Joni Restaurant in Toronto

One of my most fav restaurants! Service is always perfection, the vibes are so cozy, quiet, and peaceful always reliable for a last min reservation for a nice meal

We thoroughly enjoyed every meal

Had a lovely December brunch in Joni. The atmosphere and service were great. The only thing lagging a bit was the food. Eggs Benedict had a different twist in the sauce which was not my fav and the small salad that came with it was quite wilted as though it had been waiting for a while. The other 3 were very happy with their food and we had a really nice time!!!

Good

Me and my friend went to this restaurant, the service was good but the food was tasteless, we felt so disappointed because the food was expensive

Thoughtful and accommodative restaurant within the Park Hyatt Toronto. Solid menu.

Came here for our anniversary dinner. Left not unhappy but unsatisfied. We both had the chefs tasting menu, out of many courses the only thing that stood out as good was a petit lamb app, which was one of 3. Nothing was strikingly good. Our server never came by to ask how any of the courses tasted. Honestly, was worse than mediocre and would not return.

Wow! One of the best meals I have had in Toronto. We had the chefs menu with wine pairing, it was fantastic. We especially loved the snacks to start (shout out to the lamb with hickory sticks), the potato with egg yolk dish, and the dessert (that sorbet was SO good). The wine selection was SO good. I cant wait to come back again as the menu rotates with the different seasons.

I have been here twice now for brunch. The first time the hostess at the front stand was a little rude but the service from the actual servers on both occasions was fantastic. The creme brulee french toast is an absolute must-try.

Wonderful FINE dining/upscale restaurant nestled in Park Hyatt Hotel. Stunning with elegant ambience. Hostess was personable & welcoming

An incredible experience at Joni. The executive chef John was extremely kind and came out to our table to see how we are enjoying our meal. He explained their focus on quality and local, in season produce as well as the aging process using Koji for the meat. We elected to get the chefs tasting menu, and it was absolutely delicious. The food was very creative and unique, and the flavours were incredible. Quality and attention to detail made this one of my most enjoyable dining experiences I ve had in the city. The cocktails were also creative and well balanced. Service was exceptional and the staff were very knowledgeable in the food and well versed in recommendations for drink pairings with the meal. Live piano and singing created an excellent ambiance. We cannot wait to return in the winter to see how the menu changes with the season. Thank you very much John and Joni.

Best brunch in the city!!

Pizzaiolo in Toronto offers a delightful dining experience with its authentic wood-fired pizzas. The crust is perfectly crisp, and the fresh toppings burst with flavor. The casual atmosphere is inviting, making it great for families or a night out with friends. Service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for pizza lovers!

They forgot my order. They did nothing to compensate. Food is delicious

Hidden gem of a tasting menu on the ground floor of this hotel.

I was really excited to try the tasting menu at Joni, as it s an experience I usually enjoy. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The food was mostly tasteless and served cold, and the wait time between dishes was far too long. While the restaurant itself is beautiful with a great atmosphere and decent service, I wouldn t recommend the tasting menu. Opt for the regular menu instead.

I highly recommended this restaurant for food lovers looking for a top-notch experience. Whether you re dining in or taking out, you won t be disappointed

Good service and food

Steak and Eggs were done perfectly medium rare, the vinaigrette dressing on croissant sandwich was perfectly balanced with the acidity and savouriness.

Have been here for the power lunch set menu and recently did the chefs tasting menu. Food is so amazing, such great quality and so much thought put into all the flavours and components. Defs a new fave and cannot recommend enough, esp if you re a foodie and are open to doing the tasting menu! The chef and servers were also so sweet, and added in lots of special touches and complimentary items. Truly felt very special and loved how they described the intricacies of all dishes. The head chef was so excited to share about his special dishes, it was truly so genuine and showed us how much love and thought he poured into it. Keep it up :)

Love you Erin! 10/10 service. Would come back just to talk to Erin!

Fantastic service and good food

I went to Joni Restaurant a few weeks ago and the food was delicious. Went for a birthday and did the summerlicious menu and we all enjoyed the drinks, the food + the many amounts of dessert there was. It was FANTASTIC.

Such a nice place and atmosphere.

Outstanding! The chefs tasting menu was such a great experience. I hadn t heard much about Joni but we had an amazing time. The wine pairings were perfect and the food was creative, plated so artfully and beyond delicious. We even got to meet the chef and talk about the food.

The tastiest Pavlova dessert Ive ever tasted, Im delighted, its super tasty, I recommend it

This is a very elegant and calm restaurant. It creates a dining atmosphere typical of a hotel. The service was sophisticated and the recommendations were good, but overall the drinks were salty.

If you are looking for a fine dining restaurant that can succeed your expectations, you have arrived at the right place, I got to taste the summerlicious menu and it was incredible delicious from the starts to the end, quality was the key ingredient. The scallops were incredible good, also the steak and fries, super tender and nice. I got the pleasure to also taste the pavlova and was delightfully. Highly recommended

Dining at Joni Restaurant was a delight. The cozy, modern atmosphere set the stage for a memorable evening. Kozzy, Telissa, and Ceren provided exceptional guest service, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Very tasty food, especially the Ontario trout, great cocktails in a flower filled area on the ground floor of the Park Hyatt hotel

Took my wife to Joni for dinner last night. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. We will be back.

Food

So amazing

Staff behavior wasnt good, food was pathetic overall 1/10 Vegetarian options: Not so options Kid-friendliness: Nil Wheelchair accessibility: Nil

A very nice restaurant

The breakfast was incredible. We had a 1-night stay at the hotel (Park Hyatt), being a Hyatt Globalist, we received free breakfast. The crème brûlée French toast was THE BEST.

I will definitely go again because of the food and the vibe. I was very suprised with its atmosphers of the restaurant. Its luxury and cozy. And the food is delicious and has varisty flavour with local and seasonal ingredients.

Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. Service was not pretentious. Food was delicious, using high quality ingredients. Atmosphere was very pleasant and sophisticated. Only downside is the rumbling of the subway underneath.

beautiful atmosphere and the bartender Laura was attentive and great. Will definitely come back here!

Laura at the bar was an absolute doll!! She was more than delightful and very accommodating to what we liked. Made us one of the best spicy margaritas I ve had in Toronto. She s a gem, cannot wait to be back!!!

Nice place

Brunch at Park Hyatt is an absolute must-do experience in Toronto. Rahman gave us exceptional recommendations and we were able to sample a variety of their brunch dishes. The Crème Brûlée French Toast was a standout dish that is an absolute must-try. And their cocktails are just as great! Joni Restaurant at Park Hyatt is truly a hidden gem with top notch service.

Great service and food was beautifully plated, but flavours were somewhat mild.

