I have been here before and it was great, which is why I chose Epoch to celebrate my birthday there (3 people total). The best part about Epoch is that it is in the Ritz-Carlton hotel which means that although Epoch’s menu is not great, the hotel’s room service menu has some of the best food in the city. In the past, I would always just order from the room service menu (they have the best chicken tenders in the world). All 3 of us looked at both menus (we found the room service menu online) and all of us happened to want things from the far superior room service menu. Unfortunately, this time around we were told their policy changed and we could no longer order from that menu. Keep in mind, I was there two months ago and had no problem ordering from the room service menu and it was amazing. After trying to find something good to eat from the Epoch menu without success, we decided to leave and go to a different restaurant somewhere else. I hope they change their policy back or perhaps the Ritz-Carlton should open a dine-in restaurant for the public featuring their room service menu because they are depriving the whole city (unless you stay at the hotel) from some of the best food in Toronto.

The booking system was acknowledged to be a little problematic but the afternoon tea we wanted was accommodated. It had pretty much everything in a standard afternoon tea service. The food was fresh, the presentation was lovely and the service was good.

Excellent service from Carlene and Brent. Lobster roll was amazing. Bread pudding different than what would expect but delicious. Looking forward to the patio opening up with the nicer well. Thanks again Carlene and Brent. CapsFam

Pretty mediocre. As soon as we arrived we were given a time limit on our seating. There was literally no one in the place. When I'm paying for "tea" prix fix, I don't want to be given a time limit on how long I can enjoy my experience. Pretty lame. The staff were very nice, otherwise.

We had an excellent experience at Epoch today. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. I was a little surprised our servers didn’t seem to know about the information we had put into our Open Table reservation (they didn’t know we were celebrating a birthday until they overheard us talking about it) although we listed it in the reservation. However, they were extremely hospitable and thoughtful- they even brought out a birthday brownie to honour the event. It was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed it immensely!

We went for Afternoon Tea to celebrate my birthday. The place is spectacular, and we were seated by the fireplace. They also have a beautiful outdoor patio. While the afternoon tea was a bit pricey compared to other places, it was to be expected after all we were dining at the Ritz Carlton. The food was delicious, and the staff were super attentive, always making sure our needs were taken care of. The Ritz Carlton is definely worth a visit.
