We ate dinner on the patio. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

Great Sunday brunch on the patio.

Our experience was underwhelming. There is nothing special/exciting about the brunch menu items. Service was extremely slow, and we were definitely forgotten at different times during our visit (we were waiting to ne moved in the dining room... which they forgot about.)
I had to ask our waitress to tell us which cheeses were on the cheese board (should be a given)... and the cheeses were small, poorly chosen, and not fresh. I do think a menu facelift is necessary (at least for weekend brunch). Also must fix outdoor heaters so that patio can be fully enjoyed by guests.

Had brunch on a Saturday in the cafe. Eggs benny and tuna salad were both excellent. Service was too notch.

The braised lamb pasta was amazing

Birthday lunch

Sassafraz has excellent cooking of a most interesting menu. The wait staff were excellent; they ensured we were served at each stage and remembered our preferences. We were celebrating a birthday and so received a complementary candle and treats.

Absolutely superb service, exterior ambiance and good food.

Wonderful lunch with friends. One of our first meals out . Everything was perfect

Soup excellent. Beet salad too small and a little boring. Waiter excellent.

Menue is limited but what we got was gorgeous, bore chop was delicious and partner got the tenderloin steak , cheesecake so creamy , cocktail s and staff were also great !

Great food, great service, great location, great ambience

We ate outside. The table was nice and well spaced between evergreens. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. Great Manhattans for a start. The tomato and white bean salad was both refreshing and delicious. We ach had different mains and enjoyed them: chicken, salmon and tuna. The chocolate bar with ice cream for dessert was out of this world. Always have a great dining experience at Sassafraz. Thank you.

Another excellent meal and outstanding service - thanks, Bettina!

Always a great bistro but now also does a fine good with social distancing and sanitation in dining area. Bar lounge and patio also carefully spaced. “No contact” menus.

Great for lunch, good for dinner. Patio or next to window seating is best.

That mojito drink was ridiculously good...

Sassafraz has always been a great place to dine. My only complaint is that now that I am gluten intolerant there is precious little for me to eat. There are no dietary markings on the menu either.

Food great, service great, place great.

Great location, Food and ambiance.
Would return.
Steak tartar was divine.

Sassafraz never disappoints. I've had many dinners here over the years and this was a first time brunch with Sassafraz, I loved the street patio vibe and the brunch was delicious!

Thank you. I'll return many many more times.

Celebrated a friend's birthday. Dinner was great service was great. My steak was a little under cooked but tasted awesome. The mac and cheese was awesome bread was delicious beet salad really good. Was a little disappointed because they ran out of the Lamb. Overall ambience was lovely. This was my second time here and loved it.

The dinner service was extremely slow. The waitress had to search the manager who had the key to the wine cellar. So we sat 30 min with a bottle of water, then the wine came. The soup took as long. Then it took another 30 minutes until the main course arrived. Everything seemed to be off track. The meat was tough and undercooked.
This is not the way we like and know Sassafraz.
They are much better at lunch time or when sitting at the bar or outdoors.
We hope that this was a one time bad experience and not an indication on how things will go in the Winter.
They gave us a free cheese board for desert with an apology.

Austin is an amazing server. Great experience!!

Such a lovely outdoor dining experience today with good social distancing and safety measures in place.

The restaurant has excellent Covid protocols in place. I felt very safe. Service was cheery and impeccable. Food was wonderfully delicious. Altogether a memorable experience.

We have been regular diners at Sassafraz for years. That is our recommendation.

Lovely patio, good for and drinks! We’ll be back !

Great visit, great food, great service. Go for lunch or dinner, a drink or a full meal, up to you.

Overall we were happy. I’m a regular at Sassafraz. I was disappointed with the amount of time it took to be served brunch. One hour and five minutes between our order and bringing food to our table!

Excellent on all counts!
Great food, super service.
Wonderful management of Covidays requirements.

It was great having an opportunity to eat outside, watching other diners and strollers along Cumberland St. Summer at its best. They have done an excellent job in distancing the tables and providing privacy with tree dividers. On top of it all, the food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient. You cold not ask for more in Toronto int he summer!

Beautiful summer evening in Yorkville enjoying a delicious dinner on the patio facing Cumberland. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the truffle fries were a great side. The oysters and beef tartare appetizers were a hit as well as the feta and olives. Our server was very attentive and provided superb service. An overall outstanding experience!

Place was great, food and service were excellent. Would definitely recommend

Lovely decor, quiet and food is great. Staff is attentive but not overly in the way. Clear covid signage.

High quality food and service , fun atmosphere dining on the street at night

Great food and service!
Inside was very nice, but the extended patio wasn’t the nicest.

The food is terrible. The chef should be immediately fired. Dog food. Not even. Garbage

It was great. Never have I had a bad time here. There’s a reason it’s been around for 20 years.

Food terrible. Rubbish
