The ambiance was romantic and is the perfect place for a date night! We got to try a few of their dishes and they are all unique and delicious. Would recommend for special occasion or just wanting delicious small dishes to share !
Be the first to ReplyWe went to Lake Inez for the first time last night.
We were warmly welcomed and the menu and format were explained by our server.the service throughout the meal was excellent.We ordered 4 plates and shared each one .We were very impressed with the variety of the flavors in each dish .We enjoyed our meal very much .The restaurant was very busy but that did not effect the great level of service we were given.Its a very funky ambiance inside a very plain storefront on Gerrard East. We loved our whole experience and will be back soon.
Be the first to ReplyVery glad I decided to celebrate a special occasion at Lake
Very glad I decided to celebrate a special occasion at Lake Inez. They were very kind to provide us with a treat! The pepper and walnut dip was incredibly unique, a perfect balance of acid and fat. It paired so well with the fried pita. Next we had the persimmon salad, which definitely had a funk and kick from the chilis. The kale was delicious (and I'm not normally a kale fan). We also had the red snapper, which was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin. The pineapple based sauce with lime complimented the fish well. Finally, we finished with the delicious meatballs and peach ragu, which had a balanced sweetness. The sour dough was also soooo good, and great for mopping up the delicious sauce. The service was immaculate. Thank you for giving us an amazing evening to celebrate!

This place is incredible! Cozy and fun interior, great service, great cocktails, and a fun menu that doesn't take itself too seriously. And for the quality of food that you get here, this place is punching well above its weight. Lots of vegetarian options, too!

We had incredibly interesting dishes with complex delicious taste. The patio as well as inside has great energy and vibe.

Dishes are presented with eccentric names that has a Trader Joe-like feel, such as the Hand Upstream Rolls ($22), which presents the upstream swimming fish, salmon, cured into gravlax form and covers it with cream fraiche and plum sauce. I enjoyed the meaty chunks of fish but wish the chefs weren't so heavy handed with the sauce, it masked the salmon's flavours and made it difficult to wrap in the nori. While pairing tomatoes with bonito seems strange, the Tomato Tonnato ($21) was one of our favorite dishes of the night. Somehow, the fish flakes' umami essence and the juicy heirlooms just work, bringing out the freshness of the fruit but giving it a bit of je ne sais quoi as well. In fact, Lake Inez's most simple sounding dishes were the tastiest. The Humble Potato ($19) featured big chunks of well-fried, roughed up potatoes that have a lovely crispy coating and tosses it in a flavourful Gouda queso. While the dish may sound heavy, the addition of herbs and anise hyssop (an edible flower) added a freshness to the cheesy potatoes. Along the same vein, the Corn Puddin' & Baby Shrimp ($23) was a lovely dip of hot gooey Fresno sauce studded with sweet corn and a fair amount of just cooked through shrimp. While it was tasty, it would be even better with more seasoning and salt. Still, the bread plate sized tortillas added a sunniness to the dish that I couldn't help but smile when seeing it. The Wham! Bam! Thank You, Ham! ($22) started with promise with slices of lightly cured country ham paired with sweet Korean melon and pears. But then the pickled watermelon rind and pickled peanuts were so pungent that after getting a bite of these that's all I could taste. It seems Lake Inez really likes sour flavours as the Cucumber?! I Hardly Know Her! ($19) was also too tart for my taste. The diced crunchy cucumber was tossed with a cashew cream that seems to contain a fair amount of preserved lemon. Aside from the refreshing cucumber and lemon, the other flavours were rather muted as I couldn't really taste the curry leaves or much salt. This was a divided dish for the table. The Miami Memory ($28) contained a piece of well-seasoned blackened snapper that had a nice spice but was over cooked. While it was considered a larger "main" dish, there was a scant portion of snapper, and the shredded greens and couscous side didn't increase it's substantialness by much. Mama's Meatballs ($28 for two; $10 for an additional meatball and bread) was more generous and the better of the two mains if you're hungry. Mama makes moist and not overly dense meatballs and the peach ragu and mostarda lightens the otherwise hearty dish. Serving these with a large hunk of buttered toast was smart to help mop up the sauce.
Be the first to ReplyCame here for the mystery patio.
It's a lovely comfy rooftop patio with a tasting menu to die for. Each of the 6 dishes had either a wine or cocktail to put it over the top. Service was so fun. A small group of diners allowed for some awesome attention from the owner and chefs. Each offering was described in detail as well as the accompanying alcohol. Lots of seafood, ie tuna, lobster etc. one of the dishes was pork and I let them know beforehand that I don't eat meat. No biggie. The pork was replaced with fish in the exact same sauce. It was a pricey evening but oh so worth it.

