So happy the Senator is open for brunch again. It is one of our favourites! Visited for the first time post-COVID. Fun 50s style diner. We missed you. A few changes to the menu but the food is still amazing. One request - please bring back the club sandwich! Very friendly staff. We always have the Yogurt and fruit and blueberry pancakes. We tried a new dish today. French toast sandwich with ham and Swiss. It was dee-lish. Home fries so good! $5 mimosas!!! So glad you’re back - we missed you!

Came here because it was right across the street from the Ed Mirvish Theatre. Food and drink were decent and not too overly priced.

Came here for brunch with some friends. Service was good and our server was friendly. The mimosas were reasonably priced compared to other places.The food was decent and they had a decent selection of foods but a bit on the pricier side from what I was expecting.I wouldn’t mind coming again for sure because it had a cozy vibe to it and overall had a good experience.

This was the most disappointing meal I’ve had in quite a while. I grew up with the Senator and it did not fair well post Covid.Service was abysmal as well as the cafeteria style burger and fries.It’s another tear for a fallen establishment.The minimum is a star as I can’t post zero.This is all I could eat and the waiter asked if everything was ok.Um……

Restaurant with a history - read about it on the front page of the menu. As for the food, the pancakes are superb! French toasts are not bad too. And they make their own honey! Very nice service and friendly staff. Very nice experience having brunch here.

Sometimes, you get lucky! When me & my wife first travelled to Toronto, we stayed at a Hotel in downtown and planned our breakfast at Senator (without looking at reviews, without searching for other places). Incidentally, this place turned out to be one of the finest we've ever have been to in Toronto in last 4 years. The coffee here is the best we've had in the city, the cozy sitting is awesome & the breakfast - decent. I checked recently and think this place does not take any reservations which is unfortunate.

Went in with high expectations after reading about the best burger in Toronto. For me it was not the case unfortunately.

Great service and delicious brunch. The $5 mimosas were an added bonus. It gets very busy very quickly, but it is well worth the wait.

It was my worst breakfast experience in Toronto!!- We ordered two separate plate but they brought one shared one. Even when we said it was a wrong order, no one appeared to address the issue.- No one asked if we like to have milk with coffee.- It was a waste of money ($65.5) for a low quality breakfast plate! Will never try again!

I have been planning to visit Senator for over a year, last night I had the chance to visit and have dinner at this wonderful place. The food was so good, but what I really loved about this place is the amazing service I got. They were so friendly, professional, and polite. The restaurant has very cozy and cute decorations and the tables are made in a way that will make you feel very comfy. I ordered the creamy pasta and it was so yummy. I also loved the idea of attaching hangers for coats and jackets at every table. I can't wait to try their brunch on the weekend.
