The food here was great, and service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful, seemed to know many of the other patrons at the restaurant. We had a patio seat because the weather was nice, there was lots of space and it's some nice seating, but some of the patio tables will be on the sidewalk area, but this is to be expected in most restaurants in the area. We had the Oysters, which are $2 after 4pm, and mussels and Seabass, which were all excellent. There's a green P parking lot across the street that is reasonably priced for the evenings.

I made a reservation to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary with my partner. We’ve never been to this restaurant and so thought we’d give it a try given the great reviews online. We were greeted and seated to our table even though we were 15mins early. The host was super friendly and was able to accommodate us ahead of our reservation time. Upon seated to our table we were given food and drinks menu. We then proceeded to order a couple of cocktails to start, oysters as starts, mains (sea bass and bouillabaisse) then lastly tea and dessert to wrap up the night. The food was great and the price point was on the higher end so you’d think the level of service would match that. Unfortunately throughout the night our waiter was not as attentive to our table( 2people) as the table of 4 next to us. Not sure why because we ordered quite a lot from the menu so not sure what went wrong there. It definitely was disappointing since it was our anniversary dinner date and I was the one who picked the restaurant thinking it’d be a great experience for both of us. Nonetheless the food was great.

Beautiful restaurant on Yonge Street. The food is amazing, the pasta was cooked to perfection. Service was ok. But it is a beautiful restaurant for a nice long lunch.

I have had Sorrell bookmarked for a while after two friends recommended this place, and finally found the opportunity to make a reservation for my best friend's birthday celebration yesterday. I'll divide my review in two parts, the food and the service. The food: We ordered a Dirty Dog and a French Martini for drinks, Roasted Beets and Steak Tartare for apps, and the Clam Linguine and Mushroom and Tagliatelle for our mains. Everything we had was absolutely exceptional. A huge shoutout to the seasoning in the Steak Tartare, which both of us agreed was 'phenominal'. Having run a food influencer account for 5+ years and working with restauranteurs in Toronto for my banking job, I have had my fair share of tartares, and these were on the top of my list. The pastas were cooked well and I personally adored how 'un-saucy' they were; it brought out the flavour and the texture of the dishes. We decided to pass on the dessert mainly due to what I'll be mentioning under the service below. The service: Unfortunately, the service was disappointing to say the least. We are decently fast eaters, and the entire meal took 2 hours, mostly spent waiting to order and for water. It took our server close to 20 minutes to come around and take our drink order (at that time, the patio space was about 20% full). After that, it was another long wait until he's back to take our food order. When we wanted our water refilled during our appetizers, it was almost impossible to flag him down or get his attention. This got me trying hard to look for him, because we were pretty thirsty at that time (we had half a small-ish wine glass of water only and we were eager to get some more so we can continue to enjoy the Tartare!). I started noticing that he was visiting quite frequently, other tables he was waiting - checking up on them, filling their water glasses, asking about temperature, making small talk, etc. He walked by our table 12 times to another table without bothering to look at our empty glasses or check in on us once. When I tried to flag him down when he walked by a few times, but he seemed like he had his mind completely occupied at other tables (I'd like to assume he was not fully ignoring us). I hated to do this, but we had to ask a different server who came around collecting our plates to refill our water. I won't go into more details, so in short, the next time we spoke to him, he was at our table offering the dessert menu. Clearly, we had no appetite for desserts. Safe to say, as much as I love the food here, I will not be recommending or revisiting this space, especially if you're looking for a special celebration and want service that live up to the amazing food. In addition, I don't want to make assumptions as to why we were mistreated, but we did notice that we were the only two East Asians on the side of the tables of the patio.

Some of our food was under seasoned and some of the seafood tasted a bit off, but we enjoyed the ravioli and the raw meat appetizers like steak tartar. Overall I wouldn’t go back considering the price vs. quality.

I really wanted to like this restaurant, as I've been following them for a while and my experience was just very disappointing. The service was okay, the food was cold and just not very flavourful at all. The restaurant felt a bit dated and dark as well. I only took a photo of one of the dishes because nothing really stood out in presentation either.

3.5 out of 5. Overall the restaurant was decent, but not amazing. It does very well for what it is: a higher-end French restaurant, in Rosedale, that is the perfect place to bring older parents. Great decor, with excellent service and inoffensive food. Our waiter gets 5/5. He was attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. The dishes were competently made, plated well, and tasted good, but lacked creativity or whimsy, and heavily relied on butter. On their own, they didn’t justify the high price point. For example, their fried chicken was fine, but not $30 good. The Buffalo mozzarella was also what you would get at any restaurant in Toronto. This place clearly exists to cater to a certain demographic, and i wasn’t it

We initially had a reservation at another restaurant but decided to change it up last minute and we chose Sorrel. It did not disappoint at all. The atmosphere, the food and our server TJ were nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend

Fancy little spot - a French restaurant that strives to deliver authentic European experience and service. The menu was a little too narrow for my preference. I did order the healthiest dish on the menu but the portion was a bit too light and small. It’s a little on the high end price but the experience was nonetheless unique. The only thing that annoys me is that there is no menu online and their web presence is insufficient in helping you make a decision if you are unfamiliar with this restaurant. Leads me to believe that people who come here are locals and know the place and their menu.

