This restaurant was recommended to us and it was our first visit to Radius. We went as a couple on a Wednesday evening. There was ample parking just around the corner considering the downtown location. We were immediately impressed with the decor and atmosphere. We enjoyed the live music however found it difficult at times to have a conversation due to the volume. The wine list is extensive and we found it to be reasonably priced. We began our meal with the Grand Board which we both enjoyed. For our main course we had steak (ribeye and tenderloin) which had great flavour and was prepared exactly as requested. (Note that sides are to be ordered separately and in addition to the steak menu). For dessert we shared a selection of specialty ice creams which were delicious. It was a great night. We would return again!

Took a friend here for lunch to thank him for some work he had done for me. We arrived shortly after noon on a Friday and had no trouble getting a table, but by the time were were leaving around 2:00 the place had quickly filled up. He went with the vegetable panini ($16.50) which also came with a side soup as well as a coffee ($3.00). I went with the Radius Burger ($16.50) and opted for the side fries. The fries were plentiful and decent enough. The burger was tasty with the appropriate amount of fixings.
April was our waitress and she was a true professional, definitely an asset for Radius.

4 of us went to Radius prior to the 7:30 start time at Theatre Aquarius. Our reservation was for 5 pm - earlier than we usually dine. The restaurant was fairly quiet at that time. Service was excellent. We chose a bottle of wine that was out of stock (twice) so the waiter made a suggestion and brought an open bottle to the table so we could taste the wine. The new menu added some choices that we had not tried on previous visits as well as maintaining some favourites. Everyone enjoyed the choice of appetizer and entree. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. There was a large party that arrived and was seated on the upper level. Noise carries in the restaurant, but we were still able to carry on a conversation.

Atmosphere is beautiful & you can make reservations!! Positive!! Waiter and Ian came to greet us and welcome us to the restaurant. This is not our first time coming but unfortunately the 2nd time we were not overly impressed.
We were a group of 4 and just looking for a good meal!
This is when it all fell apart....
2 out of the 4 meals were sent back!
The first meal was a cauliflower "burger" with a side of warm chickpea salad. The flavour was definitely not enjoyable. We passed it around the table to see if anyone out the 4 would enjoy it, and we all said NO! We sent it back and ordered a grilled chicken salad (which was nothing special).
The second meal was the pasta special, homemade Fettacchini with a delicious sauce and peas... It was wonderful besides the pasta being all clumped together.
The third meal was a side of frites with a side of brussel sprouts! hahah They were both good! The brussel sprouts were actually amazing!
The fourth meal was the BURGER which was BURNT! completely... They did replace it but unfortunately she ended up having to eat alone.

They were generous enough to give the birthday girl a free dessert, however NO deduction or discount off of any of the food that was sent back. No offer to take the appetizer or any sort of apology! This surprised me as most places feel horrible especial if it is actual food being burnt! We heard the excuse a number of times that it was their first week launching a new menu... hmmmmm

It will take a lot for us to go back

Let me start with something positive - beautiful atmosphere, waitress was helpful and pleasant. However...was greeted by the sommelier who explained they were under new management and were introducing a new menu but didn't offer any wine suggestions (???). I had my heart set on a steak but the prices! $32 for a 6oz steak, then another $9 if I wanted mashed potatoes and another $9 for veg. Um no, just on the principle. We ordered a bottle of wine and the waitress kept coming over and filling our glasses, then brought a second bottle without us asking for it. Felt very pushy and presumptuous. The food we did order was okay but nobody had a fantastic meal. With so many other great restaurant choices in the area no one in our party of six will be returning.
