Question: How much experience do you have?

I've been here before and enjoyed the ramen here.  But things have changed for the worst since the last time I was here.  The ramen was ok but what was really bad was the service.  I think I've got better service at Coffee Time with incompetent staff who mixed up coffee and tea.  I should have got the hint when I was there at prime dinner time and it was practically empty when places like Sansotei and other Ramen joints were packed and lined up out the door.I quickly realized why.  The waitresses were not friendly.  They started off be telling us they have a $10 per person minimum.  That is okay we ordered a $19 combo to share plus a dessert (a slice of cheesecake for $4) and was considering to try out their drink.  I wasn't that hungry at the time I just wanted to try their dessert.  The waitress said that does not count towards the $10 minimum per person as in if someone in your group ordered a $20 meal the other people still have to order $10 minimum.  I've never heard of that before!  That is completely retarded, the restaurant was empty, I was ready to walk out but my husband really enjoyed this place and it was our date night so I didn't want to ruin the mood.So we were forced to order another ramen that I barely touched.  I can't say much about the ramen but the green tea cheesecake was nothing special.  My husband is a ramen fanatic and said the quality has gone way down.  Next time we want ramen we won't be coming back here ever and we will be telling all our friends the shitty service.  I'll take Sansotei over this anytime even if I have to line up outside in dead winter, in fact I'll even take Kenzo Ramen over this sorry place.

Question: How is the quality of the dish?

WHAT TO TRY?!Their sake bombs. It's a popular drink here! For $5 you get a shot of sake in a cup of beer. But not only that, you get to experience the fun part of having the whole restaurant get all revved up as you take this same bomb challenge. A waiter will yell sake and you yell bomb. After three instances of shouting back and forth, you rumble the table to have the sake shot drop into your beer before downing it in one go. Quite fun!Their tapas style dishes are great too. I recommend the sashimi dishes here and the takoyaki too. You can see in my pictures what I had and I loved all the dishes I ordered! The ambiance in this restaurant has always been loud and lively so if you're not up for that, this restaurant may not be the best choice for you. Many come here for a birthday celebration or celebrating something because the bigger your group, the more it is when you do a sake bomb. The only thing I want to warn you is about the pace of the service. Because they are so busy, sometimes it will take a bit longer for them to get the food to you or they simply forgot about your beer order. So be patient and be prepared to follow up with a waiter on your order!!LAST TIP?!The bill can quickly add up because you want to try everything but a good rule of thumb is to order two dishes per person to start and then order more as you go along your meal! Enjoy the izakaya!!

Question: Do you have something food for brunch or what?

I discovered this place and went on a Thursday evening to enjoy some martinis with a fellow Yelper. They have a great selection of drinks/martinis and a happy hour, so it was a great evening and the first time I tried chocolate Martini (and not the last one, yummy!!!).I left Insomnia wanting to come back to have a brunch, so I did. I was not disappointed! Great ambience for a brunch, cool menu with lots of options, lots of tables available (it was extremely packed on Sunday morning but we were able to get a table inside anyway without a reservation), delicious food and friendly service. I decided to try the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and they were delicious, the portion was huge - I ended up so full but it was so tasty. I had to finish everything on the plate!Keep Insomnia in mind if you are looking for a place to have a nice brunch.

Question: Was the food cheap and fill your tummy?

Was taken here last night for a first date, and although not the most romantic venue in the world, our dinner was delicious! I had the rare beef and it was delicious, spicy and delicious, noodles were well cooked.  Pho portions always blow my mind and somewhat small tummy away. I finished maybe a third there, just ate some for lunch, and I'll prob finish it off for dinner. At about 8.50 pp, that's a pretty stellar deal.NB, Cash only.

Question: How is the food?

