The One Eighty

The View: 5/​5, a great view regardless which side of the restaurant you are on. Expect people taking a lot of selfies here with the views… STOP BLOCKING MY VIEWS!
Décor; Simple, lounge like, the real star is the views.
Service: 5/​5, nice hustle ladies.
Drinks: 3.5÷5 Expensive cocktails & bottle service, above average price on beers, normal prices on pop/​water/​coffee etc — some unique drinks but you’ll be paying for them.
Food: Pricy — The provide you with a house made chili oil hotsauce, which makes you want to drink.
Taste of food: The food is not bad, Ordered to leak pizza — got to use scissors to cut it — nice dough.
The 180 gives off the vibe of a high end restaurant/​lounge with gorgeous views. EMPHASIS on the views.
Which is the problem…
The highlight of your experience isn’t the food — its the views and sharing it with friends. The prices are reflective of the location, not the food that comes out… and if you’re willing to shell out the $ 30-​$ 60 per person (with a drink) to eat here, you’re probably coming here for the views with ok food.
I might come back to bring a date to share the views, but i will be looking elsewhere if I want our memories to be about the food.

The One Eighty deserves a 3.5 in my books. The ambience and views are amazing, the service and management is great but the food is nothing special.
The biggest mistake we made is that we came to the restaurant hungry. I know it sounds funny but if you’re coming here, come for drinks and apps. They have an amazing selection of mixed drinks.
I ordered the Halibut Tacos, which were nice and fresh except for the fish part. Honestly the crispy fish could have been from Costco’s frozen food section for all I knew.
My boyfriend’s pizza was beautiful, but tasted pretty basic (see photos).
Overall, less than average food but it was nice to sit on the balcony overlooking the Toronto skyline on a beautiful day like today.
P.S Free Parking for 2 hours if you spend over $ 25

the view was amazing. cocktail and food-​on-​the-​cart are really great. The only cocktail drink I did not like was the lotus — which was recommended by the server. It smelled like cheap hand soap.

My friend took me here and I honestly didn’t even know it existed. The view is indeed beautiful. You could definitely get caught up gazing and the picturesque urban landscape. This is quickly overshadowed by the deplorable food.
My friend and I ordered the pork belly tacos and crab dip. Kettle chips came with the dip, it was somehow stale and crunchy, like re-​fried discarded chips from the last Leaf’s win. The dip was okay. The tacos were a firm no. The mini tortillas were dry, one of my tacos had just grilled pig belly fat-​no actual meat in it.
Drinks were pretty good though. Small quantity, large price but had a good taste. Bravo to the bartender.
Most appalling was our service. Our waitress’ pretentious attitude was really unfortunate. Her questionable attitude was most apparent during her curiosity surrounding our missing table candle. My friend and I didn’t even notice it was gone. Our waitress came to our table and said «wasn’t there a candle when you got to this table?» We said yes, she asks, «well, where did it go?». My friend then proceeds to tell her that we don’t really know, just that when we got the food, the candle was probably taken by the other waitress to create more room. Our waitress said okay and walked past us, only to look into my friend’s open bag hanging from her chair for what I presume is her precious missing candle…
Did she really just think that my friend or I would come to this restaurant, eat below average food, drink overpriced beverages, so we could steal a Dollarama candle?
I’m never coming here again; the view is nice but nothing I experienced was worthwhile. For those that really want the view, get a pic, get a drink and get out before the regret sets in.

Place is absolutely incredible. Location is top notch. Service is fantastic. This place should be jam packed with patrons it’s so nice.

first off i have to say that we were celebrating a birthday party and we had a partial room. The best thing about this place is the server cindy. very enthusiastic friendly knowledgable server. extremely accomodating and pretty much mastered the service aspect. ⁵⁄₅ on service and speed of the food coming out and orders organization.
now lets talk about high end food. our table ordered a few things
1) pizza
2) a whole bunch of tacos
3) a raw meat entre
4) salad
etc
now i asked around the table for a review out of 10. tacos ⁸⁄₁₀
pizza ⁶⁄₁₀ all cheese and nothing tasty or special about it at all.
the beef carpaccio apetizer was ³⁄₁₀. proportionally even though it was an appetizer it was paper thin the slivers were almost non existant. i literally i felt like i threw away 20 $ or whatever it costed. other restaurants serve the same apps or entres and are way more generous with the portions. literally what a waste of a plate and a rip off and it made me feel like this place does not have portion and value integrity. very disapointed.
the martini was on point but you get what you pay for aka belvedere… and a 20 $ martini better be good… not great but good. I honestly don’t even know how my receipt came to 50 $ with one martini and one appetizer. I mean if this place is «HIGH end» the food sure did not reflect it and that is extremely disappointing, because I’m a HUGE foodie, and was really excited to try this place. if they really want to survive in the dog eat dog world out there, they are going to have to really… change it up. People in yorkville have money, but that doesn’t mean they are stupid.
that pretty much concludes my review. the food was extremely disapointing one girl even sent back the food and the rooms i felt could have been more chic on the décor aspect for something considered «high end». obviously the background was stunning and the view of the city but décor lacked to promote the feeling of high end.
the ambience and vibe of the crowd was good the lounge was good and great mentions to the dj with good music.

