We visited the theater several times for JFL42 and absolutely loved the venue! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (with a couple of exceptions). The theatre has a lot of character and it really feels like you're not indoors. The seats are fairly comfortable as well.

The Elgin is an iconic institution located in downtown Toronto. It hosts various events from live theatre, music, to film. Visited it to see a TIFF flick and had a great time. Seats are spacious, plenty of leg room. There is a smell of fresh hipster musk and nostalgia upon entering the main theatre. The decor is classic North American urban 20th century grand theatre, similar to the greats in Detroit. Had a great experience and looking forward to going again.

Best experience at any theatre in Toronto. We had tickets that turned out to be much higher up than expected. The wonderful gentleman seating us said follow me & he took us to four unsold seats near the stage. Fabulous seats- so very kind & thoughtful of him. It wasnt necessary just a wonderful kind gesture on his part!

Beautiful Theatre! Old world charm. Seats have some leg room! Nice bolsters for the kids. Pleasant ushers. Seating numbering system could be a bit better (like on the upper part of the back of the seat - location on arm lends it to being confusing (which side/seat does it pertain to?). Even the usher came back over to ensure he'd put us in the right seats.
