Wynona - Toronto, Ontario

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere! The pork belly dish was melt-in-your-mouth amazing (though small in portion size) and the branzino was grilled to perfection- highly recommend👌🏻. The miso tonnarelli was unfortunately a miss for us- a bit too salty for our taste. Overall, Wynona was a great dining experience!

Having just returned from a weekend at Quebec City, where we've tried some truly wonderful restaurants, Wynona was such a let down. Indicative of everything that is wrong with this city, the pompous emptiness, serving basic feed at top cuisine price levels. Eventually, you get whole radishes, roots and all, ... covered in breadcrumbs. Are diners expected to devour these whole? Slicing them with a dull table knife was quite the effort. Mains were slightly less disappointing, but nothing to write home about. The Octopus pasta was the only enjoyable one despite superfluous levels of lemon. Short rib pasta was basically a Barilla with some blandly cooked beef. The place was very loud and the service slow and unprofessional. The waiter never asked us about the food (we may have said something in person, rather than leaving this review). The only time he paid attention to us was during bill payment. The lowest tip option on the machine was 18%, with him standing by looking the whole time so I wouldn't feel comfortable to manually enter a more appropriate percentage. Classy. I wonder what they served to the Michelin people, probably not this. Read more

I've long considered Wynona one of my top recommendations in Toronto, so it was with great enthusiasm that I brought my family there last night, eager to showcase its culinary delights. Previously, I admired their high food standards and the warm, inviting atmosphere created by their open kitchen. However, our ... recent experience with the new menu was profoundly disappointing. We sampled nearly every dish on the new menu, and sadly, it fell short of expectations. The baked carrot was particularly underwhelming—hard and served with a topping that completely overwhelmed its natural flavors. It seemed they used a type of carrot better suited for broth than roasting, missing the sweetness of thinner varieties. The yellowtail crudo was disappointingly chunky and had a fishy taste, lacking both flavor and visual appeal. This was a stark contrast to the scallop crudo from the old menu, which had always been a favorite of mine. The clam pasta was the night's sole highlight, boasting handmade, perfectly textured pasta, though even this dish had minor flaws like sandy clams, which I didn't mind much given the overall quality. Conversely, the grilled meat topped with pickled mushrooms did not impress, and both the bread and grilled sea bass were overcooked to the point of bitterness, with the char lines turning an unappetizing matte black. I was particularly let down because I knew how excellent their previous offerings were, and I had hoped to impress my family with this hidden gem. The kitchen, usually fragrant with delicious aromas, was noticeably devoid of any appealing food scents. It seems the new menu might be more cost-effective, but at the expense of quality, which felt almost deceitful. I regret to write such a critical review, as Wynona had always held a special place in my dining preferences. It's rare for me to leave negative feedback, but I felt embarrassed having recommended what turned out to be a disappointing experience. Read more

Had a dinner date there. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good (especially the rabbit lasagna they had at the time), the service was fine (a tiny bit slow, and once we got our food, waitress was a bit insisting on us getting more food). Pretty modern ... decor. Very reasonable price. You should go :) Read more

Our local Michelin guide restaurant is always packed with trendy guests which intrigues us. Thanks to my husband's reservation two months ahead, we got to experience the lovely Valentine's set menu. Food quality & presentation are consistent. They used plenty of healthy ingredients for traditional dishes to give it a fresh ... look and taste. Our favorite was the burrata and the duck breast, both are well executed. Definitely going back in the summer for their patio! Read more