Cute restaurant in leslieville! The dishes are creative with lots of vegetarian option. Large selection of wine. My favourite was the corn pudding and fennel tempura. Service was great.

Came here for a date last summer (oops late review) and the interior is romantic, dimly lit, and great for a date. We tried various items on their menu. I like how they have a rotating seasonal menu, you won't be able to eat what I ordered basically which is cool!

Vibe is cozy and service is friendly.Lake Inez's menu changes seasonally so we're looking forward to trying out the next batch of dishes! Make sure you get a reservation in advance!

Lake Inez is an unassuming hidden gem that is loved by Toronto locals and foodies. From the moment you walk through the door of the restaurant you feel like you are transported to the inside of what might be your grandparent's house. Although The decor might be rustic, the food, beverage and atmosphere are far from "rickety." It was evident that it is loved because eveb on a Thursday night, the dining room was packed with diners. The main level dining room offers an a la carte menu that is ever changing with the offerings of the season. Upstairs they offer a unique set course dining experience that is raved about on social media. We dined from the a la carte menu which allowed us the opportunity to share several of their dishes. We started with the roasted beet dish and green salad. The beets were a combination of perfectly roasted red and yellow beets that sit atop the most delicious yogurt schmear and pesto sauce. The creamy yogurt and the tangy pesto were perfect compliments to the earthy root vegetables. Although the green salad sounded simple, it was far from boring. The salad came tossed with crispy radishes and was tossed in a balanced vinaigrette. Finally it was topped with toasted nuts that added a rich crunch to the light dish. We then had the grilled bread covered in a cheese spread and topped with roasted peaches and sausage. I was so excited to hear that they have gluten free bread so I was able to indulge in this plate. This dish was a favourite of the night. The sweet roasted peaches contrasted with the meaty sausage was akin to a sweet and sour Swedish meatball. Finally we had the pastrami plate. The dish was like an upscale version of a pastrami plate I would be served at my bubbie's house. The braised beef was fork tender and was topped with a crispy potato latke. The whole concoction sat in a beef jus that ensured the beef was moist and flavourful. This dish was certainly a wonderful and creative take on a traditional meat and potato offering. Not only was the food memorable at lake Inez but the service was attentive and on point. I cannot wait to return to see what new creations they conjure in the future.

This is literally one of our top 3 favourite restaurants in Toronto! The Nystery Roodtop Patio Tasting Menu is a fantastic experience. The regular dining menu is also always great. Unique dishes. Fabulous ingredients. Great natural wines. Wonderful people!
Be the first to ReplyIt's ok.
You will be happy and full but it's not the best. The description of food is better and whimsical then it is. The tater tot natchos would have been better if it was all tater tots. I think they ran out of them and gave us a mix of them and overcooked mini real potatoes. The ribs on a martins potato roll was adequate the bread was a bit stale. The meat needed salt. The head lettuce salad was awful. Very watery as where the mushrooms in herb sauce. The upside down pineapple cake was ok. Kinda like the store bought pound cake. It's 3 stars because you will be happy and have fun. But i could and can cook the same at home. Sorry.
Be the first to ReplyI have only heard rave reviews about Lake Inez, and people
I have only heard rave reviews about Lake Inez, and people tend to go regularly. My expectations were pretty high and I was still very impressed. delightful staff, really passionate and knowledgeable. they did not try to up sell. The restaurant is quirky and interesting decor. Small number of seasonally inspired small or sharing plates. Really enjoyed everything we had; Tuna crudo, peas peas peas and liver mouse. Also an interesting selection on the wine list. I will definitely be going back

