“On Saturday, November 23, 2024 me and my triplet sisters hosted our 50th Decades Themed Birthday Party!!! We had a blast! The Kingston House Restaurant is a hidden treasure. The event space downstairs was the perfect venue exactly what we were looking for. The owner Chris and his staff were very generous and accommodating which helped us create an unforgettable and memorable experience for us and our guests. The food and service were excellent and they let us decorate! If you are looking for a restaurant that feels like family with a warm and friendly atmosphere then this is the place for you!“

“Amazing burger! It was way better than I expected“

“Great Restaurant. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The Live Jazz Brunch is a great experience“

“A good friend from Montreal, was in Toronto today, and an acquaintance who we haven't seen for some time, and Bill and I met for a late lunch at the 'House on Parliament', (454 Parliament St. - west side of the St., south of Carlton St.). Someone recommended to us and it was our first visit there. The staff were friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was great, the food (great menu) was delicious, and the prices were fair! I had the 'Vodka cured smoked salmon' with fresh basil cream cheese, capers, cucumber, red onion confit and crostini. Very fresh and very tasty. The others also really enjoyed their meal too. If you're ever in the vicinity, I would highly recommend going there. Check out their page on fb to see some great pics of the food they serve. We will definitely go back there...“

“I love this place, and try to go every time I'm in Toronto. They keep an excellent and creative list of craft beers that are locally sourced. The staff are great, as is the food and the overall vibe.“

“Our party (couple and 5 y.o. daughter) enjoyed delicious food and drinks, and friendly service. Would return if ever back in the area!“

“Amazing place for dinner and drinks! Authentic food and great atmosphere!“

“Our party of eight people were fully satisfied with our experience at the Bramble.
The menu is relatively simple with choices for everybody’s tastes. The staff is also very good and our waiter in particular was quite efficient. He served my Long Island iced tea in a pint size glass, and it was delicious.
Everything you see in the pictures was a real feast, well executed, and nicely presented.
Undoubtedly, we highly recommend this establishment and will come back for sure.
Thank you.“

“Amazing drinks and food! The atmosphere and food were amazing. Spa day tomorrow!“

“Super appreciative of the awesome and very kind bartender making sure I (30F) felt comfortable with a situation with one of the other patrons. He followed me out to the street to make sure I was ok! Aside from that, awesome service, fair prices, and great atmosphere! Cool spot to hit after a Blue Jays game.“

“If you are trying to break into the Danforth stretch of pubs/ restaurants/ storefronts, the Edmund Burke is a good place to start. It has great pub setting , and is a lovely casual dim light interior for hanging out witj friends or meeting new people. The server I had is friendly with great vibe and energy.
Really enjoyed the chicken schnitzel with buttered spaetzle!! The spaetzle was very taste.. little dumplings topped with butter and fried up to have some good crisp. The chicken schnitzel was proper crispy, but not dry. It was tasty and seasoned well. There is a back patio and a front sidewalk patio-- great for people watching👀“

“Family friendly atmosphere with fantastic attentive service. Highly recommend and I will be going again soon.“

“Excellent food and drinks, had the BLAT and absolutely loved it. 🥑Cocktails are fantastic. 🍹Super friendly service! 😁Highly recommend.“

“Our family enjoyed the Sunday roast beef dinner to celebrate Easter yesterday.“

“Visiting from Denver, CO. Found this place by chance and it is excellent. Chris is friendly and more importantly knowledgeable about the local beers he serves. We're only in town for a few days but we will stop in every night that were in Toronto.“

“Perfect venue to keep the British theme before the Sarah Millican show at Meridan Hall .. Service was great ... Food was delicious... we had the proper Fish & Chips, Cesar Salad, Squash Risotto, Curried Chicken and Cauliflower Pie. The restaurant is tight but we didn't feel crowded. It was Friday .. dinner time ... so yes we expected it to be buzzing but we had trouble having a conversation due to the noise level. Thanks for a great experience... we will totally recommend The Rabbit Hole to friends.“

“Great food and staff, good music and several screens to watch games 5 star“

“Highly recommend. Service was great. Casual fun. The place is Clean and the food are tasty and fresh.“

