Jump Restaurant

Good points: beautiful décor, service was friendly, prompt and attentive.
Cons: the food is just average. Had a party of 6 and we all ordered a variety of items off the lunch menu. Tuna tartare, soup, salads (green and chopped), pasta and calamari. For the price you would think it would be mind blowing. Average and not memorable.

This place is pricey but totally worth it, all the entrees are to die for and the dessert? Even better! The deep fried cheesecake is a MUST, totally I love with it!

Nice place for a quick lunch and business meeting point. Very friendly staff and fresh dishes.

The huge whisk (e)y selection here is definitely a selling point, but the food is only okay. Don’t go expecting to be wowed. You won’t be really disappointed, but you won’t be impressed either.

I came here for a business lunch and was pretty disappointed. it is very hard to hear in here and I found the service slow, although it was pretty friendly. The food came out quickly, but my dish of a linguine vongole was shockingly bland (and it was $ 22!) While presented nicely, it literally was a pile of cooked linguine, with a few pieces of «crispy fatty pork» (their fancy way of saying «bacon») and a few clams outside of their shell. Now I don’t know about you, but typically a pasta vongole is probably the most flavour packed item on any pasta list since you cook the pasta in the clam water — but in this case, the execution just seemed… dejected. Sigh. I hope if I return again for another meal, the dishes will be a bit more inspired!

I came here for a belated Valentine’s dinner with my wife last week and we were sat by the manager (I think she’s Polish) when we entered the restaurant. You can really tell that she loves what she does as she smiled the whole time she was talking to us.
We sat next to the window in the restaurant, the restaurant was quite busy so we were happy with our table. Our server came to the table and explained the menu to us, he was well versed on the dishes and (as my wife has a lot of allergies) was able to communicate well with the Chefs to make her dining experience a great one. We had the Tartare and Oysters to begin, then i had Steak Frites and my wife had crab ravioli with squash purée.
We were treated to another pasta dish from the chef because we were celebrating V Day late, I thought that was a nice gesture.
Upside (s): Great Décor, amazing service and awesome food
Downside: The hot sauce that comes with the Oysters is unbarebly spicy
I will, for sure come back here for a special occasion like Valentine’s or a birthday in the future.

Really enjoyed the steak and the atmosphere; the staff was fantastic.

I visited this restaurant during valentines weekend so I had the Valentines Day Fix Menu, which includes an appetizer, a pasta, a main course and a dessert and it was 80 per person.
Overall the foods were all in large portion compare to other fine dining restaurants. While their foods were good, I feel that their sauces used in foods were especially well tasted! The not so amazing part was the ambience. The class ceiling was under renovation and the tables were placed really close. Our table was just an arm way from the table next to us.
The appetizer I chooses was the Cesar Salad. The freshness of lettuce was maximized by the slightly sour sauce. Chicken slices was probably boiled by water. So it’s pretty healthy and light. Not impressive, but a good start.
My friend ordered the chicken liver which was served in a jar. I did not try it but it seems to have a decent portion.
After that, I had the Capellini di mare which is a capellini served with clams and tomato sauce. I love the slightly spicy and sour taste. It was smoothly and mouth watering.
My friend had the Swizzchard ravioli. Personally I am not a fan a cheese. But if you are you will be touched by the cheese that exploded on your tongue after your first bite on the ravioli.
For main course my friend had the half lobster and it was amazing. The taste of ocean was well presented through the tenderness of the lobster meat.
I had the 10oz New York steak. It was well cooked to medium according to my order. The beef was crispy outside and juicy inside, and the carrot and potato served with it was full of gravy.
However here came the unpleasant interruption of the night. I found a staple when I ate the potato. When I reported that to the server, he quickly came to apologize, which was good, but also emphasized that the food was good, trying to indicate that the staple was just a small problem. We received a discount by the end which was equal to about 15% off our bill for this incident.
By the end we had the Baked Alaska for two as our dessert. The strawberry ice cream was wrapped with chocolate sponge cake and then covered with cream. Then the server will pour a glass of bourbon onto the cake and flame it to caramelize it. The process was fancy. The cake itself was huge, with just appropriate sweetness.
Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would consider come back to give it another try in the future with the normal a la carte menu.

I was spoiled with Bymark for lunch and Jump for dinner today. I must say, one cannot get enough of Mark’s cooking.
I have always enjoyed Jump since the day they opened. Noting has changed.