Omg, so much food! The seafood is soooo meaty! Streamed crab and garlic lobster were my favorite, but everything was very good. Somebody else ordered so I don't even know the names of the dishes that we got... But the rice made from the crab juice was fabulous! Our last dish was a huge eel... It had a different smell to it, it was black bean sauce but it had another taste /smell I couldn't put my finger on.... But we were already stuffed anyways. It was still pretty good (the eel) but just not up my alley. I prefer it de-boned on sushi with that sweet sauce. The meal here was awesome, filled me up, and was a great price! The little plastic gloves to wear while eating are cute and innovative but I felt like a freak!

Question: How is bowl?

- What I have tried     + Special Lanzhou noodles (4.5/5): I got size 3 for noodles thickness and mild spicy (basically just additional of chilly oil). I recommend get the non-spicy one because they provide chilli oil on each table so u can adjust your spiciness, I found the soup was too spicy. The noodles was chewy and i thought size 3 was perfect. The soup was good but without chilli oil it would be a bit bland, I wish it was sweeter so I don't need to add chilli oil. One more thing is they gave too little of meat and each slice of meat was extremely thin. But overall, the bowl was good, I thought it was much better than the dry noodles.      + Noodles with homemade pork sauce (3/5): this is dry noodles with pork sauce and different types of veggies, comes with a small bowl of soup (the soup was bland). I got flat noodles for this bowl. Again the noodles texture was pretty good, but the pork sauce was too salty for my taste. On the other hand, my bf loved the pork sauce but he also agreed that he still preferred Lanzhou noodles over this bowl. Pork sauce noodles came in one size which was large and we couldn't finish it. - Portion: Small bowl here is similar to medium or large bowl in pho store, good for one person. - Price: $7.99 for a small Lanzhou noodles and $10.99 for large pork sauce noodles. This is a pretty good deal for a big bowl of noodles that you can find in downtown. - Customer service was good and fast, their accents are not strong at all (as compared to other Chinese restaurants).- Place is small, we came around 8:20pm and did lineup for about 10 mins for a table of 2.

Question: How is the french toast like?

Before going to this cute little spot in leslieville I drove by many times and the line up was out the door. I definitely don't want to stand in line for brunch but had to find out what all the hype was about. I went on a Wednesday at around 11:00 am and success no line. It's a cute spot with a nice little patio on the side. The seating was kind of awkward by the door but I was just happy to have a seat outside. We started with Pomegrante Mimosas which were delicious. I ordered the Quiche of the Day which was Quiche Lorrene. I make Quiche regularly and order it all the time...it's one of my favourites. This Quiche was out of this world!! And the salad OMG I never thought I would like salad so much, I wish I bought the dressing from inside. My friend had the French Toast which was also amazing, aparently they take all there left over pasteries from the night before rip them up and combined them together to make almost like a bread pudding....bottom line TO DIE FOR. I think the food is worth the line up. I can't wait to go back.

Question: Is this place big enough?

I've been here a few times and seems to be a hip place to be. The restaurant is located down the stairs and underground. It's kind of odd that they don't take reservations but usually you get a seat on walk-ins. They have a decent food menu with a good selection of appetizers and entrees. I mostly ordered appetizers. I ordered the classic poutine and the potatoes skin with dip. I didn't find the potatoes skins dip very appetizing at all and the poutine was just alright. As for drinks, their selection is pretty good as they have many kinds of beers on tap, cask beers, wines, cider and much more to cater to everyone's drinking needs! Overall, a decent place to grab a bite in the St. Lawrence Market area.

Question: How is the quality of eat?

This was my first time going here, I had heard lots about it but never experienced it for myself. As soon as we got there we were seated and I loved the atmosphere. You can't beat the prices of the food, and the drinks were SO good. Is it weird I didn't want to leave? It felt like hanging out with a bunch of friends the whole time. Super friendly. Would recommend A++

Question: How good is the quality of the screen?

Came here after hearing great things about the staff and also the wings. We went on a Wednesday night and the place was in full swing due to the leafs having a game. Started off with the garlic cheesy bread. You can't miss with that as an appetizer and we weren't disappointed. Next we ordered 2 pounds of wings and asked the server for sauce recommendations. He suggested we try one wet sauce and then baked wings. They were definitely worth the wait. So good in fact, we ordered 2 additional pounds after the first 2. Not many places get how to make good wings. I would easily come back and eat here again. If you're a wing lover you will not be disappointed.