“Took my mom here for Saturday brunch and we were both really impressed. The Breakfast Burger and Avocado Toast were delicious, fresh, flavourful, and well portioned. I’d be remiss not to mention their impressive craft beer list on tap. I could see myself returning for a few pints one evening soon. Friendly service and a relaxed, neighbourhood vibe made it a great start to the weekend.“

“Great service , great Patio , good beer“

“Brilliant pub and food!!!!“

“The Thai red curry was just amazing, reminds me of my trip to Chiang Mai. The seafood pasta with mussels was also great. All made in house. Rare find in area. Great craft beer. A hidden gem from all the places in the area that serve basic chicken wings and deep fried offerings. The entrance is not desirable, but was told the entrance is being renovated.“

“I loved this pub so much I got married here! We had a small ceremony (20 people) on the dreamy back patio and a medium reception (55 people) on the upper floors. Steve and his staff were a dream to work with. I won't get into all the details but it was like working with a proper wedding planning team with the benefit (and cost!) of a casual, cozy pub wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the staff.“

“The atmosphere is dark and cozy. The décor instantly transports you to a vintage English pub. The food was 10/10 with each bite being better than the last. If you’re looking for delicious food with great vibes definitely check them out. I’d highly recommend the tomato toast, chicken wings, and the basque cheese cake.“

“I love this restaurant and I’ll definitely be back!
The service is incredible, and the food is very delicious.
As a Ukrainian, I was delighted to enjoy such tasty syrnyky. Highly recommend! Very comfy and nice. Дякую за смачні страви!“

“My friend and I visited for dinner and drinks, and the service from start to finish was impeccable.

Every staff member was attentive from the moment we stepped foot in the bar. Our glasses were never empty, we never had to wait to place orders, everyone took their job seriously but were always friendly and courteous. Plus: The food was great, and the location is a 30 secondwalk from Rosedale station. I would definitely come back and recommend others to pay a visit.“

“Axis doesn't bill itself as one of the new trendy dive bars, nor does it attempt to be your local Irish pub... But it somehow does both really well.

There are items of food here that are quite remarkable and I mean that in the best of ways.. one of the best seafood pastas in the city, both in terms of value ample portion size and actual seafood.

Drink prices are quite Fair and the locals are friendly enough that if there isn't a table for you solos out there, you're more than welcome to join one“

“The Paddock has been around for decades and is one of the best dive bars. It was slated to close after Covid but the landlord let them sign a new lease. They made it bigger by knocking out a wall at the back and that is where they have renovated the place to put a stage there for the live music. Prices are not bad, staff are great and the place has a really good feel to it. Glad to see it is staying around for a while longer“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Local 1794 last night with friends. We got seats st the bar table, alot was reserved and got packed closer to dinner time 630-7. So recommend to call ahead. We got Heineken beers, smoked chicken wings, Ibirico pork oven wood pizza, battered calamari and Poutine that was shared amongst us. Food was amazing! Staff are friendly, interior is beautiful and restaurant is clean. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Had lunch here with my boyfriend and we both loved it! It has a cozy little patio with an impressive selection of over 50 beers—something for everyone, even if you’re not huge into beer (like me). I had the halloumi schnitzel sandwich, which was great, and the poutine was spot-on. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“I contracted food poisoning from the meditteran salad...contacted the restaurant privately..no response...adding insult to gastric injury. cannot recommend in the slightest“

“We came tonight for our friends 50 th birthday party! We all had an amazing time! The food and service was amazing:)Thank you to our server Dee! (The receipt says Dinh-‘em) Your service was amazing!“

“Dan was a great server when we were there recently for breakfast. All our food was exactly as we ordered it and was delicious. Highly recommend“

“There's always great beer options here, so many tasty options and caters to all sorts of palates. The food, oh my goodness the food is SO good. Anytime we go to Indie Alehouse, it is a good and happy night. I don't think we've ever had poor service here, whatever you guys are doing, please keep doing it!“

“Maurizio is the best ❤️ everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing! 😊“

“Great beer selection and a fantastic breakfast sandwich!“

“It was very good food and great customer service I recommend The Fox to anybody!!“
