FK

We had a wonderful dinner last night celebrating our wedding anniversary. The tasting menu is so exciting and delicious. We had seafood, meat, pasta and every dish from presentation to taste impressed us. Leaving us wanting more. The premium wine pairing is amazing as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Outstanding anniversary dinner. Still fairly new to Toronto, so I came across this venue by chance when viewing Google maps. Find it a bit odd to make reservations by phone, but it seems to work for them. I always think calling a restaurant would be intrusive as you never know how busy they are at the time. The lady I spoke to was great in setting up a date/time. We got there a bit early but they were ready for us. The space is nice and bright, very comfortable and it filled up almost instantly as we sat down around 1835. The menu, although on the smaller side is quite varied. Definitely will take a few repeat visits to try everything we were curious about. We were taken care of by Stephan (sp??) from Berlin which was an extra treat. We previously had a chance to live in Hamburg and this allowed us to practise some German. All the dishes were fabulous. My wife loves her steaks and the FK steak would put so called steakhouses to shame. It was done perfectly. Can't say enough about the flavor, texture and presentation of all the dishes from their bread to desert. Will definitely return for more visits. Thank you!

I would say it’s worthy of the Michelin Guide. The food presentation is impressive, and the taste is excellent. The sable fish is very tender and smooth, complemented by a light miso sauce that isn’t too thick and has a subtle seasoning. The lobster tail tortellini features lobster dumplings that contain a little lobster meat, but the lobster-flavored sauce is absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. If you're still hungry after one plate, you’ll definitely want to have another. The appearance of the beluga caviar is quite charming. The foie gras wrapped in elk is exceptionally tender and smooth. There is a hint of fishiness, but it’s the most tender and least fishy option I’ve encountered in Toronto. I tried elk for the first time, and it was soft and juicy with no unpleasant taste. The service is fantastic, warm, welcoming, and friendly. I will definitely revisit again.

We partner and I went for my birthday dinner celebration. Cocktails were below average ( we tried the rosemary old-fashion and the rum punch), wine from the special menu at 25$ a glass tasted flat as if from a bottle that had been open many days ago.For food, the zucchini flowers and the sweet corn agnolotti appetizers were very nice and the highlight of the meal. We also had the fig salad that was mediocre (figs were tasteless). For main course I tried the sable fish with spinach for main course and all ingredients were overcooked. It seemed like they used frozen spinach from the supermarket. My partner had the salmon which did't taste special but looked beautiful. For a 270$ meal, we were not impressed as food and drinks were on the bland side - not sure about the fresh local ingredients claim but the presentation was definitely beautiful.

Am I late to this review? Yes! Am I still dreaming about the fantastic dinner we had at the end of April at Frank's Kitchen? Also yes! Every single bite I took was exquisite! Frank’s food is a treat for the eye as well as the taste buds. I like chatting with my husband over dinner but kept getting distracted by how delicious everything was. I can’t remember the wine we had but it was reasonably priced and exactly right with the food. The atmosphere at FK is warm and welcoming and, honestly, it was the most perfect birthday dinner I could have wished for. And then, to top off an amazing celebration, as we were clearly struggling to get a good selfie, one of the waiters came out and took the photo for us! Best night ever!

Squeezed in our whole group day of! Delicious food and very attentive and fun staff. Good wine. Good beer. Creative dishes. Can't ask for more. Not cheap but that's expected. Definitely a must try if it's in your budget! Not sure why it's not asking me price but it was about $100 per person.

My friend randomly found this place on an Instagram ad I went here with zero expectations or even to look at reviews or menu This place was beyond my expectations and somehow became one of my favorite French restaurant in the city now. The Duck egg yolk ravioli with duck confit, bone marrow escargot, 80 day dry aged steak and sablefish was amazing All the ingredients and combinations of sauce was great Even the cocktails are good too Service was excellent too 9.5/10 - I will be back again.

This is EASILY one of Toronto's best dining experiences! We spoke to the table beside us and the wholeheartedly agreed. Every dish somehow outdid the last. It wasn't too surprising to find out Chef Frank's culinary lineage. Wine and cocktail pairings were impeccable and the front of house team were the best we have experienced in Canada. BTW, their prices are too low. That Michelin recommendation is there for a reason. Thank you FK team for such a memorable night.

