If you want to have lunch in the Bloor/Ave Rd area, this is an excellent place. It's QUIET, good for conversation, meetings, and the food is excellent.

Hotel restaurants are not hip. The tables are far apart and they don’t play loud music so you can actually have a conversation without needing to shout. They don’t rush you through. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The location can’t be beat - Bloor Street just west of Avenue Road -close to U of T , the ROM, and Koerner Hall. A hidden gem.

The service was slow despite not being overly busy. The food was not great. Hamburger was overcooked and dry...finally got some mustard by the time it wss ice cold buy no relish or tomato or lettuce possible. Did not know there was o ly thw winterlude menu available. Choices were scant and the value wss poor. Dessert was also poor. Apple crisp ws pure sugar with a tablespoon of ice cream and chocolate cheescake did not seem to be what it was supposed to be. We won't be back.

It was disappointing as the starters we wanted were unavailable, then the desserts we wanted were also unavailable. The mains we got were good. Our waiter was really good and he saved the night. We always stay at the Sonesta when in Toronto so even though the family dinner on our last night was disappointing we will most likely be back, and dining at Signatures, later in the year.

Overall the atmosphere was great and the food delicious. I liked the pear salad and the shorth ribs were testy. Unfortunately the desert choice was disappointing, Christmas pudding or apple crumble were cheap options for the menu price and the restaurant standards.
