Hey Lucy

Me and my friend went here and got the mac and cheese balls, which were amazing! We then ordered two pizzas on our own, which were both fantastic. We wanted to get dessert but we were too full! Great place!

Hey Lucy has two things going for it– reasonably good service and long lines out the door at Insomnia down the street, some of whom don’t want to wait an hour for a table.
The French toast at Hey Lucy was not particularly good. It was actually not worth ordering. In addition to it, I paid 4 – 5 $ extra for three greasy pieces of bacon that were not the size of one normal piece of bacon. The coffee was at least hot, and my server was good with bringing refills.
I would write more, yet the place inspires so little enthusiasm or emotion of any kind that it is not worth it.

The antipasto plate was excellent as an appetizer. There were piles of olives, artichokes, sun-​dried tomatoes, balsamic-​glazed onions, and garlic, but the pita bread it was served with was a bit over-​charred.
The butternut squash ravioli sauce had a very heavy tomato sauce with tomato paste-​like consistency and flavour. It didn’t combine well with the goat cheese and spicy pecans. Because of this, the ravioli felt quite heavy and got boring after a few bites.
Service was very mediocre. They don’t have a great system for greeting people at the door and no one acknowledged us initially. We grabbed a booth and there was some delay in getting served. The waitress didn’t use the corkscrew properly and fumbled with the bottle for a couple minutes at the table trying to get the cork out. We waited a fair bit of time to get our bill at the evening.
Overall, nothing to write home about. There are a lot of fun options nearby that I would consider before coming here.

This was a weird experience. I think the table next to us was full of drama students… or they might just simply have been very eccentric people. A third of the way through dinner, a guy with eyeliner and a girl from the table started singing songs from disney movies to a table next to us. It was hard to ignore…
Anyway food was reeeeally mediocre. Compared to other food in the area it really lacked. It’s a shame because I heard good things about Hey Lucy, but those comments were directed to the one on King. Not sure if they’re different, but after this experience I won’t bother checking it out.
Those people singing were so happy. I HATE happy people they’re freakin annoying. Just let me eat my overpriced pizza pocket in peace.

I usually only go to Hey Lucy on Wednesdays for martinis (they have the special at both locations).
I went this past Saturday with a group of friends for dinner. Our service was painfully slow, our meals arrived at different times, and some people had settled the bills with the server before others had finished eating (she just brought around the bills as that end of the table finished).
I’ve been before in a group of 4, or even just as two people, and haven’t noticed really slow service, but perhaps they also have more staff working on Wednesdays. I think I’ll stay away on Saturday nights and stick with somewhere that can handle the crowds.

Unless you are desperate to get a seat indoors because you have a toddler or you are exhausted or not too particular, this place does not have good food and is better avoided if possible. To add insult to injury they were skimpy with the bad food and it was also lukewarm to barely cooked. It was not busy AT ALL inside so I could not see any reason why the food was undercooked. We at the table were fairly hungry and the only persons gobbling the food were the kids (one who likes deep-​fried breading and icing and the other a growing teen). The music was nice, and there were a lot of seats, plus the washrooms were clean.

Pretty shitty service.
All we ordered was a side of breakfast potatoes and one slide of French toast — nothing else. We waiting for 20 minutes before inquiring about our order. The waitress says, «honestly it’s just really busy right now, it’ll come out when they’re ready». So we keep waiting, frustrated and hungry at this point, then we over hear the waitress asking the kitchen about our order and they say that they’ve already brought it out!!! And she had to argue with them saying that we still haven’t been served. If that isn’t miscommunication between the front of house and the kitchen, I don’t know what is.
They apologized after the meal was served.

I had walked by here numerous times in the past couple of years and had meant to go in and give it a try — especially its famous Wednesday Martini specials! As expected, it was crowded and definitely busy when I finally got to go on a cold, Wednesday evening — looking for a drink to warm me up! The service wasn’t the best, our server couldn’t have any less time for us. Understandable, I guess we weren’t going to be big spenders.
They didn’t have their famous chocolate martini… okay, disappointing — a big reason why I decided to go.
Had one drink, and was debating about having a second one. That decision was made for me when the server very promptly gave us our bill… okay, no second drink then!

I visited Hey Lucy on Bloor for brunch recently and had a pretty decent time. We were told to seat ourselves, which we did, and our waitress came to greet us and take our orders as quickly as she could. Our food came exceptionally fast – I think around ten minutes after we ordered. I was super impressed by this! I had the veggie eggs Benedict, which was delicious; I really enjoyed the tri-​coloured potoatoes! Coffee was good, too.
The only downside to the experience was that the waitresses seemed understaffed and flustered. Though the restaurant was busy, but not overly so for a Sunday morning, it took us nearly half an hour to receive our bill after requesting it. It was a shame as put a damper on the end of an otherwise fantastic meal and great service. Our waitress was really sweet, though, so I can’t fault her. We’ll be back again as the food was great and we understand that staffing issues can definitely happen!

Was served by a new bar tender leah, excellent service. Such a fun time, really great expierence. Definitely recommend.

