The food and atmosphere are good. The restaurant is busy so expect to wait. It's a fun place when the weather is nice out.

Hemingway's would have you believe that it is a traditional restaurant. However, the music and visual things tell you that it is a hip pub restaurant trying to ignore it's past. I had the lamb shank which is served with root vegetables and mash. The lamb shank was quite good but was paltry and small compared to that which I had in London pubs. The veggies were unidentifiable and were orange sticks that were crispy. The mash was average. This is a decent restaurant but is not outstanding or distinctive. read more

I've been to Hemingway's about three to four times with co-workers during lunch and once for drinks after work, and I have had an equally pleasant experience each time. Their rooftop patio has a fantastic atmosphere and feels very cozy. They have a nice retractable roof that can be used when it rains. I've tried their burger, their steak, and the jerk chicken wrap and enjoyed all of them very much. In my opinion, the food quality is on par and met my expectations for sure. The service has been fairly attentive here each time, and I never felt that the servers were overbearing or not adequately present. Apparently this place is a hot-spot for celebrities during TIFF. I will definitely return Hemingway's in the near future for drinks and food! read more

We came here in the extremely windy day. This bar had a cottage feel and many heat pipes at the rooftop patio! Having said that, drinks were just ok and their so-called legendary homemade New Zealand dessert (Pavlova) did not meet my expectation... read more

Hallelujah, Toronto patios are back open! With one of the best patios in the city, Hemmingway's was our first stop to enjoy a sunny spring day. This is the perfect place to order a tray of nachos and a pitcher of beer and sit outside to enjoy the sun while also staying warm from the ceiling heaters. I also very much appreciate the space they've added between the tables and the precautions that are taken to ensure guests feel safe. Great job Hemmingway's! read more

1 star for (somewhat?) unethical business conduct!!! Went here with a group of around 20 people (all separate bill), on a relatively quiet Monday night. The waitress gave us all our bills without asking (kinda pushing for us to leave?) even though we never made any mention that we were done. It was a Monday evening so the place wasn't even close to full as well. Whatever, not a big deal, however when we went to pay for our bills, she didn't give us the receipt (like all other restaurants/bars do) and we simply paid for the bill through the machine she gave us (didn't give us the receipt after as well unless we asked, i.e. she didn't ask if we wanted the receipt at any point). I thought my drink was a bit more expensive than the menu made it out to be, and although I know that large groups usually get automatically charged a tip, the waitress made no mention of this. So when i went to pay, the machine asked if I wanted to tip and I decided to err on the side of caution and tipped anyways. Afterwards I asked for the receipt and turns out we were already charged a tip. When i mentioned this to a buddy the waitress quietly mentioned it was a "service charge" to us and didn't bother telling anyone else about it read more

I give 3 stars based on the food, and 4 stars if you're just going for drinks. My friends and I shared the nachos to start - they were okay. They come with cheese, tomatoes, green onion, black olives, green peppers, jalapeños, with sides of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Nice that you don't have to pay extra for the guacamole. However, the tomatoes and green peppers were quite big pieces that most of the veggies were falling off the nachos and ended up on the plate. Two of us got the sweet potato and chickpea curry, which also comes with spinach, cauliflower and basmati rice. They offered to make it spicy which we agreed to but it wasn't that spicy. The problem was that the food was very hot temperature-wise. Even after we waited 10-15 minutes for the food to cool down, it was still extremely hot. Nice mix of flavours though. Our other friend had the fish tacos and said they were decent. They had the Leafs game on too so it's a good spot to catch a sports game if you're in the Yorkville area. read more

I've been here many times with friends. The atmosphere is always so good during the summer. We normally sit on the patio upstairs. It was pouring rain the last time I went but it was still very enjoyable on the patio when the roof was closed and we were able to hear the raindrops, which I found very nice. What I've ordered: 1. Beef sandwich: 7.5/10 this was pretty good but not great 2. Bruschetta with feta: 9/10. I loved this but I couldn't find it on the many when I went last week. 3. Chicken Pappardelle pasta: 5/10. I really didn't like this. I couldn't even tell what was in the pasta. It was too spicy and the flavored didn't complement each other at all to me. I think there may have been too many spices which overpowered the other parts of the dish such as the parts itself and the meat. I was struggling to finish. I don't recommend this dish. I'd like to try the fish tacos with fries as my friend recommended it to me when I complained about my chicken pappardelle pasta read more

