I went back to Fox on John with a friend yesterday and took advantage of their taco Tuesday and 1/2 off Margaritas. It was great and I'll definitely be back. This is turning into my go to place for drinks after work.

A very nice restaurant. The service was above and beyond. The servers were all efficient, accommodating and helped add to the niceness of the evening. My friend was celebrating her birthday and I know she enjoyed her ribs, drink and dessert. I had the burger and I think it is one of the top two I’ve had in Toronto. I even enjoyed my dirty martini in the “baby” glass! Haha. I would definitely recommend The Frederick. I can hardly wait to return next year to sit on their beautiful patio.

We had an outstanding anniversary dinner at Hy’s Toronto. The food was exceptional from start to finish — perfectly cooked steaks, incredible flavours, and flawless presentation. The tableside dishes were a highlight of the night; the showmanship added so much fun and elegance to the experience. A huge shoutout to Jimmy, who delivered unforgettable tableside preparations with skill, charm, and precision. And sincere thanks to Gabe (Gabriel) for his impeccable service — attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They both made our 25‑year celebration feel truly special. Hy’s delivered top‑tier food, atmosphere, and hospitality. Highly recommended for any occasion where you want everything to be perfect.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved our experience at Canoe! ❤️ We ordered the Canadian Prime Striploin for our main course, and it was amazing! The steak was perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavour. We truly enjoyed every bite! And the dessert was on another level… The cheesecake was absolutely delicious! 😍 Definitely one of the highlights of our dinner. A special thank you to Mr. Mateo Antola, who was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. His excellent service made our evening even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated his hospitality! It was such a lovely evening, with delicious food, wonderful service, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect place to enjoy a special occasion. We left happy and already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommended! ❤️