Had dinner here a thursday evening and it was quite enjoyable.We had a reservation, and it got quite busy at around 7pm, so would definitely recommend getting a reservation.Restaurant is very quaint with very unique decor choices and and overall easygoing atmosphere & vibe.Service was pretty good, but they're definitely short-staffed. As it got busier, service became less attentive. They had 3 servers running around doing everything, including bartending; so patience will be important. The food was overall very good! My favourite was definitely the chicken liver mousse and Nachos. We ordered 4 dishes from the dinner menu (they recommend 3-4 for a table of 2).Fennel moment - this was sort of like a fennel sour cream dip with thin crisps to smear the dip on. It was pretty good, but I was hoping for more fennel and fennel flavour as fennal has a strong licorice flavour if eaten raw. Chicken liver mousse - my fav dish of the night. If you've had chick liver mousse before, it can be very heavy and rich. by adding the sour cherry and hazlenuts, it was the perfect combo and when served on the rice crackers, it was delicious! we are depressed thus: nachos: definitely order this, it was VERY cheesy (in a good way) and so delicious. it's slightly spicey but not to the point where you actually feel it... so people who don't enjoy spice (which is unfathomable to me!) can likely still eat it without being torched.wild watercress clams in brodo: this was pretty good, especially the black bird bread and the broth! BUT I wish it was mussels instead of clams, simply because there were about 12 or so clams, and it seemed like a tiny portion after you remove the shells... Clams are expensive and have a tiny yield. Mussels are relatively cheaper and much meatier. The sauce is 100% the star.Lastly, their drinks were quite good. Yuzu margo cocktail was refreshing and unique, and the nothing lasts forever cocktail definitely had a good amount of Johnny Walker black & lagavulin so that you can actually taste it. Big wine selection as wellOverall really enjoyed Lake Inez and very solid 4 stars.

Wonderful wine and cocktails and stellar service. This place is a local gem we are lucky to have in our neighbourhood. I would recommend every single dish I have had there.
Be the first to ReplyI love this place.
There's a certain charm to it. It's pretty dim with a bunch of random items decorating the restaurant. The servers are casual but friendly and the service is a bit slow. Everyone is having a good time, going at their own pace so I don't mind the slower service. I think the vibe is what does it for me here. It's just super chill. The first time I came was a few years ago and I remember thinking oh wow, there are so many flavours that I don't usually get to taste or I haven't had before. The food was very interesting and exciting. The server mentioned it was the last day they would be serving their fish curry before they change the menu so obviously we had to get it. It ended up being my favourite dish. I recently came back and it happened to be on the night of the snow storm. Arrived at 8:30pm and I was surprised the restaurant was almost full. They have a bunch of craft beers if that's what you're into. I prefer non-alcoholic drinks and they were out of their lime kombucha so they ended up making something similar to the lime kombucha. No complaints. It was yummy so I got a second Fried Green Tomatoes ($15) - Comes with four pieces, battered in some hard crispy stuff with a ricotta, tomato, basil spread. It wasn't bad but nothing to be impressed about. I wasn't really a fan of the crispy layer. The texture of it was like eating something that went stale.Mussels Marseille ($23) - Bouillabaisse was spicier than I expected. Came with two slices of sourdough, each one loaded with saffron spread. Definitely too much spread. You could wipe it off and have enough to cover another slice. I wasn't impressed with this dish either. Chantrelle & Shitake & New potato ($17) - Their version of a poutine. The potatoes were done well and were crispy on the outside. Didn't think there were enough mushrooms. I wasn't a huge fan of this dish either though. 2:45am Fried Rice ($22) - I wouldn't order this but everyone around me was getting served this dish and it felt like everyone knew something I didn't. Apparently the sauce was very spicy and there would be no way I could handle it (FYI, I can't handle spice) so I didn't try any. That's also probably why I thought the rice was a little bland (sauce was served on the side). Others around me were all raving about it though so maybe the sauce makes all the difference. Apple Cider Donuts ($12) - Comes with three pieces and I didn't like it. Very dense. There's a thing apple slice on top of each donut.Our Friend Trevor's Truffles ($4) - For two pieces. They're real tiny, probably the same size as the tip of my finger but I really loved it. Even considered getting another order of them but also had to take into account that they were $4.00 for 2 seconds of happiness, 10 if you stretch it out. If I based this only on the first time, I would definitely give them 5 stars. I didn't really like the food this time but the vibe and the staff are still super cool. I would definitely come again because I'm a believer.*Pictures didn't turn out great. Phone was acting up. Oops.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!Everything about this restaurant is AMAZING! My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant was dimly lit and pretty full. The service was wonderful. The servers were attentive and extremely friendly. Their cocktail menu was quite interesting, so we got two of their cocktails which were delicious. We continued to order 4 dishes and a dessert. The Ode to Rangoon was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! Definitely a must tried. My next favourite was the Apple Cider Donuts. They were SO GOOD!!! Nothing we had wasn't amazing. The Queso with Chips and potato dish were also great. My boyfriend got the wings which he really enjoyed. It looks like they change their menu every so often. This is a highly recommended restaurant. The food and service was AMAZING!!!
