Always a great outing at The Senator! Wonderful selection of hot beverages, but we all miss the milkshakes. The pancakes used to better, as well. Now, they are a little too doughy and dense, whereas they were lighter with a slight crisp of caramelization on the outsides previously. Service was very good, but everything took a very long time to get orders in and get food and drinks. Otherwise would've been 5 stars across the board! Will definitely be back again!

A beautiful, cozy restaurant, this is actually Toronto's oldest, established in the 1920s. We got wine and cosmopolitan for drinks their food was good too but they restaurant on too closes pretty early around 8 the bar downstairs on the other hand stays open much longer.

The food is pretty underwhelming for a highly rated place. Neither the egg Benedict nor the French toast stood out in anyway. Overpriced got what you get so I would not recommend.

I loved the vibe and ambiance of the place, unfortunately, I didn't quite enjoy the food. The restaurant had a charming atmosphere and the service was prompt and friendly. However, the breakfast options didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of flavor and quality. Despite this, I appreciate the effort put into creating a welcoming environment.

What a delightful place for brunch. Staff was so polite and friendly. The food service was quick. The food was hot and delicious. Had eggs benedict - salmon. Veg option with Avocado. Peach pancakes- with some fruit, syrup, butter n whipped cream. Delicious, delicious, delicious. There is a reason why this place has been going strong after so many decades. Please visit, highly recommended. My new favourite for brunch in the city.

I really enjoyed this spot for brunch and coffee. The Senator Restaurant offers good variety of breakfast and brunch options. The egg benedict that I ordered along with the homefries side were amazing. Service was also spot on and the waitress was very attentive and the food came our pretty quick. The ambiance and atmosphere were also great.

Came here for brunch with some friends. Service was good and our server was friendly. The mimosas were reasonably priced compared to other places. The food was decent and they had a decent selection of foods but a bit on the pricier side from what I was expecting. I wouldn’t mind coming again for sure because it had a cozy vibe to it and overall had a good experience.
