š¦ Itās a good thing we made reservations at 6:30pm on a Wednesday even though there were no Toronto teams playing that night because it was packed - inside and out. š¦We got there and the hostess was super pleasant and friendly. We even sparked up a conversation about how she is Polish, adding warmth to the greeting. We were quickly brought to our round table which was really nice because it had a lot of space to share between 3 people. š¦Our waiter Veetrag or āVā quickly came over with a soft, warm smile. He was super kind and held a conversation very well. He even got my humour which was an added bonus since my humour sometimes flys by peopleās headsā¦including my own š. We ordered pepperoni pizza, atlantic salmon, and pistachio gnocchi. š¦Pepperoni Pizza The pizza has a thin crust and itās really good. The cheese is always good and if youāre like me and you enjoy a nice golden cheese on top, make sure to ask for it well done. Itās actually a really tasty pizza and we were pleasantly surprised since we didnāt think Kellyās Landing was known for their pizzas but hey, this pizza is definitely something to tryā¦you might just like it š¤¤. š¦Atlantic Salmon This dish is definitely a really good āhealthyā alternative. The salmon was cooked perfectly and wasnāt oily. It went along perfectly with the quinoa it came with and the sauce they drizzled on it was delicious. If youāre looking for something a little more āwholesomeā, we would recommend the salmon. If you like salmon, definitely go for this. You will be happy you chose it. š¦Pistachio Gnocchi This was definitely a heavier dish. We mean, itās gnocchi and is there really a way to run away from āheavyā? The creamy sauce was really good and definitely added delicious flavour to the gnocchi. There were pistachios crushed on top of the dish and was good for me since Iām not a huge fan of pistachios but LOVED the crunch in the dish. We are super grateful we came to Kellyās Landing and always enjoy the food here. We actually talked about how weāve always had good meals here. Thank you so much to V and Kellyās Landing for continuing to provide us with happy service and good food no matter when we visit. This is our experience. Whatās yours? š¦

Located right outside Union Station, this restaurant appears to be popular with game goers as it tends to be filled with people wearing baseball caps and jerseys. There are also those who like to come here for a regular night out with friends. I gave this restaurant a second chance after a first not so great experience and noticed a huge improvement. Like the first time, the staff here were all super friendly, and we were brought to our table right away upon arrival (note that reservations were made in advance). One thing I noticed during this visit was that the restaurant appears to be divided into two halves. One side was more like a sports bar with a large screen displaying some sports game. This side from my first experience was a lot louder, and required you to speak up quite a bit just to be heard. This time, we were brought to the other side of the restaurant which had a more posh look (see photo), smaller TV's in the distance, and was overall less noisy, making it easier to communicate with your company. As with any other restaurant, we were served some water while we decided on what to order. The glasses and cutlery were clean and free of water marks which is always a huge plus. Our drinks, appetizer, and mains all arrived within a reasonable amount of time after placing our order. The portions were good, and both the drinks and food were enjoyable. Our main server also came by to check how things were just the right number of times. He didn't forget that we were there, and didn't come by so often that it felt like we weren't given any space. My first bad experience could have been due to that server being new to the job and had not developed a proper handle of things yet. I am glad that I got to see the full potential of what this restaurant could offer.

The steak was perfectly medium rare as asked, cannot complain about it. Although, the service was truly and utterly disappointing. This was my first experience in a landing group restaurant and although the food was okay overall, the staff was completely unwelcoming and inattentive. The two of us came to celebrate a relationship milestone. When we walked in the two hosts at the front didnāt greet us, they were busy conversing and I had to wave and say hi to get their attention. That was nothing compared to the 25 minutes we spent waiting to even be greeted by our server, she was nowhere to be found. After the 15 minute mark, we started to look around for our server, and I personally made eye contact with 4 workers who either just stared back and didnāt do anything or question why we were seated with no food or no service, or LITERALLY made eye contact and turned the other way as if they hadnāt seen me. (Happened twice) My girlfriend even made eye contact with the host who seated us and she looked back and didnāt think anything wrong of us seated for all that time without even asking anyone why we hadnāt been seen by a server yet. 3 servers were at the bar chatting and watching the Argentina-Canada game, completely oblivious to our presence, nobody seemed to care or know we were there despite being seated by the hostess 20+ minutes prior with nothing ordered or given but menus. Finally, a server with tattooed eyebrows shows up, lidded eyes and speaking slowly as if to avoid slurring. I donāt want to make any assumptions but considering her mannerisms and her completely neglecting us in presumably her sectionā¦well you know what it seemed like. I thought that was the end of it, but our food took another 30 minutes to arrive even though they werenāt very busy and our server probably knew we had been waiting for so long already. I understand that in relatively nice restaurants like this, dishes are made with care and to order, but by then we had waited an hour. Eventually I got my Steak and Shrimp, and she her Steak Frites. Now for the cherry on top, the steak was nicely done to medium rare, but admittedly it was a little bland. About 2/3 into finishing my meal, I got curious and checked the menu only to find out my steak should have come with the āhouse-made demi glacĆ©.ā My girlfriend got hers but I assumed mine wasnāt supposed to come with it until I confirmed on the menu posted online that it should have. None of the chefs, and neither our server caught this. I didnāt even bother mentioning it to her at that point as the meal was practically done. Albeit lacking the glacĆ©, the meal was not bad. Although the work ethic of the hostesses, the servers, the bartenders (who also ignored us) was honestly really disappointing.