A delicious farm to table experience where the Chefs really take care pride in their dishes. Came here for a birthday dinner and was blown away by the food here. We brought in a cake but didn't know that they didn't allow for external cakes to be brought in. However, after some discussion they were so sweet to let us cut out cake on their premises as long as we paid for a cake fee along with ordering their in house desserts as well. Great! It's a more quiet restaurant with all locals that are dining in. The crowd is definitely older. Service was amazing, our server was very attentive and always catering to us. I later found out that they use to be a michelin star restaurant so it all made sense why everything was so top notch. Here's what we got Housemade bread 5/5 - Super soft fluffy bread for the table with a delicious made in house butter. I had to stop myself from eating more. Nova Scotia scallop 5/5 - This only serves one. So we got one for each person. The presentation was top notch with babys breath underneath and the scallop being served on it's skell. Taste was amazing with the sauce and the scallop was so fresh. Watermelon Feta 4/5 - One of the dishes I could probably skip. It's still really good with the fresh watermelon paired with the feta cheese. Topped with a chili oil. Tuna Tartare 4/5 - Served with taro chips. The tuna was fresh and seasoned well with all their spices etc. 10oz. Prime dry aged striploin 5/5 - Perfectly cooked to medium rare. The sauce was so absolutely decadent and delicious. It was a tad bit too salty but still tasted amazing. Sweet corn agnolotti 4/5 - Comes with half a poached lobster. This was an interesting dish to have corn in my pasta. Not one of my favourites but nice and different. Sablefish 5/5 - My favourite of the night. The green sauce that was made from watercress was absolute so delicious and so different from what I'm use to. Highly recommend tasting these flavours for yourself. Oxtail ravioli 5/5 - A beautiful presentation and had the perfect amount of sauce to it. A tad salty on this dish as well but overall was great. Strawberry shortcake and passion fruit parfait 5/5 - Both dessert options were amazing. The passion fruit parfait is tarte yet sweet and comes with some boba toppings. Beautiful presentation.

There is a meticulous artistry to FK's offering, both in taste and presentation. The onion soup was a visual delight, nestled in a whimsical bird's nest. The oxtail tortellini and sablefish both had flavourful hits with each bite. The kobe short rib might be one of the best melt-in-your-mouth meat dishes in the city. The goat's milk cheesecake was elevated without losing the simple indulgence of a cheesecake. And the passion fruit parfait was all delicate dollops and dome. But the thing that impresses me most about this place is that all this Michelin worthy dishes are served with a charming warmth that you don't always find at fancy places. It's like you've been invited to the home of one of the city's best chefs, and are enjoying a casual dinner with friends. And it's what makes FK a place to go back to again and again.

@fkrestaurant for an exquisite French inspired menu....and now listed in the @michelinguide FK Restaurant has been on my list of restaurants to visit for awhile. Especially after meeting the team at last years @greatkitchenparty where they placed third which was no easy feat at this prestigious competition. Finally made it there for my recent birthday celebration, and it was amazing and exceeded my expectations. It was an excellent start to the evening with the tastiest Prime Beef Tartare topped with Truffles ...one of the best and perfectly seasoned. I learned what makes it so special is that they use quality Prime Beef which is top 2% of beef quality worldwide which is not often found in many restaurants at all. The Oxtail Tortellini with Morel Fricassee was delicious. The tortellini was a perfect thickness and texture with a generous portion of morels..... and that sauce was so good I had to ask for more of that yummy bread to scoop it all up!! The Veal Chop is tender and is perfect for sharing served with charred Rapini in a rich and very flavourful porcini jus. For dessert, it was no ordinary Strawberry Shortcake. It was a moist lemon olive oil cake topped with a strawberry sorbet flower .....a very stunning presentation! This week, Michelin Guide in Toronto has just added 12 new restaurants to their list. Congratulations to Chef Frank Parhizgar and lovely Shawn Cooper ...@fkrestsurant is on the list!! Now one of my new favourite places to eat in the city ....I highly suggest you put this restaurant at the top of your list. @fkrestaurant 770 St Clair Ave West Toronto 416 551-9731 call for reservations I highly recommend you visit this restaurant!

I didn't know that this place was on the Michelin guide but after dining here I can absolutely see why. At every part of the night the service was extremely professional, and the servers were very welcoming and helpful. Another thing I noticed was how clean and orderly the whole restaurant seemed, everything was set up nicely and there was nothing out of place. Onto the food, I was really excited to try this place and outside of two dishes that I'll touch on in a bit I was very happy with my meal. We started with complimentary bread that had a unique butter and was a good start to our dinner. For appetizers we got the burrata and oxtail tortellini and they were very tasty. I only wish the portions were bigger so I could enjoy it even more. For our mains we got a duck breast and white fish, and they tasted as good as they looked. The two minor issues I had with my meal were the side vegetables and the strawberry cake we ordered. I didn't even end up taking a picture of the vegetables because I was so disappointed in what I got. The strawberry cake definitely looked really nice, but the taste was quite average. Nowhere near enough to dampen my meal, but things that I will be careful about next time. Overall, this is a really lovely meal and I highly recommend checking FK out for a nice dinner or occasion!

Excellent food, well made in a refined atmosphere. Dessert was outstanding and the service professional.

