“ This may be one of my favorite spots in the city, for amazing wine AND delicious food! Serious compliments to the chef(s). I’ve been a few times but leaving a rather late review for the tasting menu we tried earlier this year. An 11/10 meal. The hamachi crudo was incredible, as well as the chorizo arayes and duck breast! Amazing ambiance and have enjoyed the vinyl sets here every time I’ve been. Will definitely be back for their fall/winter menu! ”
“ Incredibly vibe-y spot for good shareables and groovy tracks. The sound system is amazing, and the music is just right, not too loud and not too soft. Food-wise, the lamb dish and the eggplant dip one were excellent, definite favorites of ours. Overall, a fun spot ideally for groups of 2-4. ”
“ What a cute spot on College street. Music was amazing for a Friday night. It was super cozy :) The owner was also lovely and held our outside drinks for us! Definitely a vibe. ”
“ We had a great time at The Little Jerry good varieties of wine and delicious spectacular sides, among many the sardines and lamb were great with pickle lemon and sauce also the chicken thigh were cooked to perfection! Nice Ice Cream topped with fennel. Overall if you are looking at an easy going environment with great service, wine and food that is the place to go!!! ”
“ Absolutely lovely atmosphere. We sat inside at the bar and loved getting almost a behind the scenes look at how it’s run. The bartender carefully dimmed the lights little by little as the evening went on to curate the ambiance, while also switching out records in a masterful way to set the vibe. We even found a record we’d like to own- some Lithuanian disco we otherwise would have never heard. I wish I lived in Toronto so I could frequent Little Jerry’s. ”
“ Just introduced a cocktail menu not too long ago, they stick to the menu for this as the cocktails are pre-batched and delicious. Great selection of wines & cozy seating area. Food is a 10/10. It does turn into a club type of vibe on Saturdays, around 1130/12 so if that's not really your vibe, just head there for dinner/apps. ”
“ Was recommended this place by multiple people on our visit to Toronto, it did not disappoint! I loved the atmosphere, the wine and the braised short rib! Also Latvian disco spinning really solidified my love for this place. ”
“ One of the best meals I’ve had in the city- the food was so soulful and delicious. The service was incredible, our waitress knew every item on the menu, really appreciated her insights. Coolest atmosphere, very cozy and casual. Perfect spot for shared plates and drinks with friends. Will be coming back soon! ”
