O Resto Lounge: An Intimate Downtown Venue
‘Food, Fun, and Friends’ is the Motto of O Resto Lounge. Located at 7 King Street East, the staff incorporate this vision into reality by embracing the mantra that, ‘at ‘O,’ we celebrate life everyday’.
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. Whether you are in the mood for coffee, espresso, latte, or mocha, ‘O’ has what seems to be a never-ending list of selection. The array of choices extends to the Lunch and Dinner menu. A variety of burgers, pizzas, and poutines are among the list of comfort foods most popular at ‘O’.
If you are looking to host a late night event, ‘O’ offers a long list of red and white wines, craft beer, martinis, scotch, whisky, cognac, and cocktails- perfect for serving at your event.
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.

Hours: 11am-11pm (weekdays), 11am-12am (weekends)

On May 8th 2014, CityEvents staff was invited to the Ballet Event for “A Hidden Parisian Gem on Eclectic Ossington”, a networking event and venue open house. Located at 227A Ossington Avenue, the intimate atmosphere of the venue is immediately apparent.
Under their dim light and candles, the staff welcomed us with hors d’oeuvres. In addition to the appetizers, special drinks were also featured including, The Strawberry Aloe Hibiscus, Lemon Grass Delight and The Lychee Martini. These cocktails were a bit out of the ordinary but very tasty.
Ballet Event House has been known as the hottest venue on Ossington since 2013. This particular event, featured a sensual dance show, a Jazz & Blues live music performance with Errol Fisher, which held a real experience to foretaste just for a moment, before coming back to reality!
