Best Restaurants for People Watching in North York / Don Mills

I had a wonderful dinner date at Bar Vendetta last night. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. Our food arrived at the perfect pace, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. Although we didn’t get to try the cocktails, the pasta and small plates were outstanding, with just the right balance of flavors and seasoning. The ambiance was fantastic—from the beautifully decorated walls to the cozy seating, every detail added to the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the music selection, which didn’t quite enhance the atmosphere as much as it could. A more curated playlist could elevate the mood even further. Overall, it's a great spot for a date or a night out, and I’d definitely come back!

Exquisite and sublime. Exceptional in every way!

great food , lovely staff an great atmosphere, highly recommend.

ONE Restaurant in Yorkville exceeded my expectations with its perfect mix of ambiance and flavor. The stylish decor and cozy patio set the stage for an unforgettable meal, highlighted by the rich, buttery lobster spoons and crispy truffle Parmesan fries—an absolute must-try!

The staff was very friendly and waiter was very accommodating towards celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, even coming to ask for special requests and plan ahead with me while she was taking a bathroom break. Would definitely go back to enjoy the delicious food.
