The Loose Moose is a lively bar in downtown Toronto favoured by locals and out-of-towners since 1989. Their fondness may have something to do with its beer selection. After all, with over 65 varieties on tap, repeat visits are kind of a given, especially for lovers of Canadian craft. Beer isn't the only thing we have to brag about. With inventive plates, generous portions and the cleanest taps in the city, this is a bar you’ll likely come back to — plan or no plan.

Vasili provided us with prompt and attentive service and accommodated our special requests with a smile. Our food had a lovely presentation and served at just the right temperature. The pate was like a mousse, very flavourful and light. The frites arrived piping hot just the way we like them. The ratatouille kabob had a nice smokey flavour accompanied by a spicey sauce. The glazed carrots were cooked perfectly.

What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!

We had a great time at Gusto 501. We ordered carpaccio, baked brussel sprouts, and Pepperoni pizza from the Happy Hour menu, and Truffle Pasta and Risotto from the main menu. All meals were delicious.
