Pick 6ix

I was excited to visit this restaurant but wasn't sure how it would be based off of other yelp ratings. I decided to give it a chance and went with my family. Overall, it was a good experience!

Great food and interior - i'd give it a 4/5 for both. The only reason I am rating this a 3 is because the service was alright at best. Not sure if I would go back very often, but it wasn't too pricey either so I may just!

Let's be honest, the reason my crew and I decided to venture over here while in Toronto was because of the Drake buzz. We were looking for something to do on a Saturday night so this seemed like the obvious answer.

The bar is extremely trendy and luxurious, with awesome lighting, mirrors, and cool seating. The staff was fun and friendly. I was feeling good vibes all over as soon as we walked in.

We had already eaten dinner at a restaurant nearby so we skipped food and just focused on drinks. Their cocktails range from $12 - $18. Out of the three that I tried, my ranking is as follows:

1) Lucuma Loca - made with gin, ginger sour, lucuma, and prosecco. This cocktail usually comes with white peach purée, but since they were out of it that night, I asked for them to substitute it with passion fruit purée. It was FANTASTIC. Definitely my favorite cocktail of the night! And the gold flakes didn't hurt. ;)

2) Passion Punch - made with Remy Martin VSOP, Bacardi, passion fruit purée, ginger beer, and bitters. This cocktail was a close second. I'm not sure what exactly it lacked, I just know that I liked the previous one better.

3) Up All Night - another cocktail made with Bacardi but this time combined with lemongrass syrup. Not good, not bad, but wouldn't get it again. Not sweet and fruity enough for my liking.

Would I return here when I'm in Toronto? Possibly, if I'm looking for a fun and flashy place to grab a cocktail. Probably wouldn't make a night out of it though... unless of course Drake happens to make an appearance. =P

We came here for lunch one day and quite frankly, the best thing about our meal was the company. Oh, and maybe the miso soup. The service we received was okay, slow at times... and they even forgot to bring us our last order.

I've had better sushi for a lot less. We ordered the tuna roll, spicy salmon, snow crab and the lobster roll. The lobster roll was the best of the bunch however, that beautiful lobster tail in the middle was just an empty shell. Disappointing.

The tuna roll also had an unusual taste to it. None of us could quite put our finger on it. It almost tasted like mint. It was rather odd.

Honestly, Drake should stick to music because he certainly doesn't know sushi. This was definitely NOT god's plan.

Ten word summary: The food and service was good but everything was overpriced.

I had low expectations when I made reservations for this restaurant because of two things. One - restaurants usually have a lot of kinks to work out when they newly open. Two - I had a bad experience the last time I went to a restaurant associated with Drake.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon/night (my reservation was at 4:45 pm because they didn't have reservations during regular dinner time). We were greeted by a friendly staff and seated. I love the decor of the restaurant but as another reviewer mentioned, there's not enough TV and there's a glare making it hard to watch the game.

We ordered several dishes to share: Open Face Gyoza ($16 for 3), Hot Stone Bowl ($19 - they have a typo in their description of this dish :P), BBCG ($16), Lobster Spaghetti à la Montréal Style ($39), 8-Hour Braised Kalbi Style Short Rib ($36), Snow Crab Maki ($22 for 8), and Matcha Tiramisu ($13 - not on the menu).

The open face gyoza was nice, crunchy and delicious. The hot stone bowl was so so. It's nice to order it to go with the Kalbi short rib and to make sure you're not starving at the end of the meal. My friend suggested that we order the broccoli since Drake mentioned that he likes broccoli. This dish was a pass. I wouldn't order it again. I also wish they brought it out with the Kalbi short rib and the hot stone bowl instead of with the open face gyoza. I felt like it was more of a side dish than an appetizer.

The lobster spaghetti tasted cheap to me and not worth the $39. It's not that it tasted bad but I feel like lobster and bolognese don't really go that well together. The Kalbi short rib was very tender, flavourful and I have no complaints about the portion. The snow crab maki was good but overpriced. It was deliciously made but I'm sure I've had something similar at other restaurants for cheaper. I also would've preferred it if they brought out the maki before the spaghetti and the short rib. Since the maki has a more delicate flavour compared to the heavier dishes of spaghetti and Kalbi, I thought the progression would've been better if the maki came out first. It's just a personal preference but for the price we're paying, I feel like there needs to be closer attention to detail.

The matcha tiramisu had a nice, strong matcha taste at the top. I thought that it was a nice and interesting twist to the original tiramisu. The cream itself was mediocre. It was overly sweet and I felt like I was just eating condensed milk. I also felt that the presentation was very disappointing because it came in the same glass as our water glass.

