Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Yorkdale

Miller has become far too expensive. The Cactus Club Cafe is twice the value of the Miller and the food is as good or better Comparable Cactus Club steak is $30 less than the Miller.

Really enjoyed our experience there, we had the degustation for mum’s birthday, she felt real special. The food was great, but slightly on the pricier side. Venue was beautiful and waiters very professional. Would recommend :)

Terroni has been my favourite restaurant since 1995, starting at Queen Street. Always good and most importantly consistent.

All the food was excellent, heads up portions are massive, every starter/salad/side is sharable. We had the Caprese salad to start, which was incredible, if I had any critique of it, could have used a bit more balsamic glaze there were more than a few bites without any glaze on the tomatoes at all. As well, the tomatoes were so large that there wasn't even a 40/60 split of cheese to tomato which I think is the perfect ratio for this salad, who doesn't want cheese in every bite? The steaks were phenomenal, no question, can't go wrong. Almost so good, it is a wonder they don't put the main entrées in appetizer format so people would actually order them. The duck fat fried French fries were tasty, but I did find a lack seasoning to them. I found myself putting the steak salt into the ketchup just to add some seasoning to the fries due to how thick each fry is, not sure if that is intentional but just an observation. I would consider asking kitchen to salt the fries with any of the 3 salts before it gets to table so they can hold the seasoning better being fresh out of the fryer. The lobster Mac n cheese was excellent, period. Creme Brulee for dessert was delicious the berries were fresh and the cream was delicious. Service was top quality, only critique is that I found it took the service longer than 5 min to initially approach our table for initiating drink orders. Not a huge deal, but was sitting there wondering "wow, I'm surprised we haven't been seen by a server yet" And maybe a minute or two later he showed up, so do with that what you will. All in all, I would definitely go back for a special occasion. 4.5/5

Just a LOVELY dining experience. From the elegance of the decor, to the exceptional and friendly wait staff, nothing was left or wanting. The food was really really good. I love that this chef had such knowledge of Italian cuisine and the pairing of food on each plate was perfection. My burrata and beet salad was divine. I had the sweet potato gnocchi - with an incredible pesto sauce. Don't hesitate about this restaurant - make a reservation today!