Went there twice. First time was quite good, but the second time was terrible.
I went in there today ~4:30 for an early dinner with my friend. There were only 4 tables in total including us, but it took the waitress 10min to get us a glass of water to start. I ordered when she brought us out water, and my friend wasn’t going to eat, so she told the waitress she would order her drinks a little later.
20 min gone by and the waitress did not even come back and ask if my friend was ready to order her drink. But we didn’t mind so much because we were too busy catching up with each other’s lives. Another 10 min gone by and my food finally came. I ordered Bacon & Pesto Pizza and Fried Calamari. The Fried Calamari was terrible, it was just lukewarm and not crunchy at all. Also the seasoning was way off, there was an imbalance of salt and vinegar. Anyway, when I was taking a bite of my pizza, surprisingly I bit into a piece of wood that was hiding under the bacon! I called the waitress back and told her about the situation, she apologized instantly but did not offer anything. I actually wanted the Prosciutto Pizza originally so I asked her if I can get a new one made but change it to the Prosciutto Pizza. And I offered to pay for the pizza regardless, since I wasn’t sure if such changes were too much to ask for. She said yes, and brought back my Prosciutto Pizza 20min later. The pizza was bad. Crust was very hard and again, seasoning was way off (unlike the one I had the first time I was here!).
The waitress came back a few times after and ask if we’re doing okay, but she did not offer me a complementary drink/​any discount/​apologize again even though they made me bit into a piece of wood!!!
In the end i still tipped at least 10% because I felt bad. But HATED the food and service. The waitress was not professional and food is subpar. Never coming back.

I’ve never eaten in because the music is always so loud but I decided to try it out for take out (this was probably last year). I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which were stated to cost something like $ 11.50 on the menu posted outside. I placed my order and came back later. The bill came to over 15 dollars! I asked what was up with that and she said «oh the pricing on that menu is out of date» uh ok… Then maybe someone should take some initiative and update it so people know how much they’re spending. She should have apologized and offered to charge me the price as advertised. Instead I felt mislead.
Oh top of that the dish was bland with watery sauce and the bread was burnt.
Very disappointed with the quality, probably won’t be back.

I can only say wonderful things about this place all around after my experience there last night.
1) they had fantastic wine specials.
2) my 2 girls had a couple of the salads and loved them. I had the butternut squash ravioli accompanied by a small salad and it was great — the sauce was delish, I believe there was walnuts in the sauce which was a pleasant, crunchy surprise and the noodles were perfectly cooked
3) the white sangria was really tasty — especially on the warm day on the patio
4) you seat yourself at this place and the patio fills up pretty quickly but it’s a great little spot in the Annex
After dinner, I had walked out, driven all the way home only to realize then I had forgotten my new Burberry jacket was left on the back of the chair. I called, and they had already stored it behind the bar for me.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service!

I really like hey Lucy. I went the other night for my friends bday and it was 5 dollar wine night. What a great deal! Our server was wonderful and conversational and we were Able to snag a spot on side patio which was nice. There interior design is «interesting», not sure why there so into the zebra print but to each their own. I always have a nice evening here. Thy have great daily deals and nice service! Who can complain?

This place is honestly a great relaxing place to spend an evening at. The service is always very kind and attentive.
The food is not too bad either. I recommend the pizza as it’s made in-​house which is tasty and not soggy like so many other handmade pizzas. The rest of the food is alright but not necessarily made with the freshest ingredients (I still think that the reason they used parsley on the bruschetta is because they ran out of basil) but it is still tasty.
The restaurant itself is quite lovely and has a wonderful patio (think heating lamps with string of lights). It’s low-​lit, has wonderfully comfortable seating and laid out in a way so that even when it’s busy, you can still have a comfortable conversation. It’s also pretty reliable on Fridays (it can be difficult to find space on weekend/​Friday nights in Toronto).

This place is ok, tried pizza here but not very memorable. Not very busy in the afternoon, in fact, there were plenty of seats on a late Saturday afternoon. The waitress seems confused at time. Given the area has so many bar nearby, I probably wouldn’t come again.

So, every time I go into a restaurant because it looks ok despite Unilocal reviews, the Unilocal reviews are always right. And they are definitely right this time — do not eat here.
Service was fine — but the food was at very best mediocre and most wasn’t even that. We had a huge antipasto platter which had too much of each vegetable, but was poorly seasoned and unevenly cooked.
The pizza crust was very poor and the sauce was both overly herby and yet tasteless. y daughter had the spaghetti and meatballs — meatballs had a weird texture and too much filler.
There are so many other options in this neighbourhood — don’t waste a meal here.

Good steak and fries for 23 $ tried the pizza too which is pretty awesome but too small for me haha

Je n’y a pris qu’un verre, alors je né peux vraiment pas évaluer ce lieu avec justesse. On dira un trois pour l’instant et on repassera pour le reste !

Is it bad that I didn’t hate this place as much as other reviewers??? I wouldn’t say that their food was iconic, but it wasn’t bad, either. There were a lot of options (like, a lot) on Bloor St, but my friend and I decided to come here because the menu had a number of options. We were seated outside, which was really nice. Our waitress was a tad slow, but she was incredibly pleasant. I got a pasta dish that was good, and it came with a large piece of garlic bread that made me really happy.
My favorite part about this place, though, was their drinks, specifically their martinis! Mine came with gummy bears in the bottom, and my friend and I down about 4 – 5 between the two of us. It made for a delicious addition to the meal.
If you’re going to come here, I would suggest coming for their drink specials! You can’t go wrong!

Such a fun place to go out with friends! It has something for everyone and the marini night is a hit! Love it in the summer when the windows are open.
That said, the food itself is not particularly memorable. This is a place I would go more for the atmosphere than the food.
