The ladies restroom at 10 p.m was filthy. Thankfully it didn't smell bad. But still is unsanitary and looks bad for a restaurant critic who may be doing a review of the restaurant. The stage is decent and at the front of the restraint and so it's in an excellent spot. The lights on stage was not overwhelming too and so it made for a good show to watch. The bar area is quite big and so it was good for business. Sears about 12 people minimum with space to spare.

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.

Upstairs is a lounge where you can drink. We got the chance to check out the back and learn some about how beer is made and how the process leads to delicious tasting beer. When you're at the bar you can order a flight of 4 beers. I think this is the best deal to check out their great lineup of beers. The service was friendly and informative. I cannot count how many times, patiently, the sales rep explained what each beer was like and which were the favourites. The beer is absolutely delicious. I think we all typically associate craft beer with hoppy beer but this wasn't the case here. Everything was super smooth and delicious! Definitely a place I'll be checking out again and encourage others to check out! Unfortunately there's no kitchen here but there are snacks you can purchase, along with some swag. Of course, don't forget to check out Chicken Man!

I wasnt expecting to like it as much as I did but it was perfect with how hot it was outside. The beer was hazy and fruity so it blended well and felt like a frozen coctail which is right down my ally. The atmosphere was great as well. There were plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating along with some comfy couch seating and bar as well. There seemed to be some good boardgames which is always a good touch. The staff was great. They chatted with us for a while, gave some recommendations, and we're fast. They dont do growler fills or else we would have been here all the time. Overall a great spot for drinks.

Summer Sasion and 10 Bitter Year are only available in the brewery as 6 Packs which I now have them in my fridge ready for a patio party! We also tasted some small batch IPA on tap only...and of course their usual Pale Ale and Nutty Brown Ale... Which one is my favourite? I think I need to sample them again to find out!

When I say office though, it really is exactly like this because I think the front of house here (where you drink the beers) is basically a retrofitted office turned into a tasting room. The back of house, where the brewing and tours go on, it's deceivingly large and very clean. For me, I'm not a big fan of brewery tours because candidly once you've seen once, you've seen it all. I prefer to tour their beers by tasting them and Black Oak has no shortage of beers to try. A mix of their commercially available beers, seasonal draughts and little extras only available for purchase or tasting at the brewery. Good beer, good prices, and nice staff. Worth a visit

You might easily walk by and overlook this treat. Instead be good to yourself and make the effort…read moreto call in. Located on cobbled streets, within the atmospheric Distillery District area (a throw back representing Toronto's unique heritage and industrial development) the authentic facade of SoYD is far from nondescript but is instead faithful to its origins and blends in with the traditional surroundings. However please make time to stop and enter. The interior offers both a modern style juxtaposed with the hard-work brick fabric of a bygone era. Providing you with a comfortable, clean and stylish welcome. As an active distillery it is possible to wall around the interior whilst observing both the ongoing day to day process of liquor production and the wonderful range of in-house distilled and bottled produce. The menu offers a small but temptingly interesting range of starters, light meals and mains, together with beers, wines and spirits) many of which have been produced by SoYD. Our olives were fresh and zesty bringing the sunshine of their origin to a cold May day. The lobster brioche were light and delicious with the sweetness of the meat and wonderful fresh bun balanced by a flavourful slaw. We then enjoyed a vibrantly zingy endive salad with tangy blue cheese and a subtly brilliant honey mustard vinaigrette which brought the dish together beautifully. We ended our dinning experience with freshly fried rhubarb timbits, a bite and a half sized crispy shell encasing a light doughnut and tart but delicious rhubarb filling. SoYD has a great selection of wines, my glamorous partner enjoyed their Almanac White wine and I loved my Avling hazy IPA. We then enjoyed three sample glasses brought to us courtesy of Ray, the gamay was particularly good. To finish my partner had their own pint of Avling and I had a whiskey flight comprised of three in-house distilled glasses; vodka, a whiskey ( very good with warm spices, caramel, and touches of vanilla) and a delicious Ancho liqueur (chilies, blend of spices, a touch of natural sweetness and possessing an aroma reminiscent of liquorice root and tonka bean) Our host Ray was most friendly, welcoming and most generous with his time, taking great interest in us, our experiences in visiting Toronto, SoYD and on life and food and drink in general. By the time we had finished we felt like we had been to a friend's for a meal. A most wonderful and well prepared meal. Definitely an experience worth sharing and repeating. One to remember fondly.

Spirit of York Distillery: An Enchanted Speakeasy Hidden in Plain Sight…read more There exists within the Distillery District a sanctuary so conspicuously underappreciated that it borders on the miraculous--a place that paradoxically announces its excellence through deliberate restraint, drawing a discerning few while the many pass unknowingly. Spirit of York Distillery is precisely such an establishment: a hidden gem not because it obscures itself, but because it permits only those with genuine appreciation to discover its treasures. Upon entering, one is transported to an earlier epoch--the speakeasy lounge aesthetic suffuses every corner with an intoxicating atmosphere of Prohibition-era elegance. The seating arrangements evoke intimate conversations conducted beneath the weight of historical resonance; the bar itself commands attention as a stage for ritualistic craftsmanship. Yet perhaps most mesmerizing is the large glass partition separating patron from machinery--a transparent threshold revealing the intricate dance of distillation itself. One watches spirits transform from raw material to refined essence, a metaphor rendered literal. The "Cocktail Jammiest Jam" arrived as a demonstration of precision: each ingredient orchestrated to achieve perfect equilibrium, neither demanding attention nor withdrawing into oblivion. It was, quite simply, perfection as executed. The Gin and Tonic transcended its humble categorization. What might elsewhere be dismissed as elementary proved itself exquisite in execution--the botanicals dancing in perfect proportion, the quinine providing architectural scaffolding rather than domination. More remarkably, one possesses agency here: the opportunity to compose your own gin and tonic according to personal preference transforms the experience from consumption into collaboration. Here emerges the essential truth of Spirit of York: the spirits themselves, while commendable, become secondary players in a production where theatrical excellence, bartending mastery, and service refinement command the stage. This is not a destination for spirits connoisseurs seeking to dissect distillation notes--though they would not be disappointed. Rather, it is a refuge for those seeking an experience that transcends the strictly gustatory: an atmosphere so carefully curated, bartenders so genuinely attentive, that the act of ordering a drink becomes secondary to the privilege of their counsel. Remarkably, despite its proximity to your residence and its undeniable merit, the establishment maintains a refreshing discretion in its clientele. Quieter than its reputation deserves, it functions as a personal sanctum--a venue perfectly suited to entertaining visiting friends, providing them entry to an experience they would otherwise overlook. The space even accommodates those seeking private events, serving as venue for occasions requiring sophistication. Spirit of York Distillery stands as testament to the proposition that true luxury often dwells in obscurity--not through inadequacy, but through an absence of self-promotion. This is where ambiance, expertise, and grace converge to form something rarer than any spirit: a genuine, unpretentious sanctuary in an increasingly performative world.

There seemed to be just one server who was working as hard as she could. After quite a wait to get the correct drinks and food orders, half the group got their food, half didn't... that meant six people had finished their food before the others had even started! Totally unacceptable. And when the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and mediocre. We even had to ask for napkins and utensils. Come on, Tracks! Get it together! What should have been a great meal was very disappointing. I certainly won't be recommending you to anyone.