Question: How is it the experience?

I'm a huge fan of Jamie Oliver's cooking, so I was understandably quite excited to give Jamie's Italian a try. We showed up before 11:30 on a Saturday and the place was already filling up, but we were shown to a comfortable booth right by the kitchen almost immediately.I knew what I was going to order before I had even arrived, but we also wanted to try an appetizer. We noticed four different kinds of bruschetta on the menu, so we figured that would be the best bet. We ordered the Tomato & Ricotta Bruschetta, which is advertised as coming with artisanal ricotta, basil & tomatoes on garlicky-rubbed ciabatta.When it arrived about ten minutes later, we were shocked at how small it was. Once we cut it in half, we both received about two (small) bites. Aside from that, the dish simply wasn't that great. The ricotta was fine, but I didn't taste any basil or garlic and the tomatoes were just cherry tomatoes that had been cut in half. An extremely lazy effort that's disastrously overpriced at $9.95.For the main, I ordered Tagliatelle Bolognese, described as Gennaro's original pork & beef Bolognese recipe, slow cooked & served with pangrattato & Parmigiano Reggiano. While we were waiting, I had my eye on the kitchen and I noticed two bowls of pasta sitting there for quite some time and I was silently praying to myself, please don't be our food, please don't be our food, please don't be our food...It was our food.It was served almost 10 minutes after it had been prepared and the dish suffered because of it. The Bolognese sauce itself was pretty tasty, though it was way, way too salty. But the pasta, because the dish had been sitting out so long, had essentially all clumped together and become one big piece. This was especially evident towards the bottom of the bowl, where the pasta had become one oversized chunk of mush. Oh, and the dish wasn't even remotely hot, of course.I'm not sure I understand how it's considered acceptable to serve food that's been sitting out like that. Both dishes should have been scrapped and made over again. A seriously disappointing experience.

Question: How is the place?

I am too old for this place; La Carnita is a Mexican-inspired modern/fusion restaurant.  I have no idea if the bathroom is accessible because I couldn't reach it.  Full disclosure; I went on a Saturday night with my BFF.  I don't normally go out to popular places on a Saturday because I hate busy places.  And THIS PLACE WAS SO BUSY!The food was delicious but NOT vegan friendly.  There are LOTS of vegetarian options, but I wouldn't bring a vegan because most of the non-meat dishes are covered in cheese.  My BFF and I ordered the nachos with salsa, cheese and guacamole.  It was VERY good!  In fact, everything we ordered was delicious.  I would have ordered more if I had had room in my belly.My ideal for this place would be if I could order food to go.  I can't deal with being squashed next to the person next to me, able to hear all of their conversation.  I like space and quiet.  This place has neither.  I would return here if La Carnita didn't have such problematic issues with social media.

Question: How is the food?

In search of a King West Patio we stumbled upon Gabby's. This particular stretch of King West is known for a variety of tourist friendly mostly upscale restaurants, which is why I was surprised that Gabby's was relatively affordable. We came on a somewhat chilly summer eve and managed to find great spots on the patio. Only downside is that the terrible top 40 music was at full blast, negating most of our ability to have a conversation. Our true mission was however to grab some dinner, and seeing as it's hard to talk with a mouth full of food, I quickly tuned the music out and poured over the menu.I already mentioned that the food is relatively affordable, it's the standard pub fare with some surprises thrown in. I had a desperate craving for something on par with the BQM Ossington Burger. SoI ordered the mushroom burger, I asked for a substitute of goat cheese instead of the cheddar which cost an extra dollar. I think that's a bit nuts for a simple switch of the cheese.Cue flavour explosion in my mouth. Give me mushrooms and goat cheese any day and I'm a happy camper, these two secret ingredients made the very average but well cooked hamburger patty do a flavour dance in my mouth.  Craving satisfied in a huge way. I see Gabby's becoming a summer staple in my constant search for the best patios in the city.

