    We had a great mid-week lunch. A real bistro ambiance, friendly and professional service, and fantastic classic French dishes. Definitely the best burger we've had in Toronto with great crispy French fries. The creme Brule was good too, not too sweet and perfect texture

    It has a nice ambiance, intimate, and suitable for conversation. We went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was half full. We ordered the Short ribs, steak frites, and hamburger. All of us enjoyed our meals. The meat was done well, and portion sizes were good. It is an older restaurant with a classic charm. Service was on point. We celebrated a birthday and ordered the 13-layer chocolate cake. It was a fun birthday treat, and it was delicious, not too sweet. There was plenty to take home afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations.

    We were greeted and served by friendly staff in this elegant and comfortable restaurant. The 1/2 price bottles of wine were appreciated! Lovely menu selections and delicious food. Some portions were a bit on the small side. Will definitely be back.

    Income here because for not much more money than most other places you get amazing attitude-less service and impeccable quality standards. That said, $30 for a plate of Eggs Benedict might include a more generous amount of potaotes and perhaps even include a small side salad of frisée with sauted lardon and melted Gruyère on baguette. Just sayin.

    As a hotel guest at the Canopy Hotel, which is just around the corner, Maison Selby was very convenient for starts. The interior was nice and neat and interesting, being it is a historical building. We dine in the bar area, by the large windows overlooking the neighborhood, very conformable. Service was great, it is nice to dine where the whole staff seem to be happy and outgoing.
