We choose Blu for my daughter's wedding dinner with a guest count of 26. The restaurant provided us with a nice semi-private space for our event, and we opted for a fixed menu that offered a well-balanced selection of 4 appetizers, 4 main dishes, and 4 types of desserts. It was wonderful to have the freedom to choose our drinks as well. The food and the overall atmosphere were very satisfying. All the dishes from the menu were top-notch in terms of taste and presentation, leaving a spectacular impression on everyone; our guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and wished the newlyweds well. Though the restaurant did an excellent job overall, I have a few suggestions for improvement. Firstly, the live music in the second-floor hall was barely audible, and it would have been great if it could be made more prominent. Secondly, the guests were not informed about the menu items, leading to some of them not making the ideal choices for themselves. This resulted in guests exchanging dishes among themselves after they were served. Additionally, I expected a bit more attention and involvement from the waiters, especially considering we spent around $4000 on the dinner for 26 guests including 4 children and 11 adults with soft drinks . Despite these points, the pleasant atmosphere and fantastic food make Blu restaurant a definite recommendation for family celebrations.

Absolutely phenomenal. The staff went above and beyond, and were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the food and where it was sourced from. The presentation was grade A, and the food itself was phenomenal. I have zero complaints. They even printed a personalized note and had it sitting on the table upon arrival as we had attended for my mother-in-laws' birthday. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very homey and intimate. The experience from start to finish is exactly what I expect from a Michelin Star restaurant, if not more. Especially one in Toronto. This has been, BY FAR, the best restaurant experience I've had so far in Toronto.

We made a reservation for a group business lunch - we arrived a bit late but fortunately there were no problems with our reservation. We were seated and served promptly which was great given the size of our group. The food quality was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal. The restaurant was a bit loud with the other patrons which the restaurant could not control but it did take away from the atmosphere a bit. The staff let us take our time and did not rush us out after we finished our meal and paid the bill which was great service. I would definitely come back again in the future.

It was the first time going to DaiLo with much anticipation as it has been on my list for awhile now. Contrary to my anticipation, the food was unfortunately mediocre. The overall review of the food: it was mentioned to be family style dishes however the food was presented individually per portion and separated out, this is not family style. The portion is most definitely not family style type of dishes, everything was quite small for the price. Most importantly, nothing was “wow” out of the 8 different dishes we tried which is very surprising, to not be impressed with even 1 dish. Even the simplest dishes like Chinese broccoli was bland, and overall everything was pretty bland which was disappointing. I am really unsure how the 5 star reviews that rave about the food came to be.. Judging by the 8 dishes we tried, the consensus was that they are way overpriced. If they were really good, then the price would be understandable but unfortunately this was not the case. Service was great, servers were friendly and helpful with providing recommendations. Atmosphere was nothing special, I couldn’t recall anything particular about the restaurant. It was a good experience as I’ve wanted to visit this restaurant for quite some time now, but sadly I would not go back or recommend to other people as nothing really stood out nor was memorable.

Great atmosphere to the restaurant especially if you're seated with a lake view. Service was attentive and excellent overall. We had the tasting menu, the first four courses were great, layers of flavours really well combined. The 4 chip starter was amazing, that dish and the duck would easily be the top two courses of the meal. The last four were underwhelming compared to the first half. The fish while perfectly cooked, the flavour just didn't feel rounded enough with the accompanied sauce. The bison steak was cooked perfectly and flavoured well, but the wellington-like wrap tasted oily and didn't add to the dish, and the sauces also didn't round out the plate, the demi-glace was the saving grace. Both dessert courses were very rich, would have preferred something more acidic and lighter to wrap up a meal. The tasting menu took about 3hrs from start to finish. Overall a great fine dining experience.

We came here for my birthday dinner. Highly recommend this place, the food is fresh and delicious. Our server was very helpful, honestly and friendly. The atmosphere was okay nothing special. We were there for the food. Great wine list, and cocktails as well.