Question: How is the dinner?

I finally had the chance to try Jacobs and Co. recently and it's as good as it gets. As one of Toronto's best steakhouses you pay a steep price for the quality of beefs that are available (as well as the service...which is a huge part of the dining experience). The restaurant itself is on a side street near the bustle of King/Spadina. Upon entering you feel how upscale and classy the place is. I made reservations for my boyfriend and I a month in advance because we wanted to go somewhere special for Christmas dinner. We arrived 10 mins late but that was not a problem. We were quickly asked if we wanted to check our coats and seated. The restaurant itself was not full but I assume that is because they want to maintain the high quality of service it's customers receive.We ordered two 9oz glasses of the Syrah from France and were given complimentary cheddar poppers. These poppers were amazing...piping hot and delicious (even without the butter). I refrained from eating all of mine just because I wanted to make sure I saved enough room for the main attraction (the steaks!). We also ordered a table side caesar to share which was great as well.For the steaks, we shared two cuts of beef as well as 2 half sides (the duck fat french fried potatoes (which were delicious) as well as the roasted beefsteak tomatoes). We ordered a 18oz bone-in striploin from NE, USA as well as a 6oz tenderloin from Japan (A5 Black Tajima-Gunma Prefecture). You cannot come to this place and not get Wagyu from Japan. It is a must because the quality of the beef is absolutely delicious. With the two different cuts of meat from the different regions of the world, you can taste the difference in quality. The Wagyu from Japan was simply buttery and melt in your mouth while the US striploin had a tougher texture (in comparison). Both steaks were done to medium rare as we requested and the Syrah we had ordered complimented the meat very well. We were both satisfied and full that we did not even bother to order dessert. At the end of the meal we were given petit fours and 2 muffins to bring home. The service at Jacobs and Co is what you would expect from a high-end restaurant. The waiters are attentive and knowledgeable when questions are asked. Tables are wiped after every course and water/wine is refilled if need be (without asking). The staff working there will move out of your way when you are walking past them to make sure you feel important and catered to. I would expect nothing less from a high end restaurant and Jacobs and Co delivered. Great experience overall and my boyfriend and I left feeling satisfied and happy.

Question: How many sauce they provide?

I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally decided we should give it a try for our anniversary dinner. I made our reservation well in advance and showed up prompt at 6:30pm. Although it was a Tuesday night the place was pretty packed. We were greeted by a lovely hostess who led us to our table on the 2nd floor. Our table was located against a grey leather banquet in the left corner. I think this had to be the best table on that level as it was far enough away from the  other 2 adjacent tables and we had the whole corner to ourselves which gave us a great view of the entire floor.The menu here is predominantly mediterranean and served tapas style meant for sharing. Our waiter was really attentive all night long and each dish came out in a timely manner giving us plenty of time to enjoy one before the next course arrived. I also really enjoyed how the waiter would describe everything on plate as they delivered it to us.We started off with the Fig Salad which has to be one of the best salad i've ever had! It was so fresh with bright citrus flavours. I loved the crunch from the roasted pistachios, and the creamy salty bits of Ackawi cheese which was a nice contrast against the sweet figs. There were also notes of cardamom in the salad which was surprising to taste yet it complimented the dish so well.Next came the Lamb Ribs. I absolutely love lamb but have never had the ribs before and these were exquisite! The meat was soo tender, juicy, and flavourful and I adored the contrast of crunchy salty coating.For mains we had to have the Daily Chargrilled Fish which happened to be Red Snapper. The presentation of the snapper was really breath taking. The fish came out whole with head and tail and was nicely deboned. The fish was covered in mixture of herbs and pickled cucumbers with charred lemons on the side. This fish itself was really moist and the abundant coating of herbs gave the sweet flesh another subtle dimension of fresh flavour. For rice we went with the Oxtail Basmati Rice. I loved that the rice was topped with the crunchy fried kale and the chunks of oxtail mixed in was so tender and flavourful. Make sure you give this rice a good mix before serving so you get a little bit of everything mixed in.For a side we chose the Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Halloumi cheese. Again such a unique combination of flavours. The crispy halloumi paired so well with the roasted brussel sprouts drizzled with the creamy yogurt sauce we couldn't get enough of them!Although I was stuffed at this point I couldn't resist trying some some there enticing desserts.The Chocolate Mousse was soo creamy and light and not too sweet. I loved the bits of broken baklava to add some crunch and spots of chocolate sauce on plate to intensify the chocolate flavour.Burnt Honey Ice cream had a wonderful roasted honey flavourful with notes of vanilla and topped with a wedge of sponge toffee on top.Turkish Coffee Ice cream was soo creamy and rich with a chocolate base and notes coffee in the background topped with chocolate shavingsFinally I had a Moroccan Mint Tea to wash it all down which had a mild mint flavour served in glass tumbler piping hot with mint leaves floating on top was the perfect way to end a glorious meal.I can totally see why people are flocking here. This meal will definitely go down in one of my top 10 most memorable meals! The service here is top notch and the flavours are so unique and amazing. Everything is presented so beautifully and plated with care. The servers know what there doing and they play 80s music in the background. What more could you ask for!

