Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Parkdale

Our family had a reservation at GIA, but at the last minute, our two younger teens decided to join us. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, the management/owner went out of their way to accommodate the change. Their effort allowed us to all dine together, turning the evening into a truly special family get-together. On top of being together, the food was absolutely incredible—it added so much to the experience! Thank you, GIA, for going above and beyond to make it a memorable family night. We’re so grateful for your kindness and hospitality!

I was excited to try Bar Clams as a special new year ring in treat for myself. I made the right choice! I had no expectations, knowing very little about the east coast inspired joint; aside from the incomparable Matty Matheson at the helm of this new establishment. I would highly recommend to anyone with a tastebud for real, delectable feel-good seafood dishes and then some. Chefs Kiss!

Waitress was a big aggressive about collecting a money deposit for tables larger than 6. Once dinner was stated they broke a glass bottle on the table while serving .

Michael is the goat. He is the best restaurant staff member I’ve ever seen. Go here if you want to be treated right.

The service and ambiance was great. Notable dishes were the challah and fluke and fennel. The fries were perfectly crispy and the broccoli was very flavourful. However, the ribeye was average, it lacked flavour but cooked properly yo medium rare.