The best Steakhouse on Toronto. I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. She was not disappointed at all. Love the ambiance and the food. The service was excellent, and our server gave my wife dessert with a candle for her birthday. Valet parking or garage parking only. Make reservations for best seating.

My husband and I were recommended to check this place out. We are so glad we did. Everything we ordered was unique, delectable and refined. I loved that they had non-alcoholic drinks on their drinks menu, as a non-drinker it was pleasant to see they accommodated for that. The menu was also written extremely well, you didn't have excessive, fancy verbiage. The atmosphere was upscale but comfortable. The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and professional. I could go on and on. Highly recommend!

Supposedly the BEST fusion restaurant in Toronto and it may very well live up to it's reputation. Fusion of both Chinese and French cuisine that presents a intricate, creative, and above all delicious tasting menu. Officially my favorite place in Toronto. Attended with a party of 6 - we all got the Chef's tasting Menu priced at $150/person. Totally worth it! Highlights of the night were: the Singapore Style Slaw, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Oyster Shot, Wild Caramelized Black Cod and Asian Slow Braised Beef.

The food portions and taste was disappointing. If you don't want to taste your seafood, love mint and are on a diet - This is the place for you. The staff was friendly and helpful but was over the top in explaining the meals. Prior to the pandemic, this restaurant was awesome.

Definitely a steep price, but makes sense for the quality of food, care and attention. Even with staff members. From the moment you walk through the doors to when you receive back your car from valet. I don’t have much complaints about any of the dishes. Even cleanliness of the restaurant to the bathroom. Definitely recommend for any special occasions.

I was a member of a group of 7 that ate at Woods for dinner. We had a reservation for 7:30, were seated promptly, and the wait staff was very nice and gracious. The atmosphere was wonderful and the live pianist was great to listen to, however we did take a few issues to our experience as a whole. The wait time was a bit long for our entrees. Our starters had arrived within 15min of ordering, but our entrees took much longer. We ended up waiting around 90min before the entrees were all served. Granted everyone's orders were served all at once, but we felt the wait to be too long without any communication from our servers. The food itself was great, but due to the timing of all the food coming out, we found one of the dishes to be room temperature and not hot as we expected. This was disappointing. Overall it was a good experience though.

Great ambience and very romantic atmosphere. Amazing experience at Opus Restaurant. The service was impeccable! Staff was very polite and highly attentive. Our server was very pleasant, and definitely very knowledgable about the menu as he was explaining new special items they had. They have an extremely extensive wine list. Their wine selection was absolutely impressive. It took us some time to choose. If you are a wine lover, this place is for you. Every single dish was so carefully crafted and full of flavours that blended together graciously. The presentation for each dish was flawless! The tenderloin especially was very juicy and perfectly done. The seared foie gras simply melted in your mouth and the beef tartar was just amazing good. We tried 4 different desserts and they all tasted really delicious and exquisite. Opus is definitely surpassed my expectations. Highly recommend to family & friends.

Fantastic place for a dinner with a view!! We had a great time here. Food was good but this is all about the experience. If you have the opportunity do not leave Toronto without having a meal here especially during the evening. Prices are reasonable if you include the free ride up. Service was very attentive and friendly. Absolute highlights of our three week trip.

This place is absolutely amazing - the food is first class, the service is great, the atmosphere is soulful. The duck liver pate 🦆 is mind blowing - the combination with dried strawberry and strawberry sauce is something you must try! The brioche, that accompany the pate, Is delicious itself 😋 the menu changes every 3-4 weeks, so, don't hurry up with the burger - it's been in the menu for 10 years and will not disappear 😉

Absolutely love this place. Food, drinks and services are all top notch. We feel really welcomed as given enough privacy but also abundant introduction on the food and ingredients they used. The cocktails are also tasty and not overly priced like some bars in Toronto. Alo really deserves to be the no.1 restaurant in Canada. Also, you can expect to be full after finishing the 11 course dinner menu. A really unique and satisfied fine dining experience overall.

