Consistent quality, attentive, accommodating staff. A lovely experience for returning like family being treated regally by old friends, and our U.S.A. guests loved it, too. Wonderful, fresh, simple, brunch choices with flowing pots of tea. Beautiful live piano music. Will always make this our preferred oasis in Toronto.

This is my 3rd time here i would say this was my least favourite time. Some of the servers acted like i was bothering them when i ask them for anything or made eye contact with me and immediately look away so they didnt have to come over. Also french toast was super runny today. Avocado toast was bland 0/10 no seasoning or salt what so ever and was cold which is odd for an avocado toast

We all enjoyed the 5-course tasting menu while catching up with our friends. The courses were each unique and spaced out well in a relaxing space with live jazz in the background. Service was excellent and we were comfortably full at the end of our meal. They now have a 8-course menu as well which might be tempting to try when we’re more hungry!

Joni is more than a me, it’s a thoughtfully curated experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was thoughtful and attentive, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Picture this: plump scallops, seared to a golden crust, nestled on a bed of tender turnips. Each element is balanced with care: the sweetness of the scallops, the earthiness of the turnips, and the nutty snap of hazelnuts. Simple, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Service complements the kitchen’s elegance. The staff make you feel inherently welcome and genuinely cared for. And when Head Chef Jon stops by your table, it’s more than a courtesy visit…it’s a shared moment. You sense his pride in these scallops, the stories behind their sourcing, and the effort in how they were prepared.

We had a wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner. We started on the 17th floor in the Writer’s Room Bar. McKenzie was our server, and he was excellent. He was very attentive to our needs and brought us champagne for our celebration. We later had dinner at Joni. Our food was amazing and the service was impeccable. It was a very memorable evening for us, and we will be sure to return to both Joni, and the Writer’s Room Bar.

Joni is an exceptional place to celebrate any special occasion, our experience there was absolutely amazing and truly memorable. We made our reservation in advance and noted that we were celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and thoughtful. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and warm anniversary wishes from the entire team. The manager on duty, JC, welcomed us personally and ensured that the table he had thoughtfully selected created the ideal setting for our celebration. We opted for the tasting menu, and every course exceeded our expectations. The food was fresh, beautifully plated, and tailored to our preferences. Chef Drew was outstanding, he visited our table to understand our tastes and crafted each dish with remarkable care. He checked in with us multiple times, and his passion for what he does truly showed. The lobster dish and braised beef were unforgettable. Service was impeccable throughout the evening. A special thank you to Brian, who went above and beyond to make our night even more enjoyable. His warm and friendly approach made us feel truly valued, and the surprise gift of their famous butter tart was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. Thank you to the entire Joni team for making our anniversary so special. This has become our new favourite spot to celebrate, and a place we’ll be coming back to again and again.
