Dr G has closed

This was one of my favourite restaurants in the Bloor West Village. Fantastic food; good service; corkage fee Mon - Wed. HOWEVER, Dr. G IS NO MORE. Sadly the notice on the windows shows they have ceased operation. Like a phoenix bird, a restaurant called the Sparrow is to open in its place. We look forward to their opening.

Rude

I will never go here again and I make a point of sharing my experience with others. The server we had was aloof and did not return with our drinks or take our order for over an hour. We followed up with her to inquire and she was rude to us. I was shocked because my friend politely asked she... more

Great weekend brunch-generous portions

I've eaten here quite a bit over the last few years and always find the food very tasty and nicely prepared. The portions are also generous which may account for the name! It does a bustling business on the weekends with locals knowing a good brunch when they meet it. Nice fresh fruit is added to most plates, the coffee... more

Good reliable food, service ok

Have always had a decent meal here - been here many times for brunch, lunch and only once for dinner - but the service is always a little lacking - they just always seem so busy and indifferent. I have been here with and without kids - I personally haven't found them that kid friendly so prefer to go here... more

This Doctor has a terrible bed side manner

True to the experience you'll have at a doctor's office there's a ton of people in the waiting room and they're just pushing you through. If you're coming here with friends and you want to hang out and catch up be aware that when the meal is over, they want you out!

Sisters 50th Brunch

I took my sisters for brunch to celebrate one of their 50th birthday. As they don't take reservations I couldn't make arrangements for a surprise cake beforehand, so I spoke to the hostess as I followed her to my table so my sister wouldn't hear. It worked perfectly. I don't recall our servers name but she was excellent. We had... more

We were in Toronto staying with good friends who suggested Dr. Generosity for brunch before we drove home.
We have been here several times before and what is a constant is the great service, attention to detail and good food.

Best Hungover Brunch in BWV

This place seems to be the go-to-spot for The Real Housewives of BWV on weekends with prams all over the place and huge sparklers flanking mimosas, but regardless I come here for one thing and one thing only- THE EGGS BENNY. Order a coffee and you get a whole canister. Order the eggs benny and will be cured of any post-late-night-headache-stomachache-general bad-feelingness after you've... more

Terrific and super-friendly local

Dr. Generosity is a neighbourhood favourite in Bloor West Village. I first discovered it for brunch, and while packed I was still able to get a seat at the bar. After a couple of brunches I popped by for dinner. Consistently high quality from the kitchen. I would describe the food as traditional pub fare with some creativity, high-quality ingredients... more

Delicious!!!

I've been a fan of this Bloor West restaurant for years. Very consistent. Really great comfort food, awesome Brunch and the daily specials are fantastic. Great, relaxed atmosphere with wonderful service. The BYOW deals are the best in the city!! Oh yeah, the Sunday night Prime Rib is amazing.

Love it!

Dr G's is my favourite on the Bloor West strip. Healthy portions of great tasting food at reasonable prices. Love the Bring Your Own Wine prices (Mon $1, Tues $2, Wed $3) especially with the LCBO directly across the street. Can't beat the brunch on Sat and Sunday or the Beef Ribs on Thursdays.

What the doctor ordered

Good location and very nice place. I went with my boyfriend and we both ordered the Black Oak Nut Brown Ale and it was tasty and served cold with a friendly smile. I ordered the Grilled Fresh Salmon with lemon dill sauce and it was delicious. It was very busy and there isn't much wiggle room but the whole place... more

Great Restaurant

We enjoyed a great meal at this restaurant. Food was delicious and portions were typically large. The lasagne was wonderful along with the service.

No quite my type

Quite possibly the worst named restaurant in the world. When it opened, I thought from the outside it was a dentist office. A generous dentist, whatever that is.

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day. So I had high expectations going in. Happy to report I was not disappointed!

My salmon eggs benny was good but my SO's pulled pork eggs benny (their special today) was divine. Service fast and friendly. Ambience is great too.

I'm a fan!

