Food was superb. Unfortunately my lobster pasta dish was served pretty close to room temperature and they hadn’t warmed the bowl it was served in. The wines are expensive but I ordered one of the least expensive from the south of France and it was good. We would return😊

Vineland Estates is always a first-class experience. Our most recent visit in May of 2023 exceeded our expectations, if such a thing is even possible. I opted for the special five-course menu with the classic wine selection, while my wife ordered from the menu. Everything - everything! - was perfect. The quality, taste, and timing of the food, the wine, the service, and the ambiance, were all perfect. It is rare when dining out that at least some little thing here or there is not up to standard or falls through the cracks. I can truly say that our experience at Vineland Estates was perfect.

We had an earlier reservation at 530 and enjoyed having a quiet dinner to ourselves. I really loved the experience of having lots of different foods and sharing our plates. The hosts were great and answered questions if I had any. My favourite courses were the 1st appetizer, Ahi Tuna, and the main course lamb for me and beef tenderloin for my partner.

Awesome. The staff helped deal with my 2 y.o. niece, who likes to twirl in the middle of the dining room. All of the room was awesome, the room with the roast beef/bacon/eggs Benedict was regularly re-stocked, and help was available. The Oyster bar was slightly slow, but did not really attract from the experience, since it was delicious. A++++

We had the pairing menu and it was outstanding. Our waiter Scotty was knowledgeable and very friendly. Too many waitstaff looked after us: one or 2 ought to be enough. The noise was really an issue: of course, it’s hugely popular, but it was nearly impossible to hear the waitstaff as they described our dishes to us.

We go to The Keg every year on Jan 1st! First time dining at The Mansion, and it was very worth it. Service was timely and friendly, food was delicious, music volume and ambience was perfect. The only things I would make note of: Presentation of the food was lacking. It tasted great! But it was amusing at the lack of presentation haha. The women’s washroom was also a bit dirty and messy - it was off putting for an upscale restaurant. Overall, great experience!

It was my moms 50th birthday and wanted the evening to be special. When we got there our seat wasn’t ideal.. so I had asked the hostess if it was possible to have a table with a view seeing as it was my mom’s special day! After two attempts she got us an amazing table with the view of the CN Tower. Couldn’t have been any happier with her willingness to help. The waitress we had was equally amazing; friendly, informative and even gave my mom a birthday dessert! The price was pretty decent considering we dined with 4 people and spent close to $300 including tip. Honestly thought I’d be spending more. Overall, I’ll be back :)
