What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise REIGN’s elevated Canadian dishes, with standouts like Ontario lamb, sustainable seafood, and farm-fresh vegetables. Guests rave about the classy ambiance and the professional, friendly staff. The brunch and breakfast menus are also crowd favorites for those catching matinee shows or starting their day in style.

Areas for Improvement

It’s an upscale spot, so prices are on the higher end—something to keep in mind if you're watching your concert budget. The elegant setting may feel a bit formal for those seeking a purely casual bite, and walk-ins can sometimes face a wait, especially on event nights. Reservations are recommended.
