One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. The service here is good, but the food is fantastic. The steak, lamb, pasta and the bread! So good! Their desserts aren’t that great but everything else is excellent, including their cocktails. Their prices are also reasonable.

We would definitely recommend this restaurant! What a good vibe, so cozy and it has a nice Scandinavian look. Lots of wood, a fireplace, lots of seating and an open kitchen. We went during happy hour 2-5pm. Half priced pizza's, 1/2 priced wine, 7 beers and 10 cocktails. Pizza's were so good, we ordered a salami, mushroom and 2 chicken sausage pizza's. All were good! We made a reservation through their message option. They responded quickly. Would definitely come back here.

We took my wife to Bridgette Bar - Toronto for Mother’s Day, and it was a beautiful spot to celebrate. The space is sophisticated, stylish, and open which definitely has that elevated, high-end vibe. What we didn’t realize walking in is that the ground floor has a more casual feel for smaller groups, and the patio looks like it would be amazing in warmer weather. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated upstairs overlooking the street, which gave us a more intimate and scenic experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and got everything out in good time. The food? Outstanding. The ricotta dumplings were like soft pillows, absolutely delicious. I had the Maple BBQ Rainbow Trout ( which I never order fish!) and it turned out to be the best meal of the night. The only drawback was the ambiance. Since they had a massive brunch service earlier in the day, the dinner crowd was virtually non-existent. We were the last table there by 8:45 p.m., and even though the restaurant technically stayed open until 10, it felt like we were wrapping up the evening for them - though to their credit, the staff never made us feel rushed or unwelcome. All in all, a lovely dining experience and we’d happily return for another meal—especially when the place is buzzing again.

What a wild ride reading other reviews. My partner and I are in the 5 star camp. We visited this restaurant at 12:30 2025-04-27. We were greeted at the door, our waiter was on top of our water the whole time. Within 15 minutes we had our garlic bread. I've never had garlic bread where the cheese is inside the bread. The bread was very crunchy with a mild cheese and garlic taste. It was very hot in the middle and had to cool after being opened. Keeping it simple we split the Margherita pizza. The dough was soft and well cooked. It was a little chewy which was really nice. The tomato sauce wasn't overpowering and the cheese was very smooth and chewy. The piece to resistance... The banana pie. Each mouthful starts with flamed caramel tips with a fluffy sugary top to a very sweet banana filling. It ends with the perfect crunch at bottom. It is a very sweet desert that will melt in your mouth. I'd highly recommend. (as does everyone else) The bathrooms are beautiful. The location is beautiful. The floating fireplace is a really cool addition.

I’ve got a chance to come eat because one of my friends works here. I also knew this place because the banana cake was going viral on social media. I instantly loved the atmosphere as soon as I entered. I sat downstairs because upstairs was fully booked, but I went to see how it looked. There was a nice small lounge bar where you can enjoy the vibe, the smell, and of course the drinks. There are seats in front of the open-kitchen where you can see how they execute the food. For the brink, I had fruity beer. It is perfect for those who are not a big fan of beer but want something similar. Their mock-tail sounded great too. For the food, they have just enough amount of menus to choose from. It’s not a huge menu that you don’t get struggled to pick. I had garlic bread as a starter and pizza and steak as mains. I still can not forget the taste of garlic bread. It was so crispy and cheesy. The pizza was okay. It was tasty but not nothing was really standing out. Thought, steak was great! The meat was tender and juicy. However, among all the food I had, the banana cake was insanely good. I was amazed my the size then flavor. It was a perfect dessert to share. Each flavor from the torched meringue, caramel, tart and banana came along beautifully. I really enjoyed till the last bite. Hopefully to be back soon

Highly recommend this place for good food, awesome vibes, and great service. •Detailed review below• Food - I ordered the margarita and OH. MY. GOD. (to quote Janice from FRIENDS TV show).. superb! It was a wood fire pizza and the dough was cooked to perfection. The sauce to cheese to basil to oil ratio was excellent! it was a large plate size and cut into 6 big slices. So good for sharing too (or go solo??) Price - Within GTA standard pricing for a meal (25 avg). Given the price to portion ratio, it was good. Ambience - they have outdoor patio during summers and it's gorgeous. Inside is even more stunning! Service - Very professional and organized. We had a booking in place but arrived earlier than anticipated. Was able to grab a table on the patio at first, but later decided to move inside and the staff was understanding and coordinated that, which we appreciated. Location - Being behind The Well in a nice neighborhood, it's got a great location. Walkable from nearby venues such as concerts (which is what we did after). Dog friendly! Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Accessible and spacious, stroller friendly. The staff are all welcoming and friendly. The service we received was top notch. We were given excellent recommendations. Dining with a baby isn't the easiest thing in the world, but it was made easier by helping us find a perfect table to sit at with the stroller. They accommodated us when we needed to change the little one as they said there isn't a change table. The food was excellent, worth the price. Portions aren't too big, and just right. Eggplant fries were delicious!! The pizza was really tasty and full of flavor. Whatever dough is used was airy and light. Nothing here lacked flavor and I'll definitely be coming back again. Thank you for making a wonderful day out with our baby, that much more magical.

Came here for a quick late night drink! Such a pretty spot, whether its downstairs or the bar upstairs or the dining area. Floor to ceiling windows, cute fire place, etc. Service was good. No looks even when we came less than an hour before closing. Drinks were okay. Tried a fee cocktails. Would be open to come back and try the food.
