The Rooftop

the food is not too expensive for the vibe and atmosphere. do request for seats with view, that is the main selling factor! food was okay, nothing special. definitely prefer the appetizers over the mains. service was minimal but they are friendly atmosphere was very loud, could barely hear my friends, but it is part of the vibe if you are looking for somewhere bustling :)

Today i visited The Rooftop in Broadview hotel. My friend and i had really fantastic time. Our food was so delicious. Their service was also top notch. Although restaurant was quite busy on Friday night yet our server did amazing job. Loved this place. Definitely coming back in summer again.

Often times, hotel food can be middling in order to appeal to the widest possible audience, which of course makes sense for a hotel. But the food at the rooftop of the Broadview Hotel was excellent! My group devoured a bunch of the menu items: Fried calamari Tuna Tataki Scallop ceviche Popcorn chicken Steak skewers Nachos BBQ chicken flatbread And we washed it all down with both lime and mango margaritas. Everything was superb. My favorites were the nachos (made with what seemed to be deep fried pita chips) and the popcorn chicken. The vibe was great too. A DJ was spinning in the corner. The vibe was lovely but you could still hear each other speak from across the table. And the staff was friendly and attentive. I’d go back. And for anyone in Toronto who thinks it’s “all the way in the east end” it’s only about 10 mins in an uber from the financial district. And the view of the city skyline from the glass enclosed jewel box of a rooftop room is worth heading east.

Loved my visit to The Rooftop at the Broadview Hotel! The view is absolutely stunning, and the whole space has such a great aesthetic, stylish but still relaxed. Service was friendly and surprisingly quick for how busy it was. Bonus points for having my favourite Beau’s Juiced AF IPA on tap! A perfect spot for drinks, good food, and an even better view.

Went to the rooftop for a team dinner. First time dining there. Our group had many compliments about the view. We sat around 7:30pm in July so there was a lot of sunset to look at. Menu was diverse and lots of selection. One person in our group was vegetarian and had plenty of choices. Drink menu was good as well. We all enjoyed the evening.

Loved the rooftop outdoor views! We had the best seat up there so that definitely contributed to our great experience. We ordered charcuterie board which wasn’t all the impressive, cauliflower, market salad and steak skewers. We thought they were all good and definitely would order cauliflower and steak skewers again! I had a mango mule alcohol free cocktail which was great.

Loved coming here. The view from the outside patio was perfect for a summers day. Enjoyed the drinks and had a few of the flatbreads which were delicious. Would come back here anytime!

One of the better rooftop patios that I’ve visited! The ambiance was nice, but at the time of our visit, they played the music very loud, it’s a hit or miss depending on where you were seated, but overall the view was nice, and the seating was cozy, like you were on a rooftop patio! The servers were really kind, and fun to talk to, and even when requesting to move seats, they were very accomodating. The food was very good, it took a but longer than expected to come out, but when it arrived, it tasted great. Had truffle fries and their pizza, would definitely recommend!

The indoor dining is aesthetic with the panoramic views and a large skylight. We were seated at the outdoor patio high top seats facing the east side of Broadview Ave (vs the west side). The view was okay, feels a little narrow but it was peaceful during dinner time, as we did not hear much music. A small area of the patio has overhead heaters and a canopy (try to grab these spots on chilly and rainy weather). We mainly ordered apps. The food was just as we expected as bar food and the food arrived quick. The Fried Cauliflower was tasty, altho oily. Food menu was limited and their drinks are on the pricier side. The service was fine and overall this is a nice place for catch ups and dates. From what I read from other reviews seems that this could be a hit or miss experience, depending on quality of food and service, so keep that in mind. Note: given less than 1 day notice in advance, there's a $10 per person cancellation fee booked from OpenTable.

20% automatic gratuity charge for 8+ patrons?!!! When five of those eight are small kids? Nonsense. Hostess was rude and officious. Wait staff did you a favor. The manager condescended to wave the 20% (two separate reservations just met up by chance). As for the food...it's amazing. Braised beef. Baby ribs. Cucumber. Really great stuff. Worth the other hassles.

