Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Yorkdale

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

They knock our socks off every time. Each corner of the menu is worth exploring! The classics, the specials, the wine list and the desserts!!! (This time we had a glutinous rice cake with a brûlée’d top and it was life changing). One of the best and most consistent spots in the city ❤️

I love eating at Clay and at the end of our meal I said to my lunch guest, 'This is my favourite place to have lunch in Toronto!' The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming and always treat us like family. We had a wonderful window table and looking across at the ROM is special. The room is bright and airy and the noise level moderate making it easy to have great conversation. The food was really delicious and creative and I look forward to my next visit in January.

We had a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was excellent. Service was very good. The decor is warm and comfortable. We look forward to returning,

Great spot! Great food!great service! Live music!!
