The Upper Deck in Toronto

Nice place for date night, not really suitable for children as all the customers seem to be above 20+. Its hidden away from the rest of the park, I almost didnt know it existed until I Google the name. Excellent customer service, live music after 4pm, food was 4/10. I hope they could improve on the food selection because it was just ok for me. Lots of bathrooms available, Nice view, I would highly recommend. Oh! Price for 2 teenagers, 2 adults came up to $120, not too bad!

Delicious burgers and Poutine. Butter chicken served with rice; they can add the option of potatoes. Food

A hidden gem on the island. We were glad we found it.

Nice view of Toronto. Nice service.

Been going there for years. What has changed? Terrible, over-priced food. Ie. Small order Onion rings- $15.00 etc. (Compare that to the Keg at $10.00. Serving size has decreased significantly from prior years. Expensive drinks. Servers are fine but the manager should not be customer-facing. Will go there again (music and view is pretty good) but probably eat at QCYC or some other place first.

Great location with amazing view for a dinner in the islands

Nice restaurant, more locals eat here.

Hidden gem. Very nice views of the downtown skyline. To top it all off, delicious bites at very reasonable prices. Hard to find these days. Back in a heartbeat if on the island.

The best bar with the best view!

Nice place for an outdoor concert. Food was your average pub style food. Service was atrocious and a mandatory 20% tip was an even bigger ripoff. You earn your tips with good service!!

Relaxing place with great food, a hidden gem

Very disappointing service. 10 minute passed and no one came over to serve us so we left. Terrible service and the staff is not accountable. Would not recommend, there are plenty of places I d rather spend my money at

HORRIBLE service.

The waitresses are very friendly * attentive. I had chicken fingers with homemade fries. The portion looked small, but it was filling and most importantly, it tasted delicious. You pay a little more for the location, but its worth it.

Food was really bad! I hope they can hire people who can actually cook

We were told that we would be charged a service charge for table service but not if we got our own drink. We all went to get our own drinks from the bar and found the service charge on the bill. I think this is very greedy and dishonest. Be very aware of this should you arrive as a group.

As an Italian, sorry for the comment but: terrible American junk food cooked with used oil. The most genuine thing was the classic fish & chips but believe me it was terrible! If it werent for the view I would say this place is worse than any Subway.

It wasn t bad, could be better done and more flavorful for the price though

Pulled pork was tasteless and awful we could not eat it. Marina burger tastes like charcoal. Burned food or tasteless stuff. The whole place is a scam with a view.

Great spot with delicious food and a view of the city! Poutine is very good.

Blanco pizza was ridiculously good

Only thing good here is the view. Food and service are below average sadly.

First of all, the food was terrible. I ordered a salad with sauce I got 0 sauce and they said that is how it is supposed to be. Second of all. The fries were so soggy that we ordered with a side of salad which was also terrible like the fries, also don t hesitate to be tricked by the menu they describe it as the best thing ever even though it taste horrible. The chicken jalapeño bowl was so terrible it almost made me throw up. Although this dinning was not close to delightful they were however nice enough to refund the chicken jalapeño bowl, also they burgers were burnt and they were almost impossible to eat as it made me gag looking at it. Finally we also ordered chicken in a baguette and it unexpectedly turned out to be soggy chicken in a hot dog bun which was also soggy. Although all of this is true they had excellent service which was good to have. I would recommend to not come here unless you want to go home unsatisfied.

Went here for the first time, Emiree was the sweetest server!

This place is a joke...... I was not impressed with service? We just go in, & were totally soaked from a quick storm on the lake. The wait staff had an attitude from the moment we walked in & decided not to serve us.... They took the menus away from us...... Just o make sure we didnt even have a chance to order some food..... Judgement is On behalf of the staff. NO one should feel unwelcome at a marina durring a storm. NO one should be bullied on Believes of Opinions. This Marian SHOULDNT have any support with repairs of support continuing service. Native warriors....Take your land back.... Bias a$$holes.

Meh.

I was there on this past Sunday and witness pretty sad behavour from the wait staff toward a party of 3 that treat rather shabbly from the wait staff, the wait staff even took back the menus and asked them to leave. I think that staff needs retraining or replacing

Fun place to grab a pint with friends and enjoy local live music.

Great location looking out Toronto downtown. Nice view and atmosphere also staff are cute.

very delicious and perfect weather!!

