Service was excellent but it was really too cold sitting next to the entrance. I had to rush through my dinner. I suggest remove tables at the entrance altogether
Great restaurant !
Food, service and atmosphere are amazing !
Always a good experience here!
Amazing!! I’ll be back soon!
Liked the ambiance. Service was great and the food was tasty
Great food as always.
Our server was wonderful and helped me make the experience special as we had a biz milestone to celebrate!!!
Food was delicious and the heaters worked well....just warm enough
Well done by the chef and staff. Superb meal in the tented warm patio.
Excellent experience over multiple visists during COVID. The ambience naturally is impacted by having to set up a tent vs the proper dining experience but overall a very good experience.
Great experience!
Solid place with great food. Loved the burger and steak, was terrific!
Gods was delish! Device was great! I would recommend this place to anyone. The patio was warm and the tables were spaced out accordingly for covid purposes.
Great patio
I’ve always had great food at Bymark. Never disappoints!
Considering the pandemic ByMark fid a great job adjusting with their patio. They were accommodating as well for the amount of people (11) although we sat a separate tables it was near
The food was great, had the butter lobster poutine and crispy chicken sandwich with Moscow Mule to wash it down
Misses the ambiance of the restaurant but when you make a trip to the bathroom you get to see what you’re missing out on.. I would definitely return
Love this spot! Food was amazing and the cream brûlée donuts for desert are to die for!
Great food. Great service. The staff made sure that we were enjoying our food and we were comfortable. They brought over a table heater as we were outside and also gave us a parking comp.
Carole and her staff once again did a fantastic job making people feel special when they come too ByMark. My wife had the scallops she said it was delicious, I had three appetizers lobster poutine, shrimp tacos, and octopus and calamari absolutely delicious. I normally order the 16oz ribeye with lobster poutine all very good. Go you will rank and rave.
Great food, small portions but I'm not too upset with it as it was a great overall experience. Had ordered an app and a main but ended up getting a other app and a side as portions weren't big. Definitely would recommend and would go back!
Booked a reservation. Plenty of seating available. Hostess sat us next to a bunch of loud drunk bros, which killed the ambience of my partners birthday dinner.
Amazing food. Will return
It was beyond exceptional. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. The ambiance was just incredible and the food was delicious. The service was great. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Two thumbs all the way up!
Service was great and food was delicious. Loved the menu selection.
Outstanding food and still a great wine list. Staff is challenged to keep up with the demands of the changing season and COVID. Certainly more than adequate.
Ok so this is the downtown sister to ONE Yorkville. The secret is to order the lobster tacos which are made in house and off the menu and not available in Yorkville. Boss up.
Great lunch and service at Bymark! Will definitely be back soon...fingers and toes crossed that we can keep COVID under control and restaurants won’t have to close down again!
Downstairs dining room looks beautiful, but eating upstairs underneath the tent was still quiet nice especially with the heating lamps that took the edge of the cool weather. Great service and food, but a little pricey (expected for downtown).
Great food, great service. I had googled "top Toronto restaurants" then checked out their menus. Admittedly I had seen Bymark's Summer menu but their Fall one was just fine too. Social distancing and safety was at ease here as it was rather quiet, very well spaced out between tables and everything was very, very clean and fresh. The food was wonderful and I can say without exaggeration that their Halibut was the best Halibut I've ever had. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was divine and the Wagyu Beef Spring Rolls? Just wonderful. Their sauces were amazing. Would go back there again, absolutely. I have to say though, my mom still makes a better Apple Crisp.
Anniversary
First waitress was forgetful but thankfully another waitress tended to us as she was more friendlier and responsive. Nice patio. Food was good.
You can always count on good meals here. It can get pricey but what would you expect from a higher end restaurant?
The food was subpar especially considering this is supposed to be one of the best restaurants in Toronto. Portions were tiny even for French dining. The lobster poutine was extremely salt. The fish tacos was like a shredded chicken salad but with shrimps put in 5 tiny corn chips (not tacos). The steak tartare was not fresh tasting. Very disappointed. We decided to skip the dessert because we didn't want to be disappointed even more. High end prices with low end value and taste, this is one to skip.
Love the food here. The patio is lovely. Service is great. We will be back.
The food was great ! The service excellent. It was a cool evening, maybe one more heater would be helpful to keep the warmth.
As usual great experience !
Love that there is a covered patio. Very safe and makes it nice to be outside. :)
excellent food - beautiful patio under an open tent with lots of heaters for cooler nights.
Felt safe. The service was excellent; and the fries, roasted beets, and schnitzel were all delicious!
Pleasant evening on the patio
Great outdoor patio, with lots of space between tables. Everyone's choice for their lunch entree (all different) got raves. Hope the outdoor dining can continue here for weeks to come!