So disappointed. Overpriced and not worth it !!
The food was disappointing. The only reason why I gave 3 stars is their drinks are good. They have a large drink menu.
Other than that, their food is just deep fried and no better than the food from a pub in Toronto.
Probably not going back again.

Came here for the first time since they changed from panorama to the 180.
Had a fantastic time from beginning to end, my date & I were seated by the window with a great view, my date ordered the salmon & I ordered the risotto, now here is what sold me on their customer service, the risotto was somewhat bland, I had a tough time eating it, I ate about ¼ of it when I pushed it aside, about 5 min after I took my last bite a gentleman appeared at our table and introduced himself as the manager, Nicholas, he noticed I left back quite a bit if the risotto and asked me for my opinion for which I said it was ok but bland, he agreed with me to my surprise and offered to swap it out for sonething else, at first I opposed, but eventually gave in and he brought out his recommendation for which I forgot the name of but was totally delicious !! Bravo Nicholas ! Your customer service was fantastic, my date & I could not get over your hospitality ! For this I will return !! The ambiance was totally incredible my date she loved it !

Came here on their Sunday Valentine’s Day Event. It is located at 51^th floor of manulife building on bloor street. The view is great especially at night. But I won’t say it is a fine dining place, because the seating and table setting are kind of cheap. So the menu is overpriced. The food isn’t that good, but it is not bad. Overall, it is a good place for dating once a while.

They charged my fellow diner $ 2·50 for hot water. This is Canada and we don’t charge people for water or assistance.
The portions of most dishes are small and prices hefty. The service is adequate except for the server initially saying that it would based on how busy she is that would determine if we’d get separate bills — that is shameful especially since they added an automatic gratuity — for that verbal disservice? Though we did get separate bills.
This is just a way overpriced place and totally not worth it. If you want the view, go to the CN tower instead.

It’s a classy place with a really nice atmosphere and view. In terms of the food, their menu is quite limited and they weren’t able to susbtitute items in the dishes either, which other restaurants like this usually do.
I ordered the Provencal Salmon which tasted good but I had some sort of grit or sand in my dish. I informed the server about this and she diid apologise but didn’t offer to replace it.
Their alcoholic menu is quite extensive

The food was absolutely terrible and so was the service. None of our 12 guests enjoyed their food. The atmosphere has also changed compared to when I originally visited this restaurant a few years back. It has lost its lounge type feel.

I came here with my parents on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is located on the 51^st floor of the Manulife office building situated in Yorkville (the entrance is on the 2^nd floor of the food court complex).
I recommend that you make reservations. Although you cannot specifically reserve for the patio, making an earlier reservation (such as 5PM) will increase your chances that there is a patio facing the south side with the spectacular view of the downtown core. Unfortunately we made our reservations later at 8PM and could only sit on the north side patio.
Food: The food was above average. We shared the beef carpaccio to start. I was actually expecting the portion sizes to be smaller given that it is a fancier restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised at the decent portion. The appetizer was average, as there was a little too much chive oil. For the main, we each tried the cornish hen with zucchini tagliatelle — again good portion sizes and the chicken was juicy and soft. The only con about the food was the price — the beef carpaccio was $ 17.50 while the cornish hen was nearly $ 30.
Service: Excellent service, our waitress was friendly and checked up on us quite a bit.
Ambience: As expected, the view of Toronto is amazing as we watched the sun set. The restaurant is set up to be very upscale, with patrons dressing the part as well.
I’m giving 4 stars because despite the pricey menu, the food is better than expected and the experience of the view makes up for it. A must try for locals and tourists alike.

