    The chef needs to know the difference between Medium Rare and Medium. Especially on a $130 steak.

    We celebrated a birthday at Baro Toronto and opted for the Winterlicious menu. While the service was exceptional, unfortunately, the overall dining experience was a bit of a letdown. To start, I had the *ceviche de atun*. It was good—definitely not great, but it had a pleasant flavor. My partner went for the *chori papa*, and sadly, it was extremely under-seasoned. It lacked the depth of flavor we were expecting. For the main course, I ordered the *pulpo a la parrilla*. Unfortunately, it arrived ice-cold, and we had to send it back for a redo. When it came back, it was just okay in terms of flavor—nothing that wowed us. My partner chose the *pollo guisado*, which came with rice and beans. The chicken was absolutely delicious—soft, buttery, and well-seasoned—no complaints there. However, the rice and beans were another story. They were undercooked, crunchy, and lacked seasoning, including something as basic as salt. For dessert, things turned around! I ordered the *alfajores*, and my partner had the *churros*, both of which were *chef’s kiss*. These were the highlight of our meal. While the food and drinks were disappointing in several areas, I want to give a special shoutout to our server, Sarah. She was an absolute gem! Funny, knowledgeable, and so attentive—she really elevated the experience. 10/10 for her service! We were also warmly greeted by the host, Josette, who was kind and welcoming upon both our arrival and departure. 10/10 for her as well! Overall, despite the food not living up to expectations, the service and hospitality made the evening memorable. Here's hoping for a better culinary experience next time!

    Baro has the best octopus I have tried in the city. Service is always incredible. I love going here for special occasions. Drinks are a bit pricey but to on par with Toronto drink prices. I have been here a few times and will definitely be back!

    My friend and I had the best time dining at Baro. The half price bottles of wines were definitely a perfect add on.

    The host was dismissice, rude and unattentive. The only saving grace not to give lower score was a waitress who made sure we had a somewhat enjoable time. Would not recommend! On a side note- bottomless mimosas would only be worth a price if staff was more attentive to empty glasses.

    The food was honestly not good at all. Having paid almost $200 it was deff one of the worst food I’ve had. The octopus was extremely overlooked, they did change it for us and it was a bit better but still not good. The rice was extremely dry and barely edible. The dessert were also okish. The passion fruit tarts was very sweet and very tangy at the same time and the flavours were not balanced at all. That being said the service was extremely nice and they did try and accommodate us very well.

    Baro is a go to for me for business meals and or just with friends and it never disappoints. If new to the restaurant , my guests are always impressed and for those of us returning we always have a great time. The food is exceptional , wide variety and wonderful flavours . It can sometimes be a bit loud on the ground floor but it is large enough to move if it is too noisy. The staff have incredible knowledge of the menu and are attentive . Highly recommend !!!
