Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Entertainment District

The service from entering the Ritz until departing, is second to none. A lovely experience. Would recommend the Epoch for drinks and dinner.

This is my fourth meal at Abrielle in 2024, so I knew that it would not disappoint. Upon arrival, Meaghan (sp?) the Hostess advised us of a shortage of service and kitchen staff....so there would be a delay in food service. Understandable given today's hospitality industry labour woes! I appreciated the "Head's Up!" Dalia, our Server, was quick to take a drink order and advise us that two menu items were now out of stock (The Club Sandwich and French Toast). Both were items which we would have selected. However, the Burger, Steak Frites and Abrielle Breakfast as alternate selections were fabulous! I wouldn't have tried the Steak Frites if the Club was available. Now, I know that it will be my first choice upon my next visit! Maggie (?) the Floor Manager was able to run interference when an univited guest stopped by our table to chat and wouldn't leave. In fact, it was great to see that women made up the entire service team yesterday! It was wonderful to watch them help each other; making drinks, clearing tables, drying glassware, serving dishes, topping up water glasses, etc. Well Done, Team Abrielle!

Christmas Day and I have to say it was a fabulous decision to go to Fox on John’s. The food was really good, the service was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was just lovely. I particularly like the decor, very comfortable very warm and inviting. 

I don’t post reviews often, but the chef deserves a genuine compliment. The restaurant’s ambiance, experience, and food were all excellent unlike some of the reviews you may encounter. But here’s the most important part - despite the fact that the menu focuses on the fusion of cuisines, I encountered an authentic falvour of “home”, which is Korea for me. The chef is Korean who trained in Japan and aims to serve a unique Asian cuisine in the diverse and competitive market of Toronto. His maki roll “The Hot Mess” underneath its exquisitely savory and spicy sauce, I was met with the flavoured rice that took me right back to the elementary school days in Korea when I shared kimbab rolls with classmates on field trips. Thank you for a great experience and taking me on a trip back to my childhood!

The restaurant was great, but when we showed up we were informed that the restaurant no longer uses OpenTable and we actually have no reservation.