Came in on a Wednesday night with my family. Got seated pretty quickly and the atmosphere was really nice. However, my server was all over the place. I get that it was busy but she for some reason wouldn't give me the water I ordered and completely messed up my friend's drink order. She just seemed super flustered and all over the place and it took her forever to bring us the bill. I ordered the chicken souvlaki which was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and very underseasoned, tzatziki sauce was flavourless and watery, rice was your standard minute rice, but the greek salad was fine. On the bright side though, I ate some of my friend's fries and they were very good, nice and crisp. Also, their brownie caramel cheesecake is really quite delicious. In sum: It's a nice place to go if you're looking for a good atmosphere with decent food, but don't get your hopes too high for service. read more

Large rooftop patio in yorkville with an extensive menu of decent food. There was plenty of space on the patio when I went on a Tuesday evening. They serve your typical bar/pub foods and have decent priced drinks. I ordered the sweet potato fries for $7 as a snack and the portion size was huge. It's definitely good for sharing with a group. The service was questionable and off-putting. They only gave us cutlery and napkins for 2 people, when there was 3 of us who ordered 3 different things. Also, our server randomly came and took away our water cups when they were empty, instead of asking us if we wanted a refill. She also prematurely asked if I wanted a take out box when I was clearly still working on my food. She also brought us our bills without us asking for them. It seemed as if we were being rushed to leave, when there were a lot of empty tables and no seating time limit. It's not even like we stayed there for a ridiculously long time - we were only there around 1.5 hours. read more

Hemingway's Restaurant - Sweet potato fries, Cajun fries, chicken wrap - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm currently sitting on the rooftop patio, the food, well, the food that came from what I ordered was great. The patio is fantastic, fried chicken very good and a reasonable portion. Here's where it gets bad, out of the orders I've made, the first beer took 20min to arrive, the server for the patio is barely coherent and the food orders have been only partially served. For example, I ordered a pitcher of beer for the table (no other orders from the group at this time) potato skins and an order of fried chicken, 25min later the only thing that arrived was the fried chicken. No interest or apology from the server. After that I ordered a Jager bomb for myself and one for my fiance, took a while but I got what I ordered. Two shots of Jager, two glasses and a full can of red bull. Perfect. About 15min later we ordered a round of the same for the table, 7 Jager and 2 red bull... Okay... The server complained and said that was more than enough when we asked. I could go on and on for the rest of the night about the bills screwed up and the disgusting auto gratuity but I won't. I also won't be back. This server needs a new career. Period. read more

I've been to Hemingway's a few times, and I've had great and not-so-good experience. My rating is probably closer to a 3.75. Generally the staff are polite and helpful. It can get quite busy on weekends/evenings - especially during the summer. It's has a great vibe and just perfect to hang out with friends. The food isn't bad at all, but I think I've mostly been here for drinks and late night bites. I did go for brunch recently, and it was good. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, with home fries on the side. Nothing too special, but it's nice to have a reliable/go-to place in the area. read more

A few of my co-workers often mention Hemmingway's as a favorite after-work haunt and I finally went there on a Sunday night for a co-worker's farewell get-together. There's a spacious patio on the top floor which would look really rad during the day. Decent drink, I enjoyed all my cocktails and mixers. My Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich did the trick and made my stomach happy but the Onion Rings my guilty pleasure were even more satisfying. And since I was in the mood, I also had the Caramel Brownie Cheesecake which was so rich and decadent that it strongly marked the end of my meal for that night. I'll definitely come back here for another special occasion :-) read more

