We came in for a birthday dinner before the Lion King - close and underground parking was key. Staff was very friendly and the food was really great at a great price too. Not sure why rating are low as we really enjoyed it. Thank you for being part of our special night.

We went during Summerlicious, and found it to be an excellent choice. I had the stuffed chicken milan & an apple dessert both were flavorfull & delectable! Our waiter Raul was very friendly, made us laugh, but also tended to our needs right away! I highly recommend this place!

I would suggest this place as a good date spot. Looks great, quiet and can have a conversation. Tucked away in the lower level of the hotel with a backdrop of a waterfall fountain. Not sure why it is not more popular than it is. Staff was very kind and nice. Menu is limited but cooked very well and food was fresh. We had a fixed menu experience. Appetizers were fantastic. We had the broccoli cheese soup and onion soup(a tad on the saltier side) Chicken was flavored extremely well and tender. Salmon was over cooked but a decent quantity. The plating was gorgeous and alot of care was put into the presentation of the dishes. Desserts wow. Will come here just for this! Both Cheesecake and tiramisu were fantastic

My husband and I went for my birthday celebration. It was fabulous! The best salmon I’ve had at a restaurant. Beautifully plated and very flavourful. Lovely colourful salad and delicious dessert. We were treated to extra ice cream too. Our waiter wanted attentive and friendly. It was also quiet enough to have a good conversation. Check this place out!

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Toronto Hotel on King Street West Downtown and so we decided to try the buffet breakfast in the restaurant just located in the basement of the hotel. It is available until 10:30am. They have a great variety. The food quality was high. Everything was very fresh and the service was excellent too. It was quite pricey for a breakfast but given the high standard it was totally worth it. I do recommend it if you happen to stay in this hotel or nearby.

We were advised to make a reservation in the evening, but arriving at 7:30pm we apparently missed the rush as people left for the theatre. So it was quiet to start. We were warmly welcomed by the host Shahnaz and waited on attentively by Tannaz. We decided to go with the Prix Fixe menu using a Groupon and were not disappointed. There was a perfect rest between each course starting with French onion soup, salmon on a bed of stir-fried vegetable and accompanied by a glass of Chardonnay. Dessert was apple tart a la mode. All in all, a very enjoyable two hours and our interaction with the staff made it more so.

Loved the place! Visited king street social on my birthday. Chef Ilanchei was wonderful and made beautiful dishes. He also prepared a special dessert to celebrate my birthday. Even the server Ronnie was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience. I definitely recommend this place for any special occasion or dinner with your loved ones.

Over all ok. Sunday dinner. So, quite empty. Service is very... how do I put this... "numb" However food was better than expected. But wouldn't come down town just to eat here. Like the not overwhelm menu. So. At least they are confident on what's on the menu.