I didnt like it at all The potatoes come burnt and the food tastes musty Terrible service They told us they would save our drinks for us because we ordered takeout and they just threw them away???

The best atmosphere on the island for reasonable price. Good collection of beers and menu is seasonal, which is awesome.

Lovely views and great service, food is pretty average. Watch out for the seagulls!

Loved it. Beautiful set up. Lovely views of the skyline and water. Big portions of Nachos & Fries. Veg options available, good drinks and cocktails. Overall a really good place away from the city.

Amazing place with good food and friendly staff

We were deceived by the 4.2 rating. Terribly bland food. Just boiled chicken in everything. Zero flavour. Burnt burger buns. Only saving grace is the good view from the restaurant. The waitress was extremely rude. Kept telling us not to let our kids walk around. Esp when there were no customers on our side of the table. Clearly not kid friendly. Pizza pizza had better tasting food compared to this place.

The portion size for my sandwich has been reduced as compared to last year. Salad was a goid portion. The service was great. Jessica was on her game. She got me in and out very quickly. Bill and machine were on the bar before I finished eating! The place needs a face lift!

Shhhh, don t tell the tourists!! AMAZING views and cold beers in a relaxed setting.

Great Hidden Place with great beer.

Horrible food! First of all they had very limited choice on the weekdays. I ordered a beef burger and guess what? It was made from one of the pre-made patties available at No-frills. I took two bites and just wasted the burger. The fries were horrible too, seems like the oil was not changed. The server never came back to check on me. Stay away from this terrible restaurant.

Meet great people. Friendly waiters and waitresses. Food was good but needs more variety.

Very bad burger

Good burger

Tasty food with good portion. The waiters and waitresses are super friendly. They gave us complimentary pitcher. Totally worth the price.

Beautiful view of the lake - you can watch all the boats coming in while having a drink and cheese fries.

Best spot on the island (with Toronto Island Café too). Very friendly, great view, decent food (I said decent... not great, ok) lovely atmosphere. Cant go wrong!

Such an awesome getaway close to the chaos we call toronto, 10 minutes from toronto harbourfront, park in a visitor spot and enjoy a good meal and some drinks with your fellow passengers, food is great and not outrageously priced for this day and age, for a meal and a glass of pop (i drive the boat) is about 20 to 25 dollars, and the fries are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, i have yet to try some of the other menu items, poutine is great, onion rings with their curry ketchup was great, and my go to the chicken ceasar wrap Vegetarian options: Ive gone with groups, some of the people ordered vegetarian options and they seemed to enjoy it, im not a vegetarian though, Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp, though if you are accessing the private dock you need your own way for exiting the boat onto the dock safely etc,

excellent services

We ordered the nachos, steak sandwich, chicken club sandwich and marina burger. They all tasted below average. Service was bad and slow (though the place was not full). Without notice at the end they even forced the gratuity which was outrageous. Such service does not deserve 20% gratuity. Not recommended

Food was not tasty. Service was below average. The restaurant was not clean.

Diet Coke and Sapporo were flat. Fries were warm but limp, chicken caesar wrap was average. A single bill and auto gratuity for a group of 6+ is normal, except service was slow and lacking (we had to ask to have our water pitcher refilled, and ask to have the correct number of cutlery sets) and the autograt was 20%. The only redeeming factor is the patio restaurant is secluded and you can enjoy a relaxing meal in a charming spot on the island.

great view, not too busy

The food was delicious, the service was great and the view of the city was beautiful! Would highly recommend!

Best bar in Toronto, but dont tell anyone

DRINKS ONLY. Food has no flavour..ordered beef deep barely any caramelized onions..or horseradish mayo. No cheese had to send back and we got a slab of sandwich sliced cheese not appetizing or melted.. looked like they were upset that we noticed the sandwich was missing a major element that we paid for. Will be back but for....DRINKS ONLY

Waited 1 hour for a sandwich & fries. Fries were very greasy - either the oil they were fried in was old or its not hot enough. I really liked the music though (afrobeats)

Good place to have drinks and food, near the lake and enjoy the breeze too. Limited biut well structured menu with good service and taste too. Whenever I get an opportunity I would like to visit and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and place.

I recently visited this lovely and tranquil bar-restaurant located on the center island, and it was a delightful experience. Many customers would simply dock their boats, grab a bite to eat, and continue on their way. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was satisfactory, and the overall atmosphere was simply breathtaking. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended!

