    Main course came after 1 hour in a weekday dinner. When the bill came they already charged 20% tips for a 2 person dinner.

    Food was tasty but ended up getting sick that night and the next day. Servers routinely brought out dishes separately and forgot cutlery. Wine served in plastic cups. Had to request glass.

    The views are just outstanding. I had a fantastic margarita cocktail and shared in the calamari, which was prepared in such a refreshing way. Our server was an absolute delight. The umbrellas’ base made it difficult to get in and out of my seat, but other than that it was a great experience.

    10/10 would go back again. We booked a table for 14:15 on a Monday and when we got there they said the kitchen closes in 5mins. I didn’t now understand it but keep it in mind or ask before you make a reservation especially if you want food.

    Rating: (3/5) My recent visit to your restaurant left me with mixed feelings. While there were some highlights, there were also significant drawbacks that I couldn't overlook. First, let's start with the positives. The restaurant boasts very lovely views of Toronto. From our table, we could see the stunning cityscape, which added a unique and charming ambiance to our dining experience. The panoramic vista was indeed a sight to behold and added a touch of romance to our evening. However, the positive vibes quickly dissipated when we delved into the menu. We decided to try their highly recommended dishes – Octopus and Cornish hen. The salty octopus, unfortunately, lived up to its name in all the wrong ways. The dish was excessively salty to the point where it overpowered any other flavors. Very disappointing, considering the price point of the restaurant. While the presentation was visually appealing, the taste did not justify the high price. The portion size was rather small, leaving us craving for more, both in terms of quantity and flavor. One would expect the hen dish would be paired with veggies, rice or some potatoes. Perhaps the most glaring issue was the pricing itself. The menu items were egregiously overpriced for the overall dining experience. I couldn't help but feel that we were paying more for the view than for the culinary experience. It's clear that the restaurant places a premium on the view, but the other aspects of the dining experience, i.e. food and price, need substantial improvement to justify the high prices. In summary, offers very lovely views of Toronto, making it an attractive choice for a special occasion or a romantic date night. However, the high prices and the underwhelming quality of the food make it difficult to recommend this restaurant for those seeking a truly exceptional dining experience. It's a place where you pay a premium for the scenery, but it falls short in delivering a well-rounded culinary experience.

    Beautiful view, poolside. Great ambiance. Excellent food choices and reasonably priced. Anna our server was truly magnificent. Everyone was polite and exemplary. I’m a tea snob… so the following is in that vein Sloane English breakfast tea rather weak in tea liquor taste. Why not consider a supply of loose leaf black tea (in a tin canister). Or steep 2 tea bags in the teapot. Thank you for our wonderful experience.

    I came to this restaurant to celebrate my partner’s birthday and to decide if it was the type of place my mum would enjoy. I decided not to purchase a gift certificate for my mother’s 75th birthday because your wine prices are outrageous, the food was cold and the bathrooms disgusting. I parted with $250 for the cheaper steak for the both of us accompanied with one order of fries and one broccolini. We shared an an appetizer and had 2 glasses of red wine (1 each). All of the food was cold, and the Burrata came with one slice of toast cut in half- When I visited the washrooms later in the evening, there were five or six stalls all with no toilet paper, and one stall was completely disgusting Disappointing I would say.

    Great spot for drinks and some apps. Dinner has a lot to be desired for. Also, offering only 1 beer on tap for a restaurant of this quality is baffling. Come for the atmosphere and good vibes, not the food.

    We had a fun time at KOST! The vibe was nice - the interior decor gave a beachy atmosphere which was nice! We went around sunset time so the views were amazing definitely the best part of the evening! For drinks, I ordered the sunset margarita which tasted amazing & the spicy tequila pasta was delicious!!
