Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Leaside

This location supersedes all the other ones! Love the location, classic and beautiful and the quality of the food is much much better!

Love the vibe, staff was great and so was the food

Amazing food and great service. The lobster spaghetti was top class. Our waitress gave an excellent wine paring for the pasta and she was extremely good with the way she made us feel welcomed. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and they accommodated us with a sparkler and a personal birthday wish note, which added a nice touch to the whole evening. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely visit again !

We were 5 and we all enjoyed our dinners very much. We had pizza, pasta, fish and Caesar and all were very tasty and generous portions. So much so there will little bags going home with us. The service was friendly and very professional. We have been to Oretta many times and we will be back many more times.

Today was wintery and cold with a blowing wind. A day to be inside. A day for lunch at the Amsterdam. As always, the staff at the front door were welcoming and efficient, directing us to a table for two beside the fireplace. Bonus! Samantha (Sam) was our server today. She was friendly and chatty and seemed pleased to see us. We ordered “our usual”, as regulars to the Amsterdam (perhaps we are boring) and without much delay we were enjoying our fish and chips (for her) and the Tai chicken curry (for me), washed down with Diet Coke and an Amsterdam Blonde. The food was hot and nicely presented, particularly the curry, resting on a palm leaf in a custom earthenware (?) dark bowl. The beer, even on a cold day, was great. Although there are giant screen TVs in one section of the dining area showing (today) live tennis, the sounds and images were not intrusive. Ditto the musical ambiance. Although I would prefer NO music in a restaurant, the Amsterdam’s choice was reasonable acceptable and allowed for an audible conversation (I often wonder if the “music” in restaurants, or the grocery store, is targeting the customers or the staff). No desert today. Stuffed. But there was a little room for a cappuccino before paying the bill. Goodbyes from Sam who provided great service and who maintained a pleasant chatty presence throughout today’s encounter. We will be back. Jack H Toronto
