Never been disappointed at this restaurant. The service is impeccable. Other restaurants should take note! I believe the owner’s name is Fernando. He takes pride in providing the best service. You can truly see this is his passion. He also does private parties. Great space to entertain an event or just have an great meal. 5/5!

We had not been to Rush Hour for several years, although we used to go regularly when visiting Toronto. On our recent visit, we were very pleased to find the same excellent service and fine food. We were warmly greeted by the owner and served by a very attentive waiter. Cod was a special that day and was very much enjoyed by 3 of our group - perfectly prepared with tasty vegetables as accompaniment. I had the signature risotto which was as good as it always has been. We ordered a Caesar salad to share and it came artistically split on 2 plates. We drank the 'house' Pinot Gris which was very acceptable. There was one large party but the noise level was still ok - we could converse! All in all, a very pleasant evening and we will return.

Last night I visited Rush Hour for a family dinner and was extremely impressed with the atmosphere and delicious food. To say that the customer service was superb would be an understatement. Everyone had a personality and made you feel at home, which goes a long way.The great taste, matched with excellent presentation and a very reasonable price, made for a wonderful dining experience.I highly recommend Rush Hour to anyone in the area looking to immerse themselves in tasty Portuguese cuisine and culture.Thank you for a great dinner.

I just had absolutely the best Chilean sea bass I have ever had in my life. It was grilled to perfection on the outside and the inside was moist and sweet and the flakes just fell off. Presentation was beautiful. The wine accompanying it was a recommendation that complemented the meal perfectly. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was intimate but light-filled. I highly recommend this.

Rush Hour is a comfortable, unpretentious restaurant with great food and service. The owner clearly cares deeply about every customer's experience whether you are new, as we were, or a regular. Food is delicious and well prepared, and the menu has clever and inventive offerings. The chorizo and peach appetizer for example, is delicious. The Caesar salad is a star, and the seafood offerings are all fresh and tasty. Wine list has a solid French and local offerings and a number of unique and fun Portuguese wines. The service is very good - attentive thoughtful and friendly.

Rush Hour is a hidden gem! Consistently good service, nice ambience and the perfect spot to have a glass of wine and enjoy a conversation. I’ve tried different dishes - picanha, lobster ravioli and chicken Marsala, and always had a great experience. The bonus is the delicious homemade hummus with fresh bread and pita chips, so good!

Awesome place! We went there for my boyfriend's birthday with some friends. Got great food and great service. The food was tasty, healthy and well presented. I am very sensitive towards food and undrestand the difference between good and bad food right away. The food was made of fresh and high quality ingredients and very well cooked. Service was amazing . They even cut my boyfriend's birthday cake for us in such a nice and presentable way. I was impressed with the fact that owner himself came and checked on us to see if we are happy with the service. Prices were very reasonable compared to the quality of food. Absolutelt recommended. Definitely will come back for other occasions.

Went for a birthday dinner and was very pleasantly surprised about this place. Walked down Dufferin a few times but must of missed it/ probably was closed earlier in the day. Ate inside but the patio looked great tucked on a quite side street.The menu had a great selection of food and we were offered 3+ specials off menu. The server and owner we very nice and accommodating to my allergies and gave us warning of what I couldn't eat and what was used in the kitchen. They were also happy to switch around some side veggies to fit everyones tastebuds perfectly.All the meat dishes were cooked/seasoned perfectly and a great size portion for the prices. Happy to have found and tried this spot, will be back again. PS: You can bring your own wine, with a very reasonable corkage fee

The Rush Hour is a fantastic place if it's to grab a bite to eat or to go with your wife or loved one to enjoy a more formal meal.They have a fantastic menu but I would suggest that you don't miss trying the streaks with mushroom gravy. The service, the taste and the price goes beyond 100 percent

Absolutely amazing cuisine! The ambiance of this restaurant is PERFECT for a date. It is quiet, relaxing with extremely attentive staff (but not overwhelmingly so). We tried the calamari, the shrimp, the spicy chorizo, and the mussels as appetizers and they were all so freaking delicious! Then, we all got a variety of dishes but what I can tell you is they cook their red meat to perfection and offer risotto as a side!! It was so good. A must-go!!

Food is okay..atmosphere very challenging if there trying to upscale this restaurant they need to restrict parties especially with very noisy kids running around screaming for two hours .i was recommended this place from a friend we drove all the way from Oakville to eat here for my mother's 83 birthday with so many great places up in Mississauga and oakville we decided to come and visit rush hour I should have left in the first 2min of sitting down completely ruined my day.

Little gem of the town. I'm planning to try all their food eventually. I had the seafood linguine with some appetizers. Tried little bit of meat (i.e. steaks) from everybody I went with. Theyre all delicious. Very friendly staff.

I am forever glad to live in a city where a place like Rush Hour can exist. It's a stalwart of the Portugese community, a proud heir to the traditions of food, service, and hospitality in the 'city of neighbourhoods'. The menu is concise, caring, and faithful to the roots of the Portugese gastronomy. The service is impeccable and warm. Until recently, during the tenure of artisinal $16 cocktails, Rush Hour had a cocktail on their menu called 'U sexy thang'. That should tell you all you need to know.