Hemingway's is a fun, casual place that serves a decent drink without a lot of hassle. And the fact that they allow cigar smoking out on their heated patio upstairs was an extra bonus for my cigar loving friends the other night. It was Winter- yet the heaters kept us warm outside. Surprising given I am not ever warm outside. Service was the only draw back but we solved that issue by going inside and getting our own drinks. Think of it as your neighborhood pub but without the friendly service you might expect. read more

I'm the kind of person who will eat every last bite on my plate, even if it's just a garnish. So it's no small thing when I say that I left a good portion of my meal at Hemingway's uneaten. We arrived at around 11:30 to sample the joint's brunch menu. They had all the usual things but they also had something called a New Zealand Bacon & Egg Pie (bacon, eggs, grated onion and green peas, baked together in a savoury pie). I'm always down to try something different, so this was a no brainer. On the positive side, the home fries were relatively hot and crispy. But the pie... Oh, that pie. First of all (and worst of all), it wasn't hot. And not only wasn't it hot, it was *cold* in parts. I guess they had some leftover from yesterday and they just leave them at room temperature or something? The egg inside was overcooked to a degree that was shocking, really. It was easily the rubberiest egg I can recall eating. The "bacon" inside there was weird and tasteless, and the pie itself was nothing special. Far worse was this odd taste in there I couldn't quite put my finger on; it tasted like something had gone rotten in there, and it was the reason I stopped eating around halfway through. I would absolutely never return for the food, but the ambiance was nice and it would appear they have a lot of beer on tap. But that pie. My god, that thing will haunt my dreams in the weeks and months to come. read more

This place is a laid back pub surrounded by trendy bars in the fashionable Yorkville neighbourhood. It's sort of a refreshing change. The atmosphere is very nice. There are serveral sections to the pub, but the heart of it is the large rooftop patio. It's always buzzing with activity. The food is just your standard pub fair. Don't expect fine dining. You come here for the cold beer, and the atmosphere. read more

Went there because everywhere else was full. They seem to have a nice patio so we gave it a try. Unfortunately the food we got all were tasteless. The fries were okay but the main dishes the four of us got were not tasty. I ordered curry lamb, the curry was very watery that brushed off the curry taste too much. Then the steamed veggie that came with the curry had no taste, no salt on it either. The most disappointing thing is the rice in the curry were actually plain rice and wasn't spiced at all. If it's Indian type of curry then the rice should have been spiced. At the same time it's not Japanese or Thai curry style either because the kind of rice they chose wasn't the Asian type of rice. Serving time was extremely slow.Their patio is huge so I'd suggest if u do go, ask all you want at the beginning before they forgot about you read more

The only thing that is a positive for this place is that it is huge. There is a small patio out in front but a really big one upstairs. Unfortunately to get upstairs you have to walk by a smell that you really can't put your finger on...until you are halfway up the stairs and realize it's a faint urine kinda smell. This place gets pretty packed - it's open until 2am and really is the only "cheap" place to get some food/drinks and watch the game in this area (offskirts of Yorkville). I had the Boston Clam chowder (it's famous! on the menu for 35 years!). Yeah...not so good. Some of the clams had a gritty texture which meant they weren't cleaned correctly. Also the soup was bland - i had to add salt/pepper to give it any flavour. I also had the margherita pizza. Blah. I added hot sauce to it and well...still blah. Come here for the drinks and the game. Get food elsewhere. read more

