Eastside Social

Not a tone of gluten free options but the corned beef hash with egg was really good. Worth it for brunch. Took a while to get our drinks, we actually got them after our food. But everything was good

First time patrons - soon to return for more. The owners were very kind and the service was great! Yummy food too - we ordered the Salmon Benny’s and the smash burger. 👍

First time visiting the restaurant. Was accepted as a single table on an early Friday evening with ease and was given nothing but 5 star treatment from arrival to departure. It was a celebratory night, and needless to say, I was not disappointed! The Atlantic salmon is the epitome of phenomenal taste. The green curry as a foundation was for lack of a better word, addictive. To the point that my server offered me a spoon once the remainder of the dish was finished - to which I was obliged and cleared the bowl of everything but the garnish. Each element of the dish itself has clearly been planned to a calculated perfection and it all forms into a complimentary blend of flavours. I had the Rosie to drink (mocktail equivalent of the Dill on Dill - which I need to go back and try when I am able) and it paired perfectly with the main dish. The hint of dill and citrus brought out even more of the salmon’s perfectly cooked notes. The cheesecake was my finisher and the tartness of the coulis that comes with it was an excellent end to my visit. Joey is an exceptional presence and was very attentive to all guests present. Leslie was a perfect server and made my experience that much more better. Will be back!

Cozy romantic atmosphere, interesting menu full of unique flavours and great friendly service. The Kung Pao Broccoli, Pork Belly and Ceviche were all delicious highlights. Will definitely come back!

Made a reservation here for my dad's bday. It took a while to get seated, however, we did arrive a tad early for our reservation. Once seated, you have to scan a QR code for the menu (would have preferred paper menus). The vibes of the dining room were the study of an interesting and worldly person, with a cozy decor, bookcases and fishing decor (but a modern touch). The food we ordered was on the smaller size for portion size however the food was delicious. The server was nice and was able to provide a dessert free of charge for my dad. We will be coming back here for sure! (P.S. 2 for 1 oysters on Wednesdays!)

Tl;dr - wonderful food, great service, fantastic patio and ambiance. Ended up with a full blown 3-course meal during a Saturday evening dinner. The burrata was absolutely to die for -- with the perfect mixture of grapes, pesto, nuts and EVOO! The seabass ceviche was slightly heavier than most ceviche but flavourful, tangy, perfectly acidic and a hint of sweetness to break up the monotony. For mains, we tried the shiitakii bowl and the PEI Mussles . Both were hearty and plentiful with lots of flavour! Mussles were fresh and the garlic wine sauce had nice heat which went well with the bread. Finally, we tried both desserts, neither of them 'wowed' us but they were both well executed. The flour less chocolate cake was dense, chocolatety but after a few bites, it was hard to finish as it lacked a bit of acid to cut the sweetness. The eastside mess was lighter, the chantilly cream was delightful with the berries, but missed out a bit on a fuller umami flavour. Overall, loved the restaurant and the entire experience!

Great restaurant. The food is amazing and beautifully presented. Really enjoyed the sea bass ceviche, the broccoli and the calamari! Lovely covered and heated back patio. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, they treat you like family as soon as you walk on the door. A leslieville institution!

We had a fantastic experience at the Eastside Social. Our party of 4 didn’t have a reservation on a Friday night and the busy Eastside social was so accommodating and lovely. We had drinks by the bar while we waited for a table to become available and boy, let me tell you- they were so good! Dinner was fantastic, definitely order the eggplant crisps! The olives were nostalgic, tasted just like my uncles olives from Italy. Our mains (pictured) were very satisfying, big portions, and had so much flavour. Service was exceptional and so friendly - going above and beyond! Not to mention when we left, they still remembered our name. We would definitely recommend the Eastside Social and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for having us!
