The Good Son is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.

The Good Son is a neighbourhood restaurant and bar embracing the local Toronto culture. Stop by for a quick drink or a quick bite, or to stay the entire night and eat and drink whatever and wherever they like. The Good Son’s menu is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified Toronto, with a focus on local and seasonal organic produce, hormone free and free range proteins, and most importantly, shared food. The menu is designed so that guests are encouraged to share plates, to create the ultimate social dining experience. The heart of the kitchen is the wood-fired oven – not only used for traditionally made pizza, but we also feature diverse items being roasted in the wood oven.

The problem with announcing to the world your restaurant founder was a Top Chef Canada finalist is the expectation it sets. When I heard about this place I went in thinking there's going to be a unique menu with some funky takes on traditional food. Unfortunately the menu takes a formulaic and uninspired approach to selling food with standard fare to appease the broadest audience possible. No wow factor to remember the restaurant for. I would encourage the chefs to try and create a signature dish they can stand behind (that isn't a generic burger).

One of the best restaurants we’ve been to so far! They accommodated our group of 5 + baby so well, giving us lots of space and attention! Happy hour was 5-7, plus 1/2 bottles of wine, which almost felt too good to be true. Our waitress even went through the process of finding a natural wine for us, and the whole experience felt so relaxed and comfortable. Water glasses were always filled, empty plates and cups cleared instantly. The little things really make the biggest difference. It never felt too noisy, but just busy enough to enjoy privacy in our conversation, and atmospheric noise. We recommend to anyone looking for a special place to take family or friends, this will not disappoint and is worth every cent! Also our highlight was the Short Ribs, even the baby went crazy for them!

I had so much fun with my friends at this location! We got rib eye steak, margharita and prosciutto wood oven pizzas plus a glass of verbo! A fantastic time was had. The antique vibe with the clocks and plates was so fun.

Great place for drinks/food, cocktails were good, food was great, we tried the gnocchi and it was so good!. Staff were super friendly and gave us great recommendations. We went on a Saturday night without a reservation and there was no waiting time. I’m coming back soon

Restaurant with great personality, very aesthetic and spacious, when it is not busy (Friday and Saturday night). It has a great variety of dishes, but unfortunately that day they only served pizzas, so we couldn't try different dishes on the menu, despite that we will return. The pizzas where good!

We came here one night as my sister and brother-in-law wanted to treat us. They had been here before and recommended coming here. We had a pretty good table. It was a booth on the side so there was plenty of room for the five of us. The server was extremely friendly and offered to change a holiday drink that wasn’t very tasty. The food came out quickly and was very delicious. My 7 year old daughter ate pretty much all of her pizza. Overall, we could come back again.

Great date night place! The mushroom papardelle was my favorite dish alongside the steak tartare. The mushroom pasta was so flavorful and pasta was cooked perfectly! We also ordered a pizza which was huge. It had fantastic charred crust! The atmosphere was interesting too like dining in an 1800s mansion. Pay attention to the decor if you ever eat there!
