Reviews for Hendriks Restaurant & Bar in Toronto, ON
Celebrated my "solo" birthday at Hendrik's yesterday. I thought I'd try it out since I haven't been. I love the atmosphere, the... decor and set up (classy). It was pretty quiet for Monday afternoon at 1PM which I immensely enjoyed as I crave NOT of anyloudness and noise. I only ordered two from the menu plus a cocktail drink ~ 1st an appetizer - Crispy Calamari with herb &honey cajun aioli for $17; 2nd main course of Prime N.Y. Striploin Steak Chimichurri 14 oz. with seasonal vegetables ofbroccoli, carrots and mushrooms for $49 and a drink, the Aperol Spritz for $15. The portions were reasonably filling. If I mayadd a slight disappointment on the steak hence the 4 stars as opposed to 5. I find it slightly hard to cut albeit I asked formedium well. However, I have had steaks cooked in medium well from one or two well known steak joint in Toronto and I was indeedpleased and enjoyed every bite of it. I asked to pack half of the steak for home take out. It would've been deliciously savouredhad it been tender to cut. I ate it later at night for dinner. Mind you, it was deliciously flavoured with the chimichurri andvegetables on the sides. Last minute decision, I ordered two desserts to take home (sweet tooth that I am) - Warm ChocolateBrownie with Vanilla ice cream and Pecan Pie. I requested for the ice cream to serve and brownie to pack. Lo and behold...Anastacia served the ice cream with one small candle hence made me happy to blow and make a wish on my special day ofcelebrating life! Read more
????My bf and I chose Hendriks as our date night spot and we were so glad we did ???? Phenomenal service, tasty food, and such a... cozy romantic atmosphere! I got the Steak & frites (swapped for a loaded baked potato), and my boyfriend got the Hendricksburger with fries. We both really enjoyed our meals! (P.S the espresso martinis are to die for!)

Nice spot for food and drinks. Small menu but the items we tried were delicious and were served in good portions. The NY... StripLoin Sandwich, steak, ribs and souvla platter are wonderfully presented in the attached. I didn’t appreciate that wewanted to change seats and weren’t allowed to and then other guests came and sat down and got to change seats. Waitressdidn’t give us water to start off with either. Overall it has nice decor, tasty food with reasonable prices in generousportions. Read more
We visited this place for drinks around 0530 pm so we still managed to order from happy hour . The interiors are nicely done and... you have an option to sit at tables or bar . The cocktails are average and I won’t say it’s worth the price . We didn’torder food but it looked good as a lot of people were eating there . Service was decent . Read more
Did some outside dining during the end of summer (2021) and it was a fantastic experience at this lovely restaurant! Prices are... solid, food is phenomenal and the service in and out was extremely impressive, having no problems/issues during themeal. Having a light lunch I tried two appetizers and they were both filling and extremely taste. I had not one problem withthe meals and dare I say the crispy calamari they serve (look at photos) is the best I've had in Toronto, and with the sauseit's absolutely fantastic! I also had the greek taco's (also in the photos) which were very taste and hardy considering thesize. My cousin had the club Hendricks and he loved it (also in the photos), and if I wasnt so preoccupied with my own food Iwould've wanted a bite of his! This resturant has a good variety of food and drinks meant more for a slightly older crowd, butis a very nice place for a very exquisite meal with friends, family, coworkers, etc. I also appreciate the price for such a hightraffic area being right in the heart of downtown Toronto (just south of dundas square) and on yonge street no less. Best bangfor your buck for a more lavished experience! Read more
Amazing service, great drinks. The food was very good. I had the salmon, was just slightly disappointed at the portion size. ... For $33 I'd have expected something else on the plate. You can see from the picture it's quite bare. Other then that, 5/5. Read more
First time tried this place and I enjoyed food and services. Calamari was crispy and flavourful while still have tenderness from... squids. Loved my salad with steak and fries. Steak was served in cool with salad and comes with side of fries. Fried onionstrings on the salad were bit hard for me but still good to eat My friend ordered Hendriks burger and he finished all. As perhis comments, it was tasty too Our server was also professional and friendly. Read more
