The Good Son in North York

A cozy atmosphere with beautiful Christmas lighting and a great vibe. Based on Amir s recommendation:, the restaurant manager, we ordered good son steak, which turned out to be the best steak I ve ever had. Amir was very hospitable and had extensive knowledge about the wines, bringing us the perfect one. They also have great discounts on Sunday nights. Definitely recommended.

The food is always amazing and the server, Amber, was super friendly and welcoming. Im definitely coming back again with my girl.

Great time at The Good Son today for brunch. Food was delicious and we had exemplary service from Sean and everyone else we interacted were amazing. Will definitely visit again.

Pizza was great

UPDATE: We came back to Good Son after a previous amazing experience, and I m thrilled to say it s just as spectacular as before if not better! This time, we enjoyed the short ribs and the spicy rosé rigatoni, and both dishes were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, showcasing the same incredible quality we ve come to expect from this place. As usual, the service was top-notch. Josh was attentive and friendly, and Jo, the manager, went above and beyond as per usual to ensure everything was perfect. To top it all off, the drinks were divine crafted with care and full of flavor. This restaurant continues to exceed our expectations, and we can t wait to return again soon! Highly recommend. ------------------------ Previous review; Absolutely delighted with my experience at Good Son! The culinary journey was nothing short of spectacular. From the heavenly burrata and Prosciutto board to the delightful calamari, steak tartare, spaghetti diavolo, and mushroom pappardelle every dish left me speechless. Impeccable service, thanks to the wonderful manager, Jo. Cant find a single flaw well definitely be back for more! Highly recommend this gem.

Limited menu, great service, nice atmosphere. Pizza was way paper thin where the toppings were and puffed out at the edges. Toppings were good, but you couldnt pick it up, I dont recommend the pizza.

Incredible food, exceptional service, a beautiful atmosphere what more could you ask for?! We enjoyed a family style holiday meal and each and every one of us walked away delightfully satiated! Standouts include the spicy Brussels sprouts, mushroom pasta and soppresatta/olive pizza, but everything was amazing!! They were also VERY accommodating regarding some our party s food restrictions. All in all a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

Great compared to other shops at Don Mills options, but still not an experience . - the appetizers we got were great - especially the spicy Brussels sprouts - the mushroom tagliatelle I got was nothing special. It was busy - almost full with some reserved tables - at 6 PM on Saturday. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian pizzas, two veggie pastas, several veggie apps.

We usually love the Good Son. We were surprised and disappointed with our visit yesterday. We had been raving to family members about how wonderful The Good Son is and took them along with us yesterday and they were not impressed. Our server was very polite but didn t write anything down and got our order wrong. Then to get her to correct her mistakes took some time. On the bill she charged us incorrectly and when we brought it to her attention she apologized and went to correct it. When she came back, the bill was wrong again. The pizzas were tasty but the shocker was the pastas we ordered. Half the size portion than what we have ordered and received in the past. Usually we have left over pasta to take home and enjoy the next day for lunch. Not this time. Small portions for large prices. Not impressed.

5 out of 5 Amir our server was great and helpful Food

Pretty good Italian food at Don Mills. Cute vibes with the decorations and nice service.

Short rib and kimchi rice is delish!

Giving 4 stars because its grossly overpriced for decent food.

The food is consistently great, and the service is always attentive and friendly! The atmosphere here is also great, whether you re here for a date night or with a larger group. The only negative I found is that for some of the dishes the portions are small given the price. Still a great place to visit for quality food and friendly service!

This place is a joke i ordered a margarita from Uber eats and the nerve on this place because it was close to closing they didn t even cook the pizza the cheese isn sliced and not even cooked they added sliced cheese on top of cooked pizza dough. You guys are a JOKE

Ordered a pizza (Carnivora) and salad (peach salad). Both very delicious, however, really wished it took less than 30 mins to arrive at our table. The restaurant didn t seem busy and the people beside us who arrived after us still got our meals before us, with no explanation of the delay along the way.

The food was great, but the service was so annoying. We had three different servers ask us how our food was multiple times. We couldn t even talk to each other because we were constantly interrupted. Attentiveness is one thing, but annoying is another. Would only come back for the food if I was going with people, I didn t care to talk to.

Came on a bustling Sunday and was pleasantly surprised! I cant believe Ive never been here after so many years of visiting the shops at don mills! I even had the pleasure of meeting JO the GM who was extremely hospitable and took me on a tour of their very extensive wine list. She suggested I get the bulgogi, vodka pasta with shrimp and sourdough, and wow was she right! It was the best meel ever and had me salivating from the first bite to the last. I definitely will be back! Also shout out to the very polite host at the front who seemed to be running a tight ship, he was handling all the guests like a pro!