I didn't have any issues with the food coming out late. However, there weren't that many diners in the restaurant since we ate dinner at such an odd time. I also had no issues with the staff. Yes, the food is expensive but that's expected. I would only come back here if I was around the area or if Drake decided to bring me here on a date.

Ambiance was fabulous. The idea is a restaurant and sports bar but serving higher quality and healthier options. A nice high end sports bar with quality food.

I love the lighting and sofas. My server, Theresa was very attentive. She addressed and listened to all my requests and concerns. I am very happy with her service.

The cocktails were really good, my favourite was the Lucuma Loca and then the Passion Punch.  I tried three different cocktails.

Drink #1: Yuzu & Royal Jelly- Grey goose Cerise Noire, Pick6ix Royal Jelly amaro, Yuzu sour, Sosa.

Drink #2 Lucuma Loca- Buddha's hand Bombbay East, ginger sour; lucuma, white peach purée, prosecco

Drink #3 Passion Punch- Remu Martin VSOP, Bacardi Gold Velvet, falernum, passion fruit purée, ginger beer, Peychaud's Bitters

Main: Lobster Spaghetti a la Montreal Style Bolognese, butter-poached lobster, Grand Padano. I wasn't a huge fan of this as I find the tomato sauce overpower the whole plate and the lobster tail was too small and tasted a bit undercooked.  But they have kindly exchanged another dish for me.

Main: The miso-marinated black cod was very nicely done. A thick cut of black cod. The flavour was good and the seasonal butternut squash purée went well with it. A good marriage of all flavours in the dish.

For the dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake, nice and warm. Not too sweet. A very nice dessert.

I was craving for sashimi, so I ordered the 9 pieces of sashimi. Nicely decorated with gold flakes. The salmon sashimi had bits of sesames on it.  I loved the seabream sashimi, it was even better than a lot of Japanese restaurants. I really enjoyed it. I should have read more about this restaurant to learn that the co-owner and Chef Antonia Park was in charge of the menu. I would have focused on the the sushi and sashimi.

I will definitely come back for more miso cod, more cocktails and sashimi! And to try other items on the menu!

I like the place. Lots of local toronto industry people always around. Young and good looking crowd. Food is a bit over priced and small in portions. Lounge / club sort of feel to it as well. The night i went we had rented the private room as it was a large crowd. We had allocated time slot as our table was reserved for the NBA team "houston rockets".

This place is tailored for the rich and private events as I got the impression that the status quo were encouraged to dine and leave.

Good experience tho.

I haven't even BEEN to Pick 6ix yet and I'm already furious with the restaurant.

I made a lunch reservation for next week for a work team of 6 about two weeks ago. We were all excited to try it as we were one block over.

First, the reservation requires a credit card, which I can understand from a business perspective. But it also involves a $25 (ish?) fee per person if we cancel the reservation before x many days (I believe it's 3 days).

I just got a call from an individual at the restaurant and I assumed that it was to confirm the reservation. No. They called to tell me that they were "switching to summer hours" and that they would only be open from 4:00pm and onward on weekdays.

So now, do I get PAID $25 per person for you guys cancelling our reservation? Of course not.

Also I would question the long-term success of this restaurant. If they were offering lunch before and only now "switching to summer hours", is that really just industry speak for "we don't have enough lunch patrons and we don't want to pay staff and have a surplus of ingredients for lunch items"? Summer started a while ago...

With a horrible booking policy such as theirs and in the core of the financial district, no wonder they couldn't attract the crowds.

I would honestly say that this restaurant is deserving of a rating closer to 1.5 stars.

Going in I had low expectations given all of the horrid reviews by fellow Yelp members. It's safe to say that those low expectations were met. Let's talk about service first. I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and had brought in cake for the birthday girl. We were told the plating fee was $6 a person. That's okay - we didn't need the cake to be plated so we asked if they could just bring the cake out for a photo but unfortunately they told us they would have to charge $6 a person anyway just to bring the cake out... never mind then. When we tried to get our cake back at the end of the night, the waitress at the front was nothing short of rude and obnoxious. We waited around for quite a long time before someone finally helped us grab the cake from the fridge.

