            There is a great food variety that everyone with find something good to eat. They serve comfort food with a good variety of pastas, some curries, salads and other meat dishes. All the food that we ate that evening was great tasting and reasonably priced. They have a good drink menu with many beers on tap and bottled, ciders and a good selection of wine. The service was good and the food was delivered hot. It is a very large restaurant with ample seating and you do not feel like the tables are too close to each other. If you are in the area the Hothouse is worth visiting.

            Had a lovely dinner with friends. The soup - a curried chicken - was superb. The jambalaya remains the best I’ve tasted in Toronto. The tiramisu cake was tasty, as well. My dining partners seem to enjoy their meals. I would certainly bring others here!

            Great service, and the food was excellent. We were greeted warmly at the host stand, seated quickly, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They handled allergy requests with no issue, and we had a lovely meal and wine pairing. Would definitely recommend.