Was having a tough day, went here for dinner and was served by Amber. She made my night so much better, she was friendly and engaging. I couldnt have asked for a better experience!

This is one of my favourite restaurants. I ve had consistently good experiences at both locations. Can t beat Pizza Wednesdays!

Very good service without overdoing it. Had the burger for $26. I wouldnt say it was a killer burger. Never in my life I thought Id be paying for a 30 buck burger in Toronto but here we are in 2024. Despite the above, the place has a nice atmosphere and I would return. Parking: Typical Shopdls of Don Mills parking situation

Sam on the bar is the best;)

This was one of the best dining experiences for me. It s a cozy beautifully designed space and even better than that is the hospitality experience. I went out for a very special birthday celebration yesterday and the only way it came through was a bunch thanks to my server Paige. I appreciate how much effort she put into everything. Thank you. Coming back soon.

Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the food and the drinks and the atmosphere

Love this place! The atmosphere, the drinks and especially the food are top tier. The bartender remembered us only at our second time there. Months later we started going there as a family and they always have amazing customer service. The thing that impresses me the most is their consistency with all things. The only shortcoming here is their hours sometimes are kinda on the short side.

So far my favourite place to get brunch the service is just amazing love this place.

Good pasta and pizza. Tiramisu was sour for some odd reasons. Coffee was not that great. Will definitely come back for the past and pizza, but definitely no dessert and coffee. Food

This place never disappoints! The food, drinks and service are all amazing, it s a perfect place for small gatherings or just dates!

I had a perfect experience at The Good Son. The drinks were spot on, and the lunch was absolutely delicious. The food was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the overall atmosphere warm and inviting. Whether you re looking for a cozy spot for lunch or a place to enjoy great drinks, The Good Son has it all.

Came here last year and it was about a 3/5. Came here today to give it another shot, and it s a 0/5 - 1. Our pizza was RAW and soggy. So undercooked, I literally slapped the crust on the counter and it bounced! The mozzarella on top was cold and fell off the pizza as a whole. 2. Our calamari came in squares almost like fish sticks and we later realized it had Asian seasoning that s not Italian lol. It wasn t even crispy to make up for it. Just so Soggy. - Overall for $50, I expect at least average food without indigestion. This was just terrible. People who rate this place 5 stars have 0 idea on quality food.

Great customer service food was excellent and fresh.

Our table of three decided to start with the pear salad and share three mains: Mauna Loa pizza, Bulgogi Short Ribs and the Mushroom Tagliatelle. Food portions were perfect but the food itself was only good, not great. Would recommend as a good patio option if youre in the area but wouldnt go out of my way to eat here again.

It s been a while since we tasted good quality and seasoned food until we came here. The atmosphere was really cozy and chill. We received an exceptional service from Amir who was taking care of us throughout the night.

pizza was insanely good. especially the carnivora. also got the tartare and that was good as well. decor was incredible and service was impeccable. we went on wednesday night so pizza was really affordable but even at full price its good value in my opinion. super busy though so try to get a reservation.

Excellent food. Delicious. High quality food. Nice environment.

We went in the evening for dinner. The restaurant is small, there are seats on the street, which is what we chose in the end))) We ordered two pizzas, one appetizer, fries and five drinks for 101 dollars. The service was fast, the pizza was very tasty, I liked everything.

The pizzas are killer.

Pizzas are pretty good. Service was good, and atmosphere was good.

This kitchen consistently delivers good Italian food. All the pizzas and the pastas I have tried have been delicious. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan dishes available

First impressions count. When you walk through the door the decor and ambiance is impressive. Not a big restaurant, more intimate. Not a big menu but something for everyone. We ll be back!

Delicious food and all special made. Thanks Amir as well.

Waited for 45 minutes for a pizza! The food was below average. After chewing the Prosciutto for a couple of minutes had to spit it because i was not able to swallow it.

Fantastic pizza. Really next level

Excellent service from Amir (hope I spelt it right). Pizzas here are delicious! Risotto was okay, definitely not worth $42. Other dishes we got were all very forgettable. I would just stick to the pizzas next time we come. Their walk in deal for $12 margarita pizza is awesome.

Last night we went to The Good Son restaurant located in Don mill. The atmosphere was good. I ordered pasta. The taste was bland and my friend ate hamburger like a hamburger that is served in franchises. In general the taste of foods werent special.

