Food was mediocre.Service was indifferent. Wines are bottom shelf. Website has not been updated in obviously a very long time. Menu prices, serving sizes, brands offered are mostly inaccurate. This place has potential definitely for winter “cozy”. CP24 not the most entertaining choice on the television screens.

Good for private parties. Homey atmosphere. Jane subway station, Toronto. Posted 2024 Dec 5.

Fish and Chips were excellent. We ordered the extra piece of fish it was not necessary. However, the Cottage Pie skimped on every ingredient barely covered the entre dish a child's serving

Fish and chips was lacking flavour. Service was not good. Never checked in on me, only to see the plate was barely eaten. Asked me if I wanted to take it with me. Politely declined

Great all around, from the food to the outdoor seating. The staff was great. Fries were super salty tho and too much for my palette but otherwise left feeling very A+'d.

Parking: We actually walked there, so park wherever.

We were at the restaurant once for take out for my daughter and then then we decided to end our evening , on Sunday at the Ukrainian festival. My daughters love the chicken fingers and fries there and the portions and price are always great, so we went ther!
My 2 daughter and their cousin all order chicken fingers and fries, the meal comes and one of my daughters say to me and show me 2 chicken fingers that would kind of make up one. I nicely tried to tell and explain this to the waiter and be seemed annoyed with me telling him this. I understand it was a busy weekend with the festival going on, but I was really taking it back and then asked him would you not have spoken up and he said no I actually wouldn’t have. With the cost of everything now, I don’t think I was in the wrong for expressing this, but we felt very in the wrong for doing this . You did later bring one more chicken finger for my daughter, but never came back to check on us and we were wanting more water and we just let it go. Unfortunately, the only way to show him the way he treated us was to leave a very minimal tip and that’s not like us, but it was the only way to show that you can’t talk to customers like that.
We live in the neighbourhood and we’ve popped in from time to time to pick up chicken fingers and fries for our kids and we’ve never experienced. Anyone treat us like that and like I said before the portions were always great. I do realize it as a kids menu, but I looking at the photos here I hope you can understand why we spoke up, I just felt need to put in a review. We were there for takeout Friday evening, and everyone is lovely to us

Strange Fish tacos. Essentially, just a frozen fish stick on a tortilla with some slaw and bland aoli. Extra strange, because they do have good pub style fish and chips here. Otherwise, decent place.

My husband and I have stopped at A Dark Horse a couple times, each time being better than the last. Their food is amazing - simple pub dishes, but made well. Service is incredible. We will be coming back :)

Gotten a bit pricey, and the service can be hit or miss (often busy, so often slow). But I'll keep coming back! Love the neighbourhood pub atmosphere, and the food is always good.

Casual Saturday afternoon, enjoyed time on the patio. Staff were courteous and knowledgeable. Crowd was good, also enjoying the fantastic weather. Definitely worth a return.