Always good and reasonabley priced

Have enjoyed numerous dinners and brunches at Dr. Generosity. Staff are attentive, restaurant environment friendly and conducive to larger groups or couples. Bar at the front provides a casual area as well a small outside street patio is nice. two of our group had the special of the day "lamb" and were pleased, for me the ribs are always good... more

Excellent Service

We had dinner Saturday Night.
The patio - was open and we quickly grabbed a seat.
The menu was very good but the service was the key at this place. The server was very attentive and responded immediately.
I ordered the Sausage/Pasta, the risiotto was excellent
My partner ordered the lamb and it was excellent.
We definitely come back!

Great for Friends and Family

My cousin loves this place as she met her husband here, and we gathered there for dinner with them and our family elder (90) recently. The food was ample and tasty, and the portions were good. On certain nights of the week there is a very low fee for corkage, so we brought in some wonderful wines and had a... more

Great brunch spots that aren't rammed are hard to come by nowadays, and I'm jumping for joy after a friend suggested we have brunch at Dr. Generosity. I've been to this restaurant for dinner a number of times in the past and have always loved their specials and BYOW policy. Corkage fees are dirt cheap Mon-Wed and managable Thurs-Sun ($15 a bottle). I love that I have another reason to go here... more

I went there for Sunday brunch. Honestly, I was so excited to try a new place I couldn't wait. After carefully studying the menu we decided to order eggs Dostoyefsky and Huevos Rancheros. Both of them come with home fries, french fries or salad. My biggest mistake was ordering home fries. They were so burned they actually were black. I was really dissapointed after all these 5 star reviews on... more

Don't order the ribs

Not a bad general restaurant..quite lively on a Saturday night. Good value, as entrees include soup/salad, and side order. But this is not a bbq shop...they should not be offering ribs for $26...they are tough, and not much sauce. Thank goodness the sweet potato fries were ok. And would waiters please wait until everyone at the table has finished their... more

A Nice Lunch

Several of my girlfriends met for lunch at Dr. Generosity and although the service was a bit slow, the food was good. The grilled veggie wrap was done nicely but was a little heavy on the goat cheese so I would ask for less cheese next time. Because we were a large group, a 15% gratuity was already added on... more

I've just visited Dr.G's for the first time and I loved it!

The service was great, greeted with a smile and although we stayed a good half hour after close (oops sorry!) they didn't seem to mind at all

Now more importantly the food. Amazing! Their chili cheese nachos had the perfect proportions of chili to cheese and beans to meat. Most places where I order nachos I'll get to the bottom with... more

Great environment, eggs florentine was fantastic, good value too!

I went for weekday lunch, worked construction nearby. No complaints here!

Mobile review

Terrible food!! Terrible Staff!! Would rather get food poisoning from Barfdonald's. Stay away from this place!!

Underwhelming

The decor and ambiance are pleasant but the food just wasn't that great. It was worth a shot but I probably won't go back.

I'm always greeted with a smile when I come here--the owner knows me by name. We are almost always seated quickly, even when it's busy (and it often is!). Service is fast, unpretentious, helpful, friendly, and efficient. I never feel like the servers are trying to "up-sell" me. The food is always good--I come here almost every Sunday for brunch. Nice portion size, child friendly, good service.... more

We liked this neighbourhood restaurant because the food is reasonable and well prepared, with enough variety on the menu to satisfy everyone and there were gluten free options. it has a cosy environment, and you will likely be elbow to elbow with the next table.

Cozy and friendly

We have been to Dr. Generosity many times over the last several years and it remains one of the best restaurants in the High Park area. The place has a warm and cozy feeling that compliments their food quite well.
The menu is a good size with traditional comfort food, but not overly huge with too many items. They also... more

Excellent value

Visited this location multiple times, always good, fast and friendly service. Will definately return.

Excellent atmosphere

Loved the atmosphere and good selection of food. Staff really friendly and happy to serve you. Good for families/couples. Near Runnymead subway station.

My first two times I had dined here were awful - bad service, c@!p food, etc. Then my colleague who used to work there suggested I go back. Glad I did because it's way better! Service is amazing and it's the best brunch I've ever had! Also their French Onion Soup is WOW!
Love the little bar in the front..and they do have an upstairs area for groups!

