About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.

Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.

Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.

Hidden gem. Great service, amazing food. Had the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon ( loved the crispy wedges and the side salad was so tasty)! Would have liked the eggs to be cooked just a tad longer but overall a good meal. The blueberry pancakes was the table favourite. Definitely a must-have if you’re having brunch. Buttery, sweet and fluffy.

The highlight of my time at this restaurant was the server. My server was Paige, she was very friendly, polite and easy going. She recommended wonderful dishes for us to try. She made sure to come back and check on us periodically to see if there was anything that needed. She provided phenomenal service and deserves a raise.

Our entire experience was absolutely perfect EXCEPT for one very simple issue which is incredibly easy to fix. I appreciate that the staff would like to clean up the empty tables as early as they can in order to ensure a quick closing time when the closing time actually comes... but removing the candle from our table (while we're still in the middle of eating dinner) at least 30 minutes before the actual closing time was honestly pretty shocking to me. It immediately conveyed "It's time to leave" and it would be such a trivial thing to pick up after we had actually finished and left. I'm not sure if this is standard procedure or just one waitresses' poor choice, but I would highly recommend changing the practice.

Our server, Sean, was very helpful, professional, and accommodating. He was responsive, and when there were minor things (ie. a side order of syrup) was late, he took it off our bill. Overall, very well managed. Great service- really good food. Nice atmosphere. Would go again! Great value all around.

Good Son Don Mills is a family go-to on Wednesday for the amazing pizza special. My fave is the Mauna Loa. Will be making Thursdays an alternate go-to as my son is a huge fan of their steak frite (double fried!). Daniel is always vey friendly & welcoming and Jo (restuarant manager) is great and and always attentiver.