This review is specifically for lunch. I’ve visited this place for lunch with my boss, and co-​workers consistently choose this spot for a meal during work hours based on a a few very basic, but dependable factors: the service is super quick, food is consistently decent, and the atmosphere is classy, trendy, yet still super professional if you’re coming here with colleagues. It’s elegant enough that I’m sure it’s just as nice in the evening as well, for a dinner or a date or a meal with friends.
When you barely have an hour for lunch, but you want to step out for something nice in the Financial District, Jump understands the urgency. They bring your food out in less than 10 minutes, but it’s always fresh and carefully prepared. While the delicious factor isn’t off the scale, the food is decently above-​average and quite good. The lunch menu doesn’t have much variety, but there are still some pretty dependable options — I’ve had the Roasted Chicken Caesar Salad and the Pacific Salmon Main. Both have been classic dishes where you can’t go wrong — while they won’t make your tastebuds swoon, they aren’t terrible either.
Overall, a reliable spot for lunch in the Financial District for satisfactory food, trendy and sophisticated ambiance, a room full of suits, and a very convenient location just east of Bay and Wellington.

Really small menu for lunch, chances are you won’t find anything you actually want to eat on their lunch menu. Seems like the dinner menu is much better in terms of variety. Portions are on the tiny side, and I found myself to crave a little more food after I finished — as did several others I had lunch with.
Ordered the Pacific Salmon which was served with soba noodles… it was tasteless. It tastes like something you should eat if you’re on a strict diet. You should also know that the salmon is not fully cooked and left medium rare. I understand this is a new way of cooking salmon but I prefer my salmon fully cooked. I just wasn’t satisfied at all with this meal both in terms of flavour and portion.
Wanted to have a cappuccino after, but unfortunately they didn’t have lactose free milk. For such an upscale restaurant, that was rather disappointing. The only saving grace is that this is a fantastic location with great décor, comfortable seats, and great service.

This place never failed to impress my guests and exceed expectations.
A business lunch or friendly dinner I have nothing to complain about.
Latest experience was new year eves dinner.
The set menue was perfect, the selection was put together from appetizers to desserts to satisfy everyone. The price was more reasonable than expected for that particular night and compared to same price bracket restaurants.
The huge surprise was the portions… When you pay less than $ 100 for a 4 course set menue in a 5 star restaurant and everyone in your party can barely finish the dessert, then the portions are very generous. The steak that partner had and the lamb I had were beyond amazing.
Love this place

I came here for a Christmas dinner with friends and the staff were quite nice and accommodating. They have a great setting if you’re looking for a more upscale evening with friends and family. But unfortunately that was the highlight of the evening for me.
When it come down to the food and drinks I was underwhelmed. The drinks were average price until you get to the wine list. Every wine by glass seemed to be over priced for the quantity you were getting, in respect it was most much economical to get a bottle of wine and share that instead.
The food was mediocre. A friend and I had split the Sunday Roast dinner for 2 which included a meat platter, salad, bread and 2 pasta dishes for $ 79. the quality of the meal was good and it was cooked very well, however the pasta seemed to be neglected it was over acidic and below room temperate (seems odd for an italian restaurant) and the salad was not dressed well. For the price point I would have expected a better quality meal, there are several other places in Toronto where you can have a great italian meal for less then $ 25. If you’re busy and unable to do some research into other Toronto restaurants this is a good default place to go. However, I’d say do some research and find another place to go.

Food was OK and nothing to write home about, but I just want to add to the praise for the White Chocolate Cheesecake — it lives up to the hype and I would come again just for that signature dessert.
Also, this place made the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had.

Resto «trendy’ du centre-​ville du célèbre «Oliver and Bonacini Restaurants Group» (voir leur site web pour les autres restos). Pour avoir essayé 3 des restos du groupes, je crois qu’ils ont des établissements de qualité avec un bon rapport qualité/​prix, et Jump né fait pas exception.
Le plafond extrèmement haut et l’atmosphère bruyante enlève un peu d’intimité à l’endroit, mais le décor feutré, les gros fauteuils et l’éclairage tamisé compensent amplement.
Nous avons mangé un des «Daily Specials», le «SUNDAY» GRAVY FOR TWO:
beef short ribs, pork tenderloin, sausage, fresh bucatini (pasta), green salad, crusty bread (79 $ pour 2 personnes). Il s’agit d’un plat traditionnel italien à partager qui consiste à plusieurs délicieuses pièces de viande dans un bouillon, toutes cuites à la perfection. Le tout accompagné de pates cuites dans le bouillon de viande, de délicieuses pommes de terre, de rapinis sautés, de pain grillé et d’une salade verte.
Sélection de vins au verre bien.
Service très bien.
J’aurais donné 4.5÷5 si j’avais pu écrire «.5»…

