    I want to thank the staff and chefs for the attention to detail throughout my entire visit. I mentioned in my reservation that I was celebrating a birthday, and they truly excelled at making us feel welcome and appreciated. From the start, they greeted us with a special welcome and made sure to identify who in the group was the birthday guest. From that great beginning to the start of our culinary experience, they continued to excel—offering complimentary in-house plates and Champagne to celebrate. The food was cooked to perfection: great taste, great seasoning—everything was on point. I cannot recall right now the names of the people who attended us, but I appreciate you all. I can’t express enough the level of detail throughout the dining—from the precise position and direction of the cutlery to the regular check-ins, and of course, the very welcome birthday candle with the dessert. I recommend Biff’s Bistro to anyone, for any kind of occasion.

    Wonderful Summerlicious experience! Very attentive service, nice atmosphere, accommodated our allergies/special requests even during summerlicious. Summerlicious menu was ok, but would definitely return to try their regular menu.

    Summerlicious dinner was just ok. Good sized portions, but flavours were not outstanding. There were many people servicing our table, and yet service quality was nothing special.

    The food was very enjoyable. Good presentation, great tasting. One suggestion is that the music could have been more classy. Maybe soft jazz.

    Great food, good service, location convenient to the train station, St. Lawrence market, Distillery District and preforming arts venues. Music was a little loud for easy conversation. Would definitely return.

    First time back at Biff's since the re-open, we experienced their Summerlicious menu and we were thoroughly blown away. Bravo to Chef Trenton and team!! The revamped dining room is warm, welcoming, expanded and so inviting. The food was beyond fantastic! Cocktails were stellar. And it was a welcome surprise to see old friend and O&B colleague Andrea serving us. What a perfect experience for our anniversary! - Chef Jesse, The Bentwood/Second City

    The flat iron steak was so delicious and tender . Service was amazing . The manager Misha was so attentive and made sure we had the best experience. We loved it and looking forward to going back. The 1/2 price wine bottles during happy hour put a big smile on our faces.

    Love the new bread, oysters and mustard sauce. I come back to Toronto once a year for the mustard sauce with oysters. Our server was great as well.