Poor, pretentious service aside, let's move onto the drinks and food. Cocktails are very pricey here as expected - you're looking to spend almost $20. For the two of us we shared the lobster spaghetti (please do yourself a favour and skip this very mediocre dish - at $39 the lobster was tiny and the spaghetti was a huge disappointment), the snow crab maki (tasted decent but not sure it's worth $22), and the spicy salmon roll. Our friends ordered other dishes like the chicken sandwich and the hot stone bowl, and I think the general consensus is that the food is average at best but overpriced.

Another thing to note is that their washroom doors are kind of finicky! My friend almost got trapped - what more can I say?

Horrible service + overpriced and mediocre food = definitely would not recommend. The Drake hype is really just that... all hype and no substance. Unless they improve their menu and fire their snobby staff, I will not be back.

Had higher expectations based on the wait to get a reservation.

The service was fantastic our waitress was extremely friendly, and helpful. She was attentive just enough and that was probably the highlight of the night.

The menu wasn't available online so we didn't really know what to expect.

After having ate at Frings I expected it to be pricy and smaller portions.

The server suggested we do tapas style to try a bit of everything - and we went with her suggestions.

My most liked item was the lobster roll, there was nothing amazing about the rest (pictures attached).

After we finished eating we still had a glass of wine to finish and almost felt the pressure to leave. The restaurant was empty so I thought that was weird. We hasn't even asked for our bill and received it. Wasn't impressed as I did want another glass of wine.

Sorry Drake, I love your music but definitely not your restaurant...

Came here for lunch on a Thursday.  We couldnt make any reservations online as it was fully booked so we decided to walk-in.  The restaurant was not full at all so we were able to get a table no problem.  

The server recommended that the menu is tapas style so we ordered four things to share among the three of us.  The beef carpaccio ($22), the open face gyoza ($16), snow crab maki ($22) and grilled chicken salad ($19).  The food was really mediocore and average, nothing too special considering the price that we paid.  AND, the portions were MINISCULE. My boyfriend actually left with a hungry stomach.

The worst part of lunch was definitely the service. We ordered our food at 12:45pm and we waited a good 40 mins before the food came out.  We had to ask our server three times about our food.  When the food came, the server gave us the bill at the same time (as she knew we were in the a rush).  We were eating and settling the bill at the same time (super hectic).  Not to mention, the water glasses were never filled.

Would not recommend to anyone.

Setting all the "Drake buzz" aside, this place barely gets a 2 Stars rating!
The place/interior looks stunning, however, it's more of a bar/drinks' spot after work rather than an actual dine-in restaurant.

Reservation was easy via email and the website, you confirm by email and you're set.

The vibe is Loud music, 75% of customers are standing/walking around with drinks, so definitely more of a bar/lounge style.

The menu is limited, a couple of pages with no signature dishes to mention or brag about.

Prices are a little above normal, but you should be expecting that walking into the restaurant.

Service is fine, but all in all, A waste of beautiful interior and a big name, could've made something great out of it.

Nice looking restaurant, nice looking people but be prepared to be disappointed..... Read all the reviews before going for a birthday so my expectations weren't that high to begin with... But no clamato to make ceasars??  Ok.... What kind Tequila do you have? All kinds.... I will have a Don Julio Reposado... No? Ok Blanco then... 4 shots later they were out of that too.. Patron Silver please... No? Ok wtf do you have then just bring that... Like come on guys...  Food was pretty good, fish was fresh so no complaints there. Miso soup was bland.. Chefs table gave us a nice view of the kitchen which I enjoyed.. I enjoyed the music also..
Reviews are all on point so if you're gonna go, just go already.. If you're on the fence and are concerned with service and experience try somewhere else..

You may have trouble getting reservations to this place online but they usually take walk-ins whether you're sitting at the bar or the dining room. I'll start with the decor. Not necessarily my vibe but it is very swanky, lots of gold and accent colours with velvet purple chairs. They also have a live DJ, which gives this place a great vibe. I originally went for cocktails and they tasted great. Price wise they vary from $12-$18 so pretty standard. I got the AKAN SOUR. Like I said, tastes great but beware...they are not very strong. The food is generally tapas (sharing style) and there is lots of sushi! For $16 you get about 8 sushi pieces / rolls. You can also opt for an entree that you can eat with you gold cutlery for much more! One thing to note: the staff is super friendly. Our server was Gabriella and she was great and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

This place is still going through some growing pains but it is still early and I'm confident they'll get it right. If you want to see great decor, a swanky vibe and have some great food... Pick 6ix is a must.