Strolling through Yorkville looking for somewhere to have an early dinner. Stumbled upon Hemingways so I decided to give it a go! There are 3 different floors to this restaurants, The Main Floor / Dining Room, Second Level Smallest of them all with a Bar with Tv's, and Third Floor Patio that is open all year round, heated and covered. After surveying the 3 I opted for the main floor, just seemed less busy/crowded than the patio and more interesting than the 2nd floor. The crowd here ranges from grey haired men in suits to young females. The hostess said we could sit wherever we liked and then she'd come over with the menus. After seating ourselves in the back beside the main floor bar along a comfy banquet our waitress Jose returned with the menus. She asked if we knew what we wanted to drink. We inquired if they had sparkling lemonade (I know most restos dont) however she said they have regular lemonade but she could whip of a sparkling one, we asked if she could add strawberry syrup to it (i know a little demanding) she said they didnt have strawberry syrup but she would add strawberry daiquiri mix to it. Anywhoo when she returned with our Drinks, it totally blew me away, she did such an awesome job it tasted delicious! We were given two menus one was a snack menu with more informal things like pizza, burgers, and appetizer foods and the other was the main menu with dinner items. I was in the mood for a sandwich but I was totally surprised that the dinner menu had no sandwich section! I believe this is the first time Ive never seen a sandwich list on a bar style resto menu! Therefore I opted to go formal and have a proper dinner, I do love fish and they did have good options so I decided to try that route tonight. For Apps we decided to try something from the Snacks Menu Cheddar and Potato Periogies with Fried Onions and Bacon and Sweet Potato Fries. The periogies came out piping hot and slighlty golden brown. I liked that they served chunks of bacon instead of bits and side of cold sour cream, traditional but still delicious. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly crispy outside and soft inside and I loved the cajun mayo dipping sauce it was served with. Mains from the dinner Menu Rosemary Trout - Fillet of rainbow trout with rosemary herb, served with a cherry tomato relish, fresh vegetables, and vegetable rice. I've never had rosemary on fish before but it tasted excellent! The fish was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the tomato relish! The rice was simple but still it went well with the fish. Butter Chicken - Chunks of chicken in a smooth Indian curry sauce, served with steamed vegetables, rice and mango chutney. My sister didn't like this...she said it was not spicey at all, did not like the mango chutney, nothing outstanding in this dish... Finally for Dessert Mississippi Mud Pie - Mocha ice cream on top of a chocolate oreo crumb curst with hot fudge, sliced almonds, and whipped cream. When the pie came out I realized it was missing the almonds, I alerted our waitress and she explained that they had ran out of almonds (would have been nice to tell us before serving it) however she offered to bring us some chopped peanuts which I agreed to. The pie was really good and I loved the oreo crumb crust and the addition of peanuts made it even more tastier. Our red rose tea came out piping hot they way I like it with the tea bag already placed in the pot! Good to go! Overall I believe this place is better suited for drinks and food from the snacks menu. Come with large groups and head up to the heated patio or a casual drink and an appetizer and this is the place to go! read more

Popped in for an impromptu lunch on the patio on a sunny Sunday afternoon. It was a bit late so we got a seat right away but I'm guessing this is a pretty busy spot at peak weekend hours. We ordered the chowder and green salad (both were good) and a jerk chicken bowl with garden salad. The chowder had plenty of clams and good flavour. We also liked the fact that the broth was creamy but lighter than the typical floury thick stuff you get. Taste and consistency were both very good. The chicken bowl was not what I expected. Order a Tex-mex bowl anywhere else (whether it's a Resto or just Chipotle) and you get a bowl. Here it's a shallow baking dish with a few chicken cubes. And no jerk flavour. In hindsight it's a bit of a weird mash up of Jamaican-Tex-Mex anyways don't even know why I ordered it. They also melted a layer of cheese on top which I didn't really like. Missing ingredients included corn and cilantro which to me are critical for any bowl of this type. However they gave me a good amount of guacamole (fresh) and some nachos. That was unexpected. Now for the piece de resistance. My salad came with some brown salad dressing in a cup. Thinking it was balsamic I poured it on my salad and started eating. Hmm... that tastes funny. Another bite and a third bite, and I kept thinking this is the oddest salad dressing I've tasted. Yet somehow it tasted good! I asked my wife to try it and she dipped her fork in the cup of remaining dressing and had a taste. She told me it was gravy! Somehow the kitchen mixed up the balsamic dressing (also brown) with the gravy! But I think they've stumbled on the latest food trend. It's salad for people who DON'T want to eat healthy. Hey why not add some cheese curds and call it salad-poutine? Anyways I had a good laugh and a they brought me a new full size salad with dressing this time. All in all the food was hit and miss the service was fine and the patio is a great summer spot. Enough shade to keep the temperature comfy. read more

