    The building has two entrances: one to the coffee and sandwich shop and the other to the restaurant. Same owners. The pub is an excellent English pub. Nice decor and very friendly service and patrons. Full bar: liquor, beer and wine. Interesting menu. The items we ordered were prepared so well and tasted so good. Some of the best English food we have had. The Yorkshire pudding was cooked to perfection. The fish and chips was lightly battered and very crispy with juicy fish inside. The sticky toffee was well prepared and so tasty!

    I have updated my review. Upon returning this year. Within a minute we were seated and offered drinks. Within 5 miniatures we had our order in. Dishes look to have descent servings. The place is clean. There is live music on some nights also, along with daily specials.

    They are trying hard to become the local pub, with live entertainment etc, however a good eatery is what we look for. Cleanliness is important to us and windows were filthy as was the rest of the place it needs a complete new decor even though it's only a year old. The food was presented beautifully and fresh Veggies were great. Bud had hamburger that was super bland, and had to salt and pepper it. Fries were really good, however menu choices were very lacking with not a sandwich on it except for the kids, it would have been quite easy to offer a hot Hamburg sandwich. No steaks or steak sandwiches yet they had steak and kidney pie. Being British and I wasn't impressed all in all I don't think it will become one of our regulars

    Poutine - homemade gravy, ample cheese curds, fresh cut fries.

    Absolutely amazing food. Top notch service. Every bite was perfect... The poutine was spectacular. Top 5 of our lives.

Called to make a dinner reservation at 2pm on a random Tuesday, the mature lady sounded really stressed trying to "squeeze in" our reservation for 4 +high chair for baby and asked us to arrive earlier, so we came early before 5. They apparently are always full every night, so you need to make reservations sooner than later. Wasn't a great first impression along with an odd looking website. But when we arrived after a hard down pour we came to a third full restaurant inside at 4:30pm! It was mainly seniors and my family but it looked way better than their website and the waitresses were very sweet. All tables had reserved signs (so she wasn't kidding earlier) and service was fast at that time. Food came very fast, fresh and hot so my MIL had nothing to complain about! Didn't have room to try dessert but after hearing coffee wasn't fresh ground drip but the syrup machine kind we grabbed the bill. Menu is a bit all over the place, can't go wrong with their sandwiches burgers and fish & chips. Would go back to chill on patio next time

The menu leans fusion, so there was a lot to try, and overall it felt like a fun place to share plates and compare notes with the table. The cocktails definitely stood out for being stronger than the usual lighter, sweeter drinks you get elsewhere, and the smoky cinnamon one was probably the most memorable. For appetizers, the beef tartare with bone marrow was the clear winner for me. The tartare tasted bright and fresh, and the marrow was rich without feeling greasy. The mussels were also enjoyable, mostly because they were fresh and sat in a creamy broth that made the whole dish feel comforting. We also tried the octopus with pumpkin purée, which had a nice chewy texture and a lovely sweetness from the purée, although a slight charred taste came through more than I personally wanted. For mains, a few dishes landed better than others. The ribeye with chimichurri was one of the stronger choices, tender, properly cooked medium rare, and especially good with that sharp, herbaceous sauce. The ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. The salmon in puff pastry was enjoyable enough that I would order it again, even though the pastry itself was a little softer than I expected. The udon carbonara was decent and comforting, but probably not the most memorable thing on the table, and the signature chicken had flavorful meat even if the rice leaned a bit too soft for me. One small complaint I kept coming back to was the bread, which tasted more charred than I like. Still, Wilcox feels like a nice little spot for a relaxed dinner with drinks, especially if you go in the mood to share, explore the menu, and order a few of the stronger dishes.

    Beautiful spot to have Gastro food and a few drinks.

The tartar sauce and pickled cabbage were delicious along with the mushy peas. My girlfriend had the Cobb salad with chicken which was passable but not special.

I was immediately impressed when I walked inside, as the place has plenty of cool decor and boasts a dimly-lit feel that I find irresistible. As I scanned the menu, I was eventually drawn to the Bramble Burger ("House ground, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Bramble berry relish"), which comes with fries. And I feel like I made the right choice because it's one tasty hamburger. I wouldn't rank it with the best in the city, but all the components were right on target and I enjoyed the heck out of it. The fries were great, too. I don't know why it took us so long to check out Bramble Gastropub, but I think it's safe to say we'll be returning sometime very soon.

    I loved my experience in coming here!…read more The space was lovely, really old school vibe. They had a small bar inside, with seating and a beautiful patio outside. Its in the back of a lane, so its not off the street. Yet, Bracebridge is on the small side so, its pretty easy to find. I believe they also play some local bands. I'd say more about the bathroom being small and them having an ecclectic collection of photos and the like. Yet I do not fully recall all about the ins and outs. Its kinda vague for me. I find its always nice to look at that kinda thing. Makes me have an appreciation for not being the only Collector of the odd. The person that was working the day we went, absolutely phenomenal. He was on the cute side, super friendly and accomodating. I ordered the plant based burger with their in season, warmed beet and chard salad, yet what appeared on my dish was not plant based. I'm not entirely fussy about the juices of the beef or anything. However when I asked him about it, he promptly was willing to have the whole dish redone. He seemed rather appaled that he had made a mistake like that, given he was plant based himself. Perhaps it was me not being assertive enough, or perhaps something was missed when the order was taken, either way immediate action was taken to quickly rectify the situation. And it was awesome! This to me, bespeaks of going above and beyond, which is something I resonate strongly with because I am that type of way myself. Would definitely return.