Question: What was the texture like?

Amazing cheesecake! I waited in line and it was totally worth the wait. Sooo good. I also tried their Angel Hat original cheesecake, a small sized one for 10.00. It was really moist in texture and a bit different from the original cheesecake but still just as good. Then headed over to their match store for some Madeleines which where tasty for breakfast. =)

Answer: It was really moist in texture

Amazing cheesecake! I waited in line and it was totally worth the wait. Sooo good. I also tried their Angel Hat original cheesecake, a small sized one for 10.00. <hl> It was really moist in texture and a bit different from the original cheesecake but still just as good. <hl> Then headed over to their match store for some Madeleines which where tasty for breakfast. =)

Question: How would you describe the atmosphere of the dinner?

Lunch pricing was excellent, $29 for lots of sampler dishes got me very full.  Second time for dinner was very pricey but partly because we ordered the (delicious) plum wine which increased costs.  Food is impeccable, we had seared sashimi which was rich in ingredients and presentation.  A recommend to anyone in the area, or just enthusiasts looking for some quality a la carte sushi.

Question: How is Everything?

Why go anywhere else for a special occasion? Just took my brother here for his 50th. The service, food and view are spectacular. Year over year I have never been disappointed - from cocktails on. Best restaurant in the city. Skip the trendy spots that are so often overrated and go here. It is always not a good experience but truly excellent. My favourite.

Question: How is the presentation?

Owner is very friendly! He some times gives us free ice cream and agedashi tofu with our meals. My hubby and I usually get the small boat to share and it is excellent. The sushi served with the boat is not always the same, so that is nice, the chef gives you what is in season. Other items on the menu such as the eggplant are all very good and fresh.

Question: How relaxing is the water in this spot?

Wvrst is very cool! The interior and the counter systems are fresh and interesting. They have an impressive beer selection and the sausages are really delicious! Good taste combinations and the sauces are wonderful. When I first went to Wvrst it wasn't that full. But I've understood that the place is very popular and I can imagine it can get very loud there.Worth a visit!

Question: How is food?

Really great service, fantastic location,the food though, is more miss than hit. I was sorely disappointed when the wings came through over-fried and tough like leather. We had an oyster special on one visit that were decent, kind of Rockefeller style. Salty, with intense flavor, creamy and a yummy bread crumb topping. Other menu items we had were mediocore at best. While the presentations were nice to look at,  it just didn't quite come together where it counts: on my tongue.The lakefront patio is a great visit for the relaxing view. The beer list is extensive with lots of more 'exotic' choices like $50+ bottles of beer from hidden European monasteries. If you don't have a car, or a random bike handy, it's currently difficult to get to on foot from the Queens Quay streetcar stop. There really isn't really a sidewalk on parts of the journey. Lots of overly made up people in killer heels or perfectly pressed suits. It's great for people watching.

Question: How is the vibe?