Thanks Micheal

Came here for the Wednesday $14 Pizza Promotion and the pizza was fantastic. We got the Mauna Loa and Carnivora and both were delicious. Wish the restaurant was more upfront about the requirements to for the pizza promotion since we were under the impression we had to order an alcoholic beverage (which starts at $8 for a bottle of beer) but turns out could have ordered boxed juice instead.

I went there to meet an old friend and have dinner. The staff are very professional and friendly. I experienced a very good atmosphere and delicious food. The number of parking spaces is very limited and it may take you a lot of time.

This was an amazing place with great service from our server Amir. He is the best, polite and friendly, will come back for sure. Food

Very beautiful environment and amazing service with our lovely server Amin, thanks

Dined at good son Restaurant in Shops at Don Mills and was blown away! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect. A special shoutout to our waiter, Amir, who provided top-notch service friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this spot

Everything was just PERFECT! Our host, AMIR, was amazing. Very genuine person, and a great attitude. Definitely recommend this place. Food : 5/5

Food was not bad, but the dishes very small for the price. The service was terrible. Would not return nor recommend. Food : 4/5

Delicious meals, excellent service especially our waiter Amir, a very nice and helpful guy. I will return definitely.

Positives: staff were all very friendly, even on a busy Saturday night. Cons: tuna crudo was not good at all, the fish was a bad cut and just bland, they had also torched it which Ive never had torched crudo before. I had to drench each piece in the sauce and even then it wasnt good. Also the washrooms were cramped and toilet flusher was on the side (I had to bend over the bowl??)

Loved this place. Came with a group of girls, the food was fabulous!

I loved the food was delicious and the service was more than amazing making the restaurant a must to visit when you go to Don mills

Foods always amazing here :)

Loved the pizza and pasta here! Very loud in there so expect to not hear each other and have to yell when speaking haha.

This is our favorite restaurant in Toronto. The food and cocktails are always phenomenal. Amir is amazing host as well. Food : 5/5

Superb dining experience. Our server Amir was very helpful and friendly.

Food was good, my server Amir was very polite and gave us a very good service.

I think this is all that needs to be said

Good restaurant! Great pizza!

Decent food but the restaurant is extremely loud when its a little busy due to its layout. You sort of have to shout at your own table to hear who youre dining with, thats never fun. Its also weirdly dark inside, not so much in a romantic way, more in an off putting fashion.

For the first time I went to eataly don mills, I tried the pizza there and they all taste very much like a normal fast food pizza place, until I went to Good Son and it was truly amazing . I tried the Manua Loa pizza and it was a burst of flavors and such a rich taste. I saw somewhere on an article that you had to try the pizza at the good son before you die, After my expeirence, it exceeded my expectations on a proper dine in expeirence.

hands down THE best food I ve ever had at shops at don mills. Amazing service & the staff are really nice! Would definitely go back again.

Popped in for a pint and our bartender Micheal was 5 starts from the start. Prompt service and was amazing overall. Drinks were awesome and service was even better! We will be back :)

Good experience.

Good food paired with good atmosphere. We walked in for dinner and the place is crowded. Got a table in the middle, space is a little tight but food is amazing. Our server is polite and friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the neighbourhood.

We had pizza tonight! Truly disappointing and here s why. Thick crust almost burnt so it needs to leave the wood oven but the centre is raw. I would recommend getting away with this thick crust and allowing the pizza to be cooked throughout to a fine crisp instead of raw dough. We love the place but their pizza chef doesn t know how to use the oven

Came for dinner. My mushroom tagliatelle pasta dish was awesome! Pasta cooked perfectly and the flavour and aroma from the mushroom and truffle oil was amazing!!! My friends had pizzas and they loved it!!!

5 of us went to the Good Son July 7th to celebrate my sons 36th birthday. We were seated in a cozy booth and the service was very friendly and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the olives and Caesar salad we all shared as appetizers were great. Sunday is 1/2 price for a bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise!!The decor was eclectic and intriguing. It is a spacious setting but it wasnt noisy. It had a cozy feel. We had a great evening !!Highly recommend The Good Son!!

I love this restaurant! My favourite is spicy Brussel sprouts as appetizer and their pizza. Cocktails are tasty and good ambience

One of my favourite restaurants to eat at. The booking process often goes through very smoothly and the service is amazing every time I go there. In addition, the workers always seem to know their foods well and are exceptionally educated on different dishes! Each time I go for a new dish, they always seem to amaze me. Would recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and amazing service.

Good food but overpriced.

Such an aesthetic place with delicious food and their pizza is superb! Lovely service as well!

