  • As a local Torontonian, I find that restaurants in Toronto are plentiful. However, when it comes to their decor, it is almost as if they try too hard to say "look at how wonderful our space is!" and then lack on continuity when it comes to the food. Byblos is a fusion of Middle Eastern Food, yes. The decor is very modern with a vintage feel as if you're in an upscale New York members only bar. With rustic wall art and half circle benches, it is pretty neat to see how it is decorated but there is no Middle Eastern feel. We were greeted by our server who was courtesy. One of the my biggest pet peeves however is when you enter a restaurant in Toronto and are advised once seated that the menu is tapas style. This to me translates to "We serve you less portions but charge you more." which is pretty much what we encountered. The server did advise us on how the menu worked and made suggestions on how much to order for our party. To me, this is a turn off as now we are ordering more smaller dishes to share as opposed to just ordering what we wanted. Nonetheless, the food was well presented and very tasty, but, portions were small. The entrees themselves, were very big. A friend ordered the Red Snapper which I have to admit, was really good and I do not eat fish at all. The Cornish Hen is plentiful and that can be shared with 3 people for sure. This would have been helpful to have been advised instead of ordering so many smaller tapas styles items. In addition, one turn off as well is that the kitchen staff come out to serve the food and advise what the food is. On our night, it was very loud and we could not hear the chefs at all If you are dining with 2 people, with appetizers, a drink each, main, dessert and a tip, expect to pay over $100 for sure. Byblos is a great place for celebrating an event, great first date, if you're in Toronto and want to splurge but if you're traveling and are watching your wallet, I would suggest other establishments.
