Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Bloor West Village

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

Incredible service! I chose this place to propose to my now fiance, since it has such a beautiful booth. Heart (If I stand correctly) was a great host and made sure everything was just as planned. I brought a dessert with the ring in it for them to bring out, and they took amazing care of it. We went for brunch and had the pancakes and omelette, they were amazing! Very impressed by the service, personal care and hospitality from all the staff.

Loved The Ace overall - great food! highly recommend the seasonal squash they have and they were able to add fries to it as a side for a complete meal for my vegetarian self. While they lean "carnivore" for mains, their apps are sizeable, and absolutely delicious and filling. I like to eat well, and the (clarified?) butter(?)-fried sage atop the squash was just *chef's kiss*. The Ace has excellent money for value as well - All their food is great; you can't go wrong. Great alcohol options too - the bar does not skimp on the gin! One *teensy* suggestion: if it's important to you, request seating by the window for the best ambience - similarly, if it matters to you, there are two booths at the back that are kind of next to the bathrooms (which is really not my preference), so just make sure to request a spot away from the bathrooms or come early. The servers were super helpful and moved us to a sizeable bar and I had a great time. (Others were presumably able to take the booth as they didn't mind the bathrooms so it worked out well for everyone!) oh and - their cheesecake at the end was to die for. I was in fluffy cheesecake heaven!

Great service. Particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour offerings. The Expresso Martini and holiday drink offerings were amazing. Best bar tender!!!!

I love Burdock, the beers are so great and the space itself wonderful. The service was really lackluster, a trend I'm seeing throughout the city these days unfortunately (but maybe understandably) - no enthusiasm, not consistent, not checking in if the food is good or if we have everything, a general "oh yeah you're still here" vibe. Not something I've experienced at Burdock before and was really excited to show my friend from out of town. Overall a fine, just fine, experience.
