Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Leslieville / Riverdale

Good overall experience. Knowledgeable staff. 1/2 price wine allowed us to try something new. Great chat with sommelier. Gem salad was the highlight of the meal. Crisp and fresh.

We have been to Joey’s many times in Vancouver and other Joey locations in Toronto but Joey King West is definitely a step up. Fabulous ambiance and decor and they offer unique items not available on the regular Joey menu. Great service, very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive but not rushed. The spicy crab dip was a nice sharable appetizer. My only criticism was the wine. I selected a BOTTLE of Italian super Tuscan from the wine list. When it came out in a carafe I asked the server if I could see the bottle. She told me that it was “on tap”. Really?????? Have never experienced this before anywhere. And not surprisingly, it was sub par.

Our experience was amazing from the time we walked in to the time we left. They really do value the customer, I asked one gentleman where the washroom was and he escorted me all the way there. Our waitress, did not catch her name unfortunately, was outstanding! She introduced us to a new wine, and was very knowledgeable about the wine! They even offered my partner and I a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! Will definitely be returning!

Great service. The food was superb and order was quickly expedited.

I have been to Carbon Bar a few times but never tried their experiences. So this time as a post Christmas dinner with friends we did just that. What a great choice it was!!! It is totally worth the price! You get so much food we even had leftovers to take home. We also ordered the cornbread and it’s to die for! That maple butter still has me reeling! They also have happy hour until 6pm and it’s totally worth it!