In Torontos London-like weather, I noticed the renovated Park Hyatt while strolling through Yorkville and decided to drop by for a warm drink. However, they didnt have hot chocolate at their rooftop restaurant on the 17th floor. So, I came back down to Joni and enjoyed a delicious cup of frothy hot chocolate recommended by Barsha.

Afternoon high tea was exquisite, romantic and delicious!

DISAPPOINTED! I booked a Afternoon Tea on the 14th of April for my uncle and aunt, who were celebrating their anniversary, and they were travelling from London. Running late, I spoke to a restaurant staff member around 3.15 pm to inform them that my uncle and aunt would be delayed by about 15 more minutes. I explicitly checked if this would cause any issues, to which the person confirmed it was acceptable. However, when my uncle and aunt arrived between 3.30 and 3.45 pm, they discovered that the Afternoon Tea service had already ended. If the staff member had informed me that the Afternoon Tea service was ending soon, I would have arrived early and waited inside with the treats while keeping an eye out for my uncle and aunt. Its disappointing that they traveled all the way from London only to be unable to enjoy the Afternoon Tea experience. Im upset that the associate neglected to mention the kitchen closing, as this oversight ultimately impacted their anniversary celebration. As an industry professional, I understand the significance of punctuality, although unforeseen circumstances like traffic can sometimes cause delays that are beyond our control. While its common for kitchens to close at specific times, what truly matters is clear communication. The absence of communication from the staff member significantly affected my uncle and aunts special day. Having visited the establishment twice before for Afternoon Tea, this third experience has left me disheartened, and regrettably, I wont be returning in the future.

I came here twice for the afternoon tea and it was a delightful experience . The food was beyond delicious and good portion size. We got a table near the fire place and the atmosphere was very warm. Will recommend it to my friends and will definitely come again.

Food was amazingly delicious and service was great! We had a wonderful evening and will definitely return.

The brunch menu here is actually not bad, I like it so much that we came back 2 other times. However, they messed up the dish that I like on both the occasions when we went back. The hash was either burnt or not cooked at all. Plus the fact that when I asked if the orange juice was freshly squeezed the first time, they said yes. Then when I got the juice on my second visit, they told me that it was bought from somewhere else. I guess that I should have asked if it was freshly squeezed in house.. Overall, really good ingredients and the service is good. However, the cooking could be improved and the food took forever to arrive even when the dining area wasn t super busy. But probably the best hotel brunch that I ve had in a while.

My last experience was tainted by finding hair in my food and effected my view on my multiple visits. Unfortunately, the managers handling of the situation was quite disappointing. Its disheartening as it negatively impacted my appetite and the enjoyable night I had hoped for. Caution is advised for future visits.

I got the smoked salmon crepes. So salty I couldn t taste anything beyond the salt. Sauce was gross. Crepes were not fresh at all. Feeling very nauseous.

10000000/10. Brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea, winterlicious... they do it all so beautifully. Chef Jon Williams & Chef Mark knock it out of the park everytime. Rahman, Akhil, Manpreet & Hava made the night complete. Thank you!

Yesterday we celebrated Valentines day at Jonis. We love Park Hyatt restaurants and when were were advised that it will be prefixed menu instead of experiences or a LA Carte at 120 per person we did not think a moment and reserved our table To our immense disappointment, minus excellent service, the menu that consisted of three courses choice of appetizers and main course and two deserts was absolutely terrible! It was very small and halibut was salty I returned it but new one arrived just as salty and looked like it was pre cooked before and from frozen fish!. Two deserts were not tasty very small. We had to load up on bread not to stay hungry. My husband had to order a salad to keep him not hungry! at around 6. 30 a horrible singer came and what came out of her mouth could not even be considered singing! We are very disappointed!

Love this place for leisurely brunch or dinner. Huge high ceilings lend an airy feel. Food 4.8. Service 4.9. Atmosphere 5.0. Exce lent for occasions, comfortable for larger groups, loved it for date night tasting menu. Underated gem

The hotel is nice, but I have to be honest about the restaurant its not great. The menu needs a serious makeover. We were excited to try their holiday dining experience for Christmas brunch, but it turned out to be a huge letdown. As a tasting menu, the expectation is to receive each dish one by one, starting with the starter, then the entree, and finally dessert. Unfortunately, everything came out at once, giving the impression that it was not carefully and freshly made but prepared much earlier, possibly grabbed from the fridge or pre-made. The food was old and tasteless, and my guests and I unanimously agreed it wasnt worth the money. Being enthusiasts of Torontos dining scene, it was disappointing that we had to think of somewhere else to eat. We ended up going to the Epoch Bar at the Ritz Carlton, wasting both time and money. Fortunately, Epoch Bar was fantastic, both in terms of taste and value. They offered a wider range of options, freshly made, and at a reasonable price. The chef and restaurant management really need to rethink the menu and make some improvements for a better dining experience. Considering the negative reviews for both brunch and dinner on OpenTable and Google, perhaps its worth reconsidering the holiday dining experience altogether.

The perfect hotel for high tea. The portions was healthy. The selection of teas were amazing, and the service was what you expect from a 5 star hotel. The chef served us the savory bites which was a nice unexpected event, and the server went above and beyond to make us feel at home and valued. If you want to enjoy a nice afternoon with your loved one or go on a date. I highly recommend doing high tea. Thank you for the great experience!

The service was definitely a 1/10. The waiter and waitresses were not attentive and often took very long to help our table for afternoon tea. Once my partner and I were seated we immediately ordered the sweets tower and it took OVER 45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE! On top of that when we asked for refills on the tea pots our waiter mixed up our drinks and almost caused a serious allergic reaction. The other tables around us complained several times about slow service or missing orders. On top of that the staff was not knowledgeable about what we were served, whatever they described was not what we were eating. For instance there is a jelly like candy and we were told it was lychee while in reality it was a peppermint flavour. For a luxury hotel restaurant I am EXTREMELY disappointed and will not be returning. I would go elsewhere for those considering coming here.

It s going to be hard to put into words how special this experience was at Joni but I will try my best! WOW. From the amazing live music, the cozy ambiance, to the impeccable service and food, this was a 10,000/10 experience! Our server, Roy, was so beyond kind, attentive, and funny. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed like family. The live musician was so good and her voice really suited the atmosphere. Now the real good part: the food. We had the 9 course tasting menu and oh my GOD. Everything was flavourful, unique, presented BEAUTIFULLY. We just couldn t get over how over the top it all was! This exceeded all expectations and I could not recommend coming to Joni on Wednesday nights for Joni Live and to try their tasting menu!

Surprisingly good coffee and soup. Excellent service, rarely seen in Toronto.

The bar has very friendly staff and the drinks and service are all top quality.