Went here for a friend’s bachelor party
Pros:
Fantastic, friendly and attentive service: Our server was amazing, friendly and catered to all of our needs, and made conversation with us. Great guy and hope he knows it!
Wonderful and beautiful view
comfortable and great accommodations
Cons:
Beer and cocktails are WAY overpriced for non-​premium ingredients
Food is average for the price paid (I had the 180 on board pizza… Way too much arugula)
I probably won’t be back, but I didn’t hate the experience

If you want a great view with great service, this is the place. I was here for a company social so we booked the entire place off for ourselves. You have your choice of seating – inside or outside, on chairs or on sofas, etc. The furniture and décor are simple and classy. And of course, the view is really something. It’s on the 51^st floor of the Manulife building and there’s a patio on either side so that you can sit outside and enjoy the view. One side faces the CN tower and the other side faces the sunset so it’s a win-​win regardless of where you sit.
The service was the best part. My friend and I went to the bar to get a drink each and when we went back to the bar a while later, the bartender remembered our drinks exactly – even though there were probably over 50 of us in the venue. As it got later, we had a DJ playing music and some of the servers were dancing along and really adding to the great atmosphere of the place. One of the servers was asking people who were by themselves if they were having a good time and actually took the time to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. I was really impressed with all the things the employees here did.
As for the food, we didn’t order from a set menu for this event. We mainly got sliders and small dishes. The food I tried – steak, ravioli, sushi, etc – wasn’t that great… but I don’t know if their regular menu is better or not. Nevertheless, I’d still recommend coming here just for the view and service.

Ended up here because my friends wanted to go to go to Hemmingways after work. I figured if we’re going to have $ 8 beers we might as well have a fucking breathtaking view, and that we did. The fish tacos were decent. The mixed drinks were putrid, but that vista… GODDDAM! I like this place.

On the 51^st floor of the Manulife Building near the corner of Yonge and Bloor. Stunning — really stunning — view, so worth the trip just for this (warning: $ 5 cover charge on weekend nights). Grab a drink, some friends or a date, and make the trip up to look out over the beautiful toronto cityscape. The view to the right is certainly MUCH better than the view to the left.
Negatives: no outdoor heating lamps, overpriced everything, mediocre food, forced atmosphere inside with no bar vibe. I don’t know, you kind of want to see people hanging out or visiting the bar itself… it was totally empty which surprised me.
We got the crab and lobster dip for $ 19 — cheesy and underwhelming. Also, strange to serve this with kettle chips. Why not crackers or bread? So that one doesn’t feel like a complete piglet by stuffing something deep fried AND dripping in cheese/​oil into one’s mouth? :)
Probably wouldn’t go back, but highly encourage a first time for everyone.

I took a friend from out of town here thinking it was this really great place, we even reserved over a week in advance (not sure why I was under this false impression). What a mistake!
We came here for Sunday brunch, it was a bit rainy so the whole view thing was gone. The place was COMPLETELY dead, the décor was tacky and the people working there were completely unprofessional. The food was average and overpriced, trying too hard to be modern cuisine. We all left disappointed.
Let me emphasize how bad the service was:
1. the waitress was rude to EVERYONE on the table as soon as we sat down.
2. none of the dishes came out at the same time so someone ended up almost finishing before the other started
3. She kept forgetting to get us things like a side of bacon, cutlery and water!
3. I will never forget this: I ordered an americano with a side of soy milk. The server told me I can’t do this because «the americano comes with milk already inside it». I told her no it didn’t it was just an espresso with steamed water and I prefer the milk on the side, and she turned this into a FULL on argument. She insisted that the machine «makes it that way» and that I was wrong. Seeing as how I have an americano every single day I just let it go and told her okay and to get it for me however the machine made it. Of course, she brought it out 30 minutes later and guess what? No milk! I then decided to lighten the mood as she seemed so upset to be wrong and made a joke. She THEN responded with «actually just so you know, americanos are made differently everywhere in the world.»
(I gave it a 2 star only because I know the view is great and maybe if we were seated outside with a different waitress we may have not had such a shitty experience)

Beautiful place, beautiful view, beautiful food.
We ordered the fish tacos and ribbon salad first, and I can’t speak for the ribbon salad but those halibut tacos were amongst the best foods I’ve ever eaten.
Next we ordered the crab and lobster dip which was very nice. I wish they gave more chips, though.
For desert we shared a lemon meringue which was simply incredible. I’d go back just for the fish tacos and lemon meringue. The service was also excellent, of course.

