“ Loved sitting at the bar! Cocktails and food were amazing! ”
“ Amazing service and amazing food. Cocktails were delicious. We overindulged but it was well worth it. Happy to have been here and next time will likely order less but happy to have tried everything. The chef came out and chatted a bit too. Very cute atmosphere and perfect for a date night or catch-up with friends. ”
“ Consistent excellent execution. Staff is always super friendly. Food is always GREAT. Best burger, best fries, best ceaser and always a tasty dessert. The star of the show is the consistent attention to detail; the lemon seeds are removed from the lemon wedge, the beer glass is the most glorious beer glass known to human kind. The little things make the difference. 10/10 just a consistent, great local spot. ”
“ Everything was amazing! We had the crackers and cheese, shrimp cocktail and the wedge salad to start and nothing was short of incredible. The steak was cooked perfectly, and had a chance to try the burger and chicken sandwich--all super yummy! The service was friendly and non pretentious. The only thing to note is there is a bit of a wait, no problem because there are a lot of bars in the area to grab a quick drink while waiting for your table. 10/10 I would recommend and return! ”
“ I love this place. The menu is simple but delicious. We always order the Caesar salad, which is perfectly made. The cocktail menu is good and very well presented. I’ve tried the burger, which is excellent, and the chicken sandwich, which I also highly recommend. The service is efficient and friendly. While the prices aren’t cheap, I think they’re reasonable for the quality they offer. The portions are a bit on the smaller side, though. Overall, Dotty’s is definitely a great spot to eat in Toronto. ”
“ Dotty’s keeps it simple and that’s arguably a large part of the attraction. Minimalist decor and a quiet atmosphere allows patrons the chance to fully enjoy the delicious choices presented on the also simple but regularly updated menu. The food served is of remarkable quality and the care and attention is apparent in both presentation and taste. The staff (servers, management, kitchen crew alike) are always warm, relaxed and friendly. One always feels as if they are amongst friends when dining at Dotty’s. Thanks for being so great! ”
“ I’ve been here four (actually many more) times, and loved it each time. Dotty’s is consistently good. A beautiful simple no-nonsense meal with quality ingredients and prepared with care. Prices are very fair and service is wonderful! A great neighbourhood gem. Highly recommend the squid, so good I ordered two! The aged steak is always so perfectly cooked and full of flavour, pickerel beautiful, Thai pork belly was meltingly sticky and tender, new wedge salad gorgeous! Run, don’t walk to Dotty’s... go early if you want a table! And I forgot, the soft serve is a must order if you have room, big enough for sharing and a deal at 10. Thank you Dotty’s for another wonderful evening! Update: four months later and we’ve been coming back with family and friends. Menu sometimes changes slightly but always consistent and deliciously good. Came to try the cheeseburger but didn’t get a photo as we all inhaled it. It’s incredible! Juicy, tender, full of flavour. We love Dotty’s! Thank you chef Jay and team! Updated June 13/24: Always fun spurr-of-the-moment place for dinner. Always nice to be greeted by same staff and owners. Our family’s favourite because it feels like home, and food again just simple but good! Fish always amazing with veg, thanks again Jay and team for a fun evening. Updated July 9/24: delicious pickerel with fennel, dessert is mango softserve with raspberry sauce, and light-as-air, no-bake cheesecake with blueberry sauce. Omg soooo good! Thanks again for a wonderful dinner! ”
“ Dotty’s is an absolute gem! If you’re in the area I highly recommend making them a priority visit. The Menu is very simple in the best way. The food feels very cozy and comforting. Simple yet memorable. We got the Fish and Veg which was Trout for us though I think the fish rotates. The Dessert was the real star of the show. Mango Soft Serve with a Blackberry sauce. The atmosphere is very welcoming, staff is so friendly and helpful and the Patio is very nice. The bill was extremely affordable for the amount of food and beverages we had. Everything was positive and I will absolutely be coming back regularly. ”
