A friend and I were there for an event a few days ago! The photos I added are of those specifically curated for this event. This was my first time here and we'll be back for their regular menu because this meal was delicious! Their chefs really know what they're doing! The atmosphere is luxurious and comfortable but not pretentious (if that makes sense). The star(s) of the show were definitely the servers! We had the pleasure of having Chris (for food) and Masha (for beverages) as our main servers who were both attentive, efficient and personable. They answered every question we had about the ingredients and accommodated every request with grace. Excited to come back to try the food but even more excited to hopefully be served by these two again!

Great food, the duck confit hash really stood out. The shakshuka was good as well, especially with the Zatar pita. The restaurant offered TS themed cocktails. We got a surprise birthday cake which was very nice.

Last Saturday was my fifth time here, and I don't think I will come back in the near future. The service was NOT GOOD. Our server was a white, tall man around his forties. I believe his name was Roberto or something. It took forever until he finally came over to take our order, which is annoying but understandable; it happens sometimes. And then we asked for some sweet and fruity cocktail recommendations. I remember last year when I was here, the server was very kind and accommodating, and he even recommended us some drinks that weren't on the menu but the bar made it for us. That wasn't the case that night, which was also okay, I know the night was busy. But the server wasn't really friendly when interacting with us in general. I don't remember him smiling once the entire time. When we asked for the bill, we asked for 3 separate bills and only two of us had drinks, so we assumed that the server would be aware of this, but he wasn't and divided the bills equally, and we had to ask him again, which clearly, he wasn't happy about. As mentioned, over the course of the dinner, I faced multiple inconveniences and was kind of disappointed by the service, so I tipped 18% for the food but didn't tip the drink, which was around $22. The server straight out called me out and said in a very condescending tone to make sure to tip for the drink next time. He didn't even ask if his service was bad or why I tipped that way. Mind you, all my friends tipped him 18%, so overall he did get more than 15% of tip, even without my drink portion, which I believe is sufficient for a disappointing service. Honestly, I never write reviews, but this experience, especially the incident with the cheque really ruined the vibe of the night and I'm sad that I lost one of my favourite restaurants.

Went for brunch. Coffee was meh but food was delicious. The avocado toast was a beautiful thick smear of guac, and harissa mayo on breakfast sandwich gave nice kick!

Beautiful place to visit for dinner or business meeting. It’s very peaceful and cozy with plenty of delicious high-standard food items choice. Menu is pretty flexible in terms of dietary restrictions or allergies. Serving team is always ready to assist you with that. Also, concept of open kitchen gives you another way to entertain yourself if you come to dine in alone. You can sit at the bar around the kitchen and just watch how your food is being prepared 😌

Cinnamon Babka French Toast was good the but very sweet. The double smoked eggs benny was good but the toast it was on was very small and not a lot of potatoes. But over all was nice!

4.0/5 Stylish decor and a calm ambiance. This was a nice brunch spot for a weekend morning. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of The Anndore House. Service was a bit slow but the server was pleasant. We tried the Croissant Sandwich and the Ricotta Pancakes. Nothing super special but good. Prices are a bit higher for the amount of food provided but comparable to other restaurants in the area. There is plenty of of parking in the Green P across the street so this was very convenient. A nice brunch spot if you’re in the area!

The best part of this restaurant is the dining room. It is beautiful, stylish and very comfortable. There are nooks for a very intimate dining experience. Although the food is tasty they don't pay too much attention to details of basic restaurant management. The restaurant on a Saturday night was not busy, yet the food came out at different times, our guests were made to wait for their lamb burgers while others were served their meals. Although it was a group of 15, they came out with the dishes and did not know who ordered what. It was like a gong show with making sure we got what we ordered. The salad on the summerliscious menu came with cherries, some were pitted and some not. That was very scary eating it as you could accidentally break a tooth or swallow a pit. Also the tomato were not cut, we found a half of a tomato in the salad and had to cut and prepare it ourselves. Very odd! The pork chop said it came with whole grain mustard and legally they did add it, but it was only a quarter of a teaspoon. Blink and you would miss it. We asked for bread, because the meals were coming out very slow and they took it upon themselves to order 5 orders without asking how many we wanted for the table. We were charged for the bread ofcourse. Finally, because it was a group of 8 or more, they changed the 20% gratuity but do not show it on the bill. It is charged automatically when you tap to pay. Turns out they charge the gratuity on the total after taxes!! This should be illegal! Why am I paying gratuity on the HST?! Very sneaky. I have lost trust in this establishment. Maybe this is the reason it was slow on Saturday night.

