Good food at reasonable price. Staff are very nice. NOT handicap enabled. Top floor extremely noisy.

Vegetarian options: Limited, Vegetarian fajitas very good.

They need to fix their leaky heated patio.
Great spot except for the table we sat at had leaking water dripping from the tarp/mouldy wood above.

It dropped so much that it caused multiple holes to form on tissues we left on the table to prevent it from splashing on our food and drinks.

Be prepared for the mandatory 20% tip if you're in a group. So even if the service is terrible (which it is) you're still paying 20 freaking percent!

Hemingway's in Yorkville exceeded expectations with its delicious US Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was tender and flavorful, paired with traditional sides like creamy mashed potatoes, savory stuffing, and tangy cranberry sauce. The rooftop ambiance and attentive service made the meal even more enjoyable. Perfect for a festive celebration!

Have been going to Hemingway's on and off for 20+ years. Wonderful service, decent food and inexpensive drinks. Amazing rooftop patio - glorious Toronto summers, and heated in the winter.

Everything you’d expect from a pub that has maintained a price of $20 for entrees, while every other place in Yorkville charges $50 for an appetizer. Good place for drinks and when you have had a few more than you should the food is just fine.

This place was very busy and lively. Ordered Long Island iced tea for myself - perfectly mixed and refreshing.
As for the food, it was average.However, faster service would have improved the experience.
Overall - 4/5

To give context: a group of 10 of us were there for a birthday party. They were slammed and I want to be lenient but it’s kinda hard to

I ordered nachos and specifically asked for them to be brought to the table before all of the other food and with chicken

-they came out 30 minutes later with no chicken with all of the other food and were cold.

-even if they were warm they were the saddest mot bland and underwhelming nachos I’ve had. Honestly you can make better ones at home

-I would complain to the waitress but she never came around to check in on us after and our waters for the table were never refilled

-one of the people in our party had their food come out 10 minutes after everyone else and it was also cold

-I asked for the bill 2 separate times because I had to leave early for work and I ended up having to have someone pay for me at the table and I paid them back later

I normally would give a place a second try but it was such a bad experience I am not going to and I would tell others to find a better option and pass on this one

Perfect place to watch rugby. Friendly and engaging staff. Prices were excellent. Serving sizes were generous (not overly). Variety of food choices were satisfying. We had a lamb plate and BBQ ribs special, they were delicious. Heated patio with lots of light. Our server was knowledgeable about the selection of wines.

Wheelchair accessibility: Many stairs. This place is not wheelchair accessible.

Oof. I LOVE quiz nights at Hemingways, Quiz Master Jess and her team are fantastic. I'd give them 5/5 stars. But Hemingways? Nope. I feel like every time the service gets worse and worse, and the last time was so bad that my friends and I are taking a loooong break from coming back. It took an HOUR for us to place our order; not get our food, place the order. I had to get up from the table and go speak with a server because I couldn't flag one down. It was busy, and I'm sure they're understaffed. When we finally got our food...part of the order was wrong! We explained the error and they took ALL the food away, including the one that was fine! More waiting. We finally got our food. It was fine, standard pub food. We asked for our bills ahead of the end of the quiz to avoid the crowd. The bills were wrong! We had them correct them, paid, and then my friend pointed out the bills were STILL wrong and we'd been overcharged! So after an hour wait to order, getting the wrong food, waiting again...we got charged extra for the privilege. I'll follow the trivia team elsewhere because I won't go back otherwise!
