HUSH

Amazing food, great portions, reasonable price, beautiful atmosphere, great service!

My friend and I were looking to grab a bite and a drink at around 9:45pm on a Thursday. Even though, Hush usually closes at 10pm, we thought we’d give it a shot, since it looked really nice. We were greeted enthusiastically by Lindsay, who asked us not to worry about the time and ensured that we were quickly seated at a comfortable spot of our liking. Lindsay was very attentive and definitely gave us the kind of service that needs to raved about. She took our orders and was quick to get us our drinks and after mains, whilst ensuring that we’re comfortable. We wanted to stay for desserts, but we got too full. What impressed me was that even though it was well past 10 by this time, and staff was seen cleaning up, Lindsay asked us if we’d like any desserts or drinks. Truly selfless. Great service, beautiful ambience and delicious food. Looking forward to having dinner there once again!

My husband and I came here for appetizers and drinks only. Reasonably priced, nice interior, accommodating waitress, and food was pretty good. It wasn’t anything fantastic but I’d return for a decent meal. The drinks we ordered were small, however, and not that much bigger than a shot glass it seemed. Maybe it was just the type of drink we ordered but the glasses were quite small.

We spontaneously walked into Hush around 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon after discovering Toronto on foot. It was lovely. Our server couldn’t have been more gracious, extremely nice. We ate simply; I had their Thai Crunch Salad, which was light and delicious and full of interesting tidbits — an array of greens, bok choy, spicy peanuts, chicken, mandarin oranges and more. My husband had a burger (like he always does!) although he couldn’t have it cooked medium rare — a Canadian health regulation requires all meat to be cooked to at least medium? A glass of Canadian wine was also quite nice.
The ambiance was quiet, super pleasant.

The nachos were pretty good mainly the sauce. Shrimp tacos were decent too. Nice rooftop patio. The dip we had (crab?) was just okay.

Pretty good brunch spot with good value for money and friendly service. When you just want a classic brunch with no frills, but in a classy location without paying too much, this is your ticket.
They have all the brunch classics, and the décor is quiet and comfortable to have a conversation in, being set in muted blacks in a modern sleek interior. There’s also a patio at the top when the weather is nice. The service was friendly and accommodating; they were very accommodating when I wanted to substitute the home fries for a fruit plate. Prices are quite reasonable as well for King St., and the server was always filling up our coffee.
This place offers the full brunch experience without pretension, delivering good food and good conversation.

Took the the team for a celebration dinner based off of the Unilocal reviews and location. What’s amazing place. Food and service was great!!! Would definitely go back and recommend going.

It was just meh. The service was inattentive. The food was salty and the drinks were brought out in thimble sized glasses. Just a weird vibe too because the place was empty at prime dinner time.

Came here with a couple of friends after work on a Friday evening. We sat at their well-​known rooftop patio to enjoy the beautiful summer weather. The interior of the restaurant was very classy and modern and their rooftop patio was very nice, except the view wasn’t the best of views. Once seated, we were asked if we’d like to start with a drink. They have daily specials throughout the week but I ended up ordering their Red Sangria, which in my opinion wasn’t anything special and I’ve had better. My next round of drinks was their Amsterdam Blonde that was on special, thought I’d give it a try, why not. For food, I decided to go with their Lobster Grilled Cheese with Sweet Potato Fries, which I thought was the most delicious grilled cheese I have ever had, especially cause it had seafood inside. I highly recommend trying this item and don’t stinge out on the sweet potato fries! The third round of drinks I tried The 303 (absolut vodka, cucumber, basil, lime and gingerale). I thought this drink was quite refreshing but the others thought otherwise. I did not have room for dessert after all the food and drinks but I definitely will come back to try their S’mores Dessert! Overall, the service was okay, I’ve definitely had better. But because the food was so delicious, I will definitely come back next time.

We had such a great experience on the rooftop patio. The raspberry lemonade was yummy! Our server Richie was very accommodating, we were in a rush & he got everything sent out quickly. We will definitely be back.

I feel that there is so much good food in Toronto, a lot of times it comes down to the service and attitude of the wait staff and the ambiance. It is for this reason I give HUSH 5 stars. This review is based on my experience from the summertime.
I needed a spot for 15 people and I wanted a rooftop patio. Most places didn’t make rooftop rezos and also made it pretty clear that I wouldn’t get a spot up top. However HUSH was so super friendly in the phone and when I arrived, indeed they accommodated my party of 15 on the rooftop.
The kitchen staff/​people in the front were positively lovely, the friendliest I’ve ever met, always asking me how things were going when I came down.
Our waitress was on top of food orders and pouring wine, despite our large crowd and some other folks that came later unexpectedly (so we had maybe 20 total?)
My only disappointment was that there was no view on the rooftop. Initially I was looking for a place that had a stunning view. But whatever, HUSH made up for it in other areas.
Overall I’ll definitely be coming back… Looking forward to patio season!

This is a «meh» rest.
Sat on the rooftop patio on a gorgeous night and it looked like one server was serving the whole thing– which probably would have been fine had the patio not been up 2 flights of stairs and therefore the service was ridiculously slow.
Our app and mains came at the same time and they took forever. We ordered 1 martini each and we had to wave someone down after 20 minutes of an empty glass, we tried to order a bottle of wine and by the time they came back to tell us they were out of it we were done our food and just wanted our bill.
lousy service, meh food, great patio though.

