"The kitchen knows how to keep customers happy with consistently well executed dishes while the front of house hums a welcoming tune that's friendly yet professional." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Pasta Bar is a Toronto institution – and less pricey than the elegant main dining room, which has been serving up inventive, consistently excellent cuisine for decades."
Time Out "The food is stellar, as refined as can be found in Toronto; for a (slightly) more modestly priced meal, visit the the Pasta Bar next door." Full review

Gayot14.0
"In the mood for Shanghai, Hong Kong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu or Shandong dishes? No matter what you choose it will be authentic---and likely well-prepared." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With exceptional Cantonese cuisine, this elegant two-level restaurant in the Metropolitan Hotel redefines and updates classic Chinese fare."
Time Out "Dim-sum trolleys are wheeled out all over Chinatown at the weekend in Toronto, but none of the food is as fine as the fare at Lai Wah Heen (though you'll pay for the quality)." Full review
Rough Guide "The name means "elegant meeting place" which this Chinese restaurant most certainly is."
Frommer's "The interior is vintage Art Deco; spare pictograms dominate the walls of the two-level space. The extensive menu is mainly Cantonese, and regulars come for the excellent Peking duck, dim sum" Full review