Tldr: view was 7/10. Food was 5/10. Price was 3/10. Service was 1/10. We thought you would be able to see the CN tower and downtown toronto way more as we brought guests from the States over but its still hidden behind other buildings. This still didnt ruin our overall experience as we were just excited to have a place with so much natural light. We ordered appetizers to start and got the fries (tasted great and huge portion, had ramen seasoning and served with kewpie mayo) beef dumplings (also great, a little overpriced, sauce to pair was good) and sweet potato fries (small portion, pretty standard, nothing different from your average Swiss Chalet, but overpriced). We tried calling back to server but not once did she nor any other server look at us even after waving our hand for 10 minutes. Mind you, yes the patio area was busy (on a friday afternoon) but there were still about 7 tables seated in the inside area. We ended up having to call a different server after finally audibly raising our voice which gladly served us. We didnt see our original server come to our table for the rest of the night, though she served other tables around us still- didnt even pay attention to us. Then we ordered the chimichurri chicken wings, and two sets of fish tacos. Wings: dry. Tacos: overpriced. We were sharing all of our food and the prices were not friendly to this at all. What we were able to get was mindful of the sharing portions, but their menu has such limited options to begin with. At the end of the meal we wanted to split the bill to accommodate for our large group of 5- the young server (a new one because we couldnt find any of the two from before) gave us attitude and said "I wouldnt know how to split the food" but very rudely. Is that not her job to ask us? We took the bill home under one card and split it up at home. Terrible experience, definitely would not come back. The second star is only there because we did at least get a lot of natural light and had some semi decent food.

Went here during brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Price Range: Roughly $15-$35 per person Items Ordered: - Braised Pork Belly Bao - Fried Cauliflower - Ginger Mule Food Quality (Menu/Taste/ Portion Size) - 1/5 I was incredibly disappointed by the food. I've heard a lot about this place as a brunch/lunch spot and was expecting more. Everything was okay but not much blew our minds. They tried to do more unique dishes like baos but missed the mark. Their cauliflower dish was their best, and good to share. The value isn't great for the quality you get and the portions are small. They have a wide selection of drinks and I feel like that's the play here if you want to come here for the view. Atmosphere - 5/5 This is the thing to come for. The view is really nice, and it's fun to be on a rooftop patio looking out on the city. Certain areas are covered if you wanted some shade. The vibe is amazing. Service - 3.5/5 The staff is very friendly but the time i went, it was hard to get them to come to our table, not sure if they were understaff. They are really friendly when it comes to choosing seats and good at explaining menu items. Would I go here again? Probably not unless my friends really wanted to go. The view is great but doesn't make up for the food. Might be good for afternoon drinks. Lash's Recommendation - Any of the drinks

We finally made it to The Rooftop! I'll start off by saying that it was a really nice summer evening so I was expecting there to be a long wait list to get a seat on the outside patio but was pleasantly surprised that the wait turned out to be around 30 mins. Inside was nicely decorated but the patio didn't have the greatest view and a lot more narrow looking than I thought. The service was average. While waiting for a table to become available on the patio I had a mojito at the bar. When our table was finally ready, I went outside to the patio but was greeted 5 mins later with the bartender saying I needed to pay for the mojito right then and there even though I asked him to just put in on my bill with the rest of the drinks/food I was going to order. I guess he really wanted his tip so he said they couldn't do that and I had to pay up front. I was trying to avoid swiping my card more than once unnecessarily so I didn't like that. The menu is VERY LIMITED so there really isn't much to choose from. We ended up ordering the sliders which were really good. We didn't order anything else because everything was really overpriced and I just couldn't justify in my head paying $20 for another basic mojito. I think we probably stayed there for about an hour and then left because we were so hungry and didn't feel like paying an arm and a leg for basic appetizers. If you're menu is going to be overpriced, service better be top notch which it wasn't. I don't think I'd come back here.

They charged me $26 for a martini. It wasn't on the menu where all other cocktails listed at $18-20. Like, you're not the Four Seasons, calm down. Scammy

I was not expecting good food from this place, though they surprised me. Russian dumplings and the duck were amazing. they're busy but the atmosphere is sophisticated. the view is okay, not mind blowing but different from your typical view of "Toronto" you get in downtown. alcohol was good, tasted well and priced reasonably well. it's a cute place to catch up with your friends and enjoy some well-made food
