Best cut and colour of my life.

Colourist Kelly took me from a brunette to a strawberry blonde and Jamie gave me an awesome cut that still looks good two months later.

I’ll definitely be back.

I went for my 25th birthday and had a lot of fun. We went with a large group and so we had an entire tent to ourselves which was neat. (Each tent has about 4 tables, so you could be seated near strangers if you were going with a smaller group.)

The food was pretty good overall. The only things I didn’t enjoy were my first and second courses because I ordered the bowl of olives and the chevre brulee and that’s exactly what you got – half a jar of olives and a wheel of cheese to eat with a knife and fork.

The rest of the dinner was really good and the entree portions were huge. The belly dancer was a little hard to see from where we were seated but she came around to all the tables and, if you were lucky-which I was-made you get up and try it.

I would definitely go again if it was with another group but would probably stick to Cafe Moroc if it was for a date.

It is a complete and total rip-off of Sandwich Box right down to the little white boxes your lunch comes in, (I think they might have one or two spreads that are different) but is just as good anyhow.

The food has always been good anytime I’ve been, but they seem to switch up the menu now and again, as you can no longer get the giant glass of cherry lemonade, which used to be my favourite. The homemade ‘Buffalo’ potato chips are a nice alternative to fries, the baked mac and cheese is creamy and comforting, and the jerk chicken wtih pineapple is good but really, really spicy!

The bartender started inventing shots for us, including one he called ‘Christmas in a Glass’ which strangely enough, really did taste like Christmas…...if Christmas had a taste.

I had read numerous good reviews about Betty’s online and decided to check it out for lunch one day as I work only a few buildings over. I’m sorry to say that other then their slick website the place was total crap. The menus were dirty computer printouts/handwritten photocopies and my lunch consisted of frozen McCain shoestring fries and a lava-hot microwaved chicken enchilada. It sucked. Hardcore.

Maybe Betty’s used to be great, but if it was, it has certainly gone downhill.

....to stock up on Ramune soda!

I just moved here over a month ago to live with my boyfriend and I have to say I’ve never been more in love with a city then I am with Toronto.

I’m only saying worth it because there is no ‘Meh’ rating. They have your typical pub fare here, nothing to write home about but nothing to avoid either. The patio was large and our waitress was a bit of a ditz, spilling and dropping things the whole time (thankfully not on anybody) but otherwise nice. They waitresses are also dressed in tiny schoolgirl type uniforms…if you like that sort of thing.

We went here for lunch and drinks one afternoon and will NEVER go there again. The ladies bathroom had nearly an inch of water on the floor and was dripping smelly water from the ceiling all over the sinks which you could not avoid if you wanted to wash your hands. We ordered a simple veggie tray that had carrots so old you could bend them like rubber and our waiter disappeared and NEVER CAME BACK. Not even the other wait staff knew where he was. We had to basically flag down the bartender just to pay and get out of there.

Absolutely AWFUL.
