Customer Reviews
Food was good but nothing too special. Tried the burger, was a bit dry. However, they have possibly the best homemade chocolate chip cookie in the city. Make sure you ask for it warmed up, you won’t be dissatisfied. Overall a great place to eat.
Always a great outing at The Senator! Wonderful selection of hot beverages, but we all miss the milkshakes. The pancakes used to better, as well. Now, they are a little too doughy and dense, whereas they were lighter with a slight crisp of caramelization on the outsides previously. Service was very good, but everything took a very long time to get orders in and get food and drinks. Otherwise would've been 5 stars across the board! Will definitely be back again!
Ouaw... Après 10 jours dans la province de Québec, c'est dans ce restaurant à Toronto que je choisis de déguster mes premiers pancakes canadiens. Et quel régal ! Alors oui, le tarif est un peu élevé mais la qualité est bien là et la quantité aussi. Trois pancakes (avec myrtilles ou bananes en plus si vous le souhaitez) comme ceux-là et vous sortez de table rempli et comblé, prêt pour attaquer une journée de marche dans la ville. Le service est au top. Je garde un très bon souvenir de cet endroit et le recommande.
Très bon mais Très cher pour déjeuner. Mais le gros problème: Je demande que des oeufs vu que je ne peux pas prendre de gluten, il me mettre en confiance sur un meilleur plat en me disant que c'est sans gluten. Totalement faux, c'était plein de gluten, ma conjointe qui est seulement intolérante a eu des symptômes et moi qui en est allergique j'ai été malade comme un cochon. Non seulement le serveur me le certifiait mais le cook aussi que cetait sans gluten... Bravo, de bel vacance a vomir toute la journée... ENGLISH: I ask for eggs only because i must eat gluten free food. They certified that i can eat other things. So they helped me for a better choice. But it was totaly false.. (i ate not only a litle bit gluten but a bunch of it..) i spent all the day sick and vomiting due of that. And i know my symptoms very well, i can certified that this breakfast had many gluten..
