Restaurants near Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport

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

Fantastic Christmas Eve Dinner! The bone-in filet was stellar. All the starters and sides were delicious and top it off with great service.

Delicious breakfast and great drinks. Wonderful service by all.

Our food was excellent. Two of us had the beef strip loin and the other person had the salmon. We shared the carrot salad and the beet salad. Both were excellent! Our server was very good, but both he and the other server in the room looked to be run off their feet. (I think that many patrons were leaving at the same time to attend a concert across the street.) Overall, we had a great experience even though it was a little rushed at the end so we could get to our concert on time.

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.
