    Another fantastic food experience at FK last night. This time the much anticipated tasting menu. Past experience with Chefs tasting menus had us excited and again it was outstanding! At FK the tasting menu, is not a sampling of the dinner menu, it consists of unique off menu items that are so flavourful, creative and visually pleasing. The uniqueness really gives you the sense that the food is being prepared just for you. Thanks to the entire crew for a fun night. See you soon.

    Food and service was excellent! They had a table on the patio available when we arrived on a Friday evening, and were able to get us seated promptly. Servers were very friendly and helpful, and the dishes we ordered were nicely presented and delicious. Would definitely recommend!

    We had a perfect appetizers and cocktails experience with our pooch on their lovely patio. Oysters, shrimp and lobster ceviche plus Chef’s delicious bread du jour. Special thanks to Shawn from Summer for the love and water with ice (exceptional service). 🐾❤️❤️

    Its rare I give 5 stars at a restaurant but this one was special. Everything I had put in my mouth was a just an explosion of flavour. From the ribs, to the watermelon feta to the dessert. Everything was on point. This is my new favorite restaurant in the city.

    Ridiculous portions whilst being crazy expensive and to add, the service was non existent. Don’t get the $46 orange blossom sangria, it’ll just be lightly flavoured orange water. It’s 2 stars because we got our zucchini blossoms taken off our bill after saying they tasted shockingly not great.

    My family of four came here to celebrate my birthday. Mind you, my kids are 8 weeks old and 3 years old. FK did a great job accommodating us by putting us in a quiet, lounge seat near the window. We had ample space and a high chair. The service was attentive and prompt. The food was on point. We had the Rockefeller oysters, sweet potato fries, scallops, duck confit risotto. Everything was delicious and well portioned. I would come again!

    There is a meticulous artistry to FK's offering, both in taste and presentation. The onion soup was a visual delight, nestled in a whimsical bird's nest. The oxtail tortellini and sablefish both had flavourful hits with each bite. The kobe short rib might be one of the best melt-in-your-mouth meat dishes in the city. The goat's milk cheesecake was elevated without losing the simple indulgence of a cheesecake. And the passion fruit parfait was all delicate dollops and dome. But the thing that impresses me most about this place is that all this Michelin worthy dishes are served with a charming warmth that you don't always find at fancy places. It's like you've been invited to the home of one of the city's best chefs, and are enjoying a casual dinner with friends. And it's what makes FK a place to go back to again and again.

    It’s been ages since we enjoyed Frank’s - and it was actually our first time at the St Clair location, having frequently dined at the OG College St many many years ago. It is as good and maybe better than it ever was. Fresh ingredients combined in delicious and memorable combinations. The strawberry and Burrata was perfection. Lobster and shrimp ceviche stunned. And the sweet corn agnolotti with truffled noisette was a showstopper. Gorgeous sablefish was almost too pretty to eat. Finished it off with the star berry shortcake - which was the perfect ending. Loved every minute and every bite- one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. We will be back!

    Everything was spectacular last night. We will be back soon. I honestly cannot even describe how f'ing fantastic dinner was. There is no way to convey it to someone who has not tasted Franks creations. Absolutely unbelievable! FK was and is still.... by far.... hands down, the best!

    Went to this restaurant with my bf today to pre-celebrate his birthday. We ordered lobster spaghetti, steak and cheesecake. The food was delicious (especially STEAK!!!) and our server (kris) also really friendly. Personally I think the fries was bit salty.. Again, Thank You for the warm welcoming today ( reception lady )and see you guys next time!!

    What a special restaurant. We went to FK on Saturday night and it was by far one of my favourite dining experiences in the city. Shawn, Frank, and the rest of the FK team really know how to make their guests feel special, from the way we were treated to the quality of ingredients and the love put into our food - you could really taste it. I would 100% recommend FK to anyone who loves great food and an upscale, homey dining experience. Lobster carbonara was outstanding. Thanks again Shawn, Frank, and the team for a really delicious and special dinner. We will definitely be back soon!!

    Yet again, another spectacular meal and top notch service at FK! They always get it right - from the minute you walk in the door to the time you reluctantly need to leave - it's always a thoughtful and client oriented experience. The food was beyond delicious - I had the burrata to start, along with chef Frank's homemade bread (yum!!) followed by the grilled salmon and cauliflower gratin. The salmon was tender on the inside yet crispy on the outside - perfectly executed! And wow, the cauliflower gratin was something else - you must try that when you go! And to finish off, we tried the passion fruit parfait. To say that this dessert was pretty is an understatement - it's so lovely to look at and even better to eat! The little spheres of juice pop in your mouth - so unbelievably delicious! My mouth is watering as I write this which means we'll be headed back there again soon! Thank you for another memorable experience FK - you truly are one of Toronto's best fine dining restaurants.