Not a huge fan of Jump. Its servicable, but not somewhere I would want to pay my own money for. I’ve been here a number of times over the years and its always a safe bet for a business lunch. Its easy to get reservations and the food is safe. Theres nothing ground breaking on the menu, and everyone can find something to order.
Got the salmon with soba noodles as a main and the beet salad as a starter. Salmon was okay, a bit over cooked and difficult to eat for a business lunch. The beet salad was pretty good. It tasted very fresh and something I enjoyed. Service here is pretty good just cause its a business clientele.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, they mixed up my reservation (I made it for 8pm but they thought 7.30pm) but to be fair I was being difficult and have to change it 2 times. Very cozy, financial district décor, the chairs were plush, the lighting was pretty and it just felt like money inside, as if I should be dining with Don Draper.
We ordered 1 meal off the summerlicious menu ($ 35 dinner), and that was a really big disappointment. The pig and parsley terrine was soft and good but the bread and the chichorron that came with it felt stale and was chewy. You can tell its been pre-​made and sitting out for a while because the sauce had built a thin film on top. The salmon entrée felt cold and the skin wasnt crispy fried. The dessert was the worst part — got the coconut sponge cake — not spongey at all — it was hard as a rock, dry as a brick. For summerlicious I’d stay far far away.
However, we also order items off their regular menu. The tuna appetizer was good ($ 19) — but not memorable, the fish itself was good and nice and raw in the middle, but there was an odd spicy sauce that I couldnt figure out what it was. The mushroom soup was ok — at least it came out somewhat warm. The redeeming part of the meal was the $ 100 — 20oz ribeye for 2 — it comes out on a large platter with potatoes and carrots. It also comes with a bone marrow, which was the best part. The steak was good, wasnt chewy and again came out hot. The tiramisu dessert coffee was good, but felt a bit small and you could finish it in about 5 gulps.
Our server was ok nothing spectacular, didn’t smile too much just average. I may come back again to eat their regular menu again.

Pretty restaurant with padded high-​backed seats and plush chairs. The SUMMERLICIOUS menu was available although they served from the regular menu as well. Had a pint of muskoka detour which was not really a pint, but more like 16oz.
For appetizer I had the chilled pea soup with shrimp which had good flavor and texture, bit reinforced my previous conviction that I only like my soups hot. The bread and dip they serve in the beginning was not that great, the bread being cold and the dip basically just a tomato sauce with olive oil.
The lamb was a disappointment. The polenta was mushy, the green olive flavor was overpowering and the lamb itself was small in quantity and taste. I expected more from such a well known and expensive restaurant. I’ve had much better lamb in greektown.
The coconut sponge cake did not feel much like coconut and was dense and dry in the middle. Pineapple salsa saved the day but not completely.
No matter how hard I try I cannot give this place more than 3 stars.

Came here for Summerlicious lunch, everyone at our table ordered the Chilled Pea Soup as appetizer which was the highlight of the meal for me. It was refreshing and has a slight kick from the chilli oil drizzled on top.
The B.C. Keta Salmon was served on top of smoked farro, braised kale, pickled mushrooms in maple dashi broth. It has a good balance between the acidity and savoury. The salmon itself was a bit undercooked probably due to the lunch rush.
Artisan Chocolate Marquise Cake was not overly sweet, the cherry compote complemented the cake nicely.
The servers were attentive, however the food service was slow for our table. Also, our orders got mixed up twice (chicken instead salmon, and the cheese plate instead of chocolate cake).

I love this place. Trick is… to order food that you can understand goes into it.
The price is high but it has to do with the location and everyone in the financial district is automagically considered ballers.
I know it’s a faux pas to have summerlicious and winterlicious here, but i do… guilty!

I’m trying to be a little more discerning in my reviews now, as a 3 star rating might be a little out of character for me. In summary, service was very good, food was on the pricey side, and I didn’t get to try the cocktails today!
On the service side our waiter was very attentive and made sure that water was kept full throughout, BUT I realized that we missed out on the amazing bread and dip that is given while waiting on the meal.
For food I had the daily special which was a jalepeno turkey burger. It was pretty good and the root chips it came with were excellent! However, for the price I would go for the ahi tuna burger with its more substantial sides at Ki over this any day.
I did notice that there were some pretty good prix fixe options available for dinner, and any place that proudly displays Makers on a wall should have some pretty good cocktails, so I will be coming back and hoping to see my rating go up!

3 étoiles c’est peut-​être un peu sévère mais bon, c’est un resto trendy comme on en trouve à la pelle dans toutes les grandes villes nord-​américaines. Donc la cuisine est bien exécutée, un brin originale mais le lieu manqué d’âme et de personalité à mon avis.
J’étais avec un groupe business, j’ai donc pas vu l’addition mais ça devait être trop élevé pour ce qu’on a eu. Et le choix de vin était décevant.
Le service était parfait.