A great find in the big city. I was meeting my sister for her birthday and she suggested this as a good place to start off for a drink. I actually used to work near by and didn't know about this pub. We tried a number of others nearby and always wanted something else. I really wish we had found this earlier it is just a great place for a drink or a meal.Now it wasn't really patio weather when we went but it looks to have a nice one and will be sure to check it out ASAP. The service was great very nice people and the drinks where tasty and fun with name reflecting the village.

Question: What is the quality of flavour?

As usual I have nothing but good things to say about this place!!! 10/10 for service, quality, taste, ambiance and cleanliness ! I am addicted to Sashimi/ Sushi. And this is my weekly go to. I suggest lunch is the best bang for your buck. The portions seem much larger during lunch, their dinner is more dainty and just a over charged price for mostly all the same stuff. Our main things is always Botan ebi, Uni, and hotate sashimi. We order the premium sushi plate to get a little taste of the oshi, aburi and sushi. Miku roll definitly our favourite with the flame seared fish top and rolled in tobiko! And for deep fried lovers definitly try the Ebi Fritters, with teriyaki and spicy mayo. Mmm mmm!Miku Chopped salad is so delicious with the Tempè, avocado, and pears. Overall it is a pricy habit yes but you will never be disappointed with this place! Every flavour is impeccably amazing.

Question: How is it the fish?

I live in the area and popped in here on a whim with my boyfriend on a Friday night. We only had to wait 15 minutes so we had a quick beer at a bar close by, came back, and were seated right away. We ordered some Electric Lagers to sip on as we took a peep at the taco selection. We started with two orders each of the baja fish, spicy arbol chicken, beef cheek, and shrimp. We loved all of them and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. My boyfriend even enjoyed the beef cheek and he's a guy who is iffy about these sort of things. The spicy arbol chicken was delightfully spicy and the shrimp tacos were great, but the standout for me was the baja fish. The fish was perfectly crispy and the sauce was very tasty. I don't know if it was because I had just gotten over the flu or if the tacos were exceptional, but I could not stop eating. We ordered two more orders of the baja fish and shrimp and then decided to cut ourselves off. We sat at the bar and the bartender taking care of us was absolutely lovely, but I was made uncomfortable by the hostess when we first showed up...like I was not worthy. I'm from New York so I'm used to that sort of constant abuse by strangers, but for such a cool spot with great food, that sort of attitude just seems out of place.

Question: What do you think about ambience?

As a local Torontonian, I find that restaurants in Toronto are plentiful. However, when it comes to their decor, it is almost as if they try too hard to say look at how wonderful our space is! and then lack on continuity when it comes to the food.Byblos is a fusion of Middle Eastern Food, yes. The decor is very modern with a vintage feel as if you're in an upscale New York members only bar. With rustic wall art and half circle benches, it is pretty neat to see how it is decorated but there is no Middle Eastern feel. We were greeted by our server who was courtesy. One of the my biggest pet peeves however is when you enter a restaurant in Toronto and are advised once seated that the menu is tapas style. This to me translates to We serve you less portions but charge you more. which is pretty much what we encountered.The server did advise us on how the menu worked and made suggestions on how much to order for our party. To me, this is a turn off as now we are ordering more smaller dishes to share as opposed to just ordering what we wanted. Nonetheless, the food was well presented and very tasty, but, portions were small.The entrees themselves, were very big. A friend ordered the Red Snapper which I have to admit, was really good and I do not eat fish at all. The Cornish Hen is plentiful and that can be shared with 3 people for sure. This would have been helpful to have been advised instead of ordering so many smaller tapas styles items.In addition, one turn off as well is that the kitchen staff come out to serve the food and advise what the food is. On our night, it was very loud and we could not hear the chefs at allIf you are dining with 2 people, with appetizers, a drink each, main, dessert and a tip, expect to pay over $100 for sure. Byblos is a great place for celebrating an event, great first date, if you're in Toronto and want to splurge but if you're traveling and are watching your wallet, I would suggest other establishments.