Left Joni Restaurant with full belly, jittery body, and as a happy Michelle { Tea at the Park } A progressive assortment of sweets and savoury bites, perfectly paired with two sommelier-selected creations from Sloane Tea $188 for two We each got to pick two types of tea, to a total of 4. Our favorite picks throughout our afternoon tea experience are selected below: [ Sommelier-selected Sloane Tea ] / Savoury / DARJEELING 2nd FLUSH JASMINE SNOW DRAGON / Sweet / HEAVENLY CREAM OOLONG CRÈME [ Best Savoury ] Beef Tartare Tempura Lobster [ Best Sweet ] Pear Tartlet Petit Four @jonirestaurant really outdid themselves. Thoroughly enjoyed the setting, the service, and of course, the afternoon tea experience. Our experience took the full two hours, which I say was crucial and made the experience even more delightful. With the time, we got to enjoy our variety of teas, and endless selections of the savoury and sweet bites. I appreciated the attentive yet not invasive service and that the experience wasn t rushed. We could not finish the sweets at the end, and had to get them as takeout. We were extremely full and very caffeinated Joni s afternoon tea is not yet too known among people. Thanks to this, I feel that the staffs were able to deliver their utmost service and quality of food. The restaurant was also spacious and not crowded, that everyone was able to enjoy their time with adequate noise level. I highly recommend Joni s restaurant.

Today my reservation was 9 pm, got the place at 9.30 pm due to the festival season. Fine its ok, didnt think to offer a drink while waiting . When got the table, given the courses type menu, the food is so cheap for $95 per person. And the total hours spend were 2 hours. We are from Malaysia, and we eat always in Hyatt and the food is fantastic and the service is first-class. Here im speechless, looking for words. You guys have to upgrade. Its not about money, I spend $350+++ for this service. Goshhh.. no WORDs.

Our family with twin boys (19 months) have stayed at the Park Hyatt Toronto several times and ate at Joni/room service for most of our meals due to convenience - the twins were 7 months upon our first visit. The food program is fresh, seasonal, modern and delectable, executed with technique and consistency. The menu has expanded and evolved each time so we never get tired of the selection. Although I am friends with Chef Jon, I am speaking honestly as a discerning guest (eating out in TO is an expensive endeavour so value is key) and would highly recommend Joni restaurant.

Excellent NYE dinning experience. Although it is very expensive, your money is well taken care of on the food, service and Atmosphere experience. The 7 course meal along with the wine pairing was well coordinated. None of the meals disappointed and in most cases they were unique food items that I have never had before so it was great trying them where a chef was spot on. The Halibut was the best Ive ever had, so tender (picture where its partially covered by veggies). The Wagyu beef and lobster dish was fantastic. The pasta and the chocolate for dessert was delicious. Staff were very professional and you receive the 5 star service you would expect from a fancy hotel. I main waiter was Kozi, super friendly. The restaurant itself looks like it went through a nice renovation and the lighting and music made good feel very comfortable.

The place was empty at 6pm. But the food was phenomenal and they even catered to my husbands gluten allergy!

I took 5 people there for the tasting menu with wine pairing. It was a celebration. The table was for 6 & in a corner by the cash desk. We piled our coats on the spare chair, as no-one offered to look after them.The food was acceptable, the wines were wonderful. The service was minimal at best. No-one could explain the food selection or wine pairing. Most of the food was lukewarm. Total cost was close to $1,600. Never again. Also, we went upstairs for a nightcap ($170 for a bottle of wine). It was difficult to get a table for 3, although I did mention our dinner at Joni. I repeat: never again.

My friend and I had the worst high tea experience at Jonis. Given we dished out nearly $200 for this experience, it was disappointing to say the least. It took them 50 minutes to send us their pre-made tray of sweets and 25+ minutes for our pot of tea. I asked for water when I sat down and it took them 10 minutes to give me a small glass of water. No one came by to ask us for our order.. after waiting for 20 minutes, we had to wave at someone to get their attention. Btw, there is no front desk, you literally have to go up to someone in uniform/at cash to tell them you have a reservation. The place was half empty, so we didnt understand why everything was so disorganized. Not to mention.. the sweets were not fresh and it seemed as though they were trying to rid of their winter/Christmas treats.. end of January. We were there for nearly 3 hours to make the most of our buck.. but we do not recommend this place.

We came to celebrate my brothers birthday here. The atmosphere and food were good but the service left us asking for much more. We had to repeatedly ask for missed drinks and food items.

Went to dinner on January 27 to celebrate a deal and unfortunately the service left much to be desired. Although the restaurant was staffed and venue only partially occupied, we had to ask more than once for items we ordered and received very little follow-up. I also sent an email expressing my concerns and only received a generic response from the Food & Beverage Manager. I would consider other reviews (the last four expressed concerns with service) and perhaps consider other options in the area.

Awesome dining experience! Initially we made the reservation for Winterlicious but decided to go with the tasting menu instead and truly enjoyed being surprised with the unique and delicious courses. My favorite was the Uni on French toast, an amazing combination for the palate! Really appreciate the few extras the chef added for us beyond the menu. The service team is friendly and attentive, ambience is warm and inviting, we will definitely visit again!

Went here for Winterlicious. Great atmosphere and delicious food.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed Winterlicious lunch ($55++/person). The food was exquisite! We both thoroughly enjoyed every dish and left us wanting more! When it comes to Winterlicious I find that some restaurants don t put as much effort into their food or they only offer the cheaper menu items. This was not the case at Joni. The mushroom soup was velvety smooth with laces of black garlic or balsamic!? The black cod had bursts of citrus and creaminess from the mussel sauce. My dessert honey was also delicious without being too sweet. Sadly the service did not meet our expectations for a 5 star hotel. The service did not do the dishes justice! Each dish was simply dropped off with only the name eg black cod without describing the ingredients or complexity of each dish. Hence why I can t really share the details of our meal. Other than the friendly hostess, the rest of the staff lacked finesse and passion. Felt like they were just there to collect a paycheque from their unionized job. I waited so long for my water glass to be topped up that I decided to go do it myself and no one even noticed. During the call to confirm our reso, the staff confirmed that we were celebrating a birthday and a promotion, sadly there wasn t any gesture like a candle on our dessert or even a congratulations or warm wishes from the team. A verbal kindness would have gone such a long way. I would like to go back to try more dishes and I hope that the service will improve next time. *Valet parking is not validated for dining. $35 for the first 2 hours, $5 for each subsequent hour.

Enjoyed the Winterlicious menu. The black cod was delicious and the plating was great. Service was attentive and kind. Beautiful restaurant.

