Rush Hour — Restaurant in Toronto

Our 6-person reservation at Rush Hour was for tonight at 6:30pm. By 7:30pm, the dining room and patio were well filled. This is a popular place to eat, and with good reasons. The food is excellent. The portions are respectable. Dining room is well-kept, with space between tables. And the service is wonderful. I’m not sure if it was the owner or the maitre d’, but a gentleman came over several times to ensure everything was to our liking. Water glasses were kept filled, and delivery of food and drinks was timely and efficient. Our appetizers were Caesar salad and fish soup. Main courses consisted of one chicken dinner, one steak, two lobster risottos, a Chilean sea bass, and a seafood penne. I was placed in the unfortunate position of getting my dish, but having to see and covet everyone else’s food as it was presented. All those dishes were worth ordering, as per the people who ate them. Five of six guests elected to get doggy bags, so no complaints about portion size. This evening, they did not have Portuguese custard tarts, and that was a small disappointment. Their passion fruit mousse did make up for it. This is a solid restaurant experience, and is well...

Our family has been dining here for years. This is a local go-to for all our intimate celebrations; birthdays, mothers&fathers day, valentines day..

We recently booked the restaurant, a quaint and charming place, to celebrate our nieces baptism.

The owners helped with the set up, they timed the meals perfectly, they were attentive with drinks and with ensuring our apps were more than enough. This was by far the best experience we had ever had--but that certainly should not take away from all our previous visits.

Fernando, the owner, is the friendliest most accommodating man and its no wonder he and his family are running this successful business. He is always willing to adjust the menu to suit my fathers very particular likes. The fish dishes are always fresh and plentiful. My mothers go to dish is the Picanha, a beautiful steak. And the traditional Portuguese soup, Caldo Verde, is a must for us as starters.

We are so grateful for this business and for the care and attention they have for their guests. We look forward to many more years of...

Went for a birthday dinner and was very pleasantly surprised about this place. Walked down Dufferin a few times but must of missed it/ probably was closed earlier in the day. Ate inside but the patio looked great tucked on a quite side street. The menu had a great selection of food and we were offered 3+ specials off menu. The server and owner we very nice and accommodating to my allergies and gave us warning of what I couldn't eat and what was used in the kitchen. They were also happy to switch around some side veggies to fit everyones tastebuds perfectly. All the meat dishes were cooked/seasoned perfectly and a great size portion for the prices. Happy to have found and tried this spot, will be back again. PS: You can bring your own wine, with a very...
