Our server ran a marathon to help us have a great time. He recommended great food and gave his honest opinions about our order. However, my complaint is not with him. Do not sit upstairs - whoever is the manager put only one server on the top floor - how is a server supposed to serve an entire floor on their own? Our appetizer came at the same time as our meal, and as we were in a hurry to catch a show at Massey Hall, we ate our food and left pretty much the entire plate of nachos. Which restaurant serves the nachos appetizer at the same time as the meal? What a waste of food and money. I do not blame the server. I blame the management, the kitchen the manager...better planning for better service upstairs is required. Especially if you're in a hurry for a Massey Hall Show - getting there at 6:00pm on a Friday is not early enough for an 8:00pm show. I wanted a NEW menu item which had great reviews, but couldn't get it because they were missing a vital ingredient. The one in the title - avocado. I am not one to usually complain, but this was a very disappointing waste of money by leaving food on our plate - going to a show is not the time to take a doggy bag. Now, I will say, we had the butter chicken and the fish tacos and the food was superb! Best butter chicken I've had in a long time. And our server needs a medal for how he served us with a smile while running to serve an entire floor on his own. Advice? If in a hurry, sit downstairs.

Our server was excellent, and did everything right. He was super friendly. We were seated upstairs in the back. It looked like an unused area and was not properly finished but the place was really busy. It was noisy as there was a Christmas party going on. We weren't seated right beside the group so it wasn't too bad. I ordered a glass of house red wine, which was good. The person with me ordered a non alcoholic cocktail and she was impressed with the selection of non alcoholic drinks. The food was very disappointing. We both ordered the fish and chips. The coleslaw was delicious - not enough of it. The fries were good but the fish was dry and overcooked. It looked like it was leftover from lunch and we needed to use knives to cut through it. We didn't send it back but did give the feedback to our server at the end. He apologized and told us that they tend to overcook it. We would return but would not order the fish again.

Came here with a few friends for drinks and although the starters were just ok, the drinks were great and the service was lovely! We had Leo as our server so stunningly gorgeous, looks aside Leo was very prompt, organized and friendly. We obviously had to be generous with our tip. definitely come for some casual drinks:)

Firkin on Yonge is a lively British-style pub in downtown Toronto that’s perfect for casual hangouts and group gatherings. The menu offers classic comfort food like fish and chips, burgers, and hearty sandwiches, along with cold beer and sweet cocktails. It’s right across from the Eaton Centre, making it a great spot to relax after shopping or sightseeing.
The vibe is fun and laid-back, with cozy seating and cool British-themed decor. The staff are friendly, and the service is quick—even during busy nights.

Been here couple of times, during a blue jays game. Atmosphere and service is great, food this time was a bit to be desired. Ordered fish and chips, looked very tasty and probably would have been if it was hot. Nothing good about cold fries. Will be back as I like the spot, but maybe just for drinks.

We were a group of four girls excited for a nice dinner out before a concert. Unfortunately this restaurant missed the mark in so many ways. Things started off oddly when we ordered a bottle of wine from the menu, and the server brought us a completely different bottle, one that wasn't even listed. When we questioned it, she brushed us off, saying it was “all they had.” It honestly felt like they were hoping we wouldn't notice. When we asked for an explanation and she would get it resolved , our server started running food for other tables and sent someone else over instead. We're not picky, and we still drank it, but it was definitely not what we ordered. The nachos were the highlight of the night! They were actually really good. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. Our mains were disappointing across the board. A couple of us made small modifications to our meals, like asking for crispy fries, but what we got were rock solid and barely edible. The coleslaw that came with the fish and chips was literally one tiny spoonful, and the truffle fries tasted just like regular fries. It honestly felt like something was wrong with every single plate. I could go on about what was wrong but it's not worth it. Service didn't improve either. Our server seemed disinterested and we felt neglected most of the night.
