| - I came here with an old friend, looking for a chill place to wind down the evening and have some drinks and dessert. If I just had to review this place as a lounge it would easily get 4 stars for the stunning view of downtown Toronto, and modern and classy atmosphere. The servers were pretty attentive, and the drinks are decent. I ordered a couple different cocktails (each around $14!!!). One was pretty good, I think it was the White Russian, the other called Electric Blue or something like that was a sugary overload, it felt like I was drinking frozen blue raspberry Kool-Aid! Not enjoyable at all!
However, this place is called Panorama Lounge & RESTAURANT! And for that, it loses a couple stars because the food was not only heinously expensive, but portions were meagre and everything tasted awful. I have had much better lemon tarts purchased in the frozen dessert section at the grocery store! In fact, both desserts we got (lemon tart and some chocolate brownie thing) tasted like they were semi-thawed out frozen desserts.
Given the fact that there are a few other rooftop bars (I love the Roof Lounge at the Hyatt) around this area with just as stunning a view (and similar price tags), but much, MUCH better food and more creative and tasty drinks, I won't be visiting Panorama again.
