Love coming here! The music is always really good and the drinks & food are delicious.Paul is an amazing waiter - super personable and really goes above and beyond to make our experience a good one.

This restaurant is honestly amazing! The drinks were incredible, the food was beyond delicious, the vibes were lit (music, atmosphere, crowd, etc.), and the service was great - Paul was so wonderful, helpful, and very funny. The space was smaller than I expected but it works. My friends and I loved our first visit here and will definitely be coming back!ps. try the chocolate martini - obsessed.

With the reviews being a little iffy.. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when I walked into Eighteen30. The moment I stepped into their heated patio, I was immediately warmed up. IT WAS HOT. It was so warm that I was sweating a little since I wore too much. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and got the Blueberry Pancakes to share. Chicken and Waffles is my go to dish and oh my Eighteen30 did it quite well. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and flavourful. The waffles were nice and chewy. I also liked how it wasn’t overly drenched in syrup, making it the perfect sweet and savory meal to enjoy. By the end of it, I was quite full.. When the Blueberry Pancakes arrived.. I was quite full. I had a bite and it was the perfect way to finish off.I heard dinner is quite lively and delicious as well. I was very content with their brunch menu. Looking forward to trying their dinner menu when I get a chance to stop by.I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a nice and cozy heated patio to enjoy food!

I had a great experience there, the workers were kind and the food (especially the risotto..!) was so amazing, warm inside with the heat too. Definitely recommend.

Very fun place to go to if you’re looking for a bar/nightclub type of vibe during the current covid restrictions. Food and drinks weren’t anything special. Service was pretty good - our server was very friendly and nice. The patio is also very warm and is heated amazingly. Went here on a night that was almost -30 and I was able to take my jacket, hat and gloves off. Music was very lively. Overall, I would recommend to go here if you’re looking for a fun night out of drinking!

We had a reservation on Jan 15 for 4 people. We were running 5 minutes late and phoned to inform them of this. His response was “first come, first served”, *CLICK*. OKWe get there and a tall Caucasian male is at the door, asks us to scan the QR & fill out the info to get the menu. He takes us to our seats and it’s right by the door. It was so cold, we asked for a different spot (let me remind you it’s during covered outdoor patio times). He dismissed our requests when we asked for a different spot away from the door, he simply said “it’s reserved” (Oh, so reservations matter now?) & he also added “it’s for 5 people, you guys are only 4”.We were frozen, and after pushing so much to be moved elsewhere & almost leaving, a wonderful staff member moved us but shelooked afraid doing so. Once she gave us the go, we moved to an area away from the door, the heat in that corner was impeccable.The staff who was assigned to our table was incredibly kind and accommodating. Near the end, this same man came to grab a chair from our table, when the waitress said “they are almost done, can’t it wait?” He replied NO! I need it now”. He grabs the chair and walks away. She apologizes. Meanwhile a couple seated nearby also had a vacant chair, but he chose to disturb us.As we are paying, I asked if that’s the manager and she said “he’s a host”. I told her he was the rudest host I have ever met, he’s so negative and has the poorest attitude.The vibe we got was he’s probably racist, we were the only black folks in the place at the time and he was on a mission to make us feel uncomfortable.The food was actually good, but when you’re greeted with such a nasty person, it ruins the experience. The two ladies who were there Saturday Jan 15 around 5pm, you guys are great. Sorry you have to work with such a foul man.I wouldn’t go back even if I was dying of hunger & they were offering free food for a year and shelter. I’d rather go to the gas station across the street from this joint!

LOL this place is a joke. We called ahead to see if they had outdoor seating and the man who answered the phone sounded insulted that we asked - he also hung up on us before answering our next question. Upon arrival there were about 5 waitresses all standing around doing nothing, all unmasked. The waitress was friendly enough but we had to leave due to an emergency. Much to our surprise we were presented with an outrageously inflated bill for sparking water. 0/10 recommend.

Went over the weekend. Super cute patio. Lots of heaters. All staff seemed really nice EXCEPT our server. Was served by Keaane. Worst service from her. Very unfortunate.

Awful experience - made a reso for 9:30 and we weren’t seated until 10. Our server didn’t come until we eventually flagged someone down. Brought us the wrong drinks and when we asked to speak to someone about it, our server was rude and extremely pushy. Charged us for the wrong drinks and had said a round was on the house and charged us for that too. When we asked about it we were told there was nothing they could do because we already paid. Our server was really rude about the whole experience. Wouldn’t recommended.

The most disrespectful owner in all of Toronto. The staff were just as rude. We called to say we will be 15 minutes late to our reservation, they said we might lose our table and hung up before getting our name or information. We called back to complain and the owner was so rude, raising his voice and actually began swearing at us on the phone. We were shocked and hung up. He called us from his PERSONAL phone to continue swearing and yelling. This sort of treatment is unheard of... He told us he was NOT the owner, so naturally we went to the restaurant to try and let the owner know how rudely we were treated by his staff. We get there to find out that it was actually the owner on the phone. He walked up to us yelling with no mask on in front of everyone. I did not swear or raise my phone or do anything else to justify this kind of behavior and I'm still shocked at how unprofessional and rude this owner was. We were glad that we did not eat here because the service must be terrible if this is how the OWNER treats guests.