Overpriced, very weak and watered down cocktails, average food.
Haibut Tacos — Good — this was the only thing I ate that I found tasty.
Crab & Lobster Dip — Not very good– just tasted cheesy and fishy.
Citrus Gravlox — Average, nothing to write home about. I only had one bite and didn’t want any more.
Cocktails: All of us got a cocktail and everyone agreed they didn’t taste like they had any alcohol in them. We ended up leaving and going downtown for Cocktails at the Shangri-​la where they are much better for the price.
They tried to charge each of us a $ 5 cover charge when we arrived just before 9pm for a 9:15 reservation. I guess they charge a cover after 9pm even if you’re having dinner. They argued that it was for the DJ but we reserved a table and wanted to sit outside. You can’t even hear the DJ outside where we sat! Completely stupid considering the prices on the menu.
The view was nice, but I would only come here for one drink and then leave and eat somewhere else. Definitely won’t come back here, disappointing overall

There are good and bad things about this restaurant which make it an overall 3 stars. First off, the skyline view of Toronto is absolutely gorgeous from Panorama’s 51^st floor patio. Admittedly I find the décor inside a bit tacky (think VIP section at a mediocre club in the entertainment district) but has improved substantially since the recent renovations. That’s just my personal taste though, I know others who like the look.
Aesthetics aside, the drinks are good, not great. Over the years I’ve had tried most of their frozen cocktails which are delicious if you have a sweet tooth like myself. Not very alcoholic so they feel more like a dessert than a cocktail. Expect this or be disappointed. The wine selection is decent, good variety of reds, whites, and rose. Decent spirits and scotch menu if you ask for one. Expect to pay a few dollars more than what you would pay in normal altitude bars.
Food is enjoyable but also marked up. I recommend the desserts over the meals. Service is friendly. All in all a decent place with above average prices because of the view but worth it :) I always come back for the view… it’s something you really can’t put a price on.
Note that the place is rarely over 50% full despite it’s ideal location. This is due to the overpriced mediocre food and drinks. Also the staff can be a bit snobby if you don’t «look the part». I suspected this and my suspicions were confirmed upon reading several other reviews.

Great view of Toronto to the north and south! Service is exceptional and food was great. Chicken waffles is quite tasty and the flatbread pizzas were very very good. You definitely pay for the ambience and it was worth it.

I recently attended a media preview of the rebranded restaurant, The One Eighty on the 51^st floor of the Manulife Centre. I took the time to admire the contemporary and stylish design of the restaurant, which features industrial metals and a soft grey palette. I took in the million dollar views of Toronto’s ever evolving, gorgeous skyline.
I greeted my friends and our attentive server offered me a refreshing rosemary bramble cocktail. It was the perfect start to a sumptuous feast. Yorkville is synonymous with luxury and what is more luxurious than tableside bar cart service? Bringing back this service stops indecisiveness in its tracks, as you can instantly choose appetizers that catch your fancy. I chose the incredible savoury and sweet foie gras crème brûlée. Rich and creamy, it was as tasty as it was indulgent.
Our table also shared the freshly baked Margherita pizza with flavourful San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and basil. The pizza is hand stretched and is accompanied with spicy and chive infused extra virgin olive oils for a burst of bold flavours. I also sampled the delicate beef carpaccio accompanied with French green beans, frisée, chive oil and pecorino. The next dish was a simple, yet delicious ricotta caprese salad. The arugula was flavoured with acidic balsamic vinegar and the rich ricotta cheese provided a satisfying creamy texture.
For the main course, I had the divine beef tenderloin, which is among the most tender steak I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Pan seared and cooked to perfection, it is served with smooth buttermilk spun potatoes and balanced well with asparagus.
Just as I thought that it could not get any better, I was treated to a trio of mouth-​watering desserts. I have eaten panna cotta before, but I have never had it with creamsicle flavouring. It was unique, fluffy and bold in flavour with candied orange and petrified mandarin crisps. The lemon meringue verrine with buttery graham streusel was silky and tart. I saved the best for last, enjoying each morsel of the chocolate peanut butter tart accompanied with candied peanut bark and dark chocolate ganache. Heavenly is the only word that will suffice in describing this decadent chocolate lover’s treat.
It was certainly a memorable occasion with warm service, scrumptious and dynamic dishes and unforgettable views of Toronto’s stunning skyline. With options galore and a feast for the senses, I cannot wait to return to The One Eighty.