Great bar on the island. Fun spot to people watch from. Incredible views of the city, especially at night. Food was fantastic... try the nachos.

Great place to have a meal an a pint when youre on the island. We stayed later to watch the excellent Tim Bovaconti band. A great day on the island. Food : 5/5

Some great food here with an unbeatable view. The veggie burger and onion rings were amazing, only room for improvement were the fries which were a bit dry imo, and the nachos - which were a bit too salty for me. Overall I would definitely come here again to take any big group/tourists for a nice lunch. P.s. If you eat fish, I hear theyre buzzing here, I was with a group of 11, and 6 of them ordered the fish taco plate, and they were raving about it, so if you come here those are a must-order. Vegetarian options: The veggie burger was unique here, it was a minced vegetable patty, which Ive never had before, I thought it was great.

Over priced store bought plastic patty burger.

You should really try the Nachos here (good in quantity, 2-3 people can finish it) Along with that try their refreshing Guacamole and cherish that with some chilled beers. Food

An awesome little place I didnt know about until I stumbled upon it one day. I felt like I was up in Muskoka while I was here. The beef dip is pretty good. Ive now also had the mezze board app, not bad! Rubén sandwich also pretty good, hit she spot. Friendly and quick service! Free mooring for boats if youre a customer of TUD.

Boat here a few times a year. Never disappoints.

The spinach salad was not fresh. Sandwich ok. But price-performance is not right. View is great

The place was a big hard to find (right next to the island fuel dock) but it is a gem. the view is priceless! decent pub menu, plus ice cream and deserts. There are large table (perfect for groups or families) and smaller tables for couples. nice music and professional service.

Jessica and Becca were incredible! This has been the best atmosphere I ve had in Ontario so far this place is so great and such a gem. Don t come here if you suck you won t fit in.

Dinner on the terrace with a music group and almost only locals... few, very few tourists. Average food but very nice atmosphere and night view of Toronto. For the return by ferry...be patient or choose the taxi boat...

Its a really chill place and it was right by the water which was amazing. The people working there were very sweet.

Great bar food on outdoor patio with shade. Service was terrific, very helpful and prompt. Fab view of the city.

This is a hidden gem. Great views of the Toronto skyline, not crowded, delicious food, fast service and cheap wine. The beef dip and Cuban sandwich were great.

Beer & nachos is the only thing that is recommended.. Food is not good noe is the service. They ran out of dishes & glasses..served my 16.00 6oz wine in a tumbler glass. Service is slow, forgetful and bad9 Food

Insider tip! Beautiful view of the lake. In addition, the place is not overcrowded with tourists and the prices are fair. Unfortunately my chicken wrap was served with cheese, even though I specifically asked when ordering whether it was possible to have the wrap without cheese

The Upper Deck is a simple, casual restaurant on the islands facing Toronto. The view of the city is breathtaking, the dishes are simple but well prepared, the service is precise and friendly. You can get to the islands by ferry (about $10) from the pier at the end of Bay Street. It is a lunch trip that I absolutely recommend

Excellent panoramic position, a choice that includes not only traditional meat dishes, burgers, fish and chips but also fresher and lighter dishes such as salads.

Beautiful little spot in the island, food is good, the dinghy dock could use some love!

What a fantastic time! The energy and the people are awesome and karaoke night is so much fun. Tay and Jess really know how to get the crowd going!!!

Great casual Island food dishes

We come here every year on the long weekend. We look forward to this trip and from service to food and everything else we will always return. Easy Menu, not a difficult amount of options. Extremely tasty! Make the trip it s more than worth it! Food

Really terrible service. Was there with friends and we grabbed a chair from an empty table next to us. Someone came over and said that they would need that chair as there was a reservation coming in. Meanwhile, there was a table with two guys at it and there were 2 unused chairs - why not just ask for one of those? Instead, we had to go and get one of the chairs from the table with two guys who weren t using them. Again, terrible service, the wait staff should be sorting that out. Then the people who showed up were friends with the server and she sat down and hung out with them while she was working. It s also incredibly annoying not to be able to split a bill and demand a 20% gratuity on a group of that. They didn t even let us pay on separate cards. Atmosphere is great. Food is just alright.