The ambience of the place was on point and so was the food. We ordered the mushroom soup and the Waldorf salad as appetizers which were divine but the cod was beyond delicious. The sauce it came with was finger licking . For our last course we ordered the apply dessert which was light and refreshing. I ve given 4 starts because the service definitely needs improvement. Even though there weren t a lot of guests at the time we went and there was sufficient staff on the floor, I would have preferred that there was a server within eye range and I didn t have to wait 10-15 minutes each time I needed a spoon or something

Nice place to relax out & have a few drinks. I sat for awhile before someone came over (the people sitting beside me called over a server and I did that after they did). The host was nice. Didnt try food, only drinks. But finally did a review after the 2nd visit.

food environment is really good bty Mrs.Ceren is the best waitress ever seen always smile patient to introduce food we all can feel her sincere from her beautiful eyes

Great spot in our hotel, atmosphere was calm but inviting.

Tea time was good and worth the price for a special day

Great entertainment and food for Valentines day.

Great Canadian food!

We were invited back to Joni for brunch after a previous disappointing experience and this visit really turned things around! We had the steak and eggs which was amazing! The steak had a perfect cook and the combination with the sauce and eggs was wonderful. We also had the French toast which was delicious. Our server was very friendly and made great recommendations and overall I had a lovely experience with my guest. I can t wait to come back again! Thank you for turning things around and taking our feedback!

Had high tea, service and atmosphere were great. Savory plates were awesome, but the Christmas themed sweets were okay.

Came in for breakfast today for the 3rd or 4th time, the french toast is so delicous! Get it every time. 10/10 recommend joni for breakfast/brunch.

Went for a lunch tea time. Had an impeccable experience. It was a redo because of a previous experience that the manager took care of. Previous was lack of service for about an hr not receiving anything. This time unbelievable in treatment with great French wine, caviar and all the extras. Great people watching :)

A very good experience dining here. Amazing cocktails and food choices.

Really loved so much about the tasting menu! We had the opportunity to dine there a little bit ago and the entire night was really special. We had the full tasting menu with wine pairings, which you should prepare your body for because it is a lot!! Rahman was our server and he was extremely attentive throughout the process. Constantly on the look out for what his guests need throughout the meal. Kendra was our som and you can tell how thorough she is in her knowledge and research of the wines that are being put on the list. A lot of the detail she gave was not only informative, but helped to create a picture of the wine as a whole. Her service elevated the evening quite considerably. Chef Jon is clearly very passionate about his trade and how his flavors come across. He introduced every course to us and also went into incredible detail about why he paired things together or where the idea for that pairing came from. Huge thank you to the three of them for making the evening as memorable as possible! As for the food, my favorite dish had to be the pasta course. The creamy miso sauce was honestly incredible and the croutons are small and seasoned so it adds a crunchy element to the dish. Im a huge fan of creamy, savory dishes, and this hit the spot. The portion was light to look at, but once you eat it, realize you probably could not stand to eat anymore because it really packs a punch. The tuna tartare and crab dishes were too delicious. I loved them both for being light and vibrant and flavorful. It was difficult to figure out which was the best. The wine pairing with all three of these dishes was also incredible, the crab pairing my favorite of the night. My least favorite dish would have to be the pigeon, through no fault of culinary issue. Im just not that much of a pigeon person. My partner, however, was pleasantly surprised to see it come out and ate both of ours. He said it was amazing and I will take his word for it. Overall, I highly recommend! We had an amazing time and the meal was worth the effort.

This is one of those rare gems that has yet to explode in the Toronto scene because the Hyatt was in renovations for 4 years, so its still off if the cities radar BUT its now one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. Have had both the tasting menu with wine pairing and A La Carte and both are 10/10. Have a drink first on the 18th floor at the writers room and make your way down to Joni for your dinner reservation.

Joni received lots of mix reviews. Some said very good, some said very disappointed. I gave it a try on New Year Eve. It only offers tasting menu at a price of $190 per person. Upon arrival, valet parking is almost a must, unless you parked at Yorkville public parking. Start with bread and some Italian sauages. Bread is surprising good, comparable to Louis Louix and Alo. Then oyster with creamy sauce, I like the combination, chef is very creative. Next course is the fras gois with the cute little pieces of bread. There is fish broth served, and I feel like the broth is a little salty. The halibut course is amazing, fish meat is firm and fresh. Next course is a piece big ravioli with truffle. Nice execution in this course, the waitress told us to cut in half, and there will be a raw egg inside. Last main course is the tenderloin with lobster. The steak cooked medium rare, and very tender. Finally dessert is a small cream puff with ice cream on a tart. Again, nice presentation and can see the chef put the effort on each course. I love Joni at Park Hyatt!

Had dinner here with my partner for our anniversary. The atmosphere felt casually elegant and intimate. It is located on the ground floor of the hotel and with the high ceilings, this place did not feel stuffy. For the tasting menu, it is best to reserve 3 hours. Each course was explained upon serving and portioned well. The taste, texture, plating, and everything simply wowd me. With well-timed intervals between each course, there was always room for the next dish. Bellies were full and happy by the end of dinner.

My girlfriend reserved this restaurant for her bday party tonight of Chefs choices and the overall experience was very disappointed so that I cannot even wait until next day to write this review. We came here to celebrate a big event in someone s life yet they tell us to keep quite while we were laughing and talking, when you see people are taking loud and standing up everywhere past 9pm. Not gonna talk about that guys face, make us feel so unwelcome at a point we all wanted to just leave. Maybe he doesn t mean it but should pay attention to your facial expressions too esp when serving in a high end restaurant. Our cake was not being refrigerated properly despite that we requested so we ended up with a half melted mess. And when they delivered the cake to the table, we asked if they can help us to cut the cake and they said they need to charge $5 per person if they cut it for us while we are already paying $120 per person for a 5 person table. What a ripoff. The food was lack of taste and quality. The only thing good entire night is the waiter who served us. He is very patient, always come with a smile and that s the only reason we have left a tip to be honest. Overall it is a QUITE DISAPPOINTED experience for such called fine dining restaurant. Will not come back and will not recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea with my girls! Our server did have a mishap of telling us to wait until our tea set is done to order more brunch menu, only for the kitchen to close and failed to submit our order. Would have been great to be warned of kitchen close, when she knew we wanted to order more and told us to delay it. Otherwise, the food was spectacular, and the space is immaculate.

Such a surprise - the tasting menu was varied and fun, the staff had so much knowledge about the dishes and the wine, it was wonderful. Also happened to go on a Wednesday when they have live music! They have great mocktails as well!

We ve been here a few times and we had a really good experience! We love this place and specially their desserts! Make sure you try their desserts when you visit.

A high end brunch restaurant with grear food and service. Also, it is relatively easy to get a reservation on weekends maybe because it is a big restaurant

Had the 9 course tasting menu. Food was amazing and the wine pairings were spot on. Intervals between courses greatly varied, some were so fast we barely able to finish our wine and some were so long we thought they forgot about us. Only thing I really did not like was the ambiance. The restaurant is open to the hotel lobby. It felt like being in a chain hotel buffet breakfast section.