    I do not think words can describe how amazing the food and service are here. The flavors are rich, portions are hearty, and the team is impeccable. Absolutely amazing experience, and a true gem the city has to off for those looking for a culinary delight.

    We ordered steak and pasta. Steak was fantastic, well seasoned and soft as butter. Pasta was great too. For cocktails, french 45 feels like mojitos and let the sun in feels like Japanese sake. Both refreshed us really well. The server was really kind. Thanks for making our night wonderful.

    I’ve been eating there countless times and I still get amazed by the quality of the food as I’ve had it all! These Summer Corn Agnolottis are without a doubt the best pastas I’ve had in Toronto. There are too many thing to mention when it comes to express how amazing my experiences have been eating at FK, but I will say, the service is outstanding and the cheese cake is to die for If you didn’t give it a try yet you are clearly missing out!

    Had a nice midweek meal with friends here. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. They deserve their all the recognition for the food they have been getting for the years. We had all of the steak options and all were uniquely great. The boar tortellini was the groups hands down favourite.

    From the moment we stepped foot into the remarkable dining establishment, I was warmly welcomed by Shawn, the epitome of hospitality and grace. This exceptional experience was just the beginning of an extraordinary culinary adventure at what I believe to be Toronto's best French restaurant. Under the creative genius of Chef Frank, the mastermind behind the exquisite flavors that danced on my palate, I was transported to a realm where food becomes art. It is no exaggeration to say that Chef Frank may very well be the culinary crown jewel of our city. The wine list at this establishment is nothing short of spectacular. With an extensive selection that caters to the most discerning of oenophiles, it's no wonder that this establishment has been recognized with Wine Spectator's esteemed Award of Excellence. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is its impeccable service. The staff members are a testament to professionalism and attentiveness. Their genuine care and dedication to providing an unforgettable dining experience were evident in every interaction. In the heart of Toronto's vibrant restaurant scene, FK stands as a shining example of everything that is remarkable about our city. It encapsulates the essence of culinary excellence, harmoniously blending artistry, flavor, and ambiance to create an unforgettable experience for its patrons. If I could, I would wholeheartedly give this restaurant six stars. The exceptional quality of the food, the remarkable wine selection, the courteous and attentive staff—each element embodies the pinnacle of what fine dining should be.

    I went there 2 times with my bf and had an amazing time for both. We tried different dishes each time, and every single one of those was soooo tasty. Besides all the staff were friendly and professional. I was especially impressed by the service from the staff called Stephan(Sorry if I spelled it wrong). He was in charge of our table on Nov 5th. He looked very passionate about his work and paid smaller attention to the service, which made our time more memorable. 2nd time when we visited, the table we used was kinda wobbly, but he quickly noticed and fixed it. It was not the big deal, but I do appreciate how considerable his server was. We will definitely come back again. Thank you so much!

    The complimentary bread was unique and delicious, my favorite has to be the olive bread. Oxtail with truffles was amazing, a must try. The side dish of brussels sprouts is the best brussel sprouts I ever have, we ordered it twice. Other dishes was good too, and cocktail is pretty. Price is a little high, but for its quality is good. For sure will come back again.

    Absolutely delicious. The flavours are incredible and the prices are fair but if they were raised I would say too expensive. Everything is made fresh and has wonderful flavours and textures that allow you to enjoy the flavours of the meat and grains themselves. My only comments would be that the music & decor doesn’t scream fine dining, perhaps “modern dining” is more appropriate & the risotto could loose a touch of the cheese (the last 3 bites we’re getting too powerful) but I will certainly be returning and look forward to it. Thank you

    FK provider excellent service and food to our party of 12! Highly recommend! 👌 Tuna tartar and sirloin steak is incredible. It was extremely organized, and they even prepared name cards for each of the guests so they knew exactly where meals would go. Will definitely be back!

    Second time back at FK and had an absolutely fantastic dinner, honestly still savoring the tastes in my mouth. Every dish was incredible, unique in presentation and combination of ingredients, but well controlled and fuses so well together for unbelievable flavours. Must try: tenderloin with fois gras, oxtail tortellini, spotted prawn agnolotti. What an exceptional meal!

    What could be better to elevate a winter movie night at home than some Michelin Guide recommended FK Curbside soo yummy!!! The Kobe short rib was to die for and the homemade bread of course but I’m allll about the passion fruit parfait lol 😊 Everything was ready perfectly on time and still nice and warm when I got it home. Great value for the quality as well. Thank you for restarting the curbside and giving a fun winter night in with some delicious treats! 😊

  • 5/5 Jil A. 1 year ago on Google
    From the complimentary bread to the starters to the mains, everything was SO delicious! The cocktails were great too. Nice big selection of wine. They ran out of the dessert we wanted but we didn't mind, we were already full. The chef instead gave us some complimentary truffle chocolates at the end, which were yummy! Definitely a must try. Everything on the menu is amazing!

