Appreciated the attentive server, however, the food was disappointing. The oil they used was very old so the fish and chips did not sit well in the stomach afterwards, and the onion rings were two different colours (some were dark brown and some were beige) - I’m surprised they served them looking like that. Would only go back for the drinks, as the beer was fresh and they offer a few good deals/specials on them.

Thank you for a great night, Trivia was the perfect evening and just what me and my friends were looking for! Questions were great and the vibe was perfect. Food was delicious and was a great bonus that my friend who is celiac could have a range to pick from which is usually quite difficult. Team were so friendly and helpful, so thank you again and will definitely will be back!

Went for a random brunch while in the area!

Received a very substandard shakshuka with no real toppings and a random bread, and a really bad tasting iced mocha.

Also the waitress came across as polite, but quite inattentive.

Maybe I ordered wrong and the other brunch items are passable? I wouldn't want to risk it though.

I went here because they serve an authentic English style breakfast and boy was I not disappointed! The food was really amazing with both white and black blood pudding made with oats and pork. My plate came with bangers, bacon, fried bread, baked beans, sauteed mushrooms, tomato plus two eggs and hash browns.

It is hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. How big kudos to the chefs for keeping this sort of food alive and to the servers who did such a great job taking care of me.

Food was ok. We we're looking forward to trying a particular dish. We weren't disappointed just not impressed.
Service was very poor. When we went inside to get a seat they asked insode or outside seating. When we said inside we were met with a hesitant response. So we reluctantly sat outside. We waited close to 40mins for our food. I asked for a toasted sandwich for my toddler and was told No they couldn't for another hour??? The lady who served us wasn't pleasant and seemed almost frustrated or disinterested. She brought us water then proceeded to spray cleaning product to clean our table which should have been done prior no? No one came outside to see if we wanted anything else or to pay are bill. We tried it but won't be back.

Good little brunch spot, I had the Benny and with a Cesar go well together, she had the Breakfast sandwich and a Mimosa. I don't know what they put on the home fries but they're excellent

Stopped by late on a Monday. Server was lovely and food tasted like home! Also easy for celiacs to eat.

Food is awesome but service is lacking, they need at least one more person working because it's hard to get the one servers attention upon arrival and sometimes it's met with attitude. The fish and chips substituting for their Caesar salad is my go-to -- love it every time!

! Celiac disease friendly !

So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

I liked the chocolate milkshake, burgers & clubs. I did not enjoy the breakfast plates.
I like the restaurant ambiance & aesthetics.

Veggie fry up is available with tofu scramble, a chickpea patty, mushrooms, grilled tomato, baked beans, toast and the most delicious homefries 😋 Would like to give 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Food is always delicious here - brunch and dinner! Kids menu is great (+ they have cute kid friendly cups, colouring sheets and board games!). 1/2 price spritz on Sundays too!!

Amanda Poxon

Food was mediocre (at best).
Ignore the photos of fluffy stack of pancakes, yours will be flat and average.
$4 for a small cup of drip coffee is a huge rip off. Starbucks is cheaper than that.
Nice vibe and staff. Check it out if you love dive bar vibe with upscale price tag.
