Great ambience, delicious food, excellent service. A trifecta. The room in the back has great ambience, but in the winter the heaters are on, so dress light or in layers! If you like a cooler room temperature (which I do), sit in the front. Both areas have a lovely atmosphere.

We had the BEST festive high tea experience and Liah’s service and attention to detail was spectacular. The ambiance, food, drinks and service was on point. Liah went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Overall, we would highly recommend the high tea at the Royal York and will will make this an annual event. The hotel itself was very festive and beautifully decorated, this alone set the tone for the event. Thank you Liah and the Royal York!!!

Was with my nieces for a theatre night - this place was perfect! Awesome attitude from staff - great kids menu, crayons provided for drawing and everyone felt at home (with a couple of memorable pieces of artwork resulting). Loved the menu choices for kids and adults. Perfect for pre-show dining) - and noise level still allowed for easy conversation. Will return!