Looking for a great date night restaurant? Kellys Landing definitely checks off a lot of boxes. This restaurant is in the heart of downtown close to most of the main attractions such as Scotiabank Arena, Union Station, CN Tower, and Roger's Centre. It is walking distance to the Financial district. Lots of workers come here after work for a night cap. We came here to eat before the Raptors game. The restaurant was almost at capacity. We got a table within 15 minutes. It took about 10 minutes before a server came by to greet us and introduce herself. She was polite and friendly. It would have been nice to know if there's any drink or food specials. The menu didn't indicate otherwise. We ordered the Tuna poke bowl $23.50 and Bacon jam and cheddar burger. We also ordered a Coors Light and upgraded to the larger mug for $3 more. The Tuna Poke bowl came with a tangy spicy sauce. There is good texture in this dish. Only miss here is the portion size doesn't justify the price. If you're hungry, I would avoid ordering this dish. The bacon jam cheddar burger was the big showstopper. The fresh ground chuck oatty had a nice charred on the outside and juicy texture inside. Every bite was rewarding. The burger was dressed with bacon jam, arugula, white cheddar, and Landing sauce. The fries were fresh cut style. The server did try to upgrade my order with garlic and herb parmesan fries or sweet potato fries. I declined. My wife was also asked if she wanted to change her poke bowl to salad instead of rice. Although it's ok to offer these upgrades I would appreciate the server letting us know the cost of those upgrades. The total bill came up $71.79 with tip. Very pricey food, but most people come here for the ambiance and vibes.

3.5/5 Came here on a weekday night, as I had some gift cards that I won. We were seated on the patio and our waiter Alejandro seemed pretty busy but was friendly and made the dining experience pleasant. He was attentive and made sure everything was fine even when he went on break for a few minutes. We ordered some cocktail and it did take a bit long but he apologized, saying that they were quite busy right now (I think there was a Jay's game that ended). I don't drink alcohol that often but I thought the Dragon Fruit Pisco Sour was very well made even though it did not include the dehydrated dragon fruit like it says on the menu. The Landing Caesar was also made well as well. Coconut Lime Mussels This was good, but the sauce was a bit too salty. The bread was also good and it went well with the dish but it was not focaccia like the menu states. Pistachio Gnocchi This dish was fine. The pesto cream didn't have a good pistachio flavor to it and the gnocchi was okay. The texture was quite squishy for a gnocchi but it had a generous serving of mushrooms. Not much artichoke though. Truffle Mushroom Risotto I thought the dish was tasty but lacked any truffle flavor, especially considering that it was $23.50. The risotto was definitely on the saltier side but it came with a generous serving of mushrooms so that was nice. However, I wish there were more variety of mushrooms with a bit more truffle flavor. Adding an 8oz steak for $12 was a great deal though. Although the steak could use a bit more seasoning (maybe they didn't because the risotto was salty?), the steak was cooked to my liking (rare). Overall, I found the food to be a bit pricey for what it is, but the cocktails were good.

Great food with great service! Neil took good care of us and also suggested some good options for us to try. The biggest opportunities for improvement are the diaper changing room in the menās washroom, the temperature control, and the seat allocation by the hostess. The diaper changing station in the menās washroom is spacious but the pull down table is broken. My son was sliding down while I had to balance everything and change his diaper. This is a serious health hazard and the management should get this fixed. The restaurant became extremely hot and humid. My family was sweating and we struggled to breathe as well It took roughly 5 minutes for the hostess to show up at the restaurant. After she showed up, she started talking to 2 men who showed up after my family did and was talking to them about their interests in working PT at the restaurant. The hostess had to be guided on which area we want to sit in. When you enter, the restaurant seems gloomy so we wanted to sit in a bright spot. She first took us to the area with the high chairs and took us through a route where the stroller could not fit. Then we saw an area that was extremely bright and was indoors, we asked her if we can sit there. She then took us there. She could have asked us beforehand the area we prefer sitting in. Big opportunity to improve here. Food and our server were great but Kellys has some easy opportunities to improve! Hope the management take some action on these.
