Best Restaurants for Birthdays in North York / Don Mills

Had an awesome dining experience at Joey Restaurant! The food was delicious, and our waiter Jasper was top-notch - super friendly, knowledgeable, and added a fun vibe to our meal. Would definitely go back! 🍽️👌

I’ve been coming consistently for the last couple of years. Everytime is good. This time the food was missing some love. Steaks need to be seasoned, at least salt and pepper. The surf and turf was disappointing. Neither the meat nor the shrimp were seasoned. Everything else was great.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Eataly Don Mills, and it was an experience that truly captured the essence of Italian culinary tradition. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the distinct aroma of fresh pasta, sizzling meats, and fresh-baked breads filling the air. The layout of the store is impressive, offering a variety of Italian goods and fresh ingredients, but it’s the dining experience that really stands out. I started with a classic antipasto platter, which featured an array of cured meats, cheeses, and olives. Each item was carefully selected, and the quality was unmistakable—everything from the prosciutto to the pecorino was rich in flavor, perfectly complemented by the accompanying bread and honey. For the main course, I opted for a handmade pasta dish: pappardelle with a rich ragu. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of bite. The ragu was hearty and flavorful, making each bite feel like a taste of authentic Italian comfort food. The portion sizes were generous, and I found myself savoring every forkful. To finish off the meal, I couldn’t resist the tiramisu. It was indulgent yet light, with the perfect balance of coffee flavor and creamy mascarpone. A true Italian classic. The service at Eataly Don Mills was impeccable. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our experience was seamless from start to finish. It’s clear that the staff is passionate about Italian food and culture, making it feel like a little slice of Italy right in Toronto. VIVA ITALIA , VITA EATALY!

Great spot to have a nice catch up with friends. Staff is friendly and we weren’t rushed. We’ll be back!

We were celebrating a work anniversary milestone. Staff were wonder, got all our orders correct and the food was delicious. We were 6 of us, everyone ordered a pizza and we got two large salads to share. Salads came out first and we had time to eat them before the pizzas came out. Allergies accommodated perfectly. Thank you for a great lunch experience.
