    Amazing food, drinks and location! Service was friendly and fast. We were there for Taylor Swift on Nov. 23 and they were decorated for her and for Christmas. The whole place was incredible! Anytime we are in Toronto, it’s a must!

    We really enjoyed our brunch food but also want to highlight the excellent service we received. Thank you to the gentleman who helped my husband down the stairs. Very thoughtful. I put the noise level at quiet because we were upstairs - note that piece of info!

    What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!