Pretty little place on St. Clair. Had attentive service, not the warmest of staff but efficient. My friend and I both enjoyed our meals. Food was hot and nicely presented.

Food, quality, service and passion = amazing! Very thrilled to have found this gem and tried this restaurant for the first time! The unique dishes, flare and quality were great from start to finish. They do different and do it well! I was so impressed with their in house sun dried tomato loaf and chocolates/ truffles as an added touch. They were delicious! I'd seriously just pay whatever get the bread for take out! They were great with having a high chair ready, never serving dishes over the toddler as proper etiquette and always asked if our lil girl needed anything. We ordered the oysters to start, then a pork chop, bbq short rib, bouillabaisse and the beef tenderloin with seared foie gras. Everyone enjoyed their meals and each other's from trying!! The pork chop was so tender and juicy which a lot of restaurants have a tougher time executing- not here! We also got 2 desserts to share. Delicious and great presentation! We will definitely be back!!

What an absolute gastronomic pleasure to return to FK last night! From the immediate warm welcome to the equally warm home made bread accompanied by Frank's handmade pickles, olives and charcuterie followed by the deliciously fresh and citrusy snow crab salad, the delicious lobster ravioli sauce a la bisque, savory short rib ravioli , amazing porcini veal chop and l'entrecôte that my sons can't stop raving about, this meal was spectacular!! Both the goat cheese sour cherry cheesecake and the sorbeto al limon were a perfect end followed by un petit café fait comme il faut. Add to this the highly professional and attentive service and an extensive and fairly priced wine list, my only concern is: " allo Michelin- allo la guide rouge - did you forget FK's one star up in the galaxy? Bravo Frank, Shawne and team. Une soirée de grande gastronomie et grande gourmandise!! ‍. P

Classy but unpretentious would best describe my experience at FK. Everything that you can see, hear and feel would bring you back to this philosophy. The servers are attentive and would give you a sense that you are being served in a high end restaurant, but in an oxymoronic fashion, they are dressed in black T-shirts and cargo pants. On my left, I can find patrons who are dress like a million bucks, but on my right, you can clearly see the staff was happy to accommodate a new mother with her husband who was in T-shirts and sweatpants while rocking her stroller back and forth. Customers naturally would feel comfortable in their skin, whatever skin they have or are in. The food itself follows the same philosophy. They only use the freshest local produce instead of pushing customers to splurge on the most expensive exotic ingredients. We got half a dozen oysters to start and they were extremely fresh. They gave us six different toppings to mix and match. I personally went all old school either with just lemon juice or cocktail sauce. My wife really liked their homemade hot sauce that had chopped up pink Japanese (gari) ginger inside. Another appetizer we got was the crab cakes. Although texture wise is how a crab cake should be, I just found the pickle based sauce too overwhelming. All I could taste was pickles. I would not recommend that one. I really liked the bouillabaisse which had the right balance of tomato and seafood taste. Despite it being a hot soup, it's perfect for a hot muggy summers day. The seafood was fresh. However, I think the side of lobster was a bit overcooked and they do have to make sure all the clams do not have sand in them. Now onto the peppercorn sauce tagleline. I liked the sauce, it was savoury and a little bit peppery and super cheesy. However, the pasta was not al dente; it's a tad bit too soft. Overall, it was still enjoyable. The servers were also observant enough to give us a lid to cover up our pasta (but maybe because it had the lid on, it made it not al dente?) since they saw us working on the bouillabaisse first. We didn't end up getting dessert, but the bill was accompanied with a couple of homemade chocolate truffles which were delicious. I also very much appreciated the servers taking more of a tag team, communal approach. When you needed something, someone would just step in to attend to your needs. Although we don't look for a quick dinner at a dinner place like this, their approach just makes for a more efficient and enjoyable experience. Since we went for a special occasion, they could consider acknowledging the occasion at the end of the dinner. It really doesn't have to be much. Just a little acknowledgement. I would return to FK just for the bouillabaisse alone. They have things to work on, so a friendly 3.5/5 round up. I forgot to mention that the green bread that they served before dinner was absolutely delicious. Some spots were are a bit too salty though.

Four years later and it's time to update my review. After four years, FK is just as good as ever - truly one of the best restaurants in Toronto. And that's saying a lot because foodwise, this city has an embarrassment of riches. Everything from the chic décor to the stellar service, the cocktails, the complimentary bread with dip and -- of course -- the quality of the meal is just mwah mwah mwah. Three chef's kisses. For your next special occasion, date night or just because, FK is a home run.