Constantine has nice ambient and that would be all positive about this place. The food plate was extremely small. I ordered some duck with poached egg and got a plate who would be enough for some child age 5 to 7 years . Probably not even enough for them. Egg was boiled, not spilled around like it should be. It wasnt salty as well. Needed to ask for additional salt. When you compare with other similar places, bad experience. The owner should consider that people come to restaurants to eat something , not to leave and have burgers after that. Also, I dont know what Mediterranean is here. Place is far away from Mediterranean cusine . Very disappointed

Terrible. Last night was my third time at this restaurant. The first two times I figured I just had bad luck so I thought I would try it one more time. I will not be returning to this restaurant. I will admit I am somewhat of a foodie and like a good atmosphere, great food and good service however I am not a complainer and never send food back. The doorman looked like he was half in the bag and very lazily pushed a button to open the door. Almost felt like I was in gangs of New york and he was in the middle of a drug deal. The restaurant was dead inside, my friend and I had a table for two. There were no other parties in the restaurant when they sat us. 20 minutes later in an empty restaurant they sat a loud party of six right beside us and we could not even hear ourselves talking. Not quite sure who thought of that. In a restaurant with no customers we lost our initial server who was quite lovely and was replaced with another server who was lacking everything, most importantly skill and personality. The servers looked to be glorified teenagers serving substandard food in a substandard setting but charging premium prices. We were not offered water, we had to ask for cutlery and side plates. Our French beans were undercooked and although we ordered our steak medium rare it was basically raw. The shrimp was delicious though. So theres that. The martini was terrible too. Had this been my first time with a bad experience at this restaurant I would not write a negative review but there is no scene here. Dont be fooled... You dont have to try it once, nevermind twice.

My experience was disappointing . I booked the chefs bar and chefs menu. Instead I was taken to a different table and given the regular menu. The restaurant was very quiet, so there was definitely room , but I went with the new table location and didnt say anything. I brought a bottle of wine to be corked, and it wasn t until I asked the server to do it, that he did. The bottle was on the table in plain sight and it was about 10-15 mins in before it got corked. Not to mention that I emailed a week before hand about pairing wine with the chefs meal and wasn t responded to The food was good, the buratta and the canestri pasta was the highlight. At time of dessert, we were asked if we were celebrating anything. We told the server it was our anniversary (I also noted this in the reservation). They said congrats and left it at that. I would have figured even a small dessert or appertive as a gesture would have followed. The restaurant is stunning, but the entire experience didnt come together and really just fell flat. Your food can be good, but if the entire experience is not, it takes away. This was an unforgettable experience for the wrong reasons.

Do not fix what is not broken! This place will be my legend of the neighborhood with the highest degree of peaceful experience for the most reasonable bargain in the country. I could not substitute it for anything big or small. So gentle and classy and niche and comfy. And open and long and wide and visually candid. I forget about toronto when Im here, and only remember the rain. I will see you more often my friends in quality living, thank you for the precious hospitality!

From the moment we arrived, to the service, to the food/portions, and atmosphere - 11/10 rating if I could. How you make something so simple like broccoli taste as good as you did... *chefs kiss*. You had my whole family buzzing about this place for months. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

This is a balanced review. Atmosphere is great - it has lovely decor, service was good, but food was mediocre at best. Pizza was luke warm with cheese barely melted, more like an appetizer size and nothing special. Shakshuka was rather bland (vs spiced as it should be) and eggs overcooked.

