Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Bloor West Village

The overall ambience was really nice, we lived the upscale diner vibe. Wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. It was like being at an East coast fine dining kitchen party! The food was delicious, seafood platter we could have eaten 3. The preserved oyster, scallops our favourite, shrimp and oysters great way to at tart our meal. Soups yum, the chowder was full of seafood so light yet creamy. Fish and chips amazing you have to eat the tartar sauce with it, it really added to the flavour of the fish. Crab dip definitely a must try it was creamy but not an over powered cream cheese flavour a perfect balance. Desserts were delicious but very big and very sweet we had the Hello Dolly and sundae we should have split one dessert between the 3 of us. I wish we had tried the lemon meringue pie. Next time for sure!

We finally tried Alo after hearing much great things. We sat at “The Bar at Alo” for a St-Valentines fixed menu. The Service was outstanding from all staff and the food / cocktails were indeed deserving of their Michelin Star. Ambiance and decor in the bar area was a bit dark for our taste. I found the prices to be a bit steep, but not outside the norm at this level. The wine pairing was interesting and will get two of their featured bottles. However, I wonder why they chose to feature a US bottle in their pairing at this particular time. Overall great experience, will likely try their main dining area in the near future.

Spectacular meal last night at Lee. First - it's a beautiful and elegant space. Second - the service was excellent. Third - the food was not only beautifully presented, it was all perfectly prepared and very, very good, with many interesting and appealing options on the menu. My best meal out in Toronto in quite a while.

The minute you enter Linny’s you know a lovely experience awaits! The ambience is gorgeous and service exceptional. From the menu, we chose the Friday Evening Special option as a way to taste many house favourites. So many delicious items!!! A tiny disappointment … our steak was chewy and more fat than protein. It was an expensive evening but one we all thoroughly enjoyed. A venue to put on the list for special occasions.

Great place. Drinks were good, but nothing new/extraordinary. The appetizers (we ordered a burrata and the cheesy garlic bread) both were really good. The pasta was good, but it was a slightly salty for my taste. If they get the salt right the pasta will definitely taste amazing! The lime tart as desert is a must. Will definitely come back.