Don't support Dr. Gen..Horrible Owner

I would think that if you own a small restaurant in a nice area that service would be an absolute priority for you. And though you may not experience it if you go there once, the owner of Dr. Gens is absolutely horrible. I could understand if you work for a big chain that service could occasionally be bad. But to have a small business owner NOT take pride in service is ridiculous. When his... more

Excellent food, fun atmosphere

We went here for brunch on a Saturday around noon. The brunch menu was extensive. I ordered the typical diner breakfast (eggs, hash browns, toast, bacon) and my husband got the eggs benedict. The food was great - everything was hot and delicious. The server was attentive and helpful, fast on coffee refills. The food was brought out quickly and... more

I live in Bloor West Village and I've been going to Dr. G's for quite some time. My experiences are limited to breakfasts and lunches but I've always been fairly happy with the food and service. Definitely not worth 5 stars, but its a good spot to eat nonetheless.

Mobile review

First time there, but should have gone sooner. Noisier than some places, but a fabulous brunch, with very friendly staff.

In the mood for a burger today. Always good.

Pretty decent brunch place. Great atmosphere. Ordered the pulled pork benny and it was pretty good. It got really soggy quickly so while the first couple bites were delish, the last half was too wet. The cappuccino was really nice.

Great local spot

Great calamari, great fries, decent Caesar salad, big portions, good beer, dumb name. A real family restaurant/pub combo making it a good night out with the kids.

I was really struggling when deciding whether I was going to award Dr. Generosity with 3 or 4 stars. The elements I liked were spectacular, but there were some missteps that just can't be ignored.

Let's start off with the pros since I'm in a peppy mood! What originally caught my eye about Dr. Generosity was their sandwich sign out front boasting cheap corkage fees. I have NEVER brought a... more

Terrible Food!

Dined here on a recent Saturday night. The waiter was excellent...he told us about Summerlicious and was very knowledgeable about the food and very respectful.

I find the food here is variable, sometimes scrumptious, other times just meh. For the prices they charge, everything should be excellent, but not so. I have to say it's a really family friendly place that welcomes toddlers and babies and they have a clean roomy ground floor family washroom in the rear, something not that common in the older buildings in the neighborhood.

Yummy lunch

How could a mere club sandwich inspire me to write a review? By being absolutely DEE-LISH! That's how! This is one of the best lunches I've ever had in a casual restaurant. Generous portion, fast service, great coffee. The club sandwich came with roasted red pepper mayo, and a hearty serving of meat. The sweet potato fries were served with... more

Great Restaurant

What a lovely place to enjoy a great meal with friends. Had wonderful service and a terrific dinner.

Local restaurant with real food and reasonable prices

This is your local drop in kind of pub restaurant. There are two high tables situated in the bow window looking out onto the street. Great for watching the ever changing flow of people in the street of the up and coming trendy Bloor West Village neighbourhood.
Service is fast and knowledgeable, the daily specials are a little more expensive... more

What is not to love at Dr. G's!? I love the place so much that each time my meal arrives I exclaim: The Dr is IN!

This is an establishment that clearly understands what constitutes good service and good food. Simple, healthy food without pretension. We go for the burgers, pasta specials and the in-house hot sauce known as 'Angry Sauce.'

I will see you tonight for dinner, Dr.!

Good food, generous portions

I love the fact that the salads are served with dressing on the side, and that the restaurant makes all of the salad dressings. The chocolate layer cake is amazing. The menu has a bit of everything. Portions are on the large side.

A great place for brunch...that's it. Had lunch there and not very good. But it's a cozy place on a cold rainy Sunday morning to have delicious breakfast...BUT, the COFFEE IS TERRIBLE!!!! Please get a new provider or clean your brewers. Truly awful!

A great local spot, with good attention to allergies

There is something very comforting about return to this restaurant. Always friendly, always lively, and always a quality casual experience. The staff is very attentive to allergies (gluten intolerance) and the food is served up tasty and with a smile. And I love the low BYOB wine corkage fees. A very nice neighborhood spot.

Delicious generous portions

I came here with a friend that I haven't seen in years to catch up. What a great little pub. It was packed so we knew it was going to be good. We both had a different sandwich, mmm i had the turkey club. It had excellent bread and a good portion of sides. We both loved it. We were... more

DO NOT BOOK A PRIVATE EVENT HERE!! Neither Generous nor Organized - ruining my family reunion

I live in Hong Kong and am going home to visit my new nephew for the first time. Out of respect to the restaurant, we wanted to book the private room so that the 4 month old baby would not disturb other patrons and my sister in law breastfeeding would not be an issue.
Months ago I enquired if the... more

I love Dr. G's. Took me years to finally go there, passed by it all the time but it looked so small from the outside, never went in.