Loved it, but its NOT Mediterranean food. Its more Italian. Nonetheless, everything was top notch. Bathrooms could use a re-do, loved the open kitchen concept. Decor is too 1970 in my opinion, staff definitely should be wearing black and white, not shorts and t-shirts. Would go again as the wine list there is a mile long!

Service is really poor. We went to the restaurant and bar on two different nights. When we went to the restaurant, food was decent (although small portions that were kind of expensive). Service started out ok but then our server disappeared and a manager closed our bill out. Second night we went to the bar to get a drink and were ignored by five different employees after our first drink. We will be going to the pub around the corner for the rest of our time in Toronto.

I was quite disappointed in this restaurant. The restaurant decor looked great and sets a great tone for the experience... But thats where it starts going down hill. The service was incredibly incompetent, dismissive and APATHETIC. Ruined the whole night and experience. There was not one dish that was served to the right person throughout the night. Whether it was the appetizers, mains, desserts or coffee, the staff seemed lost and without any intention to take responsibility or intiative to solve their confusion. Also, our party asked if there was bread for the table assuming it would come with the overpriced meal. Everyone was charged without notifying us of a charge. We would have liked the option as many in the party doesnt eat bread. This type of presumptive upselling is tacky. The food was a mixed bag but overall, its a lot of bluster in the description which doesnt translate onto the plate. For example. The lamb burger was decent but undercooked. It came with potatoes that involved a 5 minute description but ended up being whole mini potatoes fried and just plopped on the plate. No thought put in, just added without any heart.

This Sunday we landed to Constantine for our brunch. We ordered Shakshuka and Egg benedict with roasted mushroom. The food was amazing, the bread & the spicy tomato sauce were made with bold flavors and spices with eggs poached on the top. The place is worth visiting. Ambience and staff behaviour is also very good. Highly recommended. Eager to dive again soon

The waitress said she could do the pasta special without meat to make it vegetarian after I asked about a veggie dish shown on their online menu but not the printed one. I said great, I ll have that and when it came with meat she said that I didn t communicate it to her. She also didn t know what was/was not avail on the menu. The bread starter was also burnt. Tasted like when I accidentally burn my grilled cheese. This was super early on a Sat before a play. They were not busy.

Terrible server. Mid 40s man with grey hair. He was so rude, we asked to speak to GM. Server said they didnt have one and then went on to explain how they wouldnt listen anyways. Brutal night and will NEVER come back. We had the chefs table, he didnt know anything about it, no descriptions. Drinks took on average 20 mins. Sooooo bad, do not go. He thought being sassy to us was cute and it completely wrecked our 1000 meal.

*winterlicious menu* FOOD: Surprisingly good Radicchio Caesar: amazing quality parmesan, love the sunflower seed adding a fun texture to the salad, dressing sauce was delicious. Lamb Burger: they nailed it. Brioche bun was on spot, lots of sesame. Patty is super juicy and tender, perfectly medium rare. Im not a fan of baked potato but lord I fall for this one. Skin is crispy, seasoning was simple yet make it so tasty. Its smoky, sweet, soft, crispy, everything in a roasted potato. Gold Chocolate Lava Cake: slightly fail because the filling was too oily and not runny. But flavor is 10/10 SERVICE: waitress came check on me every once in a while. The place was dead empty so the host disappeared so I had to waited for a while to be seated. VIBE: love the decoration and lightning here. Its quite empty so a little quiet.

This is the second time we have dined here while staying at The Anndore House Toronto and are already excited to return. The Restaurant Manager, Rudra and her team made sure that we were well cared for. So very accommodating and courteous, professional , making us feel at home. The food was presented in an elevated way, seasoned to perfection. The entire dining experience for brunch and dinner was perfect. I would highly recommend a dining experience at Constantine Restaurant located at 15 Charles Street E in Toronto. Special thanks to Bartenders David and Ashley in the cocktail bar and of course the fantastic service at dinner by Stephen. Fantastic atmosphere, amazing flavours , truly a fantastic place to dine. We also appreciated Emmas great service for brunch. Looking forward to returning Micheal & Shawn Parking: Located directly across the street.

