We had the tasting menu and received exceptional service from Marcela! She absolutely made our night. We had an incredible tasting menu (thank you Chef Quinten!) that was a fantastic value for the price. We loved it so much that we booked a reso for brunch the next morning. Brunch was equally fabulous and the service was fantastic as well.

I absolutely love simpl things. Chef Cody’s food is always outstanding and the cocktails are always a highlight. I just recently tried they’re new concept and would highly recommend.

FOOD: too bad and too slow. • Croquetas: no flavors, taste like a simple deep fried potato ball. • Pappardelle: pasta sitting in a bowl of water, undercooked and meat is mushy, zero flavor in it. • Wedge salad (add steak): the lettuce is underneath mountain of dressing, there're 5 slices of steak added to my salad and they're very chewy. DRINKS: • "Fresh" orange juice: is poured out from bottle and it took them 40 mins to serve it. • Coffee is made from tiny home coffee machine. SERVICE: my juice is served after 40 mins and food is over an hour. No apologize, no explanation what so ever. There's only 1 person in the kitchen cooking for about 6 tables there. VIBE: tiny restaurant that they tried to squeeze in as many seats as possible. It's so tight and uncomfortable sitting in there, tables are too small. It's lack of air to breath as there're too many people in a small room so people have to open the window although it was not a warm day.

Great brunch, wonderful atmosphere. We had The Weekday Fry Up, and Shaksugo (crispy polenta fries - yum!) with original martinis to start, and espresso martini. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back 😁

Checked out this place for dinner on Wednesday April 24, 2024 and wow! What a culinary experience. It’s small and cozy with amazingly kind and attentive staff. The food is delicious as are the drinks. The ambiance and decor is easily my favourite I’ve seen in all of toronto. I cannot wait to be back! I truly felt like I was getting a Michelin star experience with the mouth watering taste of the dishes, with affordable pricing. I don’t post reviews unless I absolutely love something or totally hate it, so the fact that I’m writing this means a lot. What a gem of a spot! Oh, and make sure to try their dessert- wow! Tons if veggie options on the menu too :)

Cute local spot with cool decor and delicious food. Stopped in on a whim on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30. Was seated immediately. Service was friendly and attentive. Was recommended a steak sandwich on special and it did not disappoint. Also enjoyed the croquettes and wedge salad. Prices were roughly $14-25 a dish. Portions are reasonable and the food was delicious. Cocktails were tastey. Beer is served in cans and approx. $7-$9 a piece. Would be happy to return.

Hidden gem! The vibes are pleasant and while the food + drinks are a bit pricey they're so good! Our server was very helpful with recommendations, decor has a unique pretty ambiance with fun pops of colour and even the bathroom is cute. I'd definitely return to dine on the patio now that it's open with more friends (it's a little squishy inside with small tables, so I don't recommend big groups!). I really enjoyed my avocado toast.

Cocktails were good. We had the late night menu and it felt really pricey for the portion size ($17 for fried mushrooms, there were about 5-6 mushrooms). The food was imaginative but didn’t feel worth the price. Update: I returned to simpl things about a year after leaving the above review and I am way more impressed! I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken, and it was delicious - crispy chicken, savoury cheese, just an extremely well put together and high quality plate! I’ve raised my rating to four stars.
