   Great service. Made special arrangements for a quiet table. Food was good but small portions.

   This is the third time we’ve dined at the Gallery Grill and we have enjoyed each time immensely. The food and its presentation is always delicious and the ambience is special. As seniors we found the noise level a bit problematic but we are willing to put up with it.

   Food was excellent, as always...and the room remains beautiful. Service was disappointing this time, however. Long waits for food order to be taken; an even longer wait for a glass that could be used with a bottle of sparkling water (no waiter anywhere nearby to ask for it again and the glass arrived two-thirds of the way through our main courses; having to get up and track down someone for our bill.) The restaurant was not particularly crowded, so perhaps there were too few staff on duty...but this was not at all the usual experience.

   Sorry we dropped the ball last Thursday, Ron! We have indeed been suffering from unexpected FOH staff shortages of late. I'm sorry that your service was affected! Jerry Horton, Manager Dining Operations at Hart House dining@harthouse.ca

   The people who run this restaurant take great pride in their work and will do what they can to make things right. At this visit, I received attentive care at the right pace. The courses arrived with enough time to enjoy them, and drinks were refreshed as needed. The meals were hot, fresh, and flavoured appropriately. They even gave us extra plates and cutlery for shared dishes, without us asking.

   Charming room and excellent service. The corn and apple soup was delicious as were the heirloom and gem lettuce/radicchio salads. I wasn’t fond of the apple crisp since it was overly sweet and the crisp was underneath so soft. The creme brûlée was amazing.

   Come with plenty of time, and no bookings in your afternoon, as your meal may take longer than expected.

   We loved the Gallery Grill! An exquisite lunch experience with a beautiful view of U of T campus. The food was amazing.

    Unfortunately, I will not go back to The Grill. The food was not appealing, and the cost quite high. A birthday lunch for 2, the waitress began by asking if we’d like some bread with our meal. I thought it was free… we were charged. I ordered the soup and there was barely a cup in my bowl but I was charged $12. My mushroom salad had poached mushrooms… terrible. Would’ve been better sauted. My guest had a salad overloaded with dressing. She couldn’t eat it all. I had ticked off that it was a birthday, but no mention of it by our server.

    Cathy I'm really sorry to hear that your visit to Gallery Grill was so disappointing. Your notes regarding the food will be shared with the chef, and I'll reiterate with the servers the importance of being present and attentive with our guests - they certainly should have acknowledged your occasion and informed you that the bread they suggested was not 'on the house'. Rest assured that your feedback has been taken on board, and I thank you for taking the time to bring these deficiencies to my attention.
