Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Little Italy / College St.

Fantastic food and service as always ! My favourite restaurant in Yorkville

We had an incredible experience at Maximes From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the beef tartare, the burrata, the sea bass was a perfect blend of flavor. The dessert menu was equally impressive, with the tiramisu being a true standout. The attention to detail, both in the service and the food, was truly top-notch. This is easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Our server/bartender Driss Amir was outstanding D’j was Incredible Highly recommended!"

Incredible food and service. We’ve been a few times and my fiance is celiac and they’re always very accommodating but it feels like pulling teeth trying to find out what’s gluten free and what isn’t. It happens every time. A little bit more food and menu knowledge would go a long way in her being comfortable eating what’s brought to her.

There were three of us for the Festive Tea at Clockwork. It was a wonderful experience! The staff was very attentive, and the food and tea were delightful. As I have food allergies, special precautions were taken by the staff to negate cross-contamination of any allergens. This was smoothly done because of a note when arranging our reservation. Clockwork called the week prior to the reservation to confirm, and I appreciated that very much. The beautiful decorations, wonderful atmosphere and service, made this a special Seasonal Treat that we hope to continue to make a part of our holiday celebrations in the future.

Food and service were great. Lovely spot to grab a bite before an event.