Drinks only! Service was rude even though we were all overly polite, quiet Millennials. The automatic 20% gratuity was added on AFTER HST so was more like forced 25-30% gratuity on bad service. Fries were cold, food bland. However, was a fun atmosphere later in evening when bands started and regular bar service was great.

Been there feels like a mini getaway from reality

Went there during the air show. Couldnt see much of the show, the staff was great at the city view was wonderful. My wifes salad was great, but my cubano was dry. Food

Loved the ambiance and food I ordered a veggie burger. It was really good. Patty was made out of beetroot and better than a regular veggie burger Vegetarian options: Good Vegetarian Options Available

Great place with nice views.

We love The Upper Deck! We are regulars especially on band and karaoke nights. They put a lot of work into the decor over the last couple years and have expanded the patio. A great escape from the city of you want a low key casual vibe. The staff work long days and are always upbeat and fun. Jessica is one of our favourites and can make fast drinks on busy nights! Nathan, Tay, Reilly, Skye, Fiona, Quinn, and Becca are a few of the regular staff this year and are always a good time. Food is pub style, burgers and fries, fish and chips, don t expect gourmet meals. The beef deep with fries is the best thing on the menu and a good value this year.

I chose this restaurant because it was the one that had a higher rating than the others on the island. I must say that the restaurant has a wonderful view and the girls who served us were very kind to us. We ate well. The plate of nachos was really exaggerated in quantity for a European like me probably here the portions are all bigger. Very good beer recommended

A great spot to stop for dinner if you re visiting the Toronto Islands! Amazing view of the city skyline from the patio and tasty food! Service was quick, but not super friendly. Overall, worth the stop!

Food was absolute garbage. $27 for Nachos and you get basically a bag of nachos with dry diced chicken breast on it. Nice guy serving it, but would never go back. Food

Great casual drink spot!

A great time. The last time I was there my ex girlfriend said it was amazing

A beautiful place. Good service at affordable prices.

Super friendly!

Great place for live music and Skyline views

Marina burger.... seriously. The best. Also a fantastic vue with Awesome staff. Its where the local hang.

Really good experience. The food was great, the view was wonderful, and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Very happy with the experience overall. Highly recommended!

Great views. Decent food.

Good service but can t balance the price and taste that was trash.

The food is pretty good pub fair.

The staff made us wait for 45 minutes, mixed up our orders multiple times, and provided subpar service.

Everyone else had vegetarian and were happy with their meals I had a burger that hit the spot. The fries were au point. We all had a great time - the beer selection was good. The staff was casual & friendly.

Very nice location. however the waitress threw my dish when I hadnt finished, I had just left for a few minutes and my dish was barely touched. I was not offered any solution, no discount or to redo my plate. Damage.

so i came to this restaurants last week, food was good... and i was planning to give good tip... however... the cashier/waitress she added the tip in the bill without asking me... and when i looked at the total I asked how do I add tip... she said dont worry I have already added that in the bill and forced me to pay the amount.. so I am planning to check with few govt places to get a legal advise on this... i dont mind paying tip and I like to pay reasonable tip but adding $$ in bill without telling me and making me pay for it... this sounds a bit strange..so lets see what action i am going to take against this restaurant..because i have proof of everyhing...so be careful guys and if someone else has faced the same situation..do contact me...

This is a very nice Marina restaurant. A great environment next to the water. A great place

Great view, friendly staff, good size tasty food!!

Great place to hangout with live music and great food!

Lovely yacht club, great position, food and service were excellent, will return soon.

Good people good food

Best chicken fingers in the city

Spent the day on the island .. Gibraltar beach is fantastic .. All sand .. Biking is the best way to experience the whole island .. Then went for a drink and munchies at the Upper Deck .. Always a great experience! Calamari & drinks to end the day

Great views from the deck and solid drinks, didn t try the food

Great establishment. Beyond excellent service. Very friendly staff. Amazing views. Highly recommended.

The food, drinks and entertainment was great. We really enjoyed ourselves.

It doesnt get much better than this place. Great patio right on the water. Boats all around. Fantastic views of the city of Toronto. Excellent service staff. Really great food. Cant wait to go back there again.

One of the best patios in Toronto Great staff and the fries are phenomenal

Nice lunch with friends.. 2nd visit this year!!! See you next season !!!

Love the vibe and view. Service was quick and food was fried goodness

Sun & live music - what more can you ask for>?

