    Outstanding cocktails. Delightful service. Good food. Lovely people. The only problem with it is that it isn’t closer to my house. Could you please have someone see if it can be moved a bit north and west? Thanks.

    Sat at the bar. We had Eric as a bartender/server. Service was amazing, drinks were incredible. Eric walked us through the menu and gave us great recommendations. Watching him bartender was so cool to see. Definitely recommend

    One of the best bars in Toronto. Staff is always friendly and attentive, bartenders make the most incredible drinks and the sourdough is to die for! Intimate setting is great for date night or celebrating something special.

    Great ambience in an intimate environment with great music and lighting balanced for conversation and enjoyment. Great place for date night. Coctails are the star of the show with each one being a work of art in both the flavor and the presentation. Food menu is meant for sharing and we had nearly one of everything. Loved the steak, cheese board, salad, jerk chicken, seasonal specialty shrimp and cake at the end. Each was presented as a work of art with flavor to match.

    I was outdoor, and there was no heater or any thing to get comfort as it was a cold evening. The drinks are all too sweet for me, but I guess thats what general public like?
    Mother Cocktail BarResponded on June 2, 2025
    Hi Xiaofeng, thank you so much for your review and we are very sorry if our drinks are too sweet for you, really. Our patio I am afraid cannot have an heater as it's built with a plastic cover which I am afraid will burn if we add an electric panel into it. Please next time perhaps ask before booking or sitting so to have a better picture of the place you want to visit. ❤️❤️

    Very interesting and well-constructed cocktails. I enjoyed the apple cider the most, though... beautiful dry cider from Brittany. And the truffle parmesan fries were amazing. Very friendly and professional service.

    Alexander, so happy you liked the experience. Hopefully we will make 5***** next time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    My group only enjoyed the cocktails here. We were seated outside and it was pretty chilly, so we were a little disappointed in that but it was a really busy night for the restaurant. The cocktails were excellent and the attention to detail was incredible. Our server was lovely and very attentive.
    Mother Cocktail BarResponded on June 2, 2025
    Nicolle, thank you so so much for your review. We will make sure to specify that the patio is NOT heated after your observations (this is also the coldest May EVER!) ... very glad you still enjoyed the experience! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