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, at first impression the place wasn t very impressive staff wise, although the greeter was lovely there didn t seem to be a dress code, our waiter on the other hand was not overly nice, we had ordered drinks and they are extremely strong and when we sent it back we were questioned on if we had read the menu correctly and saw that it had 2 ounces in it, the food was good flavour wise but wasn t overly hot, when we had asked for our bill we didn t get an itemized list and it was quite odd when we asked for the bills (plural) we only received one and a machine with no print out of the actual bill, overall not the worst but certainly not the best, there is far better options in the large city of Toronto.

Second, the service here is better than some five star michelin restaurants I ve eaten at.

Not happy with the customer service. It was my first interaction with this restaurant and I had booked 3 weeks in advance for my wifes birthday celebration. Only to receive a random notification that my reservation was canceled and not other explanation a week before our event. At first I thought it was a joke and after several attempts, by phone and email to confirm this disappointing news, I couldnt get a response. After one final call to this restaurant the agent confirmed that my reservation was indeed canceled and the entire restaurant was booked. To my dismay the news was not well received as I am now in the process of scrambling to find another venue to surprise my wife for her milestone birthday . So disappointing, needless to say they will not be hearing from me again.

The staff member assigned to our event (i can remember his name but he was asian with blondish hair) went above and beyond to ensure we taken care of, super on top getting people drinks, making sure there was enough food, keeping me in the loop of the progress of our service. Ive organized event for many years from small lunches to galas and this dude was a pleasure to work with, the kind of service where just a look across the room was needed and he knew what was needed. The food, incredible. The drinks, amazing selection including many non alcoholic cocktails. Our clients loved it, my team loved it. Will highly recommend to anyone I can.

One of the worst. Portion size is not relevant. The waiter will only treat you well till you tip them otherwise will be rude to your face. Food was ok with no so fresh ingredients. I would recommend to skip this place if you want to have a nice time. Extremely dissatisfied and disappointed by staff behaviour. In a hospitality industry you are meant to have certain standards and they lack that. Better educate your staff on how to treat a customer right. I will never return to such a pathetic place ever again.

I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. The service was excellent and I was spoiled for choice when it came time to order. I ate a short rib cavatelli and had red wine. The washroom was also nice. Since I hadnt been to the restaurant before I couldnt tell that it was inside what seemed to be a restaurant complex.

Came here for dinner a few months ago, and had a terrible experience. Host sat us in an empty section where we were promptly ignored for close to 40 minutes before finally getting water brought to the table. Multiple people had walked past us, seeing our empty glasses and menus, and I caught some eyes and unfortunately continued to be ignored. Manager was also rude and unhelpful. Service here is so incredibly poor and I will not be returning. Our waitress was actually lovely, and had not been informed by the host (or the multiple other bussers/servers) of our presence. The manager made a comment to me about how someone should be fired for this poor experience, and hes right - it should be him. If his staff is this poor at communication it is a management level issue. I have worked in the service industry for close to a decade and this was the worst I have ever seen. Would not recommend!

The ambiance and the service were spectacular. The food was ok. It was very pretty but for me it didnt really match the rest of the restaurant. I think they took a risk coming up with a new recipe but it didnt work well. Our order was this pizza with lemon slices on top of it. I was apprehensive and as I suspected it wasnt good. It had a bitter taste to it. And for that taste it was too expensive. The flank steak was well marinated and cooked to perfection. But the sides didnt do it for me. The caramelized onions made it too sweet and the roasted green onions were meh. Id go again and choose my dishes more carefully.