Dearest Shawn Cooper: From the beginning, I was a regular at your college street location. My fondest memory was having my (surprise) birthday dinner there. And you turned off ALL the lights in the restaurant when you brought out a homemade bday dessert and candle. The other dining patrons were like 'why are the lights off?' My birthday hosts wanted me to have a 5 star birthday and you certainly went out of your way to make it happen. Most memorable experience ever!!!Yourself and Frank would often come out to our table as we were regulars, and asked us what we felt like eating. And both of you would brainstorm to create items not listed on the menu. It was so natural for you. If you haven't dined at Franks/FK- please go and support them They are truly the epitome of what this industry stands for: excellence, white glove standard of service, fabulous food, family atmosphere and family run business! Very few of these around the city anymore!

This is 4.5 star restaurant. They had a very nice wine list that had bottles of wine that were below $100 and if you don't finish the wine, they will pack up the wine bottle for you and you can take it home. The focaccia bread with the red pepper dip was so good as the bread was light and the red pepper dip was light. The beef carpaccio was excellent. The chanterelle fogottini with truffles and Parmesan was very good. The Nova Scotia Salmon was ok and just a tad overdone for my liking but the veal chop and the beef tenderloin were excellent and perfectly done with flavours that worked perfectly. The passion fruit party and the espresso chocolate ganache were really good and not very sweet. The chocolate ganache was lighter than I expected. Definitely a restaurant to try in the Wychwood Park area.

Wonderful birthday dinner! My husband and I took a little stroll through our neighbourhood last week and walked by FK. Hubby asked me if I thought it might be Frank's Kitchen (he took me there for my 30th a couple of years ago and it was insanely good) but I assumed it couldn't be the same peeps. Lo and behold, after reading some other reviews - I see this is the same Frank of Frank's Kitchen! I suggested I take my husband out for his birthday to celebrate at FK - he happily agreed. I was a bit worried I wouldn't get a reso the same day (we decided late Monday night we wanted to book for Tuesday) but was pleasantly surprised to have a call back confirming our reso after I called around 1:30pm. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and settled into the beautiful space. Our server was very nice and totally sold us on the seafood tower pretty much as soon as he described it, full of many types of fresh seafood with lots of different flavours and textures. While we were waiting for our tower, the chef sent out an amuse bouche which consisted of a deep fried goats cheese ball, sitting on a tiny bed of braised veggies, then finished tableside with a pour of tomato soup tableside - just heavenly! Our seafood tower arrived a short time later and it looked amazing (see photos!). So beautifully presented with bright colours and careful preparation. There were mussels, clams, king crab legs, prawns, lobster ceviche, raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller, house made cucumber kimchi, served with sides of hot sauce, mignonette, fresh horseradish and lemon. This was hands down one of the best seafood dishes I've ever had - everything tasted so fresh and the layers of different flavours were perfect. Its hard to pick a favourite bite out of the tower but the coconut lime ceviche was out of this world delicious - I wanted to lick the bowl! The rosé champagne I ordered was a perfect accompaniment to the beautiful seafood. Our server was also kind to bring a taste of prosecco for my hubby to try with the tower (he hadn't had this pairing before) and he loved it. For our mains, my hubby chose the steak and I opted for the black cod along with an order of onion rings. Everything was so tasty, my fish was cooked perfectly and the romesco sauce with the crispy potatoes and blistered tomatoes was awesome. Bae loved his steak, which was served with truffles shaved over tableside and topped with a crispy fried cheese fondue on top - it was insane. Our server also shaved a nice slice of truffle for my hubby to try just on it's own (he also had never tried) which was so nice. The onion rings were also epic - light and crispy with nice chunks of flaky salt speckled in the batter. Even though we were stuffed at this point, we decided to try a few desserts after hearing they have their own in house pastry chef. We selected the coconut tart, housemade matcha cherry blossom ice cream, and the goat's cheese cheesecake. All of the desserts were so beautiful, the coconut one was topped with tiny butterflies made out of black sesame - incredible! Housemade chocolates arrived with the bill, such a lovely touch! Can't wait to come back to try their brunch!

I have been coming to FK from when it was Franks Kitchen on College and I've never been disappointed. The service is always on point, but the food is the true star. The seafood Boullaibaise is so good. The seafood is fresh and the broth is amazing. I can never get enough of it. I practically dip everything into it. I came to try the new dish the Iberico pork chop and It lived up to what I expected. Chef Knows his flavours and this one hit all the notes. The passion fruit parfait dessert was a huge surprise since I'm not the biggest fan of passion fruit, but this dessert might have changed my mind on that. The flavours and textures were smooth yet explosive at the same time. Very punchy. Just a really great meal that I've come to expect each time I come in. Can't wait till my next meal at FK.

tasting menu for our 30th WA. Delicious beyond imagination. Testament to the Genius of Chef Frank. Service consideration gold medal performance. Thank you for making our evening almost as special as night we got married. ( 5 visit to FK )

