"For a group of 16 persons, the service was managed just fine. We didn't feel rushed.

Food was above average. Nothing exemplary, but I'd still come back for it. I like how the food tasted, as well as the presentation.

The ambiance is fantastic. I love all the intricate details of the building. The lighting helps too. You feel like you're dining in a fancy place.

I'd most probably come back."

"Very good service and a nice place, but the food was just ok. Tortillas in the tortilla soup were very soggy, and the soup itself left something to be desired. Cobb salad was good though."

"Had such HIGH hopes for this restaurant. I ordered the roasted chicken with mac & cheese & substituted fries for the spinach that it comes with. The "roasted" chicken was beige when it was brought to me. I'm not sure how they roasted it and yet the skin was pale. No crispiness, NOTHING. I asked our server if they could cook it a bit more.Came back out with it a bit darker but still nowhere close to roasted or brown. My dining companion remarked that they could learn something from Swiss Chalet!... On top of that, the chicken had NO flavour. I don't even think it was seasoned with salt & pepper before "roasting". Fries which are fresh cut were not all properly cooked. My friend had the linguini w prosciutto & shrimp & liked it. So sad."

"A really pleasant place. We had booked at a time when they were changing over in the kitchens and servers, but we still got very good service. The place itself is something to see, really very elegant. The food was very nice and more than filling. Having bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar was just a very lovely touch. I have rarely found this in any of the restaurants I've gone to."

"We went to the Grand Hive Mansion for a Girls Nite Out with an eclectic mix of foodies, diet watchers and picky eaters...their menu satisfied all of us. Service was great. Food was great. Only downfall was that we wanted to pay with American money and it was not accepted. Each of us ended up having to charge our own dinners, which was a pain for us and the waiter."

"My friends and I had a good time at the Grand Hive. The food was just ok but the ambiance is great and the service quick and efficient. I had the baby back ribs but will go back and maybe try something else. Maybe my comments about the food will change!"

"Awesome service!! Knowledgeable and very engaging. Food was average, but presented well. Love the ambiance of the mansion serving as a restaurant. Priced well. Could serve as an alternate to your average chain restaurants. My 17yr old daughter loved it.."

"I've gone to The Grand Hive on various occasions, and think this is one of the best places to go for lunch and dinner in Toronto. The most recent time was a birthday, and we were 11. We got our own room and the service was great. I highly recommend this place!"