Nice food, good taste, friendly people... Slow Service ....NO SUBSTITUTIONS... THEY SERVE EGGS WITH PICKLED ONIONS AND PIZZA WITH CARMELIZED ONIONS... YOU CAN HAVE NO ONIONS BUT CANT GET SOMETHING THEY USE ON THEIR PIZZA, ON YOUR EGGS... SMH!!! ;( would have given them a 4* if they were more accomodating

Worst restaurant at this price point Ive been to in years. 1 person returned their meal. And they couldnt wait to enforce to 2 hour seating rule. Will never go back.

It has the best atmosphere and great experience with the services, and there is Sean. Sean is the best server we have had. It would be best if you tried this place.

Fantastic food (the best pizza!) and very friendly staff

How has Good Son not gone viral?? By far the best and most consistent pizza made in the city! It s traditional pizza and the owner brings product directly from Italy so it s super light. The service is 10/10, especially Josh. Never disappoints.

One of the best low-key spots in the city. The food is amazing, the staff are incredibly authentic and the atmosphere is addictive. I highly recommend! Also, when you re here tell Josh, Matt says Hi!

The taste of the food is really good and the atmosphere is very nice. My family had a very enjoyable dinner there on Father s Day. Highly recommended.

Loved the pizza !!! It was a great day for outdoor patio and the experience was pleasant :)

I called to make a reservation only bc we have 5 ppl and the website wont let me book online. I called 3 times until they finally decide to pick up my call, and then the lady who answered the phone made me HOLD for 10 minutes, i dont understand what kind of service they are providing, an amazing experience

Booked my birthday party here, and their incredible service almost ruined my day. I mentioned about it s a birthday party during the reservation call, but they didn t told me anything about the plate fee for if I bring my own cake to the restaurant. I had an ice cream cake, and I also told them to put it in the freezer otherwise it will melt. When we finished the food and asked them to bring up the cake, they finally said the plate fee per person thing, which really shocked me. So we decided to take the cake and leave.However, when I got my cake from the waitress, it s already started melting. Also during the dining, NO ONE taking care about our table, we were sitting in a booth-like place and it s hard to call the waiters to stop and ask for something. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS

Food is amazing but I do have an issue as to why there are no gluten free pasta and pizza in the Don Mills menu .I know the Queen location has gluten free pasta but in this day and age with so many food sensitivities and allergies they should be readily available at all Good Son locations!!

Friendly staff and good food. It was a great dining experience.

My wife and In love The Good Son at Shops at Don Mills. We have been frequenting this location for 5 years now and the staff haven t missed a beat. Service is impeccable, from the hostess to the servers and general manager, everyone provides great conversation and treats us with a smile. The menu options are great and they introduce new items from time to time which keeps the menu fresh. The cooks execute each dish with consistency.

Great Brunch!! Eggs benedict were amazing! I will definitely return to try more dishes

Always one of my fav place to chat/chill and have a pizza. Some food on the menu do rotate, but the pizzas are pretty stables on the menu.

Terrible Take-out experience at North York location; they dont have parking spots in a very busy plaza, I stopped for 1 min. to ask the hostess if somebody could just bring my order at the front but I was ignored; after parking, 20 min later I was back; the same hostess prioritized sitting for 4 groups, although 3 of them came after me; then finally I was told that they did not start my order yet, although the status showed complete 40 min earlier; to get a refund she had to leave for some time, so more wait for me.... In the end... No pizza, just the worst service

Nice service and decour. Burger and pizza were good but not great. 4 dollar pop cans and 5 dollar americano. Having said all that, I would return to try other menu items. Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom on main floor

Such great customer service as the restaurant had to cancel the booking initially due to a private event then reached out apologize that the event was cancelled and if we would like to rebook the appointment. They offered two appetizers on the house for the inconvenience. The food was very good as usual. The steak tartar was delicious and so was the pizza. It s slightly thicker than the dough I personally enjoy but the taste was on point. I went for the one with prosciutto and artichokes. IG: mansafx

10/10 great dining experience here at the Good Son. The pizzas were incredible ! We really enjoyed our evening here and will be back

I booked a reservation to take my best friend out for her birthday. The service was good and the food was tasty. We really enjoyed the vibes of the restaurant as well. However, they definitely fell short with providing us with a memorable experience. I specified in the booking that we were celebrating a birthday, and I even messaged the restaurant asking if they do anything for birthdays, which they said they did a complimentary ice cream with a candle. I requested for one to come out after we finished our meal. Because it was going to be a surprise for my friend, they said they would let our server know when we dine in. Either the server was never told about this, or he forgot. I was really disappointed that the request was never delivered. Other than that, the overall experience was good and I would still come back here.

Exceptional service, great vibes and the best food. Love the ribs, the steak, the kale salad and pasta. Manager (Andy I believe ) is exceptional - truly understands high quality service.

