Open for Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, O Resto Lounge comfortably sits 80 to 100 people and provides a basic atmosphere for hosting events.
The restaurant is perfect for smaller casual corporate events as it is themed with elegant red and hot pink accents, classy black mini chandeliers, a fabulous long bar, plus a lovely front patio.
During breakfast hours ‘O’s’ excellent food selections are complemented by the extensive list of coffee’s and specialty drinks.

We checked out the venue and it is quite casual so may be a good fit for staff events. We felt the rental and min spend was a bit high for the venue but the location is excellent as is beside the King subway.