My partner and I ordered our NYE dinner from here. It was a fixed priced menu with a choice of appetizer, main and dessert + a chocolate truffle, oh and some bread, cheese and meat to start for only $85! It was so hard to choose what to eat, so we each picked different things to share. You place your order via email, which was very easy. My only suggestion would be to have an option to provide your credit card info over the phone. I did ask, but was advised that all pick-up orders were done via email and to provide the time of the requested pickup, order in full and credit card information to reserve. I know a lot of restaurants were thrown in to the pick-up and delivery options due to Covid and websites are expensive and tie consuming, so maybe there wasn't time or money to put a secure online ordering site together. But just a suggestion for future to be able to call in with the credit card info. Anyway, back to the delicious part. My home presentation wasn't great, so I won't post a picture, but the food itself was OH...MY...GOD. The portions were perfect, we even had a bit leftover for a snack the next day. The absolute standouts were the truffle ravioli and the beef wellington. We were literally talking about them for days afterwards. The desserts were great too! Some can be so heavy after a rich, meal, but they were the perfect after dinner treat. Not too sweet or heavy. I cannot wait to order again.

I am BEYOND PICKY ....Every one there is 99% on point I can't say every time everywhere is always 100% But they definitely in 99% almost Even when I don't like certain things when Frank makes it, I like it.

I called on the day of and they happened to have one table left for the night. Too bad it wasn't on the patio because it was decorated super cute! For some reason I can't remember exactly what the dishes we ordered were and I'm not sure why because everything was really good. But from what I can remember... For appetizers, I believe we got a lobster soup and tuna tartare. It wasn't just a bowl of soup, but more like a lobster app accompanied by soup, which was poured when served. Large chunks of lobster and the soup had all these flavours I wasn't used to having. No complaints. Tuna tartare was solid. I had been craving for one for months so I had to get it. It was everything I wanted. I think we had a steak main and a scallop main. The steak was cooked really well and I loved how it was so saucy. The fries that came with it were perfect. Scallop was another dish I was craving for so long so I was really excited for it. While it was good, I was hoping for a fresher flavour profile and what I got was more heavy. No fault to them but it was just what I had been wanting throughout the lockdown. I also got a sangria and loved it. We didn't end up getting dessert only because we had pre-ordered dessert elsewhere. When we got the bill, we were given two chocolate truffles with it. These are amazing! I don't think I even shared. Pretty sure I just ate both without saying a word. Wish I got the bill after every item ordered... Staff here were super nice & friendly. Knowledgeable to any questions we had. I honestly have no complaints and would definitely go back.

Part of a longer review... "But the most dramatic dish - a true showstopper that forced me to pause, admire and idolize the chef's skill - was the on elk. The contemporary plating showcased four generous pieces of elk tenderloin, placed in a square with accents of wild mustard ravioli haphazardly placed between the succulent morsels of meat. Homemade pasta is difficult to master, and regrettably the ravioli was evidence. A slightly waterlogged interior of bland, mushy wild mustard detracted from the dish's appeal. While I was let down by the underwhelming flavour of the ravioli, the beefy, clean and slightly sweet finish of the elk paired perfectly with our wine, making it more enjoyable. The rich red cherry jus on the white plate emulated blood, and expertly-diced accompaniments of popsicle pear, confit crosnes (or Chinese artichoke) and pickled breakfast radish danced around the luscious protein..."

I'd been wanting to try FK since it was called Frank's Kitchen and was located somewhere else, but somehow I wasn't able to get over there until last night. It was worth the wait. We arrived for a 6:30 reservation a little early and immediately shown to a quiet table on the patio. After we ordered, we were given a small plate of complimentary bread and a very cumin-forward dip, and both were absolutely delicious. The bread was especially tasty, as it was fresh and flavorful. We decided to share a couple of starters, the Crab Cakes with Tartar Sauce and the Baked Oysters Rockefeller ("Spinach, Bacon, Hollandaise"). Both of these dishes pretty much blew us away, and while we loved the subtlety and freshness of the Crab Cakes, the Oysters Rockefeller was the clear winner of the two. I can't even begin to describe how delicious and flavorful this dish was, and I honestly could've eaten about a dozen more of those things. For my main, I went with the 10oz Dry Aged Prime Striploin with Frites, Roasted Mushroom & Peppercorn Jus, and oh my god it was absolutely mindblowing in its deliciousness. The meat was tender and contained an irresistible crust, while the jus had a depth of flavor that was nothing short of addictive. (I totally wanted to lick my plate after the food was finished.) And, as if that wasn't enough, the accompanying fries were amazing, too, and were presented along with a predictably outstanding garlic aioli. (If I had to complain about anything, I have to admit that the steak was cooked closer to medium than medium rare, but that's an extremely minor quibble.) We were both quite full after all that, but I couldn't resist ordering the Goat's Milk Cheesecake ("Seasonal Berries / Brown Butter Crumble") for dessert. It was as amazing as everything else we ate, as the cheesecake itself was lusciously smooth and contained that unmistakable goat's-milk flavor, while the various accompaniments all enhanced the dish considerably. (That Brown Butter Crumble is so, so good.) It's probably not a stretch to label FK as one of the best restaurants in the city, ultimately. I absolutely can't wait to return.