I recently dined at Canoe restaurant with a group of four on a Friday evening at 6 PM, and I must say it was an incredible experience. We had reserved a week ahead of time, and I highly recommend doing so because this place fills up fast. We opted for the tasting menu, and it exceeded our expectations. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented in unique and original ways. The creativity and attention to detail were evident in every bite, and there was a consistent theme that tied the whole menu together. The service at Canoe was top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. One of the highlights of our evening was the breathtaking views. We were fortunate enough to catch the sunset, and it created an amazing atmosphere. The restaurant's location allows for stunning vistas, making it a truly remarkable dining setting. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Canoe restaurant. The excellent food, consistently positive experiences, and remarkable atmosphere make it a must-visit. It has become one of my regular dining destinations, and I can't wait to return for more culinary delights.

Excellent experience! Beautifully restored with a wonderful and free guided tour. Staff were friendly and welcoming and willing to answer any question. Lots of historical information and time to look around each room. As well as a beautiful garden. 100% recommend for anyone traveling to Toronto.

A rainy start on a weekday made all the difference! No lineups (except the Ferris wheel) made for a fun day for a 2 1/2 year old. The only downside was a statement we read that said as long as there’s an adult, a child can ride and that’s not true. There are height restrictions so wait until they are at least 3 feet tall if you want to ride them all. We brought snacks but also bought lunch at the burger place and it was very reasonable. Cheaper than that Golden Arches place and much tastier. Splash pad was a great way to cool off later in the day. The farm animals and ducks were a hit. We were sad the train wasn’t running but all in all a successful day. One suggestion: have a separate line for prepaid customers.

Beautiful flowers! This place is so peaceful and lovely for a walk or to sit. It's very well kept and I loved reading the signs about the different sections. The only issue was that it wasn't clear where we should walk to pass through the garden in order. We ended up missing some of the sections because there's not a natural flow to it.

It was an awesome experience. Let me start by saying that the staff were amazing. They were very friendly, helpful and professional. We had lots of fun seeing all the landmarks and playing the find the Moose game. We spent an hour and a half in there and we enjoyed every minute. It is also expanding soon and adding new cities. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome view of the skyline at night. This is also the terminal where one of the ferries will pick you up so I would suggest ending your stay at center island here so you finish with an amazing view

A fantastic experience to behold within downtown Toronto that is suitable for any nature enthusiast or anyone look for an immersive experience amongst different flora. It's hard to say no to an experience with free admission to the public. There are several different plants to observe within the gardens In addition, a plethora of turtles roaming around -- what's not to love! Recommended to bring a water bottle with you into the gardens as it can get quite warm inside, especially in summer.

A wonderful place to visit with family. Many food joints. A nice place to hangout with friends. Amesteram and other bars around for some good beers and cheers. Lot's of boats around. Scenic place.

I haven't been back here for a while (a decade +) and forgot how fun and educational this place is! It's definitely a great place to spend the day with kids. There are plenty of interesting things for the adults as well. Did you know there's a big plant called Tulip Tree? I didn't. I like it that the entire place is spacious with high ceilings. There are so many interactive & interesting things strategically placed not too far from each other so visitors don't crowd into one place. Can you spot the dragon lizard?

Pretty nice gardens, some large willow trees, flowers, a little river, and other things. There’s bathrooms on site, a cafe, paid parking ($2/hr in 2023) but free admission. Seems pretty busy on a weekend. There are some rules regarding dogs/pets and picnics - as in, you can’t bring them and you can’t have them. Nice place for a walk. Some paths are accessible but there’s also lots of places with stairs.

