Such a great spot for a nice family dinner. Food was incredible, service was great, loved the decor/design of the place. It was a little expensive but worth it for the experience and quality of the food. Would happily go back for another falafel app and risotto!

We visited for lunch over the weekend. The decor was nice, and the restaurant was quiet.

We were seated by the window, and the host brought our menus and poured water for us. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended.

We ordered the Full English, a burger with chips, and fish and chips. The burger was average, and my friend thought the Full English was just okay. However, the $30 fish and chips were disappointing—overly salty, with fish that lacked freshness and had a gritty texture. It seemed like it had been repeatedly thawed and refrozen.

No one checked on us after our meals, and our glasses were only refilled after we settled the bill and left.

Overall, the food was subpar, the service was lacking, and it felt overpriced.

Had a fantastic dinner here the other day. Amazing food, drinks and service. They had an interesting and elevated take on British classics. Highly recommend the salmon and its caviar - it was exceptional

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance with well-thought-out decor. The food was excellent, we had the cornish pasties, fish and chips, steak, burger, and cottage pie. All were well-prepared and highly enjoyable!

I recently dined at Dorset at The Well in Toronto with friends, and it was amazing! I had the Rabbit Cavatelli as my main dish, which was delicious. The rabbit was tender with fresh cavatelli, sweet butternut squash and pumpkin seeds. The portion size was perfect.

The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. The cozy atmosphere made our night even better. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! Highly recommend!

Love love love this place!!! Think refined upscale British Pub. This place is gorgeous!!! Not sure many people know about it yet because it was very quiet when we went for brunch. It looks small from the outside but it is massive! The decor is beyond stunning! 2 stories with a terrace dining room and seperate Private event space. Would be amazing for corporate events! Brunch was fabulous!

Great date night out. We had reservations and sat in the bar area in the most wonderfully comfortable chairs, meant for long lounging. Stunning decor in the bar area and a completely different equally gorgeous upstairs dining room. The food was spectacular. The service was very attentive and to the point; but our server locked warmth. We didn’t see a smile on his face until he was surprised by our generous gratuity. He has the raw material to be very good and earn a very decent income, but he needs to learn to put a happy face on.

We will definitely be returning. This might be a new go to for me, I just hope for a little more warmth from our server next time.

We had a fantastic evening, wonderful service by everyone but shout out to Andrew who took the time to explain in detail our wonderful dishes. We loved the (complimentary) soda bread with salted butter to start. The pheasant was spectacular, fish and chips so crispy and served with a curry dipping sauce. Highly recommend this place??

The pork croquettes, the smelts, the salmon, the sweet corn risotto paired with a fresh beer and a glass of côtes du rhône. This was what Andrea helps us to choose and was delicious, Thank you Andrea! We will go again for sure now to taste the Sunday’s Brunch!

Came here yesterday and was shocked how badly our food was prepared. The hake for the fish n chips was bland and dry and not seasoned at all, the Halibut was very dry and overcooked, cottage pie again was bland, rabbit cavatelli was ok. Everything did look great when presented, issue was definitely the taste. Nothing was worth what we paid for and seemed like we could get better food at any other pub. Also, at 9pm when we were there, the lights were so bright inside, felt like a mall or cafeteria not a restaurant.
