    Our New Year's Day dinner at Reign was outstanding! Half a dozen oysters to start, nice and fresh with freshly shave horseradish and two sauces; entrees consisted of lobster linguine, perfectly cooked al dente, braised beef cheeks that were melt in your mouth tender, Cornish hen and duck a l'orange, cooked medium. Everything tasted delicious (we like to share!) and the presentations were first class. Entree plates were nice and warm, the sigh of a top-notch venue. Services was very professional, charming and impeccable. We felt very well taken care of, in an authentic way. Place was not full, but we weren't looking for a high-energy place after NYE. It was very enjoyable and just the dinner we were looking forward to kick off 2025. Also the decor around the hotel was simply stunning, well done Royal York! We will definitely be back, and not just on special occasions. Merci!

    Our experience was amazing from the time we walked in to the time we left. They really do value the customer, I asked one gentleman where the washroom was and he escorted me all the way there. Our waitress, did not catch her name unfortunately, was outstanding! She introduced us to a new wine, and was very knowledgeable about the wine! They even offered my partner and I a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! Will definitely be returning!

    I like that underground parking is connected to the restaurant so we didn’t have to step outside in the freezing cold.