Top notch dinning experience. We all enjoyed our entrees and argued about which of the deserts we tried were the best.

This restaurant is overpriced for the food quality. The ingredients used in the dishes don't compliment each other. They used store bought guacamole for one of the dishes which is dissapointing. The shrimp and lobster did not taste fresh. The flavour cod was alright. the crab cakes were terrible, I didn't see any crab in it, looked like minced imitation crab. I don't know why this place got such high reviews. Don't waste your money here.

I went here for my birthday dinner with my gfs. The decor of the restaurant and atmosphere is very classy. But the place is small so we books reservation. We ordered the seafood tower (24 hrs advance notice) and it was so good. We got lobster, ceviche, oysters and shrimp and it was so good. Also we ordered mains: scallop, trout and lobster, portion was good and it was so delish. On top of that we got a great service. I definitely recommend this place!

We were super excited to try FK--who wouldn't be? The reviews are stellar, the photos of both the food and interior, gorgeous! We love delicious, thoughtfully prepared food! AND it's a close walk for us! But, we were pretty disappointed on our first (and likely final) visit a few days ago... We were the first table to arrive and be seated on Sunday! The host was a little sleepy seeming, but we didn't pay it much heed. Our waiter however, left much to be desired....To start, while filling our glasses, our waiter spilled water on our table. He left abruptly, with no apology (?!) and came back to clean it up. Only he didn't clean all of it up leaving a giant puddle on our table. Another waiter came along and cleaned the rest of it, jovially remarking, "I don't know what happened here..." While FK's wine list is substantial (and my 5oz glass of gruner veltliner, apparently on special, was a shocking $22--my fault as I misread the menu thinking it was $13), my partner prefers beer. Apparently the oxygen was broken for beer on tap, so no beer, not even a bottle, was available. No discount, complimentary drink or significant apology was offered. My cocktail was lovely, and beautifully presented however. The house-made selection of breads was very nice, and one of my favourite parts of the meal. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second basket. A complimentary amuse-bouche was also part of the experience, presented on handmade plates. Again, the plates were pretty but the amuse-bouche itself was a bit boring--beet and deep fried goat cheese without any twist or anything especially interesting. We had a tough time deciding on what to order! Everything sounded amazing, but thought it strange that no specials were on offer. We split the foie gras with quince as an appetizer and we were less than wowed--again beautifully presented, but far from the best foie we've had--far from bad, just uninspired tasting. As we were eating, our strange waiter approached and asked us how we were enjoying the octopus (!!!), to which we just politely nodded. A few moments later, he came back, and asked how we were enjoying the foie--no explanation or humour as if he were a robot thinking we didn't notice he'd asked us erroneously a few minutes ago. My partner chose the duck confit, and I the scallops, two our our favourites. We were expecting smaller portions, but these portions were small even for fine dining. Again, these plates were artfully presented, but the actual food left something to be desired both in flavour and quantity. Our overall verdict was that this was decent but not very good food. We decided to supplement our dinner with a side of parm fries...for $10 :/ No one asked us if we enjoyed our mains or the fries. This disappointing meal did end with a small joy--the house-made truffles were creamy with a delicious hint of salt. Those truffles didn't make the $210 bill any sweeter however. We left feeling hungry and let down. I understand that people and places have off days, but you'd think both the host and waiter would be fresh and eager for the start of the evening--we were the first to arrive after all! Truthfully, it seemed like the waiter was high--very awkward and neither professional or personable. Totally disinterested and disconnected. You'd think that if any restaurant had to inform the customer that no beer on tap was available, at least they'd have a bottle or two on offer.

Wow! Had high hopes for this restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint. I had to arrange a birthday dinner party for 10 girls (not the easiest job) but they were very adequate in calling back to confirm reservations and assisted me in planning this birthday dinner. We ordered almost everything on the menu and i would say 95% of the dishes were on point service was amaZing , food presentation was stunning and it was so tasty. For the appetizers i highly recommend both raw and baked oysters - so delicious! I highly recommend the scallop main, the lobster risotto & the ravioli. Generous truffle shavings as well. Dessert was also amazing - they beautiful wrote happy birthday on the plates with a candle and the desserts were so well plated.. there were butterflies made out of sesame? Im sure ill be back!

Most of what we ordered was outstanding. However the risotto was not to my taste. The tomato bisque was like a paste instead of creamy. The crab cakes were excellent as was the sable. The pasta was delicious. Dessert was a high! As I said what I didn't like may be to someone else's taste. Was a gorgeous night on the patio. Staff attentive but not particularly engaging.