Service 5 stars, food - zero, not tasty.

Our new favorite bar

Nice patio with a great view.

Great fish tacos!

Magical spot with a view and away from the city noise!

We came here for lunch on a weekday. The service was very friendly and efficient. The menu has a good selection of food and drink and the portions are generous. We shared a caesar salad, a Cubano sandwich and a shrimp stack salad. It was all great. We will be back.

The sunset view is amazing - the food is good & the staff are super friendly!

First time here and came during covid 19 but stage 3 so dine in was available. Average sized bar and the place was decently full. Came with my special friend and initially we were told no seats available but then we found one ourselves. Sat down and probably waited about 20 min before server came to take out orders. Waited for the our drinks for about another 10 min, while everyone around us were getting their food and having a great time. After about 20 min after getting our drinks the server came and brought our appetizer the fried calamari. Then after about 10 min, the server comes over and says oh what else did you guys order? Are you kidding me? When you punched in our appetizer you didnt think about the rest of our order?? Why didnt you ask us earlier like when you brought the appetizer??? Total waste of time. No one else in the place was having any issues but us! Very interesting that we were the only Asian people in the entire place. Definitely not good vibes here people, I will never return as there are a couple other bars and restaurants on the island. I also do not recommend this place to anyone as the bad vibes we were getting do not lie, this place is bad!!

Annes comedy show was the best.

The veggie burger here is actually veggie burger made of beetroots, lentils and quinoa and the cocktail drinks are also made well.. overall a wonderful place overlooking the lake and making your visit memorable

Great service!

Absolutely amazing place to visit and bring your boat to

Marc from Tiki Taxi suggested us the Marina burger from this place and oh boy! It didn t disappoint!! It was the perfect meal for the weather with the view of the Toronto skyline!

The three of us had lunch on the patio on Friday September 24, 2021. It was not a good experience. The wasps were terrible. But more disappointing was the fish and chips which 2 of us had. There was literally no fish and just a chunk of batter. I complained and asked for another item and chose a club sandwich. I noticed afterwards that they also charged me for that. How a restaurant can get away with this is not right even with the pandemic happening

Amazing place, goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction. Amazing view and vibe, a must for your island experience!

Great live music and amazing view of the city. If you miss the last ferry because youre having too much fun, water taxis come every hour

Great place for a nice island drink. Karaoke inthe summer too!

F h hi my sad az Izumiuc

Great place to grab a quick bite while boating in the bay!

Great little bar for boaters and their guests. Nicely situated on the waterfront with a great view. Nice B-BLT (beer and BLT sandwich with chips). Friendly service. Pleasant atmosphere. Makes living through The Pandemic a little easier.

Great place ,great service ,fantastic fish and chips. Just like you had when you were a kid.

Great hole in the wall on the toronto island.

View from my table on the patio.Torontos best kept secret so SHHHHHHHHH!

Great patio, especially in the evening when the string lights come on with the night view of the city reflecting off the water.

Feels more like Florida (in a non crazy way) or the Caribbean than Toronto

Fantastic deck. Great view of city, stop in if your in the harbour for a bite. Well worth it

My husband and I went to this place on Sunday evening after sailing and our night was horrible. He got food poisoned and still recovering. Another person ordered clams and he wanted to send it back after tasting it, and we thought there was an issue with the clams. So he ordered fish and chips and I ordered a salad. It was obvious from the men sitting next us who sent the clams back that there was an issue with their food but we ate anyways. He had severe nausea and diarrhea all night. This place has a beautiful view and service but their food should be reconsidered.

Best hidden secret in Toronto.

Nice little hidden spot. Worth the visit

Great spot for some food and drinks, also the view is amazing!

Good beer, great view, whats not to love.

A beautiful little hideaway on the island. Good food, drink and the view is one of the best in the city.

Great place to relax and listen to good music.

This is probably the best place in the Islands to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenes from down town Toronto while sipping an Ice cold beer. food is also very good here. I ordered the burger and I was very impressed with the quality. The staff here are super lovely and they really listen to what exactly you are requestiong. I highly recommend to catch the sunset here and enjoy some drinks while seating on the deck.

Great food

Just fun. Great haddock & French fries.

Love going here for a drink after a long bike ride with my ride or die great view and they have beyond meat burgers

Great place to have a drink
