We decided to check this out for Winterlicious because the menu seemed very enticing. After reading reviews we prepared ourselves for something less than average, so we were expecting very little from this place. The view of the city is beautiful, that's if you're lucky to get a seat on the good side of the restaurant. There's been a lot of reviews stating that the service is poor at this restaurant; it's definately not what my partner and I are accustomed to which would be very attentive servers, but our server was friendly. I wouldn't say she was trying to get to know us, or even introduce herself to us, but she was friendly Again, don't forget, we prepared ourselves based on others reviews. The food was ok. That's all I can really say about it. The highlight in the meal was my appetizer, and my for my partner it was the dessert. There wasn't anything special to it. It wasn't bad, yet it wasn't the best meal ever. Overall, this place was ok; it was worth experiencing for Winterlicious, but I wouldn't be going out of my way to dine here again.
INITIAL: Being excited as this was my first Winterlicious experience, I booked a place that seemed like a nice restaurant with a great overview of the city during sunset. I made reservations on the first possible day for non-AMEX holders, and all the times I want were already booked! So I went with 5pm dinner. This made me extra excited as I thought the only reason it was completely booked was probably because the food was good! So I was looking forward to it. ATMOSPHERE: Upon entering the restaurant, it gives off a very high-class appeal. All the waiters and waitresses were dressed fashionably, and the decor seems very modern and new. Gives off a very nice first impression. This restaurant is circular in nature, with tables situated near the windows to give the patrons a nice view of the city and/or the lake. FOOD: What surprised me most was the food. I am not sure if it only happens during Winterlicious, but the food my girlfriend and I received were lukewarm at best, was not even hot enough to make it seem fresh. This was consistent for all the dishes we had. The portions I thought were very small. Again I note, I am not sure if this is just for Winterlicious or if it is like this during the regular season. Good thing my girlfriend does not eat a lot, for I ate half her main course and by the time I finished dessert, I was only approx. 60% full. Definitely not worth the price of $35 not including gratuity and tax. The quality of food, was okay, could have been better. The lack of warmth in the food was a major upset for me as this is probably the most important aspect in a meal. SERVICE: Not the best service in the world. Again, not sure if it was because it was Winterlicious and everyone was busy, or they just lacked the common decency for good service. I had to literally call out to the waiter to get my ice water refilled (twice). And I would expect that they asked for a refill on the bread, but that didn't happen. They did not even ask for pepper for the main course. All of those are okay, I can tolerate that, but what got me most was that I felt like I was rushed. Having been seated for a 5pm dinner, I was finished and out by 6:15pm. Usually high-end Western restaurants are slower and take longer, but this was completely the opposite. As soon as I was done a plate, it would be taken away almost immediately and then my next one would come right away, attached with the bill already. They did not even ask for coffee or tea. OVERALL: It was a disappointing first experience for Winterlicious. I'm sorry to say, but I already had a reservation for another restaurant next week, but after this upsetting experience, I am seriously considering cancelling the reservation for next week despite it being a different restaurant. I don't want to travel to Toronto on a weekend for a disappointing meal where I could get a more decent one closer to home. Toula should definitely have better service and hotter meals next time or this is probably the first and last time I will ever go there. Enjoy! Hope this review helped! =)
I dont usually write reviews however I enjoyed my experience so much this past weekend I was courious to look at reviews and was astonished to hear negative comments. I have never had such an amazing meal, atmosphere and service in all my 20 years in toronto. I recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner, weddings, and foother large groups. Thank You Toula!
Had my brothers' 30th birthday reserved at Toula restaurant. This was a very special day for all of us. We reserved for a table of 4. We were astonished with the exceptional view upon arrival. The staff were very professional and polite. The service provided by the waiter was very professional and he was very attentive to small details. The food was the highlight of the night. I had their Carpaccio and the Washington Rack of Lamb.. The lamb was grilled to perfection and the fresh mint sauce that the chef made for me was out of this world. I will definately be back and recommend Toula to everyone.
We went there today for my girlfriend's birthday because we heard the view was very nice. I was a bit disappointed that they have placed us on the other side of dinning room, which didn't have much of a view. Anyways, the food was really poor. We had a few pasta dish, a herb crusted lamb, steak and risotto. Besides the fact that the food took a long time to arrive, when I got my risotto, it was undercooked. It was chalky in the middle of the rice. I tasted my friend's same risotto and it was fine (but slightly undercooked). The waiter simply told me it was suppose to have a crunch... (not the same as chalky undercooked rice) Anyways, I was looking forward for my herb crusted lamb. It was more disappointing than the risotto. The herb crust was soggy and the lamb was blend. The sauce was over salted so I guess it worked out... cold pepper garnish with overcooked asparagus was just terrible. I didn't want to sent back all my food, so I had the decency to finish it. The service was ok, not superb for the price you are paying. Overall, the food is not good at all especially for the price you are paying. If you ever plan to visit, make sure you ask for the seats that gets the best view of the city and not some black space covered by some random apartment buildings.
