On a visit to Toronto and needing a break in the heat we saw the sign for Happy Hour outside - great location, lovely place for a quick pit stop. We only had a drink but were served by Angela who was a joy - pleasant, fast and very friendly helping make it a great spot for a couple of beers. Actually taking time to talk, and actually converse was lovely. That extra touch. Would recommend for the happy hour alone but a credit to her for making it such a memorable visit. Thank you!

What a great downtown dining experience! Located right between the TD Towers, this restaurant is a perfect spot for lunch or dinner, especially during patio season. The patio is beautiful and one of the best places to enjoy a meal at this time of year.

The service was great from start to finish, and all of the appetizers were delicious. While the tuna wasn’t my favorite dish, the wagyu dumplings and octopus were outstanding and packed with flavor.

For my main course, I asked our server for a recommendation and went with the halibut. It was an excellent choice, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily the highlight of my meal.

Great atmosphere, attentive service, and very good food.

First time at Bymark. Had an early Friday dinner with a colleague and really enjoyed my meal. Was a little breezy outside so we ate downstairs around 7:30 and it was quite empty, everyone else seemed to opt for the patio.

The menu had no vegan options listed but when I inquired there were numerous options available… I opted for their vegan lasagna and I’d highly recommend it. It was delicious.

I could have made better notes as their online menu doesn’t track to what I recall… we had a starter that included a sweet pea based falafel, which I had never seen before, it was also great, a nice bright green falafel, which when you think about it, makes sense, yet I was still surprised to see it, would order again for sure.

I did opt for two scoops of their sorbet for dessert… both great, but again forget what they were and no help from the website. Server suggested the scoops were a modest size so I went for two… but they were pretty big, would have been fine with just one… naturally I ate them both :).

Will gladly return.

Came here for a family get together and was not disappointed. My second time dining at Bymark and I recall the food was delicious hence recommending it to family. It was a slower evening so only one waitress was serving but she was very friendly.

We got to try the dry aged duck, the rib eye steak which was tender and juicy cooked perfectly, oysters, salmon and a bunch of sides. Portions were fair , taste was on par to my expectations.

The cocktails were just okay. Location was conveniently located inside the PATH. Would definitely come back again

Found some pictures of when I visited with a group last year. Food was memorable even after a year. So good. Service was great. These dumplings OMG. Need to go back one day.

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing experience! From when we got there untill the time we left. The hostess that greeted us was super friendly and kind. We sat downstairs in the dining room. The restaurant itself was absolutely gorgeous. It wasn’t super busy, so it made for a wonderful birthday celebration, we didn’t feel rushed and we didn’t have to fight the noise of a pack restaurant. . Our server was amazing. The food, phenomenal!! The quality superior.! I’d definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant for anyone looking have a nice night out. Thank you to everyone for making this special.

Terrible service and food was not worth it.
It was really empty on a Saturday night, maybe 3 or 4 tables in the entire restaurant at 7:30pm.
Waiter tried to be pleasant but it felt like he wanted to rush the service and go home. We asked him at 8:15pm what time they closed and he said kitchen closes at 9pm. He kept spilling our bottled sparkling water all over the table (dumping the entire bottle into a glass and seemed to be rushing even though there were no other tables to serve). He brought 5 or 6 bottles of sparkling water and just kept pouring and spilling it.
We ordered 2 of the grilled octopus but they gave more squid than octopus. Better to buy it at Costco and make it myself. The donut dessert was terrible. It did not look anything like the other reviews. All the donut pieces were on one side of the plate like someone didn't balance the plate properly. I didn't take a photo as it looked terrible!
I had been here a few times before but this may be my last as the service definitely went downhill and the food- definitely not worth it anymore. Our bill was $1100 but just felt it wasn't quite worth it. This was a pre-birthday celebrate for me but I felt disappointed. Looking forward to where we are going on my real birthday where I will post another review.

A pretty solid spot in the financial district. We ordered steak, a few appetizers, crab meat tacos, and sea bass—everything was fresh and well-prepared. The outdoor seating is a big plus when summer’s here. Prices are on the higher side, but overall it’s a nice experience.

Bymark Toronto – A Little Oasis in the Heart of the Financial District 🌿

I had bookmarked Bymark for a while now after seeing it pop up on an influencer’s IG reel, and finally made it there for a summer lunch — and let me just say, the location does not disappoint. Beautifully tucked between the towering TD buildings, the patio feels like a calm little escape in the middle of the concrete jungle.

We got a lovely spot right by the flowers, which really added to the vibe. While I was waiting for my friend (thanks to the eternal downtown parking struggle), I did feel some subtle pressure from the staff — those lingering looks and the “when will your guest arrive” energy was slightly uncomfortable.

But once we settled in, the food more than made up for it. I ordered their garden salad paired with a glass of Prosecco Rosé — such a refreshing combo for a summer afternoon. The freshly baked focaccia was warm and fluffy, and my friend’s seared yellowfin tuna was perfectly done and full of flavour.

That said, there was one downside — the service felt a bit too eager. Multiple check-ins asking if we were “still working on that” or if they could clear our plates began to feel a little intrusive, especially since the patio wasn’t full and the place stays open well into the evening. A more relaxed pace would have matched the serene setting better.

One suggestion — it would be great to see a few more vegan options on the menu. Right now, there are maybe two or three at best.

Would I return? Absolutely. For that unbeatable downtown summer vibe alone, I’d come back — maybe next time for cocktails at golden hour 🌇.

Even with the nice location and ambiance, the food doesn’t justify the price.
The shrimp pasta and the green salad was good but the meatball pasta was way too salty and the wagyu dumpling was very disappointing. Any frozen dumpling from tnt would taste better. The service was okay, though it could have been a bit more attentive.

Tried its celebrated burger and was disappointed..! Very greasy ….I could not even finish it. Good service and ambience.

This multi level venue offers a dynamic experience; the Bar Lounge features a lively atmosphere with happy hour specials, handcrafted drinks, and a live DJ while the Main Dining Room provides a more refined dining experience. Every dish was impressive, but standout recommendations include the Wagyu dumplings, truffle fries, and freshly shucked oysters.

Has a very business centric vibe. A number of larger groups, plus very reflective surfaces made it a bit loud for our taste. Not a quiet romantic candlelight type place.

They got unexpectedly busy because of a rain storm, but adjusted. The bar may be two floors up, not ideal for the servers if true. My cocktail,did not come until after the apps were served, but was still excellent.

The tuna tartar was excellent. The steak tartar was good but did not need the bone marrow, and lacked acid. The chips that came with the steak tartar were not as crisp as they should have been, not surprising given the really hot and humid weather.

Entrees were outstanding. The tenderloin with bone marrow was very unique in presentation and perfectly cooked. The veal schnitzel was crisp and delicious but needed a lemon wedge again for more acid) which they gladly brought. Seasoning was gentle, nothing over-salted.

Dessert and espressos were amazing. Best riff on donuts ever.

So all in all got better and better over the meal which is rare.

Cam here for a work function dinner. It provided good food, nice ambiance, and is easily accessible from the PATH system. Service a bit slow.