Well now it is the go-to for my wife and I for brunch in the hood. Service is great, food is fantastic, usually no problem getting a seat (though we tend to go later than most), and just really consistent. Which is what I like in a brunch joint.

Simple fare

This place is nice with home-cooked type meals. I haven't had anything here that made me rave but I never leave dissatisfied. Portions are large and the service is generally quite friendly. Very cozy bar area up front! The dining room is dark yet warm.

Amazing casual food

Great service and food; brunch is quite popular. Lunch is fantastic and the best part is that is totally family friendly.

Good brunch, average dinner

What it says on the tin. Dinner menu overpriced and food OK, but not outstanding. Salads and sandwiches are your best bet from the lunch / dinner menu. Brunch is good value and tasty. They don't allow strollers in the restaurant but you can lock them up outside.

Winter Brunch

We had to wait a little bit for a table during the Holiday's but that didn't bother us :)

Good neighbourhood restaurant

Enjoyable meal, good service, would go back - but not a place for an exceptional meal

Nice spot - good for families too

Very good food and excellent service. Not sure what day of the week they offer them, but their special beer and bbq ribs are absolutely spectacular!

good neighborhood brunch

ad 'brunch' here at 1.40p on Saturday and the crowd was manageable; pretty much no wait for small groups
I tried the French Toast, which everyone raved about...it was pretty good, but not fantastic...maybe my expectations were just higher coz it seemed like everyone DIED after eating it.
The sausages were surprisingly yummy and the hot sauce i requested for... more

Great brunch! We have compared all our other brunches to the one we had here..... But nothing has come close! The prices are very reasonable and the service is great!

Go for Brunch

Their Saturday and Sunday brunch is great. The regular menu has lots of options and then there are always fantastic specials daily. Be warned, there is usually a line up but it is worth the wait. This restaurant is family friendly.
Also good to note, on Monday - Wednesday nights the uncorking fee is $1 - $3 so bring a... more

Solid brunch. Had the bloor st west special (eggs, cream cheese, sausage) with a side of the house angry hot sauce (amazingly hot - thank you!). Wife had the stuffed blueberry banana French toast with sausage on the side. Both meals were massive and well prepped. Fresh squeezed OJ was great. Busy place so don't be surprised if you need to wave your server for coffee refill but service was still... more

Not a fan.

I work next door, I'm always trying to like it. Honest.

The nachos are terrible. Flat out bad.

The macaroni and cheese is alright. Totally edible. But pretty bland.

And the owner (or manager?), if he is a doctor of generosity, he certainly isn't a doctor of kindness. He's always scowling and kind of unhelpful.

Miss it.

We were regular customers. We will never go back

My family and I have been regular visitors to Dr. Generosity for several years because we live a few blocks away and it was a family friendly location for weekend brunches with my toddler, my sister's family, and my parents. This came to an end after I called one evening in May to try to make reservations for Mother's Day.... more

Top-Notch Family Restaurant

Dr. G's is a laid back, family-friendly place. The prices are reasonable and the food is always good. They even have a cute (albeit tiny) street-level patio. Definitely a neighbourhood staple, especially for Sunday brunch. Tasty classics like eggs benedict are made with fresh ingredients. But get there early, or risk standing in a hefty line up for a table!

Three and half stars for the food.
Two and half stars for the service. There was a sense of rushedness that made it very uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. They weren't outright rude but... I get it that you're busy, but.... it's weird how annoying it is for someone to constantly come by, and offer to take your plate away (One of our group hadn't finished her meal, while two of us had, and she... more

Love this place, been a regular since it opened. Casual atmosphere with great food, from burgers to steak, pasta to seafood. Nightly features and desserts.

Splitting a sandwich with their delicious Mushroom Soup is a regular thing for us in the colder months for lunch. If you haven't been,... more

Best brunch in town

Every time on the weekend when we need a special treat, we always go to Dr. G's. It has the best brunch I've ever had, and the service is amazing!

A feel good place with great food

There are lots of restaurant choices in Bloor West Village but Dr Generosity is my favourite. The staff is always friendly and the food generous & yummy.