One of the best places ever!! Accommodating staff, divine cuisine and lovely ambience. Would go back again and again and again....

The food gods have united and granted us mere mortals a slice of foodie heaven, right here in our own Toronto backyard! Everything, from the opulent ambiance, to the attentive, knowledgeable servers, to the absolutely outstanding food, is part and parcel of a well oiled food machine. Your taste buds will be stimulated. I ordered the Caesar salad, the ceviche, the scallops, the cheesecake and the berry cocktail. They also serve a delightful amouse bouche and homemade, decadent, melt in your mouth bread. I had eaten at the College Street Frank's Kitchen years ago, and was dismayed when that location closed, as it was one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto. Now, we are blessed with this masterful restaurant. You will be awed, as you are in the presence of greatness! I don't bestow 5 star ratings often, but this place deserves all the praise it can get. It is truly special.

I had a great experience here. Excellent food, great service and wait for this... Awesomely beautiful desserts! I had the oysters Rockefeller, scallops as my main and the yuzu dessert when I last visited. You need to check this place out now. Bookmark it so you don't forget LOL

Great food, very expensive , but well worth it if you can afford it. Outstanding! Nothing more to say.

This was an absolutely superb meal in a fine room, not at all crowded on a Wednesday night. We three shared PEI oysters which were fine, then two of us had a white asparagus appetizer that was generous and glorious. My main was an asparagus risotto (I like asparagus!) with beef short ribs. It too was excellent as was the lobster salad and the bouillabaise my friends had. For dessert we had house made ice cream, again very good. None of us are drinkers, so t he bill with tax and tip came out to $90 each, very reasonable these days and especiallyu so for such an excellent dinner.

Such a quaint restaurant. The food was exceptional. For apps we had raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller which were so delicious not many places still offer this treat! And our mains were the rack of lamb and the beef short ribs - simply delicious and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend Fk and we will be returning.

Staff were wonderful, food was absolutely exquisite, but you will likely be disappointed by the amount of food you are served given the exorbitant prices. We left hungry for much, much more food and likely will not return to be burned by another hefty bill.

We enjoyed our previous visit to the original Frank's Kitchen, so we thought we would give the new location a try. The Focaccia bread and sourdough bread were delicious. Too bad it's an extra $1.50 per person for refills. Otherwise, I would have been eating that up all night! Amuse bouche was cream cheese in tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and delicate, but the tomato sauce was quite plain and not much flavour. For the appetizer, we ordered the zucchini blossoms stuffed with crab ($19). The batter was super light and fried to a perfect crisp with a beautiful golden color. The base sauce had an acidic kick and really went well with the stuffing. This was a fantastic appetizer! Everything up to the main course was delightful, but this is where things started going downhill. For the main course, we ordered the 10 oz Striploin ($41), the Ontario Lamb ($39), and a side order of the Spinach Artichoke Gratin ($12). The spinach gratin was nice. It was quite cheesy, but it was good to eat with the lamb/steak. The lamb was cooked perfectly, but I wasn't a fan of the lamb belly, as it was just a stick of pure fat. Unfortunately, the striploin was way over-cooked almost to border-line medium-well. I called the server over to let him know that my steak was overcooked and he replied with "I'll let the chef know" as he walked away. I couldn't care less if you relay my feedback to the chef. I called you over to let you know that I'm not happy with my $41 steak. This is where you should have apologized for not asking how I wanted my meat cooked initially and then offered to re-cook my steak. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so I let it slide, but that soured the rest of my dinner. This is why I've never had a bad experience at the Keg steakhouse - no matter what, they would be happy to re-cook your steak if you are unhappy with it, no questions asked. Keg knows that customer satisfaction is essential, and they train their staff to ensure one bad experience doesn't cause them to lose a customer permanently. An upscale restaurant like this should really train their staff better. After the mediocre main course, we figured we should get something sweet in our system so ordered the Strawberry Shortcake Rosette ($14) for dessert. The olive oil cake was a little dry and although the strawberry sorbet looked beautiful in the nice flower mold, it was too icy and not very creamy. It was an underwhelming way to end the meal. Overall, our previous experience with the original Frank's Kitchen was much better. The bread and appetizers were fantastic, but it didn't make up for the overcooked steak, dry cake with the icy sorbet, and the bad service. Not sure we'll be coming back again.

Interior was good, food was tasty. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Had a reservation for 6, no problems - everything went smoothly!

My wife and I come here for almost every special occasion, the menu is always different but the food is always amazing. On every visit you can expect fresh food, great ambiance and amazing service.

Loved the place great food and the service was excellent all of the courses. If you go to Toronto it's a must stop by for dinner.

