Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Yorkdale

Celebrated my birthday at Canoe and had the best time. Our server- though we didn’t get his name- was absolutely a gem.

Once again, an incredible experience! I came from DC to Toronto for a few days, and of course, I had to come back to Daphne to try the lunch menu and hopefully see your wonderful manager, Amanda. I had a busy day and decided to go to lunch alone. Luckily, Amanda was there! She remembered me, exactly what she recommended last visit, and which dishes were my favourite — her memory and intellect are truly impressive. Based on what I had already tried, my palette preferences, and hunger level, she recommended two dishes for me, the Tuna Carpaccio and the Tomato and Persimmon Salad. Both were fantastic and satisfied my mid-day cravings. I left feeling energized and satiated. Amanda also checked in on me throughout my meal, keeping me just enough company, which I really appreciated since I was dining alone. The way that she conducts herself showcases a high level of interpersonal skills and intuition as she initiated the perfect degree of conversation, which is quite rare. A lunch experience is seldom noteworthy, but somehow Amanda finds a way to make it so. Thanks again for a lovely meal! I’ll be back on Saturday to bring all my friends to try the delicious food and to meet Amanda!

Went to Bar Roma last night with a friend of mine. We had the best time! Drinks were incredible. We had the Lavender 75 as well as the Kashmiri Spiced Margarita. I was not a huge fan of the Pomegranate Chicken Skewers as the chicken was a bit fatty. However, all the other dishes we got were incredible! Black Tiger Shrimp was divine. My friend and I are not huge fans of zucchini however when we tried the Cajun Zucchini Chips, we were in heaven, I could eat those all day. The real star of the show was the Lamb Piri Tacos. By far the best dish we ordered. It is their crowd favourite. We loved it so much we asked for two orders. Our waiter Zoya was so sweet and such a lovely woman. Shoutout to Bar Roma for their fabulous food, service and vibe. I can for sure see them sticking around. A must go on Ossington, highly recommend checking it out ASAP!

Añejo never misses. Top class food, drinks and service. Love taking visitors and family here. Will always come back for the tableside guac and strawberry and rhubarb margarita!

An excellent dining experience. From being welcomed at the door to paying the bill and saying goodbye, everything was perfect. The host accommodated us by kindly welcoming us and showing us to our table even though we were a little early. The server guided us through the drink and food menu. She was friendly and helped by making suggestions. The food was impeccably presented and delicious. Overall a great experience and I will make it a point to come back when I return to Toronto. We'll done.
