  My husband and I came here to celebrate my mother in laws birthday and were very impressed with the food, service and ambience of this cozy restaurant. The menu is focused on small share plates and they recommended that we ordered 2-3 dishes/person. Everything was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly. This cozy spot is definitely recommended but a reservation is needed if you want to make sure you get a table.

  If you’re visiting Toronto, you really should hop over to Leslieville in its East end. Greta Solomon’s has been open for about 5 months. Over time, several friends have told me we would love it, and we did! For us, those really memorable dining experiences start with attention to detail, and with the personality of the owners themselves. The owner of Greta Solomon’s (a combination of her grandmother’s name and her grandfather’s name) is a lovely, unpretentious woman from Newfoundland, who is clearly passionate about food and excellence, who is very hands on, and who seems like a genuinely lovely person. The restaurant seats about 28, so I would highly recommend a reservation. From the moment we entered, we knew it was going to be a very good night. On all the tables were little chalkboard easels with the name of the reserved party. NICE touch. In the restrooms there are disposable toothbrushes and other dental care items, in case you are on that special date. LOVED that. We happened to hit Greta’s on a Wednesday, when bubbly and oysters were half price. Total bonus. There were four in our party. The cocktail list was beautiful, and so were the drinks it presented. The wine list is super solid, with many wines available by the glass. I am a bread person, and I have to say, the bread was so amazing it’s a wonder I didn’t sneak into the kitchen and grab more. For appetizers our party had the kale-based salads…very good….and I had 6 oysters, which were superb. For our mains, one of our party had the duck, and said it was perfection. Two of our party had the catch of the day, which today was a lobster dish, and they loved it. I had the filet de boeuf and it was perfect. The chef comes from a restaurant I used to love (it closed recently) called Pangaea. He has done anamazing job creating this menu. For dessert I had the cheese plate and a glass of poire William. The cheeses were thoughtfully selected and presented. Others in my party raved about the coffee-sauced beignettes and the creme brulee. We all four left feeling well-fed, but not bloated, and that, too, is the mark of a great restaurant. We will be back, and in the meantime, you have to try it
