Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Garden at Casa Loma offers a "spectacular" view of the historic castle and Toronto skyline. While the setting and ambience are "beautiful" and "magical," the food and service often fall short of expectations. Diners highlight the "amazing" atmosphere, making it a picturesque spot for special occasions, especially at sunset.

The service was horrible. I dined in late august and I still have to leave this review because of how upsetting it was. I had to ask other servers more than once to get the attention of our server. It wasn’t a busy night at all. It was a hassle to order wine with my dinner (again having trouble to get the attention of the server) and by the time it arrived I was finished my meal. Not one heat lamp pm the premises. A evening eating outdoors, nothing. Bring a coat and expect to eat with it on your entire meal. You would think Casa Loma has some kind of standard at running a restaurant. Go to blue blood instead if you want a proper experience and experienced staff. I will never recommend or return. I can’t believe I wasted money and time here.

Great setting for dinner especially at sunset. We've been here in the past and the food was much better before. Chicken was dry and not flavourful this time and ratatouille as the new side is not great. Our server was slow and forgot about us for almost half an hour after we ordered drinks.

Tourist trap. Service was slow and not attentive. Food quality was not at the level of the prices or venue. Just disappointed.

The ambience and the view was really good. The only problem was the food; there were not many options on the menu. I tried the burger which was not anything special and was not worth the price.

I've been 3 times now, and twice has been great. Unfortunately, the recent time I visited, the server was very nice but we had to wait at least 15 or 20 minutes for some hot water/tea refill. It was freezing that day and we needed something warm as we were dying from the cold. We had first round of tea and we wanted a refill after. We were told the kitchen ran out of hot water? So we expected maybe like a 5 or 10 minute wait but we ended up eating half our food without any beverage as the server took our cups and didn't return with the teas for maybe 15-20 minutes. We had to remind her once, and by the third time she came around our table she told us the hot water ran out and they are making more. I'm not sure why it would take a kitchen so long to just boil some water. I felt like waitresses were given too many tables to attend to as well and was hard to get a hold of. By no means did we not enjoy the actual server, she was very sweet.

Food is not great, few options and the layout for tables is not very good and you can end at a table without any enjoyable view.

The food did not taste good for the price we were paying. Our server forgot our requests a few times and we had to remind them a few times. The ambience was the only thing worth it about the place. I got the most expensive thing on the menu and it was subpar. The food was bland and menu was limited.
