User Reviews for Tati Bistro
Back to Tati Bistro
At first I was skeptical..I read the reviews and at first was hesitant to give Tati a try. Tati came highly recommended by friends. I am glad that I did because I have now found a new fabulous place! Love the atmosphere, warm and inviting. The staff was amazing, attentive and super friendly! The escargot appetizers is delish...I can't remember the last time I had anything so tasty! The steak was divine, wonderfully cooked and mouthwatering. The food is so reasonably priced. I recommend that you give this place a try and don't live by the reviews. This place is a wonderful gem. I am looking forward to a return visit soon.

Yes, the food was rather good but not 'amazing'. The atmosphere was rather pleasant too. The lack of adequate seating was annoying BUT the intensely RUDE belligerent wait staff was and remains UNFORGIVABLE.
I do not pay extravegant prices so I can dine out and be abused, neglected and given a very rude attitude from a hostile waitress.
I therefore shall never return and shall tell everyone I meet who asks me of a good place to dine in Toronto NOT to waste their money at Tati Bistro.
The rude staff destroyed our dining experience.

The food was generally very good (with one exception), but the service was truly the rudest we have ever experienced (and we mean startlingly, blow you away rude). Unfortunately, this is the second time we've been to this restaurant and our server was rude last time as well. We encourage anyone who might go to this restaurant to check their bill carefully. Ours came to $225, but when the server ran it through Visa, she put it in as $255, and then became indifferent and dismissive when we brought the error to her attention. And finally, they allow cigarette and cigar smoking on their patio, which is pretty gross.

The service is appalling -- they seem to have staffed the place with huffy girls who don't know much about French food and drink. The couple next to us (seated in the middle of the room) got up and left after waiting ages to place an order, and for the whole night, waitstaff pushed through the six inches between our table and the next one -- I never need to see anyone's tattooed lower back that close to my dinner plate. Skip this place and try La Palette or Paradis if you're looking for a good French bistro.

When I made our reservation I was apologetically informed that we'd be seated in the upstairs dining room. Maybe that should have been my tip off. Having never been to Tati before, I thought that would be OK. In fact, we were relegated to the forgotten hinterland of the upstairs dining room...never to be heard from again.
Appetizers came quickly and were alright, I had the green salad and my wife had the beef carpaccio. However, after apps were done, we were forgotten about. The waitstaff disappeared, and that was the last we saw of anyone for an hour. When we sought out the waitress and told her that we had to leave soon, she mumbled something inaudible about the kitchen and shuffled off. Overall, the service staff is amateurish and uncaring.
For mains, I had the black cod which was relatively tasteless and waaay overcooked. My wife had the bouillabaise which contained rubbery calamari, overcooked and rubbery Tilapia (so overdone that it couldn't be cut - just one rubbery chunk of fish), unimpressive mussles and one clam. Oh, one spoonful of the broth revealed a broken shards of clamshell which my wife chewed on.
Overall, very disappointing. I would not recommend dining at Tati and wonder if they should rename themselves Kaki.

First off, staff greeting was genuine. Felt like I'd been a client for years. It's under a year old and was my first time.
My waiter, seemed to be the only guy there, light-footed forsure but very professional albeit a little entertaining, which I appreciate and enjoy.
The meal. Steak frittes. Thank GOD tastebuds can't ejaculate cuz my mouth would'a bin FULL!!!
They were so good, I was tempted eat the plate nm lick it!
I'll be back for more of the same!
Oh, I was a little wary about hanging my coat but, thankfully, not so much as a spark...;-)

my jacket caught fire (and was destroyed) on a candle which was placed below a coat hook beside our table. it took 45 minutes for one of the owners to come over and acknowledge the incident - when he finally did approach the table, after introducing himself he suggested we "do a test" - i guess a test to see if anyone else put their jacket on the hook would the candle below burn it? (like i purposefully wanted to lay my expensive jacket on top of a burning candle??) He was absolutely shockingly rude, not once did he utter an apology for the loss of my jacket. they decided to compensate me by comping our water (which we did not ask for) and for my $35 meal. wow... disgusting.

Please do not waste your time here. Food is ok, but the staff is very rude. I usually never take the time to write a bad review but I thought the service was unacceptable.

I have been here a few times, and the crammed seating had always been compensated by the great food and service. Last time I had gone was probably the the last time I will ever go - a staff member had been very rude by stating, after we paid the bill, that we "made people wait for their table for 45 minutes," as a result of the length of our seating. Really unnecessary, considering patrons should never be held responsible for that and should never hear it.

Honestly, one of my new local restaurants. While I miss KK, the space has improved a good deal... and the fare makes it a great little gem.

fun, yummy steak frites, great new personal space that does not just cater to bridge and tunnel

The service was great and the food superb. It's been a long time since I had a dinner which I could rave over. We shared the wild mushroom starter and it had an incredible sauce and was so delicious and filling I thought I'd never be able to eat my entree but I had the black cod on a pile of mashed potatoes and I ate absolutely everything except the skin. Again, a touch of exquisite sauce and some interesting veggies, cooked to perfection. My companion had the steak and frites and declared it perfect - done exactly as he had requested it. We were very impressed with everything. This is now my favourite restaurant.
