Spent a wonderful evening at Aviv, celebrating my wedding anniversary. Service was just great, friendly and fun. Robert is fantastic and pays great attention to each and every customer. Lovely wine list and serves the best caesars in town. Thought the prices were very reasonable and worth every penny
Met up with some friends I haven't seen in forever at Aviv for Stop 2 of my Winterlicious adventures. It was very busy! We only waited a few minutes before we were seated by the owner. He was serving, clearing tables and greeting people; he was on top of things! He apologized for the wait even though there wasn't really one long enough to complain about. He had a good sense of humour about it and laughed at my jokes, so he was already winning in my books! ;)

We were on our way to the Chihuly exhibit on Saturday, and we stopped at Aviv for a late-ish lunch just before 1 pm. It wasn't too busy, so we were promptly seated. Were were given the regular brunch menu as well as today's brunch menu specials.
Except for the $5 Bloody Caesar on the specials menu, we stayed on the regular menu. Although the restaurant cuisine is supposed to be from various countries around the Mediterranean, about half of their brunch menu was fairly typical North American fare.
SWMBO chose the Beef Brisket Hash (braised beef brisket sautéed with baby spinach, caramelized onion, aged cheddar, topped with two fried eggs, sunny side up, soft). It was a fairly large portion, served in a casserole dish. Nice blend of flavours.
I had the Cubana Eggs Benny (braised pulled pork on house made sweet potato biscuits, two poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce, home fries). The pulled pork and the home fries were good. However for me the biscuits were a little bit too thick and dense for eggs Benedict. It was a bit difficult to cut with the soft egg. Tasted good though.
First of all the service is great as Rob is very friendly and accommodating. I miss the old wynn salad with feta, grilled balsamic chicken, avocado, cranberries and mixed greens. But my favourite dishes have to be the Short rib pizza and the gnocchi. The Eggs Benedict for brunch are also delicious. Very cozy place to have some food and drinks with family or friends.
I've never been a fan of Mediterranean food...but what Aviv provided us was much more than good food. The environment was extremely cozy and perfect for a family style meal. Server was on point and definetely helped with our experience. If you're looking for great food, top notch service than this is definetely a place to check out in the Annex.
A great cozy restaurant with a nice atmosphere, great food, and service with a smile. They have really good homemade gnocchi and a large selection of beverages!
Its a great place. The beat salad is amazing, along with their pizzas (I love the one with the pulled pork looking meat/rib). The gnochi is always made perfectly. Rob (The manager, I know his name because he is the most friendliest manager any restaurant can have) is happy is assist you with anything. I think the burgers are pretty decent. One time my friend took a bite of the cheese cake we ordered after promising he was too full to eat, and after the bite, he flipped out! Because it was so light and creamy! It was the best cheese cake I have ever eaten in my life!!! The pumkin pie cheese cake isn't bad either! Overall, the place is down the street from Dupont. And the interior is very friendly!
First time here with a friend and it was great! Located downstairs, this hidden gem offered great food, wine and staff. Our server was so friendly! He was very knowledgeable about the different selections and was always checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a cozy neighborhood restaurant, I would give Aviv a shot. Great prices here as well.
This place is awesome! Food is great and service is spot on. Try the pizza's, one of the city's best. Ask for Robert, he'll take care of you personally.
Great dishes! From the Greek cuisine to Italian pastas, it's all delicious here!
They are relatively slow to bring out dishes when you order take out so order in advance. However they are very quick when you order to dine-in. Their staff and service is quite good and accommodating!
Haven't had a negative experiences here thus far and would recommend you stop by if you're in the area! Wraps, pastas, they're all good.
Nice area and has a patio space outside for great outdoor lunches. Tasty salads and pitas filled with flavour and the sides are good too. Try the caesar salad and breast chicken. Service and get slow during busy hours
This place is amazing! If you are looking for huge portions and nice ambient, you should definitly check this place out!
They serve authentic greek food that is very tasty and everything here is fresh. It is a little bit pricey but portions are huge and they have great customer service.
This is the best greek meal in the town!
Amazing meal. Such big portions, friendly service, warm and open atmosphere. Me and my friend shared the pork/chicken souvlaki platter which came with pita, meat, salad, grilled vegetables, and rice for $21 and we were totally full. Our waitress was attentive and sweet and we never felt rushed in our meal. Food is delicious, especially how tender the meat is. Potatoes are flavorful, baked in, not just bland. Definitely worth coming back!
Best Greek restaurant in town. Great menu with lots of variety and the best hummus I've ever had. Better than homemade!
Need to try their baklava. To die for :-)
Right on Yonge Street just north of Bloor
