet. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned well.Butter tart - WOW!!!! GLORY!!!! It was indescribable! The desserts were just outstanding. It's been a few days and I'm still thinking about cake, toffee, ice cream, etc. Pure perfection.Milk chocolate peanut caramel - Yes, I will take two, please!!! The whipped cream, ice cream, caramel, peanuts and cake sent me over the edge!!! The wines by the bottle and glass were superb. We had a bottle of Pinot Noir from Oregon and glasses of Sauvignon Blanc from Niagara The room and view are worth coming here on their own. The service was great. I will definitely come back for dinner and lunch, if I find myself back in Toronto.

Question: How did you like the restaurant?

This is just a short review based on my several times of dining out at Canoe.Only Con - it is expensive, very expensive. But, I suppose that is what you have to pay to get food this flavorful at an upscale restauranteOkay, with the negative out the way I will move onto the positives which is where my 5 stars come from:FOOD -  AMAZING! One of the few restaurants where I have put a spoon or fork into my mouth, closed my eyes and was taken to another place. Exquisite combintation of flavours and textures. Just sublime. I remember, once for Winterlicious, I had some sort of salad scattered with crab or lobster and avocado veloute - divine. I remember, another time a while back, I had this apple crumble - sensational. I also loved the Alberta lamb and lentil dish.  SERVICE - exceptional, extremely professional. Probably my favourite restaurant in Toronto. If I only had more money, I`d be a regular.