Hemingway's Restaurant - A below average mojito. - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love Hemmingway's, but to a degree. My biggest issue is that it is ALWAYS packed when I end up going. But the Nachos and Quesadillas a great as most pub fare will be and so is the drinks that the bar provides. They make a decent Gin and Tonic and the beers available will match and accommodate most palates, It does get noisy and crowded, but if you do get a chance to sit outside on a summer evening, it is well worth it. It's gorgeous and in the right spot to feel right at home in Toronto. read more

I came on a Wednesday night around 6:30 and got seated almost immediately on their patio. After reading many reviews I was a little worried about how the service was going to be but we never had to even call our server as she kept coming around getting drink and food orders and making sure our food was okay when it was delivered and asking if we wanted another drink when we had finished our first. I had the Hemingway's fried chicken and it was a little over cooked. It's not really traditional fried chicken and kind of reminded me of chicken nuggets. The potato salad that they served with it was good though. My friend had the California chicken wrap with a Caesar salad and that was really tasty. Overall it was a really good atmosphere. It was crowded and it seemed like everyone was having a nice time. They have a huge patio space. I would go again read more

I think Hemingway needs to re- look at training their hostess. Came here for an after work drink and usually has no problems getting a quick drink in and out. But was not happy when the hostess was not polite and when I see so many empty tables around she wouldn't even seat me and my friend for a quick drink at the rooftop patio. Her reason given, "I'm sorry I cannot seat two people in a four people table, and those are for other customers" Clearly, it doesn't matter that the tables of four can be separated into a table of two. So I think it's just a poor judgement and decision making. There are more proper ways to handle, probably suggesting the approximate wait times, standing and ordering the drink at the bar ( where seats were clearly available) or even serious the table of four that was available to a table of two). Sorry Hemingway you've lost both me and my friend as customers and my default go to pub business now goes to The Pilot. read more

Hemmingways for lunch today - great service, value and good food. Hemmingways is not trying to be something they're not - it's a straight forward restaurant/bar with decent food; some "basics" as well as other interesting choices, so really something for everyone. The service was excellent, always love the happy Canadians! I had the sweet potato and chick pea curry with mango chutney. Served fresh and hot. Good portion. Probably a good happy hour/sports in the evening. read more

Came in here freezing and starving on our way to the ROM. We had a really hard time picking what to eat, because all of their menu options sounded incredible! My boyfriend and I had 5 choices minimum, each. We ended up ordering the chili and fish&chips, which were both perfect and delicious comfort foods. Batter on the fish and chips was light and crispy, super well done. Wish we had gotten a little bit more bread for the chili, and that it was a bit warmer inside (I couldn't take my coat and hat off and was still quite cold) but the food and vibes were amazing. Would come back for sure in warmer weather! read more

This is a fun pub for drinks. As a restaurant it's a disaster. The seats are very uncomfortable. The food was horrible. The salmon fillet was burnt, extremely dry and tasted awful. The rice was and veg were unseasoned. The whole dish was a complete disappointment. I returned my dish mostly uneaten (minus the vegetables) and paid my bill in full. I will not be returning. My family managed to finished their meals but were very underwhelmed. The service was quick, and our waitress was friendly. read more

Hemingway's Restaurant - Don't order the salmon fillet - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came to Hemingway's for a late dinner after work. It was pretty quiet, but it's a Monday night so that's kind of expected. I was greeting very graciously by a number of the staff members before being seated to a table by the front window. The server was very attentive and friendly. He brought us our drinks promptly and was very helpful with his menu recommendations. I got the beet and pear salad and my date had the fish and chips. It didn't take too long for our food to arrive and both dishes looked delicious. We both ate our meals really quickly. As we were finishing our meals the place seemed to get busier with the later night bar crowd. Seems like a decent place to go for a drink after work as well as for food. Will definitely return again! read more