This place was great !!!
Noodle salad was ⁷⁄₁₀ .
Entrees ⁸⁄₁₀
Drinks ⁵⁄₁₀
But still recommended! The view is amazing

I came here for the atmosphere, gorgeous view and the food. The first two elements lived up to my expectations while the last, failed me unfortunately. Let’s start with the pros. Service, as provided by the famous Richard (server), was amazing. He was attentive, courteous, and made good conversation with us.
The place itself it somewhat small and the tables are pretty close together. The music is pretty loud if that matters to you. You do have to talk loud to hear one another. But that is part of the vibe. Décor is modern and fancy. Everyone is dressed to the nines and then you have the day tourist who are coming in with shorts and t-​shirts.
I came on a special night when the moon was reflecting a band of light off of Lake Ontario. The view was beyond spectacular. That DID make up for the sub-​par food which I will get to next. You can easily take your drinks out to the patio and take all the pretty selfies you want. =)
Ordered the asian noodle salad dish. It was basically raw, uncooked instant noodles mixed with some other ingredients. My date did not enjoy it one bit. The only redeeming factor were the shrimps. Chicken and waffles fared better but not by much. The waffles were stale and soggy. It was a real let down to be honest. The jalapeño and cherries were a nice touch but it couldnt save the dish. The fruit passion cake dessert was decent. Not ‘wow’ as a dessert should be. The 180 baileys drink was delicious but given that baileys on its own is so good, its not hard to make it taste good.
Overall, I am giving 180 a 4*. One knock down for sub-​par food. 4 stars for service, atmosphere, moon light and vibe. I would only come again if I was invited there. Note: $ 5 per person to get up the elevator.

I loved this place when it was Panarama and both my mom and I were super excited to try it out under the name one eighty.
First when I called in to get a table, the hostess seemed unsure of everything, she tried to give me a table at 9pm so I asked if it was fully booked. She said no, so I asked for 8pm, she asked for my name, after I told her she said actually I don’t need it, it’s not that full.
When we got there we sat beside a door that kept locking people out. Spent half my time there opening doors for people, until the manager finally came by and unlocked it (had to ask the waitress twice).
they seemed to be understaffed because of a private party. All the staffs were non stop running around, food to forever and the bus boy with the pitcher of water never made it over to our table, and we were there an hour and a half.
Dissapointed. View is still really nice and food wasn’t bad.

The One Eighty has arguably one of the best views in downtown Toronto. After taking the elevator directly to the 51^st floor of the Manulife Centre, I stepped out into an elegant restaurant with modern chic décor. The drinks menu selection is quite extensive here, prices are slightly on the higher end.
After ordering a drink, a waitress came by pushing a cart with a selection of appetizers to offer. We tried the steak tartare and grilled calamari, both are quite tasty. For the entrée, I tried The One Eighty pizza. It was served on a wooden board with olive oil and chili oil on the side. The portions are decent here and prices are reasonable. Most of all, I thoroughly enjoyed the special experience of dining to an amazing view of the city.

Magnificent view of the Toronto city!
It is the perfect place to take someone on a romantic date or to just wind down with your friends for dinner and drinks :) The view is absolutely breathtaking on the 51^st floor. Even if you’re not seated at a window seat, you’re welcome to venture out to their patio to have an even better view of our city!
I am still so in love with my experience at The One-​Eighty (what used to be Panorama 360). Service is smooth, friendly and attentive. (Btw, Richard is fantastic — I love how he connects with customers, and offers great recommendations!) With recent renovations and a completely new and exciting food and drinks menu, the relaunch brought the restaurant to whole new level.
I adore the new furniture, light fixtures and the modern and chic décor! The new bar area looks much bigger, brighter and more welcoming :) It is the center of attention right when you walk in. There is also a live DJ’s booth right beside it too… looking forward to another NYE party this year! As for the patio, they will soon be taking out the metal railings and putting in clear glass! The view is going to be even more spectacular without the «barriers» :D
Although I do miss the lobster mac and cheese, the new menu offers a variety of popular good eats… flat bread pizza, creamy pasta, tacos and dips :) I ordered the chicken and waffle and it had a nice balance of sweet, savory and spice! They also newly added a tapas-​styled food cart that serves chef’s daily specials from $ 3-​$ 10 each… the brussel sprouts caesar salad was very delicious.
The Shaken + Stirred section on the new drinks menu is definitely worth checking out. It offers cocktails that have been made and bottled on the day of by their bartender. Limited bottles made daily. If you’re looking for a sweeter girly drink, go for the Rosemary Bramble! Or if you enjoy a light summer drink, go for the One Eighty Spritz :) They really kicked the visual presentation up a notch with that huge iced cube and nice fancy garnishes ;) Love it.
I would definitely come back again :) Can’t wait to try more items on their food and drinks menu. And I’m very determined to try all their desserts next time as well hahaha… meanwhile, keep up the great work: D!

Only came here for late night drinks, so can’t comment on the dinner menu BUT that view!
I really need to come here during the day to get some pictures. Will update once revisited.
