The Wednesday Room is a vibrant dining destination celebrated for its "amazing food" and "fantastic service." Guests rave about the "incredible" French dip sandwich and carrot cake tres leches. The ambiance combines a "stunning and cozy" setting with a "cool 70's vibe" downstairs. Ideal for both special occasions and casual dining.

    Absolutely loved our dinner at The Wednesday Room! The food was incredible, our favourite was the French dip sandwich (seriously unreal) and the tartare. Our server Adrian was exceptional and made the best recommendation for wine, we enjoyed a whole bottle. We spent almost 3 hours, and as parents of two young children, it was a special treat to do that in such a lovely space with wonderful service and the best food. We love having this spot as our celebration destination and to celebrate our 13 year anniversary, it couldn’t have been better! Thank you to the team for taking such great care of us :)

    Had a beautiful dinner date with my husband at The Wednesday Room. The ambiance was stunning and cozy. We started with the Burrata with pear sauce—absolutely divine! For mains, the sea bass was cooked to perfection. Desserts were a dream: I had the gluten-free apple pava, and my husband loved the carrot cake tres leches. A truly memorable evening—we’ll be back for sure!

    I had the Wagyu burger. What a disappointment. Total bill came down to $115 (18% tip) for 2 drinks (cider + mocktail), 2 meals (burger and pasta) and one dessert (apple pie). I tend to judge places that sell burgers by how they pair their burgers with their buns and let me tell you that the standard buns they served were not freshly baked, let alone toasted. The meat was overcooked which is such a let down. For a place that poses as a bougie lounge it fails tremendously. I should have known, because the first item on their menu is literally popcorn💀. The wait staff however is classy and reminded me of a that of a country club, in both demeanor as well as attitude. I'm never going back here again. I wish I had spent the money on ingredients. At least I know how to make a proper hamburger.

    As you can see from our other reviews, your opinion is not shared by others. We apologize if your burger was not cooked to your liking, next time let someone know, so they can fix your issue before you leave. Our popcorn and burger are 2 of our top selling items, with rave reviews. Thanks for sharing your opinion, and we look forward to not serving you again.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Our food took a while to come out, but the staff were so sweet and gave us a free dessert to make up for it!
