Everything about Bar Isabel was incredible. Food was top tier, service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was terrific. We were craving patatas bravas and they served us up a plate that made us feel like we were back in Barcelona. Can't wait to go back!

Food was superb. Unfortunately my lobster pasta dish was served pretty close to room temperature and they hadn’t warmed the bowl it was served in. The wines are expensive but I ordered one of the least expensive from the south of France and it was good. We would return😊

The tasting menu experience was wonderful--we had one vegan at the table, and she was blown away by the variety and creativity of the dishes. The George is extremely accommodating to dietary preferences to a level I hadn't seen before. The whole experience was so special. We had 7 dishes, and that was the perfect amount!

The food, as always, was perfect. As good as the plate feature is, it's the accompaniments that raise the food to a higher level. As a little too loud this time.

Awesome. The staff helped deal with my 2 y.o. niece, who likes to twirl in the middle of the dining room. All of the room was awesome, the room with the roast beef/bacon/eggs Benedict was regularly re-stocked, and help was available. The Oyster bar was slightly slow, but did not really attract from the experience, since it was delicious. A++++

We go to The Keg every year on Jan 1st! First time dining at The Mansion, and it was very worth it. Service was timely and friendly, food was delicious, music volume and ambience was perfect. The only things I would make note of: Presentation of the food was lacking. It tasted great! But it was amusing at the lack of presentation haha. The women’s washroom was also a bit dirty and messy - it was off putting for an upscale restaurant. Overall, great experience!

It was my moms 50th birthday and wanted the evening to be special. When we got there our seat wasn’t ideal.. so I had asked the hostess if it was possible to have a table with a view seeing as it was my mom’s special day! After two attempts she got us an amazing table with the view of the CN Tower. Couldn’t have been any happier with her willingness to help. The waitress we had was equally amazing; friendly, informative and even gave my mom a birthday dessert! The price was pretty decent considering we dined with 4 people and spent close to $300 including tip. Honestly thought I’d be spending more. Overall, I’ll be back :)