Went to meet a friend there for lunch since she worked nearby and i had the freedom to be able to just spend the day downtown. Hush is yummy, love the rooftop patio. I would definitely go back again =)

The Thai Nachos were great as were the Tuesday Mojitos for $ 6. But the California Burger and side salad was depressing … the burger was over cooked and extremely dry. The side salad was very wilted and looked like it had been sitting out for hours.
It took a long time to serve us the food. And the reason was bc they were out of toothpicks to cut our burger in ½.
The service was great. The bartender followed up to see if we liked our Mojitos. Michelle the waitress was polite and check up on us. But when we communicated about the sad state of the salad no response came for about 10min later.
Glad i went and tried them once. But dont know if I will go back.

Ordered a smokehouse burger. Our party had 4 of the same burger and they all came with dry beef patty. Taste is on the bland side. Other dishes might be better.

I went here on a friends birthday last month and was not too impressed.
My drinks were good but the food was bland and overcooked– the other girls who had the same dish were also generally unimpressed. We all had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken.
In my opinion the chicken tasted like an overcooked chicken nugget that I would make at home, except I wouldn’t overcook it.
We also had the s’mores dessert which was lovely but I could see it being a fire hazard when marshmallows are catch on fire.
I most likely won’t return unfortunately.

Located at a semi-​famous strip in downtown Toronto, with a good dozen restaurants in a row. They all look so nice, especially at night, are usually pretty busy, with tiny patios in the front for the summer. (apparently this one and others also have rooftop patios but you can’t see them from the street so I always forget to try them). I’d noticed this place before, never having heard a word about it from anyone. What made me decide to try? Driving by that morning, knowing we had to pick out a restaurant to bring an out-​of-​towner with similar taste as myself, it just looked right.
Atmosphere: Semi-​dark, modern, chic, simple. Some cool/​unmemorable décor. Long & narrow in shape. I’d guess 20 tables? I did not venture toward the back room though, where it’s possible it’s bigger.
Service:
Upon walking in, we were greeted before the door even hit us in the ass. Good. Noticed the place was empty: questionable. (Sunday at 5:30pm roughly.) The waitress must’ve been experiencing her first day on the job, because she had someone (manager? senior waitor? owner?) attached to her hip. He mentioned if we need to use the washroom, we’ll have to go across the street since they don’t have one. For a split second, I believed that. It was a joke. But a great way to start off on the right foot for just arriving. He said we had our choice of any table we’d like, so we opted for the one right by the window. When he took my wine bottle order, he offered me a straw. Total straight face hilarious. He actually did then bring the straw, a 2-​foot one for my bottle. :) I tried to drink from it for fun, but couldn’t reach it to my mouth without spilling the wine at that angle. Service during the meal was just as great. When it got past the dessert time, after about two hours, I’m guessing unfortunately the guy went on a break or was busy elsewhere because the girl didn’t come to our table to bring the bill for a good half an hour? We had to go up to the cash to ask for it and then she was all smiles approaching us, without realizing the delay was bad. This threw in the face of the superior service the rest of the visit. I give it the benefit of the doubt that it was just her inexperience and won’t let this affect me going back. If it happened a second time, I’d question it…
Menu:
Yummy veggie spring rolls for appetizer (the prices are not listed on the online menu unfortunately). I don’t remember how much they were, but guessing something in the $ 8 – 12 range? More or less, I’d be surprised.
Apparently the NY strip loin was good, but nothing extraordinary. Nice size, cooked okay, mushrooms & peppercorns on top. Good veg primavera linguini. It’s hard to screw that up if you ask me though. Dessert was the best part: S’mores roasted on skewers at the table over our own little burner! Handful of marshmallows, graham cookies, thin chocolate pieces with heated caramel to pour over it.
Go back??? Definitely.

I went back to HUSH over the weekend. I had a much better experience. I took some friends from out of town here as we were walking along King St. W. area. We ordered three drinks: the jolly rancher martini, wasabi ceasar and pineapple mojito. All the drinks were really food. The ceasar was spicy with a nice twist using the wasabi. The jolly rancher martini tasted like a jolly rancher. It was good.
To share we order the lobster tacos. DELICIOUS. the ingredients used were fresh and made the dish quite refreshing. We also got the shrimp and lobster dip which was also very good. The only thing is I wish we got more bread, we only got 4 pieces and chips but those didn’t taste the same. We had to ask for more and the guy only brough two wedges. Oh well. The dip itself was great and we wanted to savor it, that’s all.

I have come here a couple of times and I have to say the service was really great. Servers are very friendly and accommodating.
On one occasion, I had the focaccia clubhouse sandwich and it was very good. I really liked the creamy sun dried tomato mayonnaise. On another occasion, we shared the white chocolate chip cookie sundae with caramel sauce, and although it was something I could have made myself at home, we really enjoyed it.
Something a little bizarre occurred the last time we were there. A woman and her older aunt came to the restaurant and the former starting talking to us. Before they left, the woman came up to both of us and planted wet, slobbery kisses on each of us. We were both left speechless and after a few moments just burst out giggling, while one of the servers just starred in disbelief. He had said that he had never seen anything like that ever happen in the restaurant and apologized on the lady’s behalf. I guess there’s a first time for everything. It’s a good thing that we had already finished eating, because I think I would have lost my appetite!

Part of the next part of our anniversary night we came here for dessert round 2!
For smores and a really nice place to lounge and be all romantic was perfect.
Took a very long to get our smores but the waiter informed us it was because there were only a limited allowed smores fires to be used in that restaurant.
