Reviews for Against the Grain in Toronto, ON
Today I was exhausted. My wife, mother-in-law, cooked excellent dishes at home, after which I had a strong feeling that nothing... can surprise me tonight. We passed by this place and decided to have some cocktails. And oh, God, that salmon salad, was exactlywhat I needed that night. It's served in a beautiful bowl and has amazing ingredients. As well as it's big enough to make mefull. Sangria was also great, it has some ingredients that are not my favorite, like pineapple, but mixed together it createsawesome flavour. Finally, the patio is close to water, that only a few places in downtown have. Read more
Food looks much better than it tastes. Good if you want pictures of food and a nice patio view. Service was very slow. Took... almost an hour before they took the food orders. And had to wait 45min for the bill after asking. I do not recommend. Read more
The place is nice... food was good, We did a reservation as it was my wife's birthday....but we reached a bit late and the... reception's lady was NOT AL ALL welcoming... She did not even consider my request of giving us a lakeside seat even afterrequesting several times. She was rather RUDE... Penny, was Amazing... Her Service was amazing... She helped us change our seatto a better place... I will surely come back and the reason is surely the hospitality given to us by Penny. Read more
One of the best lakeside patios just because of the space they have for outdoor seating. The hosts at the front are really... amazing and help you chose a seat that you want according to your comfort. The food is great, service is a little slow but theymake up for it with their courteous manners. 10/10 would recommend to grab a brunch. Read more
Good place to grab a lunch by the lake. Their shades are funny like … cannot even cover half of the table. Service is pretty... slow but food is quick cooked and fresh tasting. Drink menu has a variety of selections. Menu is covering many countries food.Good to try. Read more
Wow, excellent experience and super staff! When we arrived we were seated promptly and had a really nice place to sit. Sadly the... terrace and our favorite beer was not available, but our server Jamie and Roger the manager made sure that the rest the nightwas exceptional. From the appetizers to main course the food was delicious and simply superb. Overall exceptional diningexperience and great place to visit again. Thanks for a great night! Read more
Not happy at all. The service was not good. Very limited items available for order as well. The management didn’t seem to care... about a simple request like pepper when asked. Certainly did NOT live up to the hype. Not recommending it. The chicken burgerwas okay. Apart from that, the salmon fish dish was very tasteless. Read more
One of the best views you can get while enjoying a meal and/or drink. The food was great. The salmon was perfectly cooked and... the sides were awesome, I'd order this meal again. The jerk chicken was incredible, not really spicy but juicy and flavourful.My only complaint is the staff are slow and seating was weird. The patio was half full but for some reason we had to wait a halfhour. The waitress would just disappear and we'd have to really work to get her attention. I'd still go back, especially duringwarm weather. Read more