Dropped in and we had a Wagu Burger and Natalea Pizza. Good portions and food. Menu not so exciting. Some seating looked comfortable - ours was not so much. Server nice, newer, room for growth.

Great spot for wood fired pizza with weekend brunch options as well. Staff was polite and patient with kids around. Free parking in the area and patio option as well, with a portion of the patio being under shade.

The Good Son at Shops has amazing atmosphere and beautiful design. My partner and I shared the pizza specual of the day and it was amazing. The food and service was outstanding.

I ve had dinner with my daughter there numerous times and this restaurant never disappoints. Definitely recommend this as a go to spot to take your family out for a nice lunch, dinner or just want to grab some food to eat. The atmosphere is amazing, very cozy and nostalgic.

The place was fully booked so we had to sit on patio, which was not quite a good experience. The food was good but a little pricy. The waiter was nice but forgot our pizza. They were too busy.

Sep2021: A very positive first impression: excellent pizza (had the Prosciutto with Arugula and Sundried Tomatoes, generous portions), friendly and efficient staff, and a nice roomy, shaded patio. Great spot for a relaxing dining experience.

After eating here only twice before, we chose this for celebrating my wifes birthday with a small group of family and friends. It was well-seen-to by the staff and management. Everyone raved over the appetizers, especially the calamari and the brussels. We opted for a variety of pizzas for the mains and they were equally as amazing. Some of the guests had not been there before but they definitely intend on returning. I really cant praise this place highly enough. Kudos to Jo and Michael (managers) who helped us a great deal and for their attention to details and to our enjoyment of the event.

Delicious food, great service! They have a deal $14 pizza if you buy a beverage on certain days. The decor inside is vintage and very nice!! (Ive tried the wood oven pizza and rosemary ham croissant-definitely a loaded croissant, eggs brunch, pitcher of sangria with rose wine). Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza Parking: Free parking at Shops at Don Mills (parking lot and a garage)

This is an incredibly beautiful place imbued with Italian culture, everything is very aesthetically pleasing and luxurious, a romantic atmosphere, subdued beautiful light, an excellent bar with a huge selection of drinks, absolutely all the staff were attentive and courteous, despite the fact that a waiter is assigned to each table and gives you service and other waiters too, my glass of water was always filled and the dishes were cleared on time, also the staff was very friendly and unobtrusive. The food is simply incomparable, the pizza is something fantastic, and the pana cotta dessert with mint petals was something, I was also very pleased with the prices for such a luxurious establishment. I have definitely found my favorite restaurant that I will return to again and again, there are always a lot of people there and it is difficult to get in, which indicates the demand for this place. I was there a few days ago, but Im still impressed. I highly recommend this antique and romantic place.

Was very good! Cocktails are amazing! And food is delicious!

This place exemplifies a rare (for Toronto) constellation of excellent ambiance, amazing food, and attentive, yet not invasive, service. Top notch! Take your girl there :)

My first impression of this place? Eclectic, yet uniquely inviting. We were lucky enough to arrive during a lull in service, so we were able to eat in relative peace and quiet. The food is fresh and well prepared, albeit a little too pricey, in my own personal opinion. Overall, a decent establishment, but honestly, now that Ive checked it out, I dont know if Im raring to go back anytime soon. Except for the tiramisu; that was an outstanding dessert, and not just because of the cute little design on it!

slow

The food was absolutely amazing; especially the tiramisu! My friend and I got the margarita pizza to share and I got the braised gnocchi for myself. I m a huge fan of wood oven pizzas, so I knew I had to order one no matter what- the crust was so fluffy and soft! I would definitely come back! The decor and atmosphere made it such a cozy experience too!

This is our second visit. The atmosphere has always been great and the service as well. Really awesome for date nights. They have a couple of spots where people can be separated from the dining area and have an intimate space. The inside is small but when summer comes, their patio opens up which is really nice. Drinks and food are really good as well. Pricey but worth it.

Our #1 favourite restaurant. Amazing staff and food.

Nothing special. I ordered brisket Gnocci, and it was awful.

The food was okay but, service was really bad. I had eye contact with many servers but no one came to my table and we had wait for long. They didnt even give us water. When I ordered food, I had to order water at that time. Also, I asked about hot sauce then server never came back. We had to call another server to get hot sauce. I really did not want pay for tips for them today. Anyway I paid tips.

Great service, delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. What more could you ask for? 10/10 recommend The Good Son. Last time I came by we ordered the prosciutto pizza and side salad. Both were packed with flavour and something Id reorder on my next visit. Highly recommend!!