As of May 2023, everything is fully priced and the service and experience need improvements. Previous review: 5 stars My new favourite place for tasting menu, as of April 27 2022. Great food, especially for the price under $100/person. Head chef is Antonio Soriano and does a fantastic job with the dishes. They really need to put together a Wine pairing option, just a little splash for each dish would suffice. Need a good Somm on site. I wasn t offered the service from a Somm during my dining. The server was not very knowledgeable in wine which made things a little difficult. The wine selection by the glass were not matching up to the tasting menu. Slight disappointment. There are still things that needs improvements, 5 stars for the delicious food and support on Google, but it s really a 4 stars overall for now as I look forward to more improvements on service and wine offerings. Best wishes.

I can here for summerlicious with wine pairing. Totally worth it and very tasty.

(Customer Service Needs MUCH Work!) On Friday, a friend and I had visited Joni to try their Summerlicious dinner options. Given that it was $75 for the menu, we were really looking forward to a great meal and amazing service - but similar to the other reviews Im now reading, it was quite the opposite. The beef tartare was great, but the corn ravioli (ok) and semifreddo (way too sweet) were not. We also got the wine pairings to match each course. What is frustrating was the closing service. We were overcharged for an additional meal (totally understand it could have been an honest mistake) but it took 30 mins for them to fix the issue. In that time, they were focused on serving other customers while my friend and I sat wondering what happened. Only to have the server come back and have the revised bill with a surprise service charge of $30 added. And while those taking care of the floor knew we were waiting endlessy, outside of a sorry its taking a while no further action was taken. In other experiences, if an issue takes long to resolve they offer the customer a drink to manage the wait or comp a bit of their meal for the inconvenience, but none of that took place. And only after we had paid for everything, did someone approach us about refunding the whole meal. What I dont understand is why they didnt do that to begin with instead of drawing it out and worsening the situation. Our server did a good job during the meal. What Im more disappointed by is that he wasnt supported properly by others around him when a problem had occurred. I really hope Joni uses this feedback to restore a bit of their brand that has diminished over the last little while. Expected more from a restaurant associated to the Park Hyatt.

Visited this restaurant twice recently for the tasting menu and afternoon tea. I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the food and intricacy of each dish. I was impressed by the service provided on our first dining experience, from the staff who checked in our coats to the servers. All were very polite and attentive. Five star experience overall. Afternoon tea was also a mostly positive experience. We were wow ed by the savoury as well as sweet food items and most servers met the same standard of service provided on first visit. However, the main server assigned to our table yesterday did sour the experience. This server was overtly annoyed when some members of our party were late for the reservation as they were stuck in downtown traffic. When we arrived and asked if we can check in our coats so that we re not all trying to fit our large winter coats on the small barstools, she said sure and proceeded to put the coat on a chair at the table while guests at other tables had their coats checked in. My friends decided to just fit their coats on their little chairs/stools after seeing her do this. Despite her eagerness to get our meal started, it took an unusually long time to take our orders when the entire party was present. We waited patiently but got too hungry and had to flag down a server from a different section to let them know that we wish to put in our orders. The restaurant was not particularly busy this afternoon. When our main server presented the food items, on a couple occasions she placed them down and stated I can t remember what s in it. I am typically not one to complain about these issues and prefer to focus on the food. However, at a price point of $100+ per person, it is also important for the service to consistently reflect the standards expected at this price point. It is clear that this server was performing below the expectations that this establishment and its staff were trying to set. I just wanted to bring this experience to the attention of the restaurant. Ultimately, I will still recommend Joni to others.

Great brunch on weekends!

An excellent restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. A great menu with farm-fresh ingredients made with care. The Park breakfast is very satisfying with eggs, meat, fruit, toast, tomatoes and juice. Dinner is outstanding from starters to main course to desserts. Atmosphere is subdued in a nice setting that is well-appointed. Service is superb with knowledgeable servers and mixologists that value their guests.

Laura was an incredible bartender! She customized an incredible cocktail for me and I can t wait to come back. Highly recommend!!!

Booked a dinner with friends in Joni. We ordered two rounds of fries to start as they looked incredible when we saw them served in the Writers Room bar. The fries were 10/10, some of the best we had eaten. They brought out complementary house made brioche buns with a pumpkin seed and miso butter-they were fabulous as well. We had ordered drinks which were delicious and the carbs helped while we waited for the main meal. Two of us ordered the corn soup and it was outstanding-slightly sweet, velvety smooth with cute little corn dumplings and crispy corn pieces. The mains fell a bit short, two of us ordered Halibut and two ordered chicken, The halibut was nicely cooked, moist but I would have liked less capers as the saltiness almost overpowered the delicate halibut. Also the mains dont come with any sides you have to order those separately which I did not. My friends who had the chicken were disappointed saying it was rubbery and the sauce was very strong and had a strange taste, Homemade ice cream for dessert was great especially the salted Japanese plum ice cream. Our server Roy was a 10/10, attentive, funny and very professional. We all commented on the professionalism of the service staff in the hotel, everyone was 5 star which is a nice change from some of the recent less than stellar service experiences some at the table have experienced in other establishments in Toronto. The atmosphere is very nice at Joni, it is an open concept lobby restaurant so you have to watch your speaking level but we didnt have any issues and we were laughing a lot during our dinner. I would recommend Joni for a nice night out with great service in a lovely atmosphere. The drink menu is unique and inventive. Definitely try the fries and corn soup they were the highlights of the meal. And ask for Roy, hes amazing!

Very friendly front of house staff and waiters. We had brunch - the avocado toast was very fancy looking. Tasted delicious too. The restaurants decor was of course very appealing. And considering the location of the restaurant and where it is, the pricing was surprisingly not enflated and was comparable to others. Very good experience here. Would return

Stopped by Joni bar for some beverages where we received the best service from Laura. She provided phenomenal drinks, fantastic service, and made us feel at home with her hospitality. Every drink she made was amazing and we will definitely come back to Joni

Fantastic place to unwind and relax to drink. Laura really made the experience for us. Amazing drinks and good company all around. Definitely a spot you come back to time and time again. Food

Great time at the restaurant. It was our first time being there. Roy our server was incredibly nice and welcoming, probably one of the best service experiences weve had at a restaurant. We came with a toddler and a large group for a birthday. We will return.

We stopped by Joni to have a drink at the bar, and I have to say, the service was amazing. Laura sits and chats with you and will make custom drinks to your liking and she is so good at what she does. I highly recommend everyone try one of her 3 different espresso martinis.

