It was a quiet Wednesday night at The Living Room, we sat at a nice table for two by the fire. We ordered Vitelli tonado for an appetizer, it was lovely and just enough to share. I had the lamb shank, it was excellent and very rich with mashed potatoes and gravy. It fell off the bone. My friend had salmon, also cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We didn’t have dessert. Josh was our waiter and was perfect. We waited for nothing, he was there exactly when we needed him. Aaron was the bartender, and he was delightful!! We had their famous “shafts” a great little pick me up; we also had winter wine, like a sangria only prettier and in a martini glass. Cool place, great ambiance. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a fabulous New Year’s Eve at The Living Room. We experienced the Fondue and Bubbles option. The fondue was delish as always. Our server Leigh was fabulous and made the night super enjoyable. One of our favourite restaurants in the city. We will be back!

The Fondue meat was cold, and so was the cheese and chocolate sauce. Very subpar food quality - we visited a week previously and the experience was favorable. We will no longer recommend the location to our friends and business associates. We should not have sent both the meal and dessert back - the quality of the food and temperature of the meat should have been evident and should not have left the kitchen.

Was nice for a relaxing dinner with a friend. Very dark in there, which is okay but not my preference couldn't see my food without using my phone light. Waiter very nice and attentive without hovering. Great wine menu, food was very good but wasn't outstanding

Really loved the food - the fondue is always a standout here honestly. I think the risotto could be cooked a tad bit better ? Nothing that wrong with it but definitely a different taste and vibe from other risottos from restaurants of similar calibre (maybe it’s cause there were no mussels tonight due to shipment holiday delays). We also came on a VERY slow night so it was very quiet, which made the ambience so much better. I would definitely come again (hopefully when they have mussels for the risotto).

Appetizers were very good but entrees were under seasoned. Not many vegetables with the entrees. Service was slow in spite of the fact that the restaurant was empty. We have had many good experiences here in the past but this was not great.

Had a great experience at The Livingroom. Went on a Tuesday, so the restaurant was quiet and not many tables. Drinks were made with premium liquors and were so flavourful and tasty. Food presentation was phenomenal! We shared the burrata and sourdough to start, which was phenomenal. I had the salmon dish and the mix of flavours from the salmon, horseradish and peas and potatoes! Our server as a kind gentleman and the bartender working was approachable with questions. Overall, experience was lovely! My partner and I would definitely like to go back and try more of the dishes on menu.
