| - The only reason I am giving Eastside Social a 5 star rating is because it's not an option to give them a perfect 10! My little family and I live in TO and dining out amongst the amazing selection Toronto has, is a significant part of our life. We ordered the oysters (kusshi were the feature when we visited on 14Jan17) calamari, lobster bacon croquettes (our fav), flank steak and herbed frites. With beer and cocktail, juice for the little lad, this was the perfect amount for my husband, I and our 6yr old experienced diner. All this was finished with a roasted plum tart which our server so fittingly described as "it tastes like Christmas". Everything was prepared perfectly, not a criticism to say. But the element that blew this whole experience over the top in our books was the service. I'm only sorry I didn't get anyone's names. When we arrived, we were greeted with an enthusiastic young gent who described the night's features and gave us first timers advice on ordering to share. Next our main server was truly a master at his art. He tended to us with such enthusiasm and warmth, despite having a full house, it felt like we were visiting with an old friend. By the end of the night, we left with a hug! It's clear he is not only excellent at what he does, but shares his personal flare of enthusiasm that will surely keep customers coming back to Eastside. A week later and we're still talking about it...he's probably destroyed us for other restos! This was our first visit, definitely not our last and next time, we'll get names.