I spent the evening at Hemingway's Restaurant with a group of friends. Right off the bat, let me say that this was primarily a casual night out with friends, with a fair amount of drinking, so I'll differ the food review until next time. Hemingway's is a pretty cool pub, with several floors, and great staff. Our drink of choice for the night was Brickworks Cider. I love cider. The only thing that sullies my love affair with it is that you usually can only have one or two glasses before your mouth becomes a sticky, sugary mess. This is definitely not the case with Brickworks. I appreciate our bartender, Razeen, making the winner suggestion! The only food that we had was an appetizer of calamari. It came with lemon, and two well pair sauces. One was a creamy tartar sauce, and the other may have been a salsa, but my memory is iffy here. I could say a lot about the roof-top patio and the rest of the look of the place, but what pleased me the most were the overhead space heaters that they had all over the floor that I was on. I dare you to get some of that heat and a solid cider in you, and tell me that you're not comfortable! I should also extend a big thanks to the staff, since in my less than careful state, I accidentally left my bag at our table when we left. I was easily able to retrieve it the next day, as they had stored it in their lost and found. God bless them. read more

BEST Pad Thai I've ever had...I was hesitant to order it because this isn't a Thai restaurant so I wasn't sure if it would be good. I'm so glad I decided to go for it because I still compare all of the Pad Thais I've had since then to this one and it's been TWO years since I had it. Full of meat, full of flavor and just full of goodness in general. If you go for dinner and you like Pad Thai or hell even if you don't... def order it and you'll LOVE it! Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because the service was a little slow read more

Avoid at all cost. Don't let the ritzy neighborhood confuse you into thinking this place is worth your time or money. The bald, tattooed bartender grimaced when we approached and made profane, racist comments about us under his breath. Given that we had zero interaction prior, this could only be due to a racial bias. After our first round, we requested a menu which the same bartender flung at us rather than civilly handing it over. After placing a second round of drinks which was identical to our first order, he purposefully switched the drinks and gave my friend and I the wrong drink - not even the biggest deal. The breaking point came after we ordered food, when he slammed the plates on our table in front of my face. At that point, we promptly confronted him about his horrendous behavior and service - to which he replied with an indignant smile and a blatantly fake apology. We canceled our orders and left right after. Trash establishment, and even more trash of a server. Management needs to put him in his place and teach him the meaning of customer service. Would rather die of thirst and starvation than go back to that awful bar. read more

Hemingway's Restaurant - New Zealand Lamb Shank. Meat was fall off the bone, mashed potatoes were soft & fluffy. Portion was good. - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Bailey the female hostess was strangely very rude and aggressive to my nephew and I this evening. I was going to give it a 1 star rating and leave a bad tip, but the manager, Rob, apologized and offered my table free drinks, which I humbly declined. Food was good, just the lamb shank was on the cold side, but nice portions and was meal and the desert was tasty. I recommend this place. (Side-note, I am reading some poor reviews, all about the poor or rude service. It is probably due to the same hostess named Bailey. She should be retrained on how to properly deal with customers or fired). read more

Toronto is ripe with hopping places to be scene, and Hemingway's is a convenient mix of great food and place to be seen. With an indoor and outdoor section, the atmosphere is good, just pick... The food was very good, a nice laid back menu, with the picture of a kiwi bird, as part of their logo...a tribute to the owners, from New Zealand. We did the fish and chips, a couple of the Cumberland burgers, and my salad eating wife tried the grilled salmon salad. I can say, all the meals were good sized, prepared spot-on, and had solid flavors. It's tough finding food for teens, adding in allergies, and sometimes the options are limited. But as for the food, my sons, loved the burger and fish & chips, wife, loves salmon, so everything was a hit. I like a nice juicy burger with a healthy portion of onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, if available...I'm picky about the onions, and these were pretty good, standard white onion. I'd have to say my favorite onions are Vidalia, perfect mix of sweetness and bite...man, I'm making my mouth water... Find Hemingway's, then the right atmosphere and the rest will fall into place...enjoy... read more
