LIBRARY BAR

The atmosphere is great. The foods and drink are fine. But the waitress somehow is disrespectful to me. I had New Year’s dinner at your bar today and ordered a drink that I personally found quite strong. While I was chatting with the customer at the table next to me after we asked for bill, your waitress rudely contradicted me, saying that the drink I thought was strong was not. Her attitude was unfriendly, and she completely ignored me to talk with the guests at the neighboring table instead. This made me feel excluded. I chose your establishment to celebrate New Year’s Eve, but being treated like this left me deeply disappointed.

Excellent Service and Delicious Food!" We had a wonderful dining experience today. Our server, Anwar, was exceptional. He was incredibly patient and kind, offering helpful suggestions for our drinks and dessert. His recommendations were spot on! The ambiance of the restaurant was very pleasant, and the quality and taste of the food were truly mind-blowing.All the staff members we encountered were also very patient and attentive.

Nov2024 Definitely deserves its place as one of the most wonderful bars in Toronto The cocktail menu is heavily curated, well researched and creatively presented. The printed menu is a joy to peruse and enlisits a fun conversation with your server, who is equal, if not exemplary train to the task, of being knowledgeable and helpful and very attending. Desserts are culinary masterpieces and blends well with the drinks in both palete and concept. The atmosphere is relaxing, cozy, and condusive to a relaxed pace. Truly a gem and a must go to destination for visitors. Reservations are a MUST

This is an extremely pleasant spot to get a drink and a snack. Perfect for a date or just an after work drink. Cocktails are absolutely on the expensive side but given the location and quality it's well worth it. The truffle fries are a fantastic snack with a drink. Service was superb - even though it was very busy when I went.

10/10 Experience – Loved Every Minute! Had the best night . The vibe was chef’s kiss—super cozy and just the right atmosphere for a chill evening. Our waiter, was amazing, super friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The drinks? So good. Everything felt really well thought out, from the service to the overall vibe. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of being served by Majid twice during my two most recent visits. I cannot say enough good things about his service—he was knowledgeable, friendly, and exceeding attentive. The food was also great. I highly recommend the french onion soup. There is a great selection of cocktails too—I can’t remember the specific ones I had, but they were all well-presented and very good. I would recommend coming in the afternoon if you prefer a quieter atmosphere. 2-4pm seems to be the sweet spot.

Highly recommend!! We’ve been to the Library Bar many times and have enjoyed each experience. This last experience we had was exceptional. We had a larger group this time of 12 people which is something that can easily complicate things but not here! The service was wonderful starting and continuing with the host, Ilda. You know what they say about first impressions, and to me, that’s the influence that the host has. So a big thank you goes to Ilda and the fabulous Library Bar team!!

I recently dined at this restaurant in the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and tried two salads: the Library Caesar and the Green Goddess Cobb. I especially enjoyed the Green Goddess Cobb—it was absolutely delicious, with a perfect combination of ingredients like eggs, avocado, bacon, chicken, and more. The flavors were well-balanced and fresh. A must-try if you visit!"
