Two locations offering a unique dining experience of nostalgic flavours in an elegantly comfortable setting. The Good Son is a neighbourhood restaurant and bar embracing the local Toronto culture. Stop by for a quick drink or a quick bite, or to stay the entire night and eat and drink whatever and wherever they like.
The Good Son's menu is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified Toronto, with a focus on local and seasonal organic produce, hormone free and free range proteins, and most importantly, shared food. The menu is designed so that guests are encouraged to share plates, to create the ultimate social dining experience.

My company treated us here for a Christmas Dinner. We were a big group that needed to be seated at a total of four tables. The food was delicious and the service was great. They made sure to ask if we had any dietary restrictions before the night started, always made sure our drinks were topped up and cleared the tables of any empty dishes. The atmosphere was cozy and the walls were all decorated.

Tried the Good Son last night and a recommendation from a friend. It did not disappoint. Had a girls night out and we enjoyed the cocktails (The gin and juice was perfection), and shared some apps and mains. All were delicious but the stand out items were definitely the brussel sprouts and the kale salad. Would go back here in a heartbeat. Great food, and an amazingly cozy atmosphere.

We ordered a burger, pizza and a some pasta. Probably one the best pizzas I had. That wood fire oven really just takes everything to the next level. Although we sat by the window we had a great time people watching and just focusing on the experience. I highly recommend anyone who visit Toronto to come here. Our server was such a gentleman and provided amazing service.

The first reaction after saw the staff helping the white racist attacked the Asian, and none of the staff helped, however, they pushed the Asian away and protected the white racist after the Asian took advantage . I won't go there again as an Asian! The manager of this restaurant didn't even bother to explain

Second time ordering; Second time loving it.
Highly recommend trying the Bulgogi Short Ribs w. Kimchi Rice. It's like crack. Heck, I don't even believe crack is as addictive as this dish.
MUST TRY.
I can't wait to try dining in at the restaurant once we're out of this pandemic. In the meantime, i'll continue to indulge in various items including your burgers, pizza, and meatballs.
Order was quick, seamless, and delivery (Doordash) was fast. Food arrived warm and packaged well.

This is one of my favourite spots in the city with excellent service, food and vibe. I am so glad you guys are on UberEats currently and can't wait to dine in when possible. I have had a few of my birthdays at your downtown location, and no other establishment has been able to deliver the same experience. The family style option, amazing cocktails and the attention to detail and service ... can't be beat. I highly recommend The Good Son, they have an awesome brunch too!

This is hands down my favourite restaurant in the city. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. The food & drink selection is phenomenal (especially the food...the Pizza & Brussels are out of this world, along with a few other items). The atmosphere is the best part. Very unique and a mix of old/new school art/furniture. The Good Son is the perfect balance between casual and upscale dining and the price point is just right. They nailed it.
This will be the first restaurant I go to when the city re-opens.
Thanks Good Son Family for all of the amazing experiences and meals over the

Ordered chicken and waffles, waffles were cold. they kindly replaced it, however my chicken was now raw. manager said this happens once a week! I then asked for the eggs Benny instead. I was famished and about half way through realized my bacon was undercooked! worst food experience. praying I do not get food poisoning.

We went here on a Friday without a reservation and they were able to seat us which was really refreshing. It's HUGE instead and has a really neat atmosphere. Really interesting decor like a wall of clocks.
Our server was very well versed on the menu and great at being around when we needed.
We just went for drinks (but did get the fries which were OUTSTANDING. so I'm curious to go back and try more on the menu. Really eclectic assortment of menu items). I got the Mexican Divorce which I really enjoyed. The glassware was also beautiful.
Looking forward to going back and trying more

Great decor, atmosphere and the service was phenomenal.
First time going to the restaurant and we were impressed with the service. Food and drinks were great! I had the Bulgogi fried rice(so good!!!) while my gf had the Ontario PEI lobster soup. The soup was part of their anniversary menu. Drinks were worth it since we arrived during happy hour.

5 stars for the service and our bartender, Jamal! He made awesome custom cocktails based on what we were both looking for and was super helpful with recommendations for our touristy venturing around. Cool yet casual vibe, plus it was $10 pizza Wednesday! Absolutely no complaints, all around a great experience.

We had such a fabulous time at the Good Son. Our waiter had such a great personality and was very attentive. All of the food was amazing - we ordered several dishes for the table and shared everything. The Oysters were excellent and the Brussels sprouts were definitely a favourite - would definitely recommend them!
The restaurant has a very unique vibe with antique photographs and grandfather clocks all across the walls for a very homey feeling. I was very pleased with my experience- will definitely be returning.
Thanks for a great meal and excellent service!

This restaurant was a delicious experience. I went with colleagues and we all found it enjoyable.
The ambience was loud if you’re ok with that type of thing.
The food took a while to come out but the restaurant was very busy and the manager brought out some comped apps as an apology which was a delight.
The food was all incredible and would definitely recommend going back. I’m excited to visit in the summer when they have the front windows open!

Finally!!! So excited they finally opened a location uptown!!
Tastes just as good as I remembered it to be, well I mean the same as the downtown location.
The atmosphere is exactly the same too, love the decor.
Love the Brussel sprouts! I will say the Brussel sprouts were small but super tasty!
The steak tartare was another one of my favorites. Love how they marinate it, tasted delicious.
Mains took long to come out. They said the kitchen was busy but the tables weren't full and spotted a staff in the kitchen texting....not to mention a couple that came 2 tables after us got their pizza

A group of 7 of us easily made a reservation on Tuesday night - could have walked in. The decor and vibes in here really make the place! Great time spent with friends, or even a date.
THE SERVICE IS EXCELLENT!!!
Food: I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon, cooked medium. The burger itself was cooked perfectly. The burger came with a side of fries ... seemed like i got the bottom of the bag of fries since they were all super small pieces, but I didn't care since I had a big burger.
10/10 recommend stopping here when you're in town!

Went with a group of four so I got to try a few more items :)
Fried Brussels/ everyone liked them.
Burrata Cheese/ not enough for 4 to share, because it's burrata and everyone wants more.
Fish of the day, Sea Bream. Tender and delicious! Paired with a chickpea salad so it was nice and fresh (it was a larger serving, served cold and the taster wanted it warmed up- I liked it cold but thought it could go either way)
The BURGER! yes, it's $19. Hands down this is one of Toronto's BEST burgers, it's a tie for first place with Pearl Diver. It's so tasty and cooked to perfection

I really enjoyed my time at the Good Son.
I love the open space, and the decor of this restaurant. It gives off a really relaxing vibe and it is the perfect dinner spot.
My friend and I were craving pizza so we came here for the wood over pizza's. We ordered the Spicy Brussels Sprout to start and then got the Prosciutto Pizza and the Capricciosa pizza. The Prosciutto Pizza was my favourite because it had Arugula on it and who doesn't like Prosciutto!!! The Capricciosa Pizza was a little bitter for me because of the Artichokes (but still super tasty). I highly recommend the Spicy Brussels

Came here for brunch over the weekend with a group of 5 friends since other reviews had mentioned the good food. Reservations were made ahead of time and our table was a booth which was nice. A few members of the party were late and we trickled in slowly. From the very beginning we experienced poor customer service. Waiter did not introduce himself nor did he inquire what we wanted to drink. It was like he was giving us attitude and service was just awkward. It felt like he didn't want to serve our table at all.
The food was delicious, our party ordered the eggs benny, chicken and waffles
