Service was good, but they seemed short staffed the server was excellent but had too many tables. Food also came out a bit slow, but the quality was worth the wait. Delicious food. Usually it's a bit faster, but overall excellent.

Fantastic food - I had the lobster pasta and my partner had the short ribs. Incredible atmosphere and service. Will definitely be going back.

We made an early reservation because of a show we were going to. This meant that we were there during Happy Hour, so extra value. We chose several appetizers from the menu, all of which had lovely flavor profiles. In particular, the Brussel sprouts and oyster mushrooms were wonderful. The wedge salad was extremely generous and the Quattro formaggio pizza was excellent. Would definitely return!

Great spot, ambiance, food, decor. Loved the open doors to Queen Street. Our waiter Hubert (Hue) was fantastic! He had a refreshing European flare in how he looked after us. Will be back for sure!

It was my first time dining here and I loved it! The food was great, and I especially loved the Tuscan Kale Caesar salad.

We visited after a long day traveling and greeted very warmly by the staff. As soon as we sat down a member of staff brought some water and this was topped up throughout our visit with out any prompting. We both had the burger and fries and throughly enjoyed it. The fries were lovely and crispy and the burger was delicious. We shared a bottle of chardonnay which was very good. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the decor is very quirky. Would definitely visit again as we throughly enjoyed our evening.

Came for the Thursday special $29 steak frites and it did not disappoint! We didn’t have a reservation but luckily, there was a table on the patio available right away. It was also still happy hour (until 7pm) so we were able to also grab a plate of calamari and brussel sprouts.

The food was delicious and I was impressed by the flavours of the Brussels sprouts the most! It was so good we ended up getting a second order of it 😅

The steak was cooked perfectly. For the Thursday special, it is 6oz vs. their regular 10oz and it was still so filling! The portion of fries was a lot but they were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside sprinkled with some parm. This special was definitely worth getting!

We had an early supper here so took advantage of some happy hour drinks and snacks plus the regular menu. Ambiance is first rate. Very comfortable and relatively quiet. Cocktails delicious and not overdone. Calamari was some of the best we have ever had and the burger juicy and charbroiled. Will definitely call this one of our regular places

Everything about The Good Son was fabulous. We were early to our reservation but they said it was no problem at all. The servers were quite friendly. We ordered the Carnivora Pizza and The Good Son Burger, and they were both unbelievably delicious. The pizza was not thick and not overly thin, with the right balance of cheese and meat. The burger was incredibly juicy with one of the best fries I've had. The fries were a lot like McDonald's fries, but crispier and more golden lol. The restaurant's vibes and ambiance were so unique. There are old and antique clocks and pictures all over the walls which makes you feel like you're in a Harry Potter movie. Cannot recommend this place enough! :)

Food was excellent as always! Our server was either having a very bad day or is very burnt out. She was perfunctory, and inattentive, except for constantly refilling our water glasses while unapologetically leaning across my food. I handed her the drink menu after she had removed the side plates for my co-diners. She muttered she needed to take my side plate first. When I politely reminded her that I needed my side plate for my pizza, she actually rolled her eyes. Walked away wordlessly. When our food was served, she cruised by muttering, how is everything or something like that and then continued walking without stopping to hear any response. I was dining with two experienced servers from another city, and it was an embarrassing example of service in Toronto, which is usually excellent. I still tipped her 18%. Maybe she was just having a hard day.
