Beaumont Kitchen - Toronto

Ambiance: Lackluster Food: Excellent quality and generous portion sizes Service: Exceptional, attentive server though lacked in-depth food knowledge

I have been coming to this restaurant since it first opened, and it has had its highs and lows. Overall, I would give it 3.5 stars for now.

Front desk staff was pleasant, our waiter was semi-engaged, one of the waiting staff was setting the table next to mine and intentionally was working so slow and was listening in on my conversation with my sister. Food was nothing spectacular - O&B restaurants tend to serve same old stuff. Won't go back again.

The occasion was a birthday lunch and we were not disappointed. Wait staff were friendly and efficient - even supplying a table charger for my iPhone. My favourite dish was the Avocado Toast. Desert was a nice surprise plate complete with candle and Happy Birthday in chocolate. It was my second visit and I was not disappointed. And the location is awesome - right beside the ladies shoe department!!

Wife and I came here for brunch on a Saturday. Nice upscale crowd, from a dress perspective, did not feel snooty by any means as there were families, couples, friends and large groups present. Ambiance is very modern and one can see a lot of work has gone into the design with a bar, lounge and a seperate seating area. We ordered the smoked salmon toast and the beef brisket hash. Smoked salmon came with a choice of a side and I chose the mixed greens. Both dishes were done really well, and were very filling (despite the mixed greens side ordered with the salmon as I could have had fries or mashed potatoes I think). The reason I have docked a star here is because of the value, for a breakfast / brunch on a Saturday, it was very pricey, $50+ tax/tip for mains and coffee. Also, coffee was very average, I would try an espresso based beverage next time. Overall, would recommend the brunch if you need to impress someone, but would skip if on a budget with a family.