We had drinks two nights in a row at Joni and Laura was the absolute best. She is what made us come back the next night. She makes fantastic cocktails and has the best conversations. Could not recommend her enough for anyone coming to Joni.

excellent service with good foods

We popped in for a dessert and ended up ordering a high tea service personally the savoury starters were absolutely delicious. Each bite was a hit! The mix of flavours and textures was interesting and kept our palettes intrigued. The dessert options were also interesting and very unique. Although we were full we did take a bite of each dessert, the presentation of the desserts were something to really admire. The tea was also very flavourful and the menu provided some good options for pairings. They brought an hour glass that let us know our tea was done steeping, a little detail that was such a nice touch.

Fabulous 5-course tasting menu tonight. Every course was meticulously presented and packed with unique flavours. Roy, our server, was so kind and warm. Joni is beautiful too, ambience is perfect for date night or any celebration. Highly recommend!

Laura was our bartender, she was worth the trip alone. Jon restaurant is a great place for a night cap. What amazing service!!!! Totally exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend.

I commend Joni for offering a plant-based menu. Very few high-class restaurants have such a menu or even make an attempt to cater to vegetarians or vegans so I cannot give anything less than four stars for that alone. We had three appetisers, Brussels sprouts, the eggplant caponata and the mushroom soup. The eggplant dish was very good but sunflower seeds shouldn t sub for pine nuts. The mushroom soup was good and hot and also generous. The Brussels sprouts were okay but had too much sugar (a common occurrence in many places but perhaps a sign of the times). We shared one main course, a mushroom dish, which was so-so. Finally, I ordered a glass of wine, but upon finishing it, the waiter refilled it without asking and before I had a chance to decline so I was billed for two glasses. This is bad form.

Dinner at Joni s last night was fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious, and tasted great. Our waitress was very nice and smiling the whole time, while answering our questions.we have been a customer here for quite some time and the reason is obvious, great food , service and atmosphere would always want to make people come back!!

Tuna tartare was to die for. The atmosphere and decor is stunning and the service was amazing. We had some dietary restrictions and they were able to meet our needs. Highly recommend

5 course chef menu

I went here with a group of friends to try out the chefs tasting menu. We are impressed with the exquisite flavor and creativity of each dishes. Everything is very well presented! In terms of service, I found it a little bit on the slower side and it could get a while to get the attention of the staff. I found feeling still a bit hungry after the entire experience since the portion size is on the smaller side for me. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is amazing and feels really cozy. Overall, its still a great restaurant worth trying!

Best egg benedict & flakiest buttery-est croissants ive had in my life! Never had a croissant like they do it here before - must try!

We stayed at the Park Hyatt but had the opportunity to order room service and dine in at Joni! Food was exceptional. Atmosphere in Joni was a vibe. Incredible piece of art over the fire place. Special shoutout to the service.. it always makes an experience. Laura who was the bartender for both nights we stopped in for a drink was lovely. She made me a few custom drinks and they were amazing!

Great cocktails, nice chill ambiance. Bartender (Laura) was super friendly and had a great depth of knowledge about drinks.

Great food and service

Amazing bartender, Laura, so personable and attentive:)

Their afternoon tea service is lovely and comes with a wide selection of sweet and savoury bites. We had leftovers just due to the quantity of food, but each item was carefully crafted and offered a distinct flavour profile. The service was great and attentive as well.

Decided to have an impromptu dinner here at Joni. We got seated quickly as it was pretty empty on a Friday night. We ordered 2 appetizers to start and 2 mains. The appetizers were great, no issues. When it came to the mains, we ordered the sunchoke ravioli and the salmon. The ravioli was disgustingly sweet and overwhelming in terms of its flavour. When we tried to politely communicate this to the waiter, he told us that the dish is typically made this way and gave us a confused look when we tried to give feedback. I think that it was disappointing to try and give high-end restaurants constructive criticism. The waiter clearly didnt receive it well, professionally or constructively and did not apologize for the experience or mention that he would pass on the feedback to the team. Will not be returning and would not recommend. Highly disappointing.

Great spot in the Hyatt Yorkville. A place to decompress after a long day and enjoy the ambience. Good service and great food in an elegant setting. What else can you ask for.

Food was great which should be the big thing, lovely environment..But the service just wasnt up to par..I was there about 10 mins before anyone came over..which is just weird usually u are waving off...I wasnt offered a second drink until way too late..Waiter came over with bill and just stood there hadnt asked for it..waited for payment...menus werent taken away..just a bit inexperienced for hotel . Just those littles where you are paying to be special and u arent.

I took a special client here for lunch. Was hoping to take them for a premium meal and some good wine. We ordered the Shrimp Crudo and it was inedible and slimy. We both ordered the Trout and it was luke warm lacking flavour. Very disappointing. Will not be going back.

The worst dining experience we ve ever had was at Joni Restaurant, Park Hyatt. This place is so messy, disorganized and understaffed they should not be allowed to call themselves fine dining. The server took 30 minutes each time to check on the table or to come back with an answer to any questions. We arrived at 7 pm, our appetizers were served at 9:30 pm, lobster tail undercooked and extremely smelly literally nobody could stand the dish in front of them. The main course was served at 10:10 PM!! They don t even check on the table to clear things up or to apologize. Do not waste your money on this restaurant. Earls, Jack Astors or even Burger King will do a better job. Zero star.

What a wonderful experience at Joni. Top-notch first class service and delicious food. We dont typically go to hotel restaurants but decided to give this a chance based on the reviews. We were surely rewarded and had a great experience which we will always remember. Thank you.

One of the best in Toronto to dine in.. place looks clean and newly renovated. From valet to host everyone looks professional. Food taste delicious and simple enough to open your mind and soul. Chef John is kind enough to come out and explain product he uses which r farmed/grown in Ontario. He also pair wine with your food..definitely go back with family again !!

We went with the chefs menu and wine pairings. The food was beautifully presented and each bite was full of flavour and absolutely delicious. Friends would be talking and I would not hear a word they said as I was enjoying the complexity of flavours. There was a good variety of dishes and the wines went well with the meal. It was such a fun experience!

Situated on the main floor of the Park Hyatt every seat has an amazing view. You can stare at the architectural staircase or across the room at the beautiful fireplace. We began with an Aperol Spritzfollowed by the chefs menu and wine pairing. Each dish was a work of art leaving you with a desire for more. The wine was paired beautifully. I highly recommend this place. We ended the evening with a night-cap at the Writers bar with gorgeous views of the city from the rooftop.

Food and service was amazing!

This is a nice place. Food is beyond expectation especially the season food of chicken breast. Service is very friendly. The staff Mohammad has provided very warm and professional services.

stunning!!

