Burce ısıkOctober 17, 2015Had an amazing dinner, sous vide pork cheek is a must it was so tender and best sticky toffee pudding i have had so far, burger was superb and fish was divine
Joanna SableFebruary 20, 2015David Lee is a master and this Lobster Cobb for lunch with sweet lobster, great Bleu cheese, delicate greens and smoky lardons did not disappoint
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014The chef's take on contemporary Canadian cuisine is all about locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. It's a place where the staff is great, where they're nice to you. Get a steak or a burger. Read more
EaterOctober 7, 2013Quality in the kitchen keeps Nota Bene on the essentials list; proximity to the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts keeps new patrons coming for contemporary cuisine. [Eater 38 Member]
Laurie BennettFebruary 25, 2015Order the ceviche, then the burger with maple bacon, smoked Gouda and squid ink bun. Sit back and revel in its perfection.
Kat YusonAugust 14, 2013You gonna love this place!! It's super classy and the food is just amazing!Their specials change every week anyway best to check on their website ahead of time.
charlotteMarch 30, 2014Great choice of G&Ts, served with juniper seeds in a mini test-tube. Also, nice mocktails (ask your server).
Jeff MelnykFebruary 25, 2015Everything was just perfect. Amazing burger (the party was so tasty!) and ceviche with coconut milk was a great twist.
Nadia IssaBellaMarch 6, 2016Even if you're stuffed, save room for the delightful chocolate salted caramel truffle.

Veronichka ZotochkinaFebruary 8, 2014Fantastic dinner and fantastic service. Their burger is on the top 25 in Toronto. Get it, don't hesitate. Can't wait to come back
Noura S.August 9, 2018Super friendly staff.. great service. The food is really good. Definitely to be repeated 👌
Earth Day CanadaMay 30, 2012You obviously enjoy excellent food. Chef Michael Stadtländer will be serving up his sumptuous, local and organic menu at the @EarthDayCanada Gala on June 6th at The Drake
Wes WorsfoldApril 25, 2012Amazing service. Inspired food. The sweet and sour is unique and delicious. Tuesday's ravioli special is a must have. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Sotheby's International Realty CanadaJanuary 5, 2012Try the prix fixe, served 5-6:30 p.m. on performance evenings at the Four Seasons Centre. Great menu, tab and efficient service so you don't miss the show.
Dorota LindaJune 12, 2014Poached white asparagus and tuna sashimi quite delightful. Also...sliders with Stilton are delicious.
TOFoodReviewsJuly 27, 2012Nota Bene: beautifully modern and discerning, near-instant service, brilliant margaritas, killer scallop dish 5/5
Great Service and Food. Also new Menu and good Vegan options
Michelle EdgarFebruary 24, 2011The onion rings and French fries are fantastic! Share them the portion is huge. Sprague Brussels sprouts are also a must have.
Jed SchneidermanDecember 11, 2011During winter make sure to get table way inside as there is a cold draft from front door - great restaurant
Jeremy PacJuly 20, 2011The 9-Inch Bone in 33 Ounce Ribsteak is great for sharing... or you can eat it by yourself. (You know you want to...)
Keith MFebruary 15, 2015Duck in salad had texture but no taste. Brisket burger had presentation but no taste. Wife liked the mushroom/mozz appy. Restaurant for a very soft palate. For $300, 2 people could do a lot better.
Ian YatesNovember 29, 2010The tenderloin was excellent. Probably the best steak I've had in TO. Fries and sticky toffee pudding great too.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Susur Lee, chef of Bent, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Yucatan hot & sour soup. Read more
Sass KhazzamNovember 5, 2016Terrible! Extremely expensive for the poor quality of cooking. Pasta was so full of garlic you could smell it before reaching us. Osso Buco was tough and too cartilagenous.
Ines MazzottaFebruary 7, 2010fantastic - very impressed. one of the best steaks in a long time and a perfect tuna tartare. attentive yet low key service.
nota bene has some dishes that have already become classics. the hangar steak, the goji hot and sour soup, the boudai tart and the sticky toffee pudding
jpli18July 20, 2012There are lots of suits, if you're still deciding whether this is a good venue for yourself or not..
- Bahman KJKJanuary 20, 2015Terrible server "Daria". Ruined the occasion with an attitude. The food was okay, I admit. The other servers were normal. Just what she said: nota bene means take a risk !!!!! It means note well!!