We came here for brunch. It has a lot of character even in being a more suburban (but upper class) plaza. Loved all the clocks and cool decor. The service was excellent. We were served promptly. The shrimp tostada was pleasantly surprising for brunch. Big generous amount of shrimps. The pizza was fresh and tasty of course. The carrot cake slice was larger than expected! At least worth the $13. I d highly recommend.

Lunch was excellent, brussel sprouts app incredible. Their pizza game is on point. Service attentive but could have been a bit faster during a few moments.

Ive been frequenting this place in Shops at Don Mills almost weekly for the past 6 months. Why do I keep coming back? Theres a few reasons. Amazing menu. Incredibly great food. Very cool environment. The ambiance is both friendly, fun and sophisticated without attempting to be ostentatious. Mostly though...its the people. You go there once...you go back the second time & you are treated like family. This kind of service in todays world is rare. Want that experience. Check out Good Son at The Shops at Don Mills. Do it once and youll love it. Do it twice your engaged. Try 3 times your married. Very few restaurants have the whole package nailed. Good Son absolutely does.

This just became one of my favorites for brunch. Even the caffe Americano is on point Whenever my partner and I eat out, we don t care much about the cost unless we re really not satisfied with the food. Here, the food was awesome, the ambience is spectacular.

My first visit to the restaurant at this location (Ive been to the one on Queen). Same vibe (great atmosphere) same quality and attentive and very fast service, would definitely recommend for a dinner out.

Had the jerk shrimp, calamari and braised beef brisket! Food was amazing, great service and atmosphere! Definately eating here again soon! Food : 5/5

Ive been a regular at this place for a few months. Pop in a couple times a week. Im a software as a service developer and I loved the place so much I asked them if we could hold a 3 persons founders summit at the restaurant. Only 3 people but we needed a private space. They not only provided that private space but the service, attention and patience (because we occupied that private space for 3 hours) was impeccable. We got a lot of stuff done. The food was fantastic. The service was out of this world. So...if you want to meet with business partners, clients, prospects consider Good Son at Shops on Don Mills. You will not be disappointed! Love this place for both pleasure and business. Go there!

Came here with my friend to try their brunch menu. Initial impressions: Service: Very prompt, we were seated very quickly, service staff pointed us in the directions of the washrooms before we were seated since they were made aware of the fact that this was our first time dining here beforehand, which was nice. We had our orders taken quickly and Recieved them equally as quickly in spite of the restaraunt being busier than usual at this time. Atmosphere: For a Sunday brunch, you cant go wrong. The atmosphere is very warm and relaxing and especially compliments the winter weather as everything looks very old fashioned, rustic and traditional. Its a great place to gather with friends, or to go on a date with your significant other if you so choose. Food: We ordered the Eggs Benedict with salmon, and their shrimp brunch menu item. The eggs benedict dish was very nicely cooked. The eggs were poached perfectly, and were very fluffy which complimented the sourdough bread and salmon option that I chose very nicely. The salad was slightly over seasoned with balsamic vinegar, but that can also be an acquired taste. The potato wedges were crispy, very well seasoned and delicious. No complaints there. The shrimp dish was presented very well. The tortilla shells were crispy and delicious, and did not get soggy in spite of the sauces on top. The ground beef was well balanced and seasoned and cooked very well. The shrimp on the other hand was a bit too overseasoned for my liking, and tasted quite a bit salty. Overall a very satisfactory brunch experience!

Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous interior decorating. We stopped by on the weekend and had delicious artisan pizzas for lunch! The cocktails were also very delicious and fun.

Great food at semi-decent prices; atmosphere and drinks are exceptional. One of the few restaraunts Ill go back to.

Definitely worth a shot!!! Love the vibe, dim lighting and beautiful decor. Quiet different and very relaxing. Meat lovers should definitely go there. Best steak that my husband ever tasted. My favorite was the dessert 10/10. Vegetarian options: Host is more than happy to help provide vegetarian options. Parking: There is a free parking lot available, but you have to walk a few steps. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

definitely one of my fav restaurant. love the interior. love the food and love the atmosphere. definitely recommend it

Not worth the money, below average service and plenty of empty tables however they don t fill them!!!

Celebrated my birthday and also attended for a private event. The food is great, the atmosphere fantastic. A great option for something special.

Great food, great service, great prices.

Faded this place for way too long. Great food! Great service! Be sure to try the brussel sprouts.

My favourite restaurant at the Shops on Don Mills; an easy go-to spot and a great crowd pleaser. Their pizzas are so good and a great size for leftovers! Also, the Brussels Sprouts; the Mushrooms and their Panna Cotta are consistently delicious!!!