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It was one of the top rated in Toronto and happens to be in a very convenient location. The ambiance is amazing. Contemporary, artsy and tastefully decorated with 3 different rooms. We dined in the formal room and had an amazing selection of dishes to choose from. The salad was very unique, light but flavourful. It was perfect! The pasta was delicious (would have it again) and the salmon was perfectly done with crispy outer skin. Overall very impressed with the food, the price and experience.

I came here with a friend a few weeks and was very disappointed. We ordered the focaccia and while nice and fluffy, it suffered from a lack of flavour. Hoping our main would be better, the gnocchi continued to disappoint. It was equally flavorless, and not appetizing. We finished off with dessert in hopes of it turning things around, and ordered the black forest cremeux. This was much better than the rest of the food we ate. In regards to the service, the servers were attentive, and the atmosphere was calming. Thus, I think this place could have potential but definitely needs to improve certain menu offerings.

A terrific start to our first night in Toronto! From the moment we were greeted, we knew that we were in good hands. The staff were discreetly attentive, professional and helpful! (We really wanted to know what brand of olive oil they used it was delicious) our food?? Well just simply bliss. Fire roasted Shishito peppers to start. It was a generous bowl for us to share. Their house focaccia which triggered our olive oil frenzy. (Light! Rich! and delicious!) then we shared a plate of roasted Brussels sprouts (believe the other reviews! We did and were very happy); our mains were ricotta gnocchi (clouds of lightness with wild mushrooms and fresh peas) and Malfadine alla Genovese (pasta, zucchini & pesto! So flavorful!!!) our bottle of Prosecco was poured stealthily by our server, so it seemed as if our glasses were never empty. Dessert was an Apple baklava (yes, it s like thanksgiving at your favorite Greek grandma s house) and the grapefruit & Rhubarb panna cotta which was light, refreshing and hit the spot!

We came in for brunch on a Sunday around noon. The place was nearly empty (there was a six top on one side and a four sitting outside) and it took just under an HOUR to get our food. To add insult to injury, my food came over twenty minutes after my wifes arrived so I didnt get my food until she was done (we were both so hungry at that point, I wasnt going to make her wait). Im super forgiving of variables that might have been happening, but what isnt acceptable is the staff didnt seem to think it was a big deal. They eventually offered to remove one drink from the bill after we made it clear we were upset. Sorry, but thats like putting a band-aide on a chain saw wound. There was no Oh my gosh Im so sorry its taking so long. Nothing. We couldnt even get anyones attention to ask what the hold up was. I was like theres no one here, what else could you all be doing??? The ONLY saving grace is the food was delicious. Just make sure to eat before you come to this restaurant.

Great restaurant with excellent food and great ambience. The restaurant is located in The Andore House , a hotel belonging to the Hyatt group. The furnishings are modern and very tasteful. The staff was very nice and friendly during our visit. We once had the Schrimp Spaghetti and the Short Rib Cavatelli . Both dishes really impressed us with their taste. We had the Into it cocktail as an aperitif. This one was excellent. Unfortunately the IPA I ordered was only from a can but it was also good. The entire concept of the restaurant completely convinced us, especially the open kitchen as a central place where you can look over the kitchens shoulder while they are preparing, making the restaurant a great place. The advantage of being a guest at the hotel is that room service includes the food from the restaurant and you can alternatively eat it in your room. After our visit to the restaurant, we took a small Pomodoro Pizza to our room for later. In terms of price, we would classify it as medium-priced, but the quality is perfect.

Located within the Andorre Hotel on Charles St just east (one building in fact) from Yonge street (just south of Bloor), Constantine is nestled way in the back, past the small reception desk, to a substantive and multi styled restaurant. To start there is a cozy bar bordering the eating area, that has a very dark and somber ambiance which is appropriate for a quiet drink or a business meeting, while the main restaurant has a large central space accented with bleached maple wood and light colored trims, with two annexes on either side that are smaller, darker and cozier. Overall, lots of options and very pleasant. For our morning meal we enjoyed the Tomato & Cucumber Salad (very good, nice dressing, and light), Breakfast Sandwich (on a croissant, very good as well), the Shakshuka (a smaller portion that normally but still enough with a nice pizza dough pita on the side), and a simple Bacon & Eggs (how can you go wrong). We only had breakfast here so we can not comment on the evening dishes, but were overall happy with the options, service and general experience. Worth a visit. Enjoy!