Room and atmosphere of Joni was comfortable yet elegant. High ceilings added airiness to the surroundings. Staff was very attentive and were able to explain all the dishes on the menu. Luncheon menu was limited but seasonal, the presentation was creative and most importantly delicious . Only one point of criticism was the serving of the Caesar (the drink) which was made from unknown ingredients. The beverage was replaced with a proper beverage later. Also great variety in the children s menu which had nutritional items granddaughter s two thumbs up. Even the Apple juice was fresh pressed and delicious. Will return. Hopefully the lunch menu will be on line soon.

Extremely amazing dinner experience, the special menu was fantastic and thanks for the professional service from Mr.B!

REDEMPTION: Having been asked to come back by the restaurant to try them again, I took them up on their offer last weekend, which also included 2 of my guests. I was pleasantly surprised at the service levels we experienced this time. A far cry from the last time we visited 3 months ago! The Food and Beverage Manager, Ryan McMullin, made sure our last Saturday s brunch experience exceeded our expectations. He was attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to give us outstanding service. We all felt very special and looked after. The food was excellent, and he even went as far as to give us a few samplings of some of the items Joni was showcasing that week. Those items included stuffed zucchini blossoms, mini ricotta prosciutto toasts, and pistachio sweet balls alongside their version of Turkish Delight all Delightful! For Brunch, I had the Mushroom Toast-> delicious. One guest had the Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes--> delicious, and my other guest had the Beef Short Rib Hash--> delicious! But, the fait accompli was their Cinnamon Twist and Kouign-Amann made fresh onsite--> Outstanding! Yes, we left happy, VERY full, and VERY pleased with all that we had just experienced! Joni, you have redeemed yourself and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you, thank you!! (Below was reviewed April 2022 -2 Stars) We were sadly disappointed in our visit today at Joni for Afternoon Tea. Our visit was to celebrate a friends mothers 85th birthday. The woman who took my reservation weeks ago assured me there would be something special to honor our guest. Not only did they NOT do anything special (even in spite of my reminding them again it was a birthday celebration), but for the $125 a person that we spent, what we did receive was very spotty and underdeveloped service levels, inconsistent food quality, and a very expensive bill at the end of it. Although some of the items were very good (Marsala Sloane Tea, Croque Monsieur, Foie Gras, Black Forest, Yogurt White Chocolate Cheesecake, all from Tea Menu; Omelet from Brunch Menu), other items were preventable disappointments (stale scones, tasteless quiche, wilted lettuce that came with omelet, and a very small, lackluster, and expensive serving of the Avocado Toast). The room was beautifully renovated, but unfortunately the service levels did not match the room, and the price point far exceeded the overall actual quality of our experience, which surprisingly was not to the level of what youd would expect from The Park Hyatt or of past services levels from this hotel. As a result, my group vowed they would not return and walked away with a bad taste in their mouth! I, personally was even more disappointed because I was the one who chose this location out of all the other options in the city for Afternoon Tea. Joni, you made me, and you, look bad!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent out my frustration with the food, the wine and the service. In that order: - the food was way below our expectation, based on a previous experience. And the waiter gave us a sole smothered in an ugly colored sauce, and tried to have us debone and share the beast. Also, the portions of food were very poor, and all covered in an undesirable grass. - the wine was way overpriced and the waiter, noticing there was some sort of extraneous thing in my wifes glass, just took it out with a straw and kept pouring - in my long experience in the wine business, the expected action when a foreign object comes out of a bottle of wine is that the bottle is replaced and eventually charged back to the supplier. Finally, for what concerns the service, the waiter was way too informal for the place, in particular against a bill of more than $ 512 including a tip that I left, not wanting to start a fight between the said waiter and the kitchen staff. Altogether, a miserable experience in a restaurant that since our previous visit went way downhill.

Wish there is an option for half star. I would give 4.5 stars. I ordered Beef Harsh is so good and delicious and the coffee is great too! The half start is for the dessert Strawberry Tea , it s only ok.

The restaurant ambiance was really good service was good but we got blindsided we was never told a table of more than 6 people would be one bill or split instead of each person paying for what they ate. Overall experience was an 8/10

Tasting Menu is a recommend for first timers. Plating was creative and meticulously thought out. Proteins were carefully crafted. Supporting flavours were well balanced. My only mute experience was that me and my fiancés steamed halibut was overly salted. Ontario Lamb was my highlight. Drinks were good but could be better. Limited cocktail selection. Overly heavy on my gin - I guess I got value then? Service was good but plate serving could have been synchronized better. Servers communicated each plate well, wasnt too fast or non-descriptive. Service attire was professional and fits well with the ambience. Ambience was great, but the front of house could be covered a bit more to separate the hotel foyer to the restaurant. But, Park Hyatt is one of the best looking hotels in Toronto, in my opinion. Would come back again but for a la carte. UPDATE: We loved our first experience so much, me and my fiancé went back again for the tasting menu (ok, I know I said a la carte next time but I take it back, tasting menu was so creative). Although it was only our second time back, the host actually remembered us from our first experience and even remembered my fiancés food and beverage preferences! Were just humble patrons so we were floored by this experience.

Excellent experience - exceptional service, great food, beautiful ambiance. Highly recommend

Amazing food and excellent service at Joni Restaurant inside Park Hyatt hotel. Got the delicous chestnut cappelletti and foie gras terrine. Brioche bread with butter infused with pine oil and wild flower honey was quite appetizing. Dessert of walnut financier with koji barley ice cream was quite unique. Beautiful spacious interior with comfortable seating.

Excellent afternoon tea! Rahman provided amazing service and it was a really beautiful new space.

We had high tea at Joni today and while the food and tea were amazing, what stood out the most for us was the service. We were served by Rama and he was just an amazing human being and took such good care of us. Will definitely go back!

Excellent food, service, and ambience. Looking forward to coming back.

The only restaurant outlet at the Park Hyatt Hotel. Menu with Limited choices but not at all delicious! Business not very good. Dinner time Saturday only 20% occupancy. Waste of such a good location. Need a good chef for this place!

Sat very empty and food quality does not match the place! Its a shame that Park Hyatt have this low quality restaurant! This is why they only have 3-4 tables for dinner on the weekend

Good wine. Good food. Good design. What else do we need?

Beautifully designed space, food and service never disappoints, I find the ambiance perfect for conversation without being too quiet (or too loud). The Writers Room bar is a short elevator ride away for after dinner drinks. Impeccable vibes.