Excellent service. Food and drinks came quickly and were delicious

A beautiful dining experience in the centre of Shops at Don Mills!

Huge disappointment! What saved the dinner: Jazz (the waitress), the atmosphere, the drink, and the coffee... thats all! I ordered calamari as an appetizer, which was super overcooked and hard to chew. I complained to Jazz, who quickly and kindly returned the calamari to the kitchen and brought me another one.... even worse than the first. They were truly hard to chew and swallow!! The manager (?) offered to bring another appetizer. Although his intention was good, I thought, If the cook cant make calamari, why is it on the menu? Well, lets see if I would have more luck with the main dish: short ribs. Nope! It was a very greasy dish. The fried rice was dry another huge disappointment. Next time (if there will be a next time), Ill stick with the pizza... its safer.

Finally got to try this place since it s usually pretty full. We got a spot at the bar, vibe was cozy. Food and drinks were great but 10/10 service from Josh made the night special

We went for the Winterlicious set dinner and everything was great. The calamari, bulgogi short rib and panna cotta was excellent. I enjoyed all 3 dishes. The service was excellent as staff were attentive and friendly. I had not heard of this restaurant before finding them on the Winterlicious restaurant list. We will definitely be back as we were really impressed.

We shared a pizza and the mushroom pasta dish. Very tasty. We had problems with getting our bill. We didnt really know who are server was, several different people serviced the table. When asked if we wanted anything more a No thanks answer usually is the prompt that your dining experience is complete. It took a long time to get someones attention and get the bill. Not sure if we were in that no mans land table that all restaurants seem to have. Just a but weird. But good food and will return

A place for refreshing and relaxing. I like the vibe and warm atmosphere. Food

Nice food, nice staffs and nice atmosphere! I loved the experience here Food

Big Thanks for Shawn for being so helpful and accommodating. We had an amazing time at The Good Son. Definitely recommend and we would come back again

Good overall experience! Would like to have had a side or two with the meal. Order them separately if you want something besides main items.

First time at The Good Son (Shops at Don Mills) last night. From the service at the reception until the end of the evening, I was impressed. The host was friendly, welcoming and just over-all adorable. Our server, Amber, was amazing...friendly, professional. I could have chatted with her all night! On to the food...my friend and I ordered pizza. I am a bit picky when it comes to crust and toppings. This pizza was beyond great. Top quality toppings, crust had a good chew. Michael, one of the staff, overheard we were celebrating our birthdays. He sent over 2 servings of ice cream (with candles) on the house. I left feeling delighted, special. Was such a nice night. Totally recommend.

Maybe we didn t pick the right one. The fry being cut too thin so it s very dry after frying and it s salty too. The pizza doesn t have enough filling and is too oily from the pork fat, once cooled down it s be quite unpleasant to eat. Overall quite disappointed.

The pasta was very average. The burger was decent size and the taste was ok. The service was really good and our waitress was very friendly. The vibe of the restaurant was very welcoming and the decor and design was very interesting. But sadly due to the taste of the food i will not come back at this restaurant.

Was there for a valentines lunch. Foods were delicious especially the Calamari and spaghetti

When I showed up, there was no one at the front so there were quite a few people waiting. Once that was sorted, I was brought to our table and the waiters were very quick with getting our orders and serving us in a timely manner. Our appetizer was very expensive for 4 small pieces that weren t filling and it was also very spicy, which I should have asked about before ordering. Aside from that, both our meals and my drink were good. Somewhat pricy but made sense for the location. Very nice setup.

The food is okay not bad but coffee is gross... You pay $7 for a lattee no better than Tims and no lattee art at all

My experience with the goodson is rather specific and may not reflect everybody elses. This review is simply to inform those who may want to dine in with large groups as to how the experience will be. I had gone with a group of 9, in which they served set meals at certain points. They were group plates in which anyone could decide to take their own food. The food at most parts was meh to pretty good. The salmon was quite delicious, I enjoyed the fries, and I thought that the brussel sprouts were quite nice. The cheese on the pizza that we were served seemed to constantly fall off the second you picked it up along with everything else. It tasted soggy for lack of a better word. The ribs were heavy, and the sauce was a bit overbearing. The food was decent and it had a nice environment as well as good service: 3/5

Some of the best Italian food I have had in Toronto for a very long time

The burger was delicious and the fries were nice & crisp, if too salty for me. Why 3 slightly different mayo dips instead of mustard & ketchup? Crowded and deafeningly LOUD! Wish Id left before ordering. >.0;

Overpriced pizzas! I spent $80 for 2 pizzas with no alcoholic drink! I definitely will not come back here!

