I will be very honest. The food was pretty good, nothing amazing, but good for the lower price (as far as Toronto goes). The service was ok, they forgot our drinks twice and then we had to take some pizza home (3 slices) and when we opened at home there was only 1 slice there...werid. The atmosphere is great! The best part, very nice inside, and a small patio. Value is good as well. I will go back, and I would suggest a visit. Don't expect amazing food though, but still some of it was good.

Awful experience!!! If there was an option for a zero rating, I would assign it to the Myth Restaurant. I had the worst experience - upon entering the fairly empty restaurant, I had requested the bus boy (as opposed to the host or wait staff) to seat us at a table for 2. On the way to the table, the owner/manager yelled at the bus boy to set up a table for 6 even though the guests had not arrived and I was waiting to be seated. The bus boy rushed to set up the table and left us in the middle of the restaurant. We patiently waited - after a few minutes, the bus boy approached us again and apologized for the wait. While we were being seated, the owner once again approached the bus boy and yelled at him for the 2nd time to set up another table. At that point, I told the owner that I was waiting to be seated and this was the 2nd time that he yelled at the bus boy and that I did not appreciate that type of service. The owner yelled at me and told me that he could continue to do "whatever he wanted, including ordering for a 3rd table to be set up regardless of what I thought." I was in utter disbelief and opted to walk out of the restaurant!!! I was amazed that the owner of this establishment responded to a patron in the manner that he did. The owner is rude, discourteous, ignorant and has severe anger management issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, the staff is influenced by his behaviour which ultimately makes for a very poor dining experience. Needless to say, skip the Myth experience on the Danforth!!!

I would give 0 star to Myth if I could. I went there with a few friends for my birthday dinner on a Sun night. Thought it would be a unique idea for my guests to have dinner & watch bellydancing! But the evening went horribly wrong because of the horrible service: tactless & rude waiters who need a lesson in common etiquette, a half & hour wait for a simple souvlaki on a stick appetizer (and it wasn't even a busy night). Let me tell you more below:

1.) When I made the reservations 3 days before, I wasn't even informed that on Sunday nights a $10 extra (separate from the food) would be charged because of the bellydancing. It was the management's responsibility to inform me, so that I could;ve told my guests in advance!

2.) So imagine my surprise & embarassment when 3 separate people came at separate times to inform oue table to pay the $10 cover charge!!! Its as if they were harassing us & wouldn't even let us sit in the restaurant, until & unless we didn't pay!

3.)Moreover, they harassed us some more to order quickly making the stupid excuse that once the bellydancers came, it would be hard to bring the food to our table! Basically thy wanted us to order right away & get their money, but we were still waiting for at least a good 6 more people to show up, so obviously we can't order a main course until more people didn;t come!!!! Whatever happened to some nice conversation with your friends prior to dinner???

4.)The last straw happened when a friend of mine came in later & they wouldn't even let her enter the restaurant itself until she didn't pay up the $10 cover charge!!!! Do remember that they didn't warn me about this while i made the reservations, so obviously I couldn't let my guests know about this charge. Once this happened, I cancelled my order for the main meal, we paid for whatever food we got & promptly left.

5.)We also got our cover charge back for the bellydancing, because the dance was suppose to begin at 8pm, but at 8:45 (when we left), the dance was no where close to starting!!!

6.)Then our waiter chases us out of the restaurant onto the sidewalk & pretty much accuses my friend for not paying!!! She had paid by debit & a cardholder copy was given to her as proof of payment, but stupid, moronic waiters at Myth lost their copy of the receipt. They later found it but didn;t even apologise to anyone of us for the bad service & the humiliation they put us through.

I can guarantee if we were white or greek people we wouldn't have gotten this nasty service or been treated as if were going to leave without paying!!!!!

Good service here is truly a Myth!!!

Saturday night dinner. 8pm only one or two tables in use. Music too loud at that point. Dinner was okay. Didn't order wine because of the previous review. Couldn't hear the waiter speaking. Seemed to mutter everything he said. Didn't realize it was Winterlicious so with this in mind the food was okay for the value. Would we return. I am not so sure.

An evening at Myth made for a great Friday night after work. The atmosphere was great - very funky, yet still romantic and the service from our Aussie waitress was wonderful.

Only criticism was the over-priced wine. We would love to have had a second glass, but at $8 (pre tip & tax) for a standard glass of South American wine, we stuck to one.
