    The food was mediocre. They served our main course 5 minutes after our appetizers arrived, and then served our cocktails after the main course was brought over. They seemed really disorganized even though most of the staff were just standing around.

    We were celebrating an anniversary and received a complementary glass of prosecco to toast. Nice touch. Service was good. We shared a Calimari appetizer. My husband enjoyed the flavours of his Tuna Poke Bowl & I the "Lamborgini". We shared a very moist & tasty Carrot Cake dessert. All in all, a great evening and restaurant to visit. Although we reside in the neighbourhood, this was our first time at O&B Cafe.....As Arnold would say "We'll be back."

    Since I was not aware of restaurants within the area of Toronto we were hoping to stay within, I found Oliver & Bonacini while searching on the Internet. It was extremely easy to make a reservation on line. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, we felt very welcomed and were looked after very well. All meals were very well done, wine exceptional accompaniment to the food. At no time did we feel rushed, no hovering around our table but served in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this restaurant and any time we return to Toronto, will definitely make reservations to eat at O & B at Yonge & Front (entrance on Front).

    Had the Poke and the mushroom soup. Mushroom soup is still as good as I remember. I usually get the mac and cheese but they've changed it so many times I wasn't up for trying it out so went with the Poke. Let's just say, I've had my share of poke and this by far is not even on my list to try again nor recommend. The rice, how do you mess up the rice! It was hard/undercooked! So disappointing and the price of it just makes it worse.

    Great meal at O & B, family were originally seated by the kitchen entrance which was loud but when we asked to move we were accommodated quickly. We had some picky eaters but most requests were also accommodates. Great meal and service. Always a good spot when down by Front St. Meal selections were also abundant.

    Service was pretty good but food was meh. Been a few times and never loved the food. Chicken was almost undercooked, caprese salad not made with buffalo mozzarella (or something higher quality), poke bowl rice was undercooked as well. It was fine overall but for the high prices they’re charging, a bit sub-par.

    The steak salad was very poor. Sent it back and the next one came out chewy as well. Kitchen was closing at 7:30 on a Sunday so I guess they just didn’t want us in there. Overpriced tourist trap.

    Very tasty food at a reasonable price. We were there at a pretty quiet time, which detracted from the energy a bit. Also the location means that there is plenty of noise from nearby stadiums, St Lawrence Market, etc., which I enjoyed a lot, but may be something to be aware of

    We shared a great salad of arrugula, tomatoes and mozzarella and then two of us split one of the pizzas. Crust of pizza was a bit disappointing but overall it was good. Other guest had the Mac & Cheese which she enjoyed. The Shiraz we all shared was excellent. I'd like to go back and try the salmon. The restaurant was good and would return.

    Overall, the experience was very good. A friendly attentive server. Great food. My only complaint was that the spicy margarita was unbalanced. Too much acidity, needed more simple syrup or something to even it out. I would return, anyone can have a bad day and make an ok drink. Service was top notch.
