We went for a late lunch on New Year's Day. We picked Stock primarily because we love the decor and staff. It was a lively afternoon in the restaurant with one quite loud diner near us, but we could converse comfortably. Our waitress was lovely and gave me good direction on menu choices. Other staff who attended our table were equally gracious. We had noted before that staff at Stock strike a pleasing balance of being warmly engaging yet professional. The food was good and service was well timed from start to finish. It was an enjoyable outing to kick off the first day of the new year.

My new favourite restaurant in Toronto! The service was fantastic. The waiter was so kind and knowledgeable. We had the steak and fish special (tuna) - the steak was amazing and priced well, highly recommend. The chef even came out when we were leaving to say hi. 10/10!
