We had a dinner reservation for 6 p.m. Got there at 5 and sat to the bar for a cocktail. Pleasant chatting with bartender Andre. At 6 Hostess Suzy seated us at a table of our choice. My husband and I enjoyed a 5 course tasting menu with Ontario wine pairing. The reason we chose Wednesday night was for the live music. The outstanding food/wine, enjoyable music with Sandra and Mike along with spectacular service from Akil and the restaurant ambiance made for a magical evening. An anniversary to remember:)

Went for the Summerlicious event. Firstly the menu didn’t correspond precisely to the menu on the summerlicious site, it’s a shame cause I was looking forward to the halibut curry and the seaweed tomato salad. Secondly personally I didn’t find the food to justify the price at any level. The appetiser was really nice but the main meal - Corn ravioli, wasn’t great. The service was flawless but quite a lot to pay for that.

Crème brûlée French toast was chunky (crème brûlée was not smooth) and the bread was extremely soggy. The waiter was good and tried to make up for it by providing a complimentary coffee however the overall experience was unfortunate.

Awful service. We waited 40 minutes for our food. Omelettes were bland and insipid. Waiter was not attentive to our needs. Certainly not the value for the cost. Disappointing…we expected better from the Hyatt Park Plaza.

Enjoyed my first brunch at Joni, though the second one a few months later was pretty terrible. The oatmeal was watery, lukewarm and tasted like instant. I didn't find out they had run out of bananas for the oatmeal until it was delivered, and was offered a choice of substitute fruit. I did not receive the potato and bacon sides I ordered with the oatmeal, and had to remind the server to bring them - they came one at a time, each a minute apart. The bacon was hard and lukewarm, and the 'crispy potatoes' were two obviously deep-fried perfect squares of shredded potatoes, that would have felt right at home in a paper pouch with the golden arches logo printed on it. I ordered green tea, was told some time afterwards they were out of green tea, then was offered a choice of Lemon Ginger or tropical green tea instead (yes, out of green tea, except for the green tea?). I was not told there were two choices of green tea when I first placed my tea order. My friend ordered herbal tea and was given a choice of mint or chamomile (the same selection as Tim Horton's?), while the lemon ginger was not mentioned. My friend didn't want to pay $25 for a single piece of avocado toast, so she inquired if there were one or two slices. She was told there was one piece, but it was a sizeable 'loaf', so she ordered it. It turned out to be one slice of avocado toast - perhaps a slice from a loaf? There was a solo jazz singer singing into a microphone, over recorded background music, with a music stand in front of her. Despite a lovely voice and the fact that she was truly singing her heart out, it, all the diners were talking over her, and it made it harder to converse. Despite her lovely voice, it came off as cheesy. My friend noted it was the sort of thing you would expect to see at a suburban airport hotel, not the Hyatt Plaza. I felt sorry for the singer - though it was very poor judgement to put her in that room for brunch. Good karaoke is still karaoke.

Food was mostly good (halibut main was a very small portion and quite under seasoned; fritters were tiny and pretty basic for $18). Birthday dessert was delicious and special. Overall a nice experience, but not really memorable.

The waitress was very friendly but there was far too much food for the family brunch menu. One of the dishes can be cut entirely as there were too many egg dishes. Perhaps a lighter dish similar to the fruit dish maybe even a salad would be more ideal. This would also bring the cost down perhaps to $55 or $60 per person which would be more reasonable.

Joni did not disappoint us. The overall experience was an enjoyable evening. The tasting menu were a bit adventurous but well received. The wine pairing was nicely paired to some unique dishes. There were two dishes that we will definitely go back to have the a la carte. I have to say the service is one of the best we have encountered, from the wait staffs, manager and the chef were very tentative but not over the top. It was just a comfortable overall dining experience.