A perfect place for a delicious meal! One of my new favourite places. The caesar salad has to be one of the best I've ever had! Pictured here are the shrimp cocktail, the daily special which was grilled branzino, rack of lamb, mushroom tagliatelle pasta with truffles, and some fabulous wine. The food and service was spectacular. Highly recommend and all star 5 service. Def going back.🤩

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. The Fried Calamari, Duck Confit, Tagliatelle (mushrooms), Bouillabaisse, and Braised Beef Short Ribs are perfect. The Duck Confit is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. You won't need a knife. The broth for the Bouillabaisse is infused with saffron, which gives it a very rich aroma and taste. Every bite of the Tagliatelle (mushrooms) is underscored with truffle, which balances really well with the mushrooms. Their Braised Beef Short Ribs are so fall-of-the-bone tender that you won't need a knife. And the Potato Gratin that accompanies the dish bursts with flavour.

A delightful french cuisine in Toronto (personally I think it’s one of the best in town). They have a broad choice of wine, with various price levels, countries, made and taste. I’m sure there’ll be one bottle that suits you and your party. I’m most impressed by their duck confit. It had the ideal amount of fat meat ratio, so it didn’t feel too fatty nor dry. The red wine paired perfectly with it. The atmosphere and service were very pleasant. Highly recommend for a date night and/or special occasion.

Nice and friendly staff. I would say the outside tables are a bit small for two people having food and appetizers. The calamari was really tasty. Roasted beets salad was refreshing and good. The only problem was I asked for a medium-rare steak but as you see in the photo it wasn’t right. I told them about it and unfortunately they didn’t agree with me. Loved the butter and bread. Bread was warmed up which is really great.

Great food at a great price. Loved it. Was here for the second time this Friday. Very nice. Tried my first raw oysters...loved them. The cocktails were great I had Tipperary and a Moscow Mule. The waiter was great, the food better, the company lovely. The grilled calamari is really good. We will be back.

EXCELLENT! From food to service, and to survive and serve this affluent neighbourhood since 2010, speaks for itself. You won't regret it. Wonderful experience. Highly Recommended.

Really enjoyed the food here. Staff was quick and efficient. Place was busy but it wasn't so loud that we had to yell to have a conversation. The biggest issue with the food was the lack of seasoning in the cauliflower puree under the seared scallops. That's probably the only thing.

Came here to celebrate our anniversary. The ambience was really nice and I also like the bright and well-lit restaurant. For a Wednesday night in the middle of a storm, it was quite packed. Our host was alright, not very warm/helpful with suggestions but did his job well and was also kind to take photos for us. The food was quite good. The grilled octopus, linguine and duck confit stood out! We had a flourless chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert which was also nice. I had mentioned it was our anniversary dinner ahead and when we arrived but I still had to ask for a candle for the dessert; there was pretty much no acknowledgement of the celebration which is unlike other restaurants I've visited. Otherwise, it was a nice experience but I doubt I'll be back.

My friend and I came here for her birthday and we had a great experience! Our server was incredibly nice and informative of their special menu. I had the hanger steak and my friend had the duck confit and both meats were fresh and delicious. Definitely a spot to check out for a special occasion!

Food not as good as I expected but in general nice. Feels more like a family French style restaurant. Service is great staff are nice and atmosphere is very nice!

Sorrel with their French Mediterranean inspired menu, it’s a perfect spot to chill. All the dishes we tried were great. Amazing value for the $2 oyster (if that is your kinda thing) Reservation is highly recommended as they have a full house every time we went. Great atmosphere. Lunch from Mon-Fri. Dinner only for Sat and closed on Sunday.

Went for Valentine’s Day, was really delicious: definitely a fancy restaurant, but the atmosphere is cozy, elegant and upscale. We really enjoyed our dinner and time. the staff were amazing, very attentive and very wonderful.

My husband and I dined here in February. It was a great romantic atmosphere with an amazing menu of delicious items and drinks. We sat at the bar and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. The food. Reasonable portions and flavourful. Can't get enough. Would definitely recommend and will visit again!

Scallops in every dish we had was not fresh. No matter it is the small or big scallops. Food tastes good if the price is a few bucks less.

Delicious food, lovely ambiance and a convenient location! Sorrel is a fantastic place for dinner. There are plenty of options on the menu from steak frites to mushroom tagliatelle. I loved the beet salad and my husband enjoyed some mussels. The server was extremely friendly and attentive.

Ymm! Steak tartare was chewy and even slippery. The duck confit was memorable. Crunchy and very well-done. Ice cream was...mmmm.

Food was sublime. Oysters and shrimp as a starter. Escargot special next, followed by duck breast special with roasted veg and blueberry port reduction for me and cacio pepe spaghetti for my partner. Service was attentive and pleasant, and the atmosphere was pleasing and comfortable. There are so many other items I want to try on this diverse menu. My new favourite!!!

We had such a wonderful dinner at Sorrel. Our friends have highly recommended it so we thought we’d try it ourselves! Our server Mohsen was very attentive and offered us great recommendations. Every dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection, we will definitely be return customers!

Food was very well put together, the atmosphere was cozy, elegant and sophisticated. An excellent choice to take a date or for birthdays, anniversary or just a cause dinner I had the sea bass and it was nice and crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside. The steak tartare was a great start too

Been regularly going to Sorrel for the past 3 years and have never been disappointed. Food quality/presentation, service and atmosphere are great. Certainly recommended!
