Mix Bistro Bar - Toronto

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed Bartender Maria! She was a delightful woman who shared local tips and crafted incredible cocktails. The piano player also contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. A delightful discovery in our hotel.

Located at Hyatt Regency. Good small plate options for a drink and bite. In heart of entertainment district. Convenient if you are staying at hotel.

I visited this restaurant 2 years ago and it was amazing. I went back this past weekend, Oct 18.We had the butternut squash soup and mussels for appetizers. The soup was luke warm, and the mussels were almost non existent. I have never seen so many small mussels. Would advise not to get the mussels.The entree was ok. The food lacked presentation, but the seafood pasta was tasty. They need to know that pasta is cheap. Don't skimp. The other dish wash Halibut. The halibut was sitting on a bed of rice, which was tasteless. Once again, don't skimp on the rice. Pasta and rice are cheap. We both still felt hungry, and loaded up on their herb bread, which was very good.I was so looking forward to coming back to this place, but after our recent experience, I wouldn't. I asked if it was the same chef as they had 2 years ago. Apparently not, and that explains the lack of flavor in some of the dishes.The waiter was not very attentive. I had the mussels and didn't get a bowl to put them empty ones in, until I asked.

Had dinner at the Mix Bistro Bar inside the Downtown Toronto Hyatt. The "Bistro" is on the street level and is located in a small cozy section of the hotel. I think there were a total of 10 tables or so....total. Service was good and I had the Phuket mussels and sirloin steak. Food was good and staff were generally friendly. I was pleasantly surprised with the food and the service. The prices were average for Toronto standards. If I were staying at the hotel and did not want to leave, I would consider the restaurant for dinner.

My first night at the Hyatt my fiance and I had dinner here. The food was excellent and the staff and service were superb.