A great spot to celebrate life with family friends or total strangers... It's vibrant, cheerful and lively!!! Great food, awesome vibes and a safe atmosphere. What more do you want, I guess parking??? There is ample paid parking right next to the distillery entrance. "Love thy District"

A lively hang out spot for local folks, kids and tourists. Right beside the heritage Old Town Hall building across the street. Local administration offices and a branch of the Toronto Public library Ron along the far side periphery. Understand that the square is also rink for skating or ice skating and a pond with TORONTO on one of the banks. Food trucks seem to be parked permanently on the street outside. Great photo op for tourists!

Amazing aquarium, easily my favorite between many. There were conveyors and that was really nice. Wide variety of fish and colors. Everyone loved the sharks and the jellyfish. We got to touch sting rays, too. They came right up to us! I got some professional looking photos too. They really give this place 5 stars.

Great! None of us visiting are big hockey fans, but the Hockey Hall of Fame was fascinating for us. Lots of items on display, from all eras - we spent several hours here. Really recommended. The entrances is one level down from street level, you walk past the food court to get to it (we couldn't find it at first, and had to ask). Good that you get a stamp on your hand, so you can go out and back in again - we went out for lunch in the food court (good) and came back to look at more stuff.

I had the most incredible time at the gallery this week. So grateful for the incredible contemporary work and the gallery’s willingness to push boundaries about what is possible for artists and their art. I am also incredibly grateful for the wonderful new Canadian artists this gallery has introduced me to. It has made me feel so inspired to be from here and to see what amazing things people do next. Thank you for being such a gem of varied and influential artists. It feels like a mix between the Brooklyn Museum and the contemporary aspects of the MoMA and others. Recent collaborations with galleries across the world are especially inspiring. Thanks so much and will come again!

August 2023 5* Visited the place with family on weekend. PARKING IS NOT ALLOWED ON WEEKEND AND YOU WILL NEED TO PARK ON ROAD SIDE NEAR BLOOR STREET. The place is very nice for kids as there are so many activities to do. You can also take vehicle ride ($5 per person). There is zoo, splash pad, play areas and picnic area. Also there is big lake inside the park but no beach. It is good to just sit and relax. Toilets are cleaned and well maintained. There are few restaurants inside the park so you will not find many options. You can spend quality time with you family and can enjoy different activities.

This castle is grand and beautiful. Amazing work of architecture and a must see in Toronto. There is a lot to see here so give yourself at least half a day to see it. The exhibits are very interesting. There are two towers in the castle which you have to climb up a steep spiral staircase to access but once you get there you’ll have a great view of the Toronto skyline and the castle. There is also a garden in the back which is also worth checking out too. Highly recommend this place if you are into the history and architecture. Definitely worth the ticket price.

Such an amazing museum. Not expensive. Always has new exhibits on that are fabulous. Realllllly friendly staff who are happy to give you more details AND if you like to learn hands on or love crafts there are always a million options. You can learn to weave or sew or collage with fabric. It’s so much fun! Great spot to go with a girlfriend, chat and craft. (After you look at all the amazing pieces in the museum for inspiration!)

The wait was long and the windows were not cleaned so disappointing photo experience. When they take a photo and says it’s free, well it’s borderline a scam. Taking the photo was free but purchasing them costs 40$… seriously, if it was 20$ I’d pay for it… don’t like the baiting and the outrageous price. The kids and I loved the “downstairs” where there are the glass walking area. Glass were small and again not cleaned… and I would make it just in top of the Rogers Stadium it would have being a bliss! Well the part we loved was the big LED screen! Loved the themes and the different backgrounds! The staffs were funny and chilled with tourists so bravo for that!

I recently visited the museum and was thoroughly impressed by the diverse range of historical collections from various countries. The museum's dedication to showcasing artifacts and exhibits from different cultures and time periods truly made it a unique and enriching experience. The attention to detail in the displays and the informative descriptions provided a comprehensive understanding of each collection. I particularly appreciated how the museum fostered cultural appreciation and understanding through its exhibits. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about different countries' histories all in one place. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in exploring Canadian history or Global heritage history.