In a word .... FLAWLESS. FRANK AND SHAWN HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! The attention to detail is unsurpassed. The food amazing and the space is gorgeous! The bread service and amuse bouche are a welcomed and refined beginning to an impressive experience. Each dish is a work of art. Frank makes some of the pottery himself to help serve his creations exactly as he intended. The ceviche is perfectly balanced and each component shines through. The lobster is out of this world! The fish with chorizo is delicate yet robust in flavour. And then there's the venison perfectly cooked with each accoutrement lending flavour yet allowing the star protein to shine through. the front of house caters to your every need. Cocktails are equally as thoughtful and impeccably executed. The wine list is fantastic. Incredible wines by the glass normally only offered by the bottle a great pairing experience. Can't wait to go back!

We have an amazing meal that everything is absolutely delicious! Each course is very delicate, desert is a must to try!

Fantastic new restaurant on St Clair. I went for my birthday dinner here, and the food was stupendous! Our server brought a lovely amuse-bouche, a goat-cheese croquette with sorrel, over which was poured a heavenly sunchoke cream. Fantastic taste and presentation. Had the warm asparagus salad to start with a dry Riesling, terrific pairing (and I'm glad the server suggested it, as I typically shy away from Riesling). Followed up with veal tenderloin with crispy sweetbreads and stuffed artichoke - so many beautiful flavours and textures! - and a glass of sparkling red, which I was excited to see, since it is a relatively rare find. My son ordered the fettucine puttanesca with seared tuna, and cleared his plate despite being a picky eater. For dessert, the goat cheesecake with rhubarb in port, so lovely, and a dark chocolate truffle. Everything I could have hoped for on my birthday. A beautiful setting for a beautiful meal.

If you are in Toronto for a visit you can't miss out on eating here!! This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Toronto! It is an experience. The staff is remarkable from the moment you walk in to the time you leave you are treated amazing. The chef here is wonderful at his craft. The food you will eat will make your palate dance! I only wish I lived closer as I would come here all the time!

I heard all great things about FK, so I was really excited ...then...EHH..A bit overrated...according to the website, they changed their menu often due to market availability, that night I ordered pasta with Puttanesca sauce and tuna on top, the pasta was cooked perfectly however , what's missing ? the taste. The sauce was bland, the tuna was overcooked ( 3 little squares ) and the portion is way too small. Appetizers were good, my friend ordered the steak, she liked it. Maybe just a bad night ? not too sure, after hearing great things and having been living in Italy for 10 years, I was expecting a better pasta dish than this FK ? A - OK :)

Overall experience is wonderful !! it's hard to find a fine dining restaurant that is not overpriced and it's hard to find a place for a lactose-intolerance like me to enjoy French food lol. the chef and servers are amazing...they can make every thing possible and enjoyable. Even for a picky eater like me feel amazed by the strawberry sorbet dessert. From the presentation to the food, I'm just so satisfied. And it's the first time I don't feel wasted for what I'm paying for lol

This place may be off the beaten path for visitors, but we found it on yelp and went with the reviews. The reviews are spot on... It is a fantastic restaurant. Much love and care and attention goes into every detail.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and boy did we find a gem on st.clair!!! Ex client service/ food and loved the atmosphere!! The dishes are so perfect and did I say there's truffle on almost everything! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who love French food and great atmosphere!

Honestly I was so excited to visit this local gem. WhIle the food was very tasty and unique, the service and attitude were not worth the visit. The server was not sure what kind of fish was being served-there are 7 entrees on the menu! When one of the members of the party asked for a vegetarian option the server told her she had to call in advance. When she informed the server that the website said vegetarian options available she was told by the server that the manager insists she needs to call in advance. This is not customer service. Finally she was served a delicious vegetarian meal but it was given with a side dish of attitude. When I walked by and made a little joke to the manager she didn't even acknowledge me. FK Get it together and take a little time out of your day to be more pleasant.

FK is absolutely fantastic, the food and the service are the best in the city. My husband and I have been celebrating all of our occasions at chef Frank's restaurants and we will never go anywhere else. Thank you for giving us the best meals of our lives every single time we come (which is often!)

FK is not just about food, it's the European breeze you feel when sitting in the beautiful cozy restaurant, sipping good wine served by attentive servers, ready to give you the best experience ever. Of course the incredibly balanced tuna tartare with coconut lime vinaigrette and the unique scallop gremolata dish, perfectly executed and plated, are a dream for the palate and help you getting the impression to be in a French five stars restaurant. FK is the best expression not just of French food itself, but of the European way to enjoy it, in a romantic ambiance, taking your time to fully experience it. Outstanding!

Second attempt at this place,and I know it looks like they trying really hard, but honesty the food is nothing special ... your bill on the other hand will be "salty "as French people say! Service is ...meh! Their name come probably from that Oh F_ _ K look at the bill!