Best. Brunch. Ever.

Definitely try the eggs Dostoyevsky. Or any of the other variations.

Anything I write besides this is completely unnecessary. Starve yourself and then go. The portions are HUGE!

Dr Generosity came highly recommended by my sister in-law, and by a bunch of reviewers on various sites. We visited for the first time this year, despite having lived in the area for four years.

Dr Generosity was one of the first brunch places I tried in the city - it might have actually had the honour of being the first, but heck if I can remember. There have been many since, but something about it leaves me with a soft spot for Dr. G. Maybe it's the fact that it's in my neighbourhood, maybe it's the daily specials... But it's got that something.

Poor attitude

Went to Dr. G's with a dinner date. The restaurant was packed, and we nabbed one of the last tables. I ordered the chicken breast, with the mushroom & cheddar chowder (notably no hint of cheddar present). The food was adequate, but nothing to write home about. Both of us ordered water, which didn't seem to come with any refills throughout the meal. This became an issue about halfway through, as... more

I was at Dr. Generosity's last night with seven friends celebrating a friend's birthday. This is one of her favourite restaurants and she and her boyfriend go often for brunch.

Our server was attentive and the food was good (though my mashed potatoes were dry, cool and salty). Considering it was a Friday night and we were a large party, they didn't rush us out (we were there from 7 'til 10ish).

I don't see what the big deal is with this place? There are waaaaaay better restaurants available in Bloor west village. This place is nothing special.

Myself and a group of friends decided to check out this highly recommended eatery one Sunday afternoon for brunch. The moment we walked in, you could feel the buzz. It was quite busy, but we were seated right away.

Each table was draped with a brown paper table cloth (similar to Jack Asstors style), with crayons for drawing. This touch made it a more family friendly place, as kids could draw... more

I really disliked my dinner here, which is sad because I've been hearing good things about Dr.Generosity.

The menu has a huge mix of big salads, meat, and a lot of over-priced pasta dishes. There aren't very many vegetarian dishes, aside from a veg lasagna, which didn't interest me, so I just ordered the grilled vegetable salad. I've heard good things about their big salads, and a few tables... more

The Grilled Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad is really yummy. The salad portion they offer is huge. I mistakenly added calamari to the salad once and they were pratically falling off the plate. Way too much food. They serve the goat cheese as a full round- about the size of a hockey puck. Pretty Legit.
A fun, casual spot and the prices are on the mark.

People are always talking up the Doc.

Took a while to finally get around to going and was initially impressed with atmosphere inside. It was dark, cozy - but still had a family-restaurant vibe. There were a few dates in at the time - so it's not quite East Side Mario's.

The portion size was very large, the prices were a little too high, and service was so-so. Food was....OK to slightly not... more

This place is a good spot for brunch in the Bloor West section of town. The food is good, but not the greatness that I hoped. I had the banana and blueberry stuffed french toast which was good but not great. My friend had the eggs and kielbasa. It was also good but not great. It was not terribly busy here and I thought the ambiance was perfect for meeting a large group of friends and catching up.

Busy place on the weekend but Dr. G's is well loved by the west end for a reason. We frequent this place for lunch; I almost always get a tuna chop salad. It sounds like such a boring order but, seriously, an incredible salad. Get it with lemon basil vinaigrette. The sweet potato fries are awesome too.

I have only had brunch here once: salmon bennie and a ceasar. It was ok, not bad, not great, just ok. The lines on the weekend are a bit ridiculous, but the service is fast and friendly.

I'd recommend it, but I feel like there are way better brunch places out there. However, if you're in the area and want something more convenient on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, this is probably your best bet.

Simply brilliant. One of the best brunches I have ever hard. Period.
Tip: get there before 10am to avoid lines. Or go there midweek. Cannot wait to go back.

Delicious dinner and friendly service

Based on some recent reviews, I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant, but we had an excellent dinner. We had the prix fixe and beef and blue cheese salads. Both were very tasty and indeed generous portions. Desert was a delicious nutella and banada bread pudding. Darrin our waiter was attentive and friendly. We'd definitely go back.

So my friend also wrote a review about our great time at Dr. Generosity this weekend - I wasn't going to be a copy-cat but I just have to say...

They are only consistent in that they are inconsistent. One visit we had a decent enough meal although some dishes were not as described on the menu.

