Aleria

They have done a great job with their Christmas decorations which really lightens up the moods. We enjoyed our Christmas drinks in a fun and lively atmosphere; everyone was enjoying themselves either drinking and hanging out with friends, or taking photos with the Christmas decorations! Lol We ordered “ S’mores in the Rocks”, “Elf’s Elixir” and “Christmas Mule”. We got lucky that our drinks were served in three different cute mugs, which we really enjoyed. The drinks are good and definitely hit the spot.

The waitress, Eleanor, is amazing! My boyfriend and I decided to visit Aleria after seeing multiple videos showcasing how beautifully it was decorated for Christmas, and we were excited to enjoy some festive drinks and a cozy meal. We knew there would be a wait, and the manager kindly informed us that it would be about two hours. We put our names on the list and returned when we were second in line. We were seated on the lower level, and Eleanor, our waitress, was the one who took us to our table. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long to realize that sitting there was a huge mistake—there were two large parties, and the noise from one of them was overwhelming. It was nearly impossible to have a conversation, and we were pretty frustrated. We asked Eleanor if there was any way to move to a quieter spot, and though she initially had no luck, she was incredibly understanding. After we expressed how difficult it was to enjoy the meal in that environment and that we were contemplating leaving and going somewhere else, she didn’t hesitate to check with the manager again. She returned shortly after with great news—she’d moved us to the best table in the restaurant with a fantastic view. Eleanor’s service was above and beyond. She was polite, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience. She truly understood where we were coming from, and it made all the difference. Even though she wasn’t our server for the rest of the evening, she stopped by to check on us later to ensure everything was going well, which is the kind of legendary service you don’t see often. Thanks to Eleanor, we had a wonderful evening, and we will definitely be back to Aleria. Her attentiveness and kindness made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommend this restaurant as it is beautiful, cozy and the food is amazing as well!

My friend and I passed this place and decided to check it out. To say that they were busy on a Wednesday night is an understatement!! They have the cutest Christmas decorations and drinks! Would love to go again and try their food.

Walked in here because of all the Christmas decor; it definitely caught our eye. A Christmas speakeasy vibe. Greeted with a warm welcome from bubbly staff. It naturally got brought up that we were celebrating my birthday. One of the staff members quickly brought over complimentary shots on behalf of the celebration. They were super tasty and smooth. The Christmas theme doesn’t stop at the decor, they have a whole Christmas drink menu that is accompanied in the cutest Christmas mugs. We got the S’mores on the Rocks and the Christmas Mule; both so delicious! 10/10 recommend this place if you’re walking by…or Christmas lovers.

This is my first time in Toronto and we discovered this restaurant was doing their first annual Christmas bar ! We’re from Nova Scotia and it was such a great experience! The decor was absolutely beautiful they really went all out. The service was also amazing I was worried it would be a long wait for drinks and food because it was so busy but we had our drinks within 5 mins of ordering them. Our server Sean was awesome and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a great experience and the food was so yummy. I had the tiramisu espresso martini, and it was fabulous! 10/10 recommend.

Let me start by saying this place is fabulous. They’ve invested in making the atmosphere feel cozy and I was impressed by the effort of the decor. Great ambience and wonderful service; the staff make you feel welcomed and have good attention to detail. There is plenty of seating options for small and large groups. The food was pretty good and decently priced. I had the Spanakopita which was 8/10, the Lamb Chops with Mashed Potatoes which was 7/10 and the Dulce de Leche cheesecake which was 10/10. Just note their happy hour changed and their website still needs to be updated; it is now 4pm-6pm Monday to Thursday.

Been wanting to check out the new Mediterranean spot in the neighbourhood for some time! Really enjoyed our dinner and the atmosphere. The decor is stunning. Hot honey jalapeño shrimp & spicy feta dip are great options for apps. Grilled octopus entree was delicious. Good cocktails.