Food: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Price: 3/5

I really wanted to love this restaurant.....
The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is impressive, but the food was mediocre. And for some reason theres a bunch of food not on the menu that you can order? We started with empanadas that honestly weren't that great. The shell didn't taste fresh, reminded me of something you'd microwave. For my entree I ordered steak fritz ($30). The fries was very plain and the steak was very plain. The highlight of dinner was my boyfriends fillet mignon
which was delicious and reasonably priced for that cut ($50) The portions are small, the prices are high and the food is underwhelming. Normally, if I'm not crazy about a restaurants food but I like the atmosphere it will become a happy hour spot. Not the case for Pick 6ix. $14 caesars that came in tiny glasses and weren't-even-good.

I came here for lunch on a Friday and honestly, the place is super nice. I expect nothing less but luxury from Drake. I ordered the lunch nigiri/sashimi set which came with a salad. The sushi was good but honestly quite overpriced. I thought the staff was super friendly but at times could be a bit over the top. I must say the highlight of my lunch was the matcha tiramisu for dessert. It was delicious so I would highly recommend. Overall, I would love to come and try dinner here since lunch has way less options but not sure if my wallet would appreciate it.

Great food and ambience - would definitely go back except for the dissapointing service.
Food deserves 4.5 stars if not 5
Ambience is 5 stars for sure with beautiful interiors

Sadly the service is what ruined my experience!
The night started out perfect with getting seated out on the patio. Me and my friends ordered drinks which all arrived in a timely manner and tasted great (also looked very pretty with flowers on them)! Next up we ordered our meals and after a lengthy wait were finally served (i understand it's a Saturday night and the restaurant was getting super busy). After that we managed to flag down our waitress to order  a dessert and finally asked for our bill..which took another 45 mins to arrive (at which point we got up and went to the bar to pay because there was no sign of our waitress and at this point we jsut wanted to leave).

Unfortunately the waitress seemed to have some sort of attitude where she never made eye contact with us - instead stared onto the street the whole time, never apologized for the food being late and basically forgetting to bring us our bills. After all of that, she didn't have the decency to even apologize for the service we got or even a thank you after we decently tipped.

Sad to say but maybe the restaurant should invest in better quality servers as that makes a world of a difference in the restaurant business!

Came here for dinner with my fiancé and 2 friends. Our expectations were a bit curbed due to the reviews but we honestly enjoyed our meal here. We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were promptly seated at a table in what I presume will be their outdoor patio once the weather heats up (covered and enclosed at the time). Our only issue was that our table was in between 2 heat lamps which were turned on but we told our server that it was getting too hot so they shut one off.

When the menus were provided, I noticed that they were different from what has been posted and our server advised us that they had just received new menus the day before. I ordered one of their signature cocktails, Passion Punch, which was one of the better drinks that I've had. It consisted of passion fruit, Remy Martin and ginger beer and was so tasty and refreshing.

For starters, we shared the poke bowl and Asian salad. The poke bowl had nice flavours but felt like there was too much rice. The salad provided a nice contrast as it was similar to a slaw.

For entrees, we were feeling like sushi so we ordered the snow crab, soft shell crab and shrimp tempura rolls. My fiancé was craving seafood as well and ordered the king salmon bowl. Between the 3 rolls, I enjoyed the snow crab roll the most as it had some torched fish on top, which gave a nice warm element to the dish. The soft shell crab roll was good also and the shrimp tempura roll would have been better if the tempura had been crispier. The king salmon bowl was massive but was delicious and had a nice spicy kick to it. It was difficult to finish only because we had so much rice from the poke bowl and sushi rolls.

Our server was very attentive and there was not a single time that we had to ask for water as it was constantly refilled. Although it is it pricey, we would definitely return, perhaps in the summer once the patio is open.

Pick6:

Had a great experience from the moment I made reservations with all my special requests. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Lobster roll, Black Cod and Tiramisu (not on the menue) were to die for! Definitely coming back!

Love the environment, service and food. Went for brunch and stayed for the after party. Brunch was great, I tried the mimosas, ceasar and the mojitos. Their eggs Florentine was great, the potatoes were a little over cooked but regardless I thoroughly enjoyed. The party was good, VERY crowded, but good!

The interior design is stunning and the wait staff were very nice and friendly, but the rest of our experience was terrible.

We waited an hour for our food to come out. When we finally received it, it was cold and bland. My friend and I split the pork belly entree which was so filled with fat, I couldn't eat most of it. The only good thing was the mac and cheese but I don't think good mac and cheese was worth the $30 I paid for the entree. I also paid $17 for a cocktail that barely had any alcohol in it at all.

I was excited to visit this restaurant and I think it has a lot of potential but it needs major improvements, especially for how expensive it is.
