Rivoli Toronto

We had the ceasar salad and chose to add chicken breast. The serving was a great size for a lunch main, and I took some home with me. Overall the new owner is doing quite well!

The waiter was friendly and approachable. We sat upstairs in the booth.The pad thai was delicious! After dinner, we played some pool. A great pastime when you need to be inside.

This is the review just for the dining room : Visited for the first time as my friend recommended because we thought they had live music, the dining room had absolutely no character and so freaking COLD . They had 2 heaters, which none of them were working and we had to keep our jackets on and eat dinner. Apparently they were doing some maintenance which caused the heater not to work, this is what we had told by our waitress who was actually nice. The place was totally dead for Saturday night on Queen st. We decided to stay and have dinner as we were starving. I ordered the pad Thai which was good . I hope they do something with the space as it looks outdated .

Loved the place. It had a lot of pool tables and great drinks. My husband left his ID here and tried to get it back 3A.M . Somebody magically opened the door with a suit on ! He looked like a guardian angel ...

Highlights: - Pool place in downtown open till late night - its $20/hr for the game - plenty pool tables - the tables are old & have visible sign of wear & dirt - Beer on tap I went for the pool game with some colleagues and it was a not too crowded on a snowy Thursday night. We got the table easily, and as I mentioned there are plenty of pool tables and have clear signs of age & wear on them, but its manageable. You can buy drinks and take it to your table, most of the tables have sofas & drink holders. Overall Good. Recommended. Enjoy!

Pool tables were dirty with dust around. Stained and defiantly needs maintenance. Place needs deep cleaning. The ambiance is amazing and choice of music is nice too. If managment can make the pool tables clean and repair some if needed. it will be an amazing place to hangout for an evening.

-Wings 4/5, pretty good! but expensive for wings -wookie balls 3/5, interesting fluffy texture with sauce! Came out cold (microwaved perhaps?) -fish and chips 1/5, unseasoned and mushy. Kind of tastes like spoiled cantaloupe, maybe it was expired? -braised meat sandwich with dip 2/5, bread is cold mushy and soft, meat is unseasoned, sauce was ice cold Aside from that, the fries are pretty good. I don't think I would be able to recommend this restaurant. This place is honestly kind of hilarious

We were in the area on a Wednesday night, and it seems like almost nothing is open past 22:00. Luckily, Rivoli was open until 23:00. We weren’t really expecting much; the assumption was that it was just some place that caters to drunk people at night. That was far from the case! Service was fantastic! They had us seated, got our food, and bill quickly. They were attentive and friendly as well! The food is another high point. We got the Braised Beef Poutine, The Cesar Salad (w/Chicken), and the Signature House Greens (w/ Steak). For ‘appetizers’, the portion size for all 3 items was generous and appreciated! I’ll start with the Cesar, as it was my friend’s choice. She said it was good, and I agree that the chicken, lettuce, and dressing were good. I thought the croutons were a little too hard, but that might be normal (I don’t eat croutons very often). The House Greens with Steak: I can’t believe the steak was just a side item. It was a nice cut of meat! Well seasoned, and cooked perfectly! Delicious! The salad itself was wonderful as well. I’m normally not a fan of sweet ingredients with my steak, but the delicate balance achieved here was flawless. The salad had greens, but it also had walnuts, raisins, amongst other things. It was such a nice addition to the steak! Finally, the Braised Beef Poutine; WOW! It was INCREDIBLE! I kept commenting on how difficult it must be for the chef who has to pull that braised meat afters its slow cook without eating it. It smelled and tasted so good! The rest of the poutine was also fantastic; generous portions of curds, a nice gravy, and well cooked fries. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area! They have several braised beef dishes. They’re a must; their braised beef is amazing!
