We had a very pleasant breakfast with good variety of choices. Food and service were good and price very acceptable for quality you get.
We noticed that the portions have been reduced which is a shame but not a deal breaker as the quality of the food is still consistently good. Excellent service.
I have always enjoyed food here. Waitress was super friendly but a bit slow on taking drinks order. I customized my meal but it came wrong and fries weren't hot enough. After 10 mins or more I went to find waitress as she didn't stop by table to say my order was wrong and fries weren't fresh enough. She dealt promptly but my meal came out and I waited another 5 mins to get someone's attention to get cutlery. My friends had long finished their meal. We joked about leaving as no one came by w bill. Sad to have this experience in a restaurant I have had good experiences in and trust
Amazing spot!

It's basically a multi-level (3) sports bar with a patio. The drink menu needs a refresh, it's quite mediocre & unimaginative for palette with a worldview. Highlight was the customer service... but it would be nice to get a thank you for leaving a sizeable tip (its a simple expected courtesy).
Crowd is mid 30 to 50. The lamb burger was good, but it needs to be paired with a better cheese, like a bocacchini. Maybe shredded mini tomatoes. The food menu also needs a refresh. It's generic quick for reserved tongues.
Chicken bites are nice there. Will go again because i enjoyed it. Stairs are steep though...

Quite disappointed with the food. I ordered a burger and asked for it medium-rare, but the waitress told us it only comes well-done, no options, no discussion. The burger ended up very dry and lacking in flavor.
I was also unhappy about being automatically charged a 20% tip just because we were a table of eight. I know it’s a common practice, but given the quality of both the food and the service, it really didn’t feel deserved.

Come for the rugby and atmosphere, but be warned that food quality and consistency has gone down in the last couple of years. Shrinkflation affects us all, but potatoes served raw, eggs not done as ordered, etc., are fully within their control. Service is normally excellent, but one time had to wait 30 minutes just to bill out and pay. Even got kicked out of the usual weekend reservation we had set for rugby + baseball for no reason.
Love the closed roof top patio! It’s perfect for those cold toronto days where you still want to enjoy the sun.
I will definitely be back!
The fish and chips wasn't very good; lots of batter not enough fish. My partner liked the soulvaki. The atmosphere was nice although the music was a bit loud and so hard to carry out a conversation.

I’ve visited this spot several times, and it’s become one of my go-to places. It’s always bustling with a lively, vibrant atmosphere. The staff are friendly, the food is reliably good, and the drink selection is decent for the price. I especially love the generous portions of edamame and fries. Street parking can be a bit tricky, but there are a couple of public lots nearby, so it’s manageable. Overall, a great place to hang out and enjoy good vibes.

Solid bar food, but nothing super special! Service was great and the upstairs area of the restaraunt was perfect to sit in! The dessert was AMAZING though.
