    We had an excellent experience! We will definitely return. The staff, ambiance, and food were wonderful. We plan to have regular visits for our UofT group outings.

    Went for brunch on a Saturday at noon. It was extremely quiet likely due to the time and that it was the first nice Saturday in a long time and perhaps most opted for a patio setting. I shared a big breakfast with my youngest daughter and my oldest had the classic eggs Benedict. The food was delicious. We had a mimosa and Marguerita as we were celebrating a birthday, which were as expected. The ambience is lovely and I bet makes for nice dinner setting. All-in-all, it was a good experience, service was perfect and would go back.

    Still undiscovered but a great place to host events such as birthday’s and get togethers! The servers are so kind, attentive and welcoming! Food was good, DJ was great, Arcade was fun - just needed more people, I think it’ll start booming in the summer time!

    We came for brunch/ lunch on Mother’s Day and had the best time! We enjoyed a game of bowling after and played some games at the arcade. Overall a great experience!

    I celebrated my birthday here and the ambience is so lovely, dim lighting with comfortable seating. The servers were so hands on and helpful. My group really had a good time. The only thing I don't like is that you are forced to pay for bowling shoes. At other alleys you are okay to use your own. National should adopt this.

    Overpriced and service is really bad. Should be an option to order at the bar when it’s hard to find server.

    Had a wonderful experience at The National! My colleagues and I had such a fun time — the service was spot on, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the food was absolutely delicious (especially the pizza and wings!). A special thank you to Viviana, the event coordinator, who was incredibly helpful and made sure every detail was taken care of. Highly recommend The National for team-building events or group outings — it was a hit all around!

    Sat at the bar. Not a lot of people in the restaurant. Our server, who was also the bartender was top notch. She was busy- but handled the people in the bar are well. She asked questions to ensure we were able to customize the food we ordered. The noise level was loud. We were told it was quieter where we were versus the other bar. I might go back just due to the service we received.