    Since 2017 We have being constantly delighted with delectable dishes, outstanding service and care, from the amazing front of the house boss Shawn to the extraordinary, super talented/creative chef Frank the entire staff: front of the house boys, bartender, kitchen and pastry chef. So happy you are NOW venturing to private events and I was able to celebrate my birthday with you all in my favorite restaurant ! We are so grateful. You all did an amazing, outstanding, seamless, delicious, delightful spread of care, food, drinks +++ Thank you for the bottom of our hearts! What lovely DIVINE night to cherished we all had! Heaven!!!! :)

  • 5/5 Cher D. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic experience! Birthday brunch with a friend and from the moment we arrived to farewell the service was top notch. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The team obviously loves their work and it shows. Drinks and dishes were delicious and exceeded our expectations (which were already high). Thank you! Looking forward to a dinner visit in the future.

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 2 years ago on Google
    WOW! I am at a loss for words at how amazing this dinner was. It was “simply the best” and utterly delicious. Thank you to the entire FK team for the delectable food. The food looked GORGEOUS and tasted superb. We ordered pick-up (due to the pandemic) and ordered the antipasto plate, crab cakes, ravioli, lamb, fish, and grilled vegetables. Every single dish was special and had my taste buds singing. Each bite was better than the next! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu items! Seriously, this was one of the best dinners I have had in Toronto. As for pick-up, everything was labelled and packaged perfectly, so it made the dinner very easy and special despite being at home. But, if you're lucky to eat in person (now that restaurants have opened again!), the restaurant is stunning and has a great vibe and atmosphere. Shawn, Chef Frank and the entire FK team are WONDERFUL people and have great customer service. We are a big "foodie" family and have eaten at Toronto's best restaurants and FK takes the top spot. My new favourite and I will be returning often!!! Thank you Shawn and Chef Frank for running a truly special restaurant!

    My friends introduced me to this gem and I have been frequently coming to dine here for quite a few years now. The food is exceptional, detail oriented and the flavours are just elevating. The owner and staff are very friendly, appreciative and value you coming back , which makes you feel special. The food is carefully made in house, they even bake their own bread! Standards are held high, that's why you always need a reservation!

  • 5/5 Erik M. 2 years ago on Google
    I frequent this marvelous place every couple of days since I enjoy the ambiance that is unique to this restaurant. The team is extremely helpful and experienced. The service is extremely rapid. Not to mention, the food you eat is highly distinguished. I frequent often and I was never disappointed. The cost is modest. I highly suggest this place to to all.

    Spectacular patio evening at FK Wine Bar! From cocktails and bread service, a fantastic meal and exceptional desserts! This neighbourhood is very lucky to have Frank Parhizgar and Shawn Cooper with such amazing hospitality! ❤️ Highly recommended! Make a reservation.

  • 5/5 Liloo A. 4 months ago on Google
    It was my first time at FK and it did not disappoint. The food, service and ambiance just blew me and my dinner date away . The bread starter always made in house daily was beautifully presented. Our appetizers and mains were masterfully executed. We had the sticky toffee and the pear sorbet and both were divine. Can’t wait to be back again! 🙏🙏🙏 for the great experience.

  • 5/5 FoodieAlesio 4 months ago on Google
    By far, FK is THE BEST CONSISTENT restaurant (no small feat and the benchmark of excellence) and my favourite restaurant period. I have been dinning for over 10 years from when they were on College. The food, incredible, the service incredible, and if you can believe it, the best steak for a non steak restaurant. I would normally not right a review especially for my favourite restaurant as I do not want to fight for a reservation, however after so many years of patronage and NEVER being disappointed, how could I not.

  • 5/5 Kate P. 2 years ago on Google
    Our dinner at FK was excellent! Such lively flavours!!. We started with the crab cakes which were excellent, as were the champagne lobster risotto and the halibut and clams in tomato bisque. A1 all the way! Thank you Frank and Shawn!

  • 5/5 Chloe W. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything is just perfect. Definitely love the food there and people are very friendly. Wish they have more options for meat lovers. Would go again when they change menus next time.

  • 5/5 Femme F. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been going to this restaurant since they were originally located on College. I keep going back for several reasons as follows in no specific order. It feels like family. Shawn the hostess greets you like you are a long lost friend, she smiles and is genuninly happy to see you. The staff & service is excellent. They are very knowledgeable about their wines/cocktails and the food being served. And the food, my god, the food has alawys been excellent. I have never been disappointed by any of the dishes I have ever had. I was there with a couple of friends this past Saturday for the early seating. It was the 1st restaurant that I've been to since they reopened, and they did not disappoint. The level of excellence became even more apparent as later that evening I had to meet friends at another resuarant downtown. I look forward to going again very soon, as I know, I am guaranteed a great evening.