Excellent pizza, great deals. Definitely one of the better pizza spots in the area. Highly recommended.

Answer your phone when people are trying to make a reservation! The girl at the desk told me to call a week in advance to reserve.

Everything here is at least $5 too expensive. Definitely not worth the price. Food is good not great but youre paying for great food prices.

It was our second time to diner here and we ve enjoyed both meals. This time, we had our early family holiday dinner. We reserved for 4:30pm and were very much surprised that they ve ran out of the burrata. We really would ve wanted to have that. We ordered some the Carnivora pizza and the Prosciutto pizza. I was slightly disappointed at the prosciutto pizza - it wasn t as tasty as I had hoped. We also had the tiramisu and the panna cotta for dessert and both dishes were exquisite. Service was okay. For the amount of people dining (which wasn t a lot at 4:30pm), it was quite hard to get their attention.

My friends and I visited this establishment to celebrate a collective win. Let me tell you, the food was so good, it practically gave my toes a standing ovation! The mushroom dish?! We had ordered that twice and once more for the hangover cure the next day. The cocktails tasted like a vacation for my taste buds. A big shoutout to Michael and his team for the A+ service, and to the kitchen staff for cooking such delicious dishes! I appreciate that one of the cooks came in to check on us. I can t wait to visit again on valentines because who needs a date when you ve got great food and awesome drinks, right?

Highly recommend. A casual dining restaurant with a fine dining experience. Enjoyed the food, and would try any of the eclectic menu items. Service is upscale and en pointe for an ordinary price.

Truly pathetic service

3.9/5. Food was ok, neither bad nor stellar.

Nice dishes but poor service. The time I visited was not under the busy moment but I poured water by myslef three times

I recently dined at The Good Son with a friend, and it was an exceptional experience! We visited on a Wednesday, when they have a fantastic deal: $14 pizzas. The pizza was undoubtedly the best Ive ever had - the flavors were extraordinary, and the ambiance of the restaurant added to the enjoyable experience.

First visit was okay, decided to go again last night. Undoubtedly the worst pizza Ive ever had and thats sad considering the oven theyve got. On top to charge 30 dollars for it goes to show this is nothing but another foo foo overpriced place to eat at. I asked for Chilli oil, and what came? Chilli flakes. For 2 dollars extra lol. Why people think this place is worth going to is beyond my understanding.

Sat at the bar. Amazing bar keep and great food.

One of my top stops for brunch/dinner

The burrata board is outstanding!

Exceptional service at this restaurant and the food was very nice.

The food delicious and atmosphere was cosy, we had a great time there!

My first visit. Ill be back. We had a basic pizza and the burger. It was great. 3 tables around us split a burger and shared a pizza. I could tell everyone was as happy as we were. They told us. Good service and great food. Good combination. A manager chatted with us and she was wonderful. Food

Would highly recommend this spot for a lovely brunch. The service was superb, the ambience and overall vibe is very warm and inviting, and the dishes we had for brunch (eggs Benedict and shrimp tostada) was super tasty. Specifically we loved the potato fries that came with the Eggs Benedict and of course the eggs were perfectly done. The shrimp tostada was super flavourful and would highly recommend this, it is loaded with fillings and had lots of shrimp. The Americano ($4) was on the small side.

Service & atmosphere was impeccable. The pizza and eggs were very good Ordered the shrimp tostada, felt it was a little too bland for me; even paired with their bomba sauce & chilli oil. Our server was absolutely amazing

I love this place The decoration is awesome and the vibe was so good Nice pizza and crafted beer Food : 5/5

So I wasnt going to write a review but you emailed me and aske sooooo ...my wife wanted to go here for her birthday so I agree of course so the first disappointment was the lack of menu that you need a flashlight to see, I dont mind a small menu if theres some unique dinner items on it but I quickly realize this is more or less a pizza place so we ordered an appetizer the prosciutto one it came.. really uneventful and basic... price point not so bad but really uneventful one good thing Id say the mixed drinks were excellent.....we couldnt decide on what to eat because of lack of choices so we ended up ordering a pizza, as stated by other reviews its a soupy mess you should at least be able to pick your pizza up and eat it (this is a knife and fork pizza) I do realize its not the easiest thing to do to cook an oven in a stone Pizza I used to do it however soupy uneventful mess then and I wasnt going to mention it but you asked there was the Cockroach climbing up the wall beside my wifes head yes!..good thing the waiter was close by reacted quickly and killed it with his Notepad nice move the dinner was comped of course, I wouldnt have minded paying for my drinks, I tipped the waiter we left. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone.

Customer service needs help