We wanted to return to the Park Hyatt since we had always loved it at Annona and had not been back since the multi-million dollar reno. Joni is situated in the corridor leading to event space and the rooftop bar. The restaurant is dark, the bar has few seats, is poorly lit and has zero ambience. We were seated right next to the servers station. As a result, every 5-10 minutes, a server was there with their backside in my face, making for a VERY uncomfortable time. We asked to move and they could not accommodate us. The menu is limited, pricey and the portions unimpressive - I ordered the Heirloom Beets to start and the liquid in the middle of the plate had a medicinal taste and was completely inedible. It was so bad that I sent it back. Despite having returned my appetizer, the manager never approached our table to find out what happened. My husband s mushroom soup was lukewarm but tasty. Our main dishes were also lukewarm. My husband had the cod which he enjoyed. My chicken was tasteless and the server poured a green sauce over it which did nothing to enhance the flavour. We paid our bill and as we were about to leave, we noticed someone who looked like they were upper management enter the restaurant. We flagged him down - not to ask for anything but to let him know our experience. As Joni is a new restaurant in our neighborhood, we thought he would want to know. After listening intently, Gio, the manager of the rooftop bar, apologized profusely and invited us up to his bar for a complimentary drink to try to salvage our evening. He was very helpful. The rooftop bar has the most incredible view but we likely won t be back to Joni. We re disappointed after waiting for it to finally reopen, as the Park Hyatt was always one of our neighbourhood favourites.

Good service but food was all right. Tried their Thanksgiving Brunch. Fried turkey on top of Waffle, base was a bit sweet. Smokey Salmon Benedict was ordinary, similar as other brunch places. Pumpkin was special though, came with fruit and yogurt. Pudding was the least favorite one. Dessert was good, ice cream on top of some warm base, mixed with nuts and cinnamon flavor.

I went to Joni to try the tasting menu with some family, and was shocked to learn the savoury items include foie gras. For those who dont know, the production of foie gras is illegal in many countries, such as the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, virtually all of Scandinavia, and more, for its immense cruelty (pipes are stuffed down the throats of male ducks and geese multiple times per day, pumping about 4 lbs of grain and fat into their stomachs, while theyre alive, to produce the fatty liver). They also have virtually no vegetarian options. I feel like this restaurant is stuck in the 90s. The decor and ambiance is great, and the servers are very hospitable. On the whole, if you have any compassion for animals, please stay away from this place.

It was a long wait for a very disappointing experience. After years of watching the demolition of the Park Plaza and the rising of the New Park Hyatt. I was looking forward to experiencing a special evening. I perviously had wonderful experiences in the old building at the various restaurant and lounges. As you pull into the valet parking area, you are first hit with a variable rate parking charge for dining. I wouldnt have a problem with a 50 dollar valet charge but you are told that it is 30 dollars for the first 2 hours and 5 dollars for every 30 or 1 hour after. How are you suppose to treat your server if they are slow? What happens if the dinner conversation is riveting? It was a cool fall evening and I was wearing an over coat. No one asked to take my coat. Waiting staff was very nice. The steak tartare looked good. Great idea to plate on top of a waffle ! it looked exciting but tasted bland. Do rich tones of anything. It was very non-offensive and so dull on the pallet. The duck entree was nice but nothing to write home about. The Desserts were the highlight of the evening. Not often you can say that you had an out of this world parsnip dessert. (I am not the type of person to take photos sorry). I would have been happy to stay and try some after dinner aperitifs but when you get charged by the hour for dinner parking why stay. Most parking lots have a flat fee after a certain time in the evening. I could understand if we didnt have reservations. I guess the Hyatt management assumes their target market is going to walk, scouter, bike or uber. Regards Mark

We had the pleasure of dining here on a Monday night after attending a wine tasting event nearby. I had never been to Joni and was a little apprehensive about taking clients to a restaurant I had never tried. It was fantastic! The food was absolutely wonderful- I had the mushroom soup and the seared duck breast and it was great. The wine list was extensive and we found a great bottle to accompany the meal. Service was great and very attentive. Definitely on my list to visit again!

They serve foie gras, which has been banned in many countries for its incredibly cruel treatment of ducks and geese during production.

The food is fantastic, the space is beautiful. The service is slow, and unreliable. My husband got his main before his appetizer, I had to ask 3 times for a club soda and was finished my main before my husband got his (again).

I absolutely loved my first visit to Joni! It was the perfect spot for a Saturday brunch/meeting. The food was incredible (highly recommend the Creme Brulee French Toast) and the service was outstanding. I will be back!

Had Saturday brunch here last weekend and the crème brûlée french toast was divine! Another standout was the striploin steak, cooked to a perfect medium. The other two dishes we ordered were good, but not anything too special compared to your usual brunch offerings. Located right off the lobby, the ambiance at Joni Restaurant was comfortable with understated elegance. The level of customer care was exceptional in all aspects from the valet staff to our server. Lovely experience I will definitely repeat in the near future!

Excellent meal. Service was amazing, not too much but friendly and accommodating. Food was extremely tasty. I was pleasantly surprised for a hotel. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful meal. Every dish was a beautiful, delicious surprise

The ambiance and service was impeccable Desmond catered to all of our needs It was a great experience overall Would definitely return in the future! Brunch was exactly what we wanted

The creme brulee french toast was fantastic. Surprisingly light! My friend had the eggs bennedict with salmon and she liked it as well.

It was a lovely evening in a beautifully design room. The space has high ceilings but still has a warm and very welcome feeling. The service was attentive and not pushy. Food was delicious.

Very bad customer service. I waited for an hour plus to get the steak I ordered.

Awesome service from Rahman for this mornings breakfast . Food was great and nice atmosphere . Busy but not too busy . Will definitely go back and we will ask for Rahman been there 19 years service was incredible . Highly recommend Vegetarian options: Enough options Kid-friendliness: Colouring stuff for kids.

We had a great brunch at Joni this morning. Rehman was our server and he paid attention to all the small details. Yummy food and excellent service. 5 star all the way around.

Poor customer service, waiting for long time in front of the door without anyone reaching to us, few options on the menu and food quality was not as expected.

Unfortunately the food was very very mediocre and with the price tag, I expected a lot more.

Had the tasting menu! The food was great and the service was good. It was a nice setting with not many people to make lots of noise. Super comfortable.

Not a traditional afternoon tea. Still nice in that you get one tea with the savory and one with the desserts/sweets. I do wish they had the traditional scones instead of the single scone cone. The sweets were more impressive than the savory options. The decor was really beautiful though.

Elegant and soothing

Omg the creme brulee french toast was incredible. Highly recommend .

The tasting menu and wine pairing is a must for foodies. I found the service excellent - helpful comments and very attentive. Will come back soon.

The space is sophisticated and comfortable, not stuffy. Guests were very casually dressed. Expected brunch menu options with elevated twists and prices to match. For our brunch, drinks took a long time to arrive and we waited even longer for our meals. They arrived on the cool side and a couple were not prepared as requested, but we waited so long that we did not want to send them back. I had the short rib hash which got its flavor profile from salt, and the potato pancake was hard and dry. The server offered to comp our desserts. Hoping they will work out the kinks as we liked the space and would like to return.
