(2 stars for service, 4 stars for food)
Yummy burritos in Hess Village! Service is sub-par but it's hard to screw up when customers just have to fill out a sheet with their order and hand it to the server (one time, they *still* managed to give me the…More »

From the same owners as My Dog Joe in Westdale, Mulberry Street Coffeehouse is a chill place to hang out, study, and socialize. The creative atmosphere and laid-back vibe fit in well with the changing face of James St. N. (an increasing number of…More »

Ah My Dog Joe. Such a wonderful addition to the Westdale scene, although I am probably dating myself if I tell you I remember back when the space was the Cereal House.

This place fills up during exam time. Free wireless, good music, great food and…More »

Lovely! Stopped here for dinner and enjoying the warm ambiance, friendly service, and beautiful antique china. Everything is very, very British. Everyone else around my table was 50+, but no matter. They have a wide variety of teas, heavenly scones,…More »

While the decor leaves much to be desired, the food here is consistently good and the portions are huge (a "side salad" could easily be a meal). But I have to say that the prices for dinner are quite high for what you are getting. $20 for a…More »

Recently renovated (2008 I believe), The Gown and Gavel has the nicest and largest patio on Hess. That's really the main draw, especially in the summer, where it's a great place to relax and people-watch. I haven't been there in the winter, but…More »

Great location on Locke St. with a nice, big patio. Has a cozy, neighbourhood feel - they host community events, allow people to leave flyers at the front, and make all the food on site. You really *want* to like this place. But, ever since coming…More »

THE original Motown night... it all started at Absinthe. Now that I live in Toronto, they do Motown nights at Clinton's, Sneaky's, 751, but it's not quite the same. I haven't been here in a while, but it's still Wednesday Night Motown and Saturday…More »

I organized a bridal shower here and have only good things to say! The owner is very sweet and accommodating. She is used to holding events and makes sure all the details are taken care of. If you want to hold an event here, just make sure to book…More »