Celebrated a birthday with a group of friends. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice and calming, it looks very beautiful. Although there was no music. The service was fast and good as well, our servers kyle and the beautiful girl who i forgot her name were really great. They kept checking on us every 10 minutes and had a great energy. The drinks were strong and ok, not a lot of variety. The kitchen was located in the middle and it was huge, however the menu was extremely small for a kitchen that big and the items were very limited. The prices were very reasonable as well. The desert menu was limited as well with only 3-4 options. We ordered pizzas and pastas and they tasted good. The food was good and really delicious. Overall it was a good experience

The entrance left me a bit confused, but the interior of the restaurant is quite stunning. The white wine mussels were quite enjoyable, although they leaned slightly towards the salty side. Unfortunately, the roasted focaccia did not meet my expectations, as it turned out mushy and not the crispy texture I had hoped for. The mushroom gnocchi and Sisito pepper dishes were decent but not exceptional. As for the vegetable side dish, Id recommend the broccoli over the squash (which, by the way, was zucchini) because I detected a slight gas-like odor from the zucchini that I didnt like. Nevertheless, the highlight of the meal was the lamb loin, which was absolutely delicious. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the 0% alcohol gin martini.

For kidney disease you should eat here. Brem salt! The cook must be deeply in love. Combination with a fairly salty seasoned lamb burger with a bun with feta cheese. Spagetini with shrimp, salty and very spicy. Duck liver mousse nothing to complain about. just good, but minimal portion. Maybe the Chef was free....... This restaurant is part of Hyatt hotels **** but the wait staff walks around in shorts and short sleeves. Nice open kitchen but chefs without hygiene gloves. Require no less than a 20% tip at checkout because we were with a group of 10 people, including a 2.5-year-old child! Advice: look for something else.

Visited for dinner tonight and was disappointed. Service was terrible and food was ok. Genuinely felt sorry for the server who had no idea what he was doing. Clearly was not trained and the supervisors weren t supportive (they were busy being chummy by the chefs bar table). Our menus remained at the table even when our food arrived, as did the set wine glasses we weren t using. Our cocktail glasses sat empty on the table our whole meal, as did most of our dirty empty plates. And we weren t checked in on once. Two of our sides were cold, food service was slow and our order came out wrong. The dagger was a $10 mocktail shirley temple that was beyond sour and imbalanced. Only above average plate was the grilled mushrooms with corn - YUM. Also appreciated how the menu was vegetarian friendly. But I won t be back. Big thumbs down from a neighbour who was excited to return regularly post COVID. Vegetarian options: Good veg options.

Constantine is a beautiful restaurant in north Downtown. It is posh in appearance and atmosphere and is perfect for dinner. The lighting and decor make you feel comfortable and the staff are increasingly friendly and helpful. I remember them smiling genuinely all the time. When it comes to food, it was great! It is certainly not going to blow your mind, but it was really good overall. For appetizers, we tried focaccia, pita, olives, and hummus. All were very good. Yet, focaccia was the best: basking in tasty olive oil with herbs over it. Soft and perfect. We had arrabbiata pasta as a primo piato and it was al dente with a very nice sauce, spicy and well balanced. The flavour balance stood out to me in this dish as it was done very well. I also had some bass with Tuscan kale. The fish was prepared well and. Served with mustard and kale was wilted and enjoyable overall. For dessert we had baklava, which is essentially an apple pie. We also tried their pistachio plan. I would recommend the latter to the former. The wine selection was decent! All in all, this is a very great place to go for a nice dinner! I recommend!

Brussels sprouts, definitely reorderable, 5/5, the balance of sweetness and sourness is flawless. The skin is roasted in such a manner that it s crispy enough; the inside is fresh like a baby.