Too much money for weak dishes=we have had enough

I have been going to Dr. Generosity for 5 years or so, and my most recent visits have left me wondering: what happened with this place?

Great value at a local restaurant, some of the best service in the city

We've been lucky enough to have dinner at Dr G's a few times and it consistently impresses with the good food, outstanding service and cozy atmosphere.
Highly recommend for locals or for tourists looking for a neighbourhood feel rather than the franchise, one-size-fits-all feel at other restaurants. It may not be worth the trip if you're staying downtown but we... more

I shouldn't have gone there. It's a trap. You see, I just wanted some eggs.. they suggested me eggs florentine... with a salad... and fruits. You see? And some orange juice.

Then you realize you asked for a GIANT BRUNCH AND IT'S DELICIOUS, and you are unable to stop eating until you're licking the plate. At least it was Sunday afternoon and I could go for a lazy walk back home, and take a nap.... more

great salads

not what I expected when I saw the decor - but it was delicious food!

If I didn't have lunch at Dr. Generosity on Thursday, I would have given it 2 stars based on my previous experience. Had brunch there with friends about a year ago. I can't remember exact details, but the service was simply lame and our server was very arrogant. But instead of sharing my past experience, let me tell you about my most recent experience. Simply put, it was great.

The service was... more

I originally gave it a 2, but +1 for good atmosphere and friendly people.
I came here for dinner, and after reading the reviews more carefully, realized their best bet is actually brunch. But i liked the atmosphere, like a small inn. We had two servers for some reason (maybe a shift change) but the 2nd one was really friendly and always cracking jokes.

We probably were there for about 2.5 hrs,... more

I've been here for dinner and managed to land the best table in the house,according to the waitress, its a booth and leveled up higher than everyone elses.

I loved the menu selection as well as their wine list. Definitely a good place for a girls night out or a date.

I haven't tried their dinner menu. We got here for a Sunday brunch around 1 PM. Were expecting a line, but I guess it had cleared by then.

The brunch dishes, while not exceptionally unusual, were tasty and very good quality. Huevos Rancheros was not only delicious, but lived up to the restaurant's name - large and filling portion. Good coffee and the other two people in my party enjoyed the... more

Let me just start by saying that DR. GENEROSITY ROCKS!!

Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you why with the GOOD:
- The Huevos Rancheros are *delicious*. DELICIOUS!!
- The eggs were perfectly poached with yolks that weren't too hard or soft
- The home fries were divinely flavored
- My friend and I split the daily french toast special (prepare your salivating glands): Banana Walnut... more

I love the brunch of Dr. G's. The huevos rancheros are the best I've ever had and the stuffed french toast is always delicious. The homemade hot sauce they serve with the huevos is yum! My only complaint from my last visit was that the caramelized pecans were kind of clumped together and when I tried to break them up, a chunk went flying Pretty Woman styles and landed by the woman at a table... more

Great food, cozy! I've been many many times for brunch, lunch and dinner. You can't beat $1, $2, $3 (Mon, Tues, Wed respectively) wine corking fees.

My favourite is the grilled beef salad or the tuna sandwich, the liver is actually really really good. I've never ordered an entire meal of it, but always take a bite from someone else who has ordered it. All their brunch options are amazing.

spotty service and too expensive

Dr. Generosity used to be a family restaurant with reasonable prices that lived up to its name. Over the past four years, its prices skyrocketed, as if the restaurant is trying to present itself as a more trendy upscale place, following the gentrification of Bloor West Village.

Mobile review

Service and food needs improvement. Inadequate vegetarian choices. The wine list is just okay. Loud background rock music makes conversation difficult. This is a restaurant not a rock concert. The staff refused to turn the music down when asked Crayons on all tables for kids to doodle is unprofessional. This is a restaurant not daycare. I was with three friends and we all had to order twice to... more

Dr. Generosity's

Dr. Generosity’s or "Dr. G’s" as it’s known by the locals, (www.drgenerosity.com/) is situated on the section of Bloor Street known as "Bloor West Village". Located along the Bloor-line of the Toronto Subway, you can get off at Runnymede Station or, take a short walk west from High Park and you'll find yourself at this perfect brunch/lunch location immediately before reaching a nice... more
