I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

Our meals were disappointing. Bland and unidentifiable compared to the menu description. Ambiance was nice and service was ok. Doesn’t compare to the Park Hyatt in NYC sadly.

Despite multiple assurances that the tasting menu was (could be) gluten free, I was served a dish with “red fife grains” aka WHEAT. I asked the server to check with the chef and they said they were sure it was GF but would ask. Lo and behold it was not GF. I’m left wondering what else wasn’t GF. Guess I’ll know in the next few hours. Overall a mushy, forgettable meal. Chef is big on foam.

Outstanding as always! Joni never fails to impress with its exceptional customer service, exquisite cuisine, and stunning decor. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. While the music performance could be improved to better complement the ambiance, it didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment. Joni remains one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto, offering an absolutely beautiful experience every time. Looking forward to returning soon!

I loved the live music and ambience of the restaurant, it definitely had a lobby bar feel. The food was well plated and delicious. The staff were friendly and pleasant, but there were not enough of them.

Great food and great atmosphere. The restaurant has a nice noise level. That’s not too loud and makes it easy to enjoy your meal with your company.

Some girlfriends and I enjoyed afternoon tea at Joni’s. It was delicious and elegant! Traditional tea with a modern flair and some twists. Really enjoyed the savoury set and were too full to finish all our sweets, which were beautifully crafted. We each had our own Sloane tea selections - all good! Loved the “Cocoa rose” and “Heavenly Cream” with our sweets. Our server was attentive and helpful.

I stayed at the hotel and had brunch at Joni. I've been there multiple times. Joni is a great spot. The only minor issue that I had was that the Park Breakfast is quite underwhelming. I understand it is a standard eggs/bacon etc. breakfast but there was no extra touch or flair that made it distinctive from what you can get at any diner in downtown Toronto. Also, our vey nice waiter at times seemed extremely busy and slightly overwhelmed. But these are minor issues. Joni is a fantastic spot.
