After a while, I asked the bartender about a table for two, and she informed me of the self-seating policy. Once I found a table (though one of the chairs was blocked by a pillar) we waited for another table to free up. After that, the experience improved. The waitress was attentive, and both drinks and food arrived quickly without much wait. The overall atmosphere was great, and the live music added to the experience. Despite the initial confusion, it turned out to be a good visit!

The only reason I may not return is because I found some little barflies in my peas, and not the type you want to hang out with. I had the smaller fish and chips for $19. Fish is fine, not remarkable but was good. I was excited to eat the peas until I found a couple little friends that I did not appreciate on my plate. See the photos.

The duty manager and I discussed the matter; he said the sidewalk would be cleared later today as they had a new contractor. That is indeed the case. When I came back about 7:30 PM, the sidewalk was cleared to the bare pavement with big chunks of packed snow piled to each side. T H A N K. Y O U! to the Duke of Kent and the contractor. I am glad, and I am sure many others who live on Roehampton are appreciative. As a neighbour, I am grateful, and I wish the Duke of Kent a successful year - before we know it, their patio will be open!!

What a cozy spot in mid-town Toronto. There really is nothing like it in the area and I would say…read moreit is welcomed! There is a bar area and then a section with a couch and chairs to fill the rest of the bar. The cocktails were good, but not amazing. My old fashioned was way too sweet, but still a good mix.

The menu didn't indicate that the shrimp tacos costed $2 extra (this is indicated on their regular menu) so it came as a surprise on the bill. The restaurant is located downstairs and the space was larger than I expected it to be. They have a corner with a stage and looks like they have live music sometimes. Since we came when they just opened for the night and were their first customers/only ones there, there was only 1 worker who was doing stuff around the restaurant and was hard to get his attention sometimes. Location is convenient - just a couple mins walk from the subway station.

Their happy hour menu knocks a couple dollars off some of their regular menu items. I decided to go with the shrimp tacos and they were surprisingly good - I was expecting an average taco but it was yummy and I'd actually order it again. My one qualm is that on the happy hour menu, it doesn't indicate it, but the shrimp tacos are actually $2 more. I'd love to revisit on a night when they have a live music performance, to try more items off the happy hour menu.

I also ordered some take out: a funghi pizza, bruschetta & papardelle al boscaiola. Everything was so delicious! Sip is one of our favourite restaurants because the food is always good & it's not overpriced. The Tagliatelle was perfectly cooked and the bolognese sauce so yummy. Hubby enjoyed the charcuterie board. And the nutella pizza is a little messy but still delicious. At home I shared the bruschetta with hubby. I don't know how they get the pizza crust so thin. However they make their pizza I still think it's the best pizza I've ever had in Toronto. Service: We had a lovely lady serviing us. She has always been there when we have come in the past. She is so efficient & graceful too. The dishes came out quickly and we were soon eating. We came on Valentine's Day for lunch & it wasn't busy. Ambiance: The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day with red balloons. It was pretty but if you're going to the bathroom (which is downstairs) I had to duck so the ribbons didn't get in my hair. The restaurant has a cozy & comfortable vibe. But at the same time it's classy. The lower level can be used as a private room. I've seen families holding celebrations down there.The washrooms are clean & well maintained. I would definitely come back here again for a meal. It's too bad it's on a side street. It would probably get more attention. I think the food at Sip is better than Grazie actually, which is also nearby.

The food is reliably tasty, with plenty of great salad options, and their panna cotta deserves a special mention: I've tried this dessert in many restaurants, and Sip's version is hands‑down the best.

She was so nice and tended to all 30+ of us. She was constantly around and was always refilling the waters and cleaning the tables. The tacos, nachos, and the cocktail drinks are great.

The bad: ordered four cocktails, one of which I do not recommend - peardise lost. Tasted more like cough medicine gone bad The meh: the rest of the drinks were pretty average. We ordered Sunken Island (tasted like piña colada, Nijikai (good infusion of Japanese drinks together), and proper pimms cup (easy to drink, exactly as the menu describes it). Also ordered the LC nachos, large amount that was easy to share amongst our group of 6. What to know: they have food from la carnita (whom are attached upstairs). If you have a big group, best to book ahead because table is limited. Overall not a bad experience. Great bar to go to if you are around the area :)

Alas, since it was midday and I was driving, I had a Diet Coke rather than a draft. It's a cute pub and there were a few people scattered about. I was torn between the Homemade Butter Chicken or Scruffy's Meatlovers Pizza (bacon, hot Italian sausage, ground beef, cheddar, mozzarella and tomato sauce). My server suggested the pizza. I love love love pizza so pizza it was. It was okay. It was really chunky with meat and there was lots of cheese ... so no complaints about the amount of condiments. The crust wasn't so great, though. The texture reminded me of a frozen pizza. When I'm in that area again, I'll stop in for a beer a meal.

We'd both previously been to their…read moreFinancial District location and I'd also visited their Harbourfront venue a couple of times as I live close by. We arrived around 3:30 pm when it was fairly occupied; they feature 'Happy Sour Hour' from 4 to 7 pm, during which all of their sour beers are reduced in price to $7.00. We ordered and shared two beers, the first a lager, the second a sour beer in order to take advantage of the discounted price. The venue is long and narrow, with two floors and a distinctive looking back patio. Our service was fairly prompt and they are located in a quite convenient location, literally across the street from the subway and the historic, flagship LCBO location. So I can recommend a visit if you're in the area and desire a drink and/or snack.

This review is based on free-flowing appetizers and drinks, which, as we all know, is the best way to experience anything. The decor is standard Firkin pub meaning cozy, British, and featuring the signature Union Jack couch that I unfortunately neglected to take a picture of as there was an event photographer. For a British-style pub, my only real complaint is the cider selection. As someone who isn't a Strongbow fan, I was hoping for a nice local option, but the choices were slim. I happily pivoted to a perfectly pleasant Malbec, so I was okay in the end. The service was surprisingly excellent. Our party had about 30 people, and although there was another large group there at the same time, the staff was on it. Our waitresses kept us well-stocked with appetizers and managed to get drink orders filled with impressive speed. For those taking transit, it's incredibly accessible and just a five-minute walk from Rosedale station on Line 1. I can't speak to the parking situation as I didn't drive, but I didn't notice any garages on my walk from the subway. I'll have to come back on my own dime to give a more "authentic" review, but based on this experience, they know how to handle a crowd.

Food and coffee were ready in 5 minutes and I was OBSESSED with the latte art that the barista surprised me with. It took me a lot of mental strength to actually ruin the art and drink the coffee. But the coffee was so delicious that it actually made up for it! It was a rich taste of coffee and dark chocolate and tasted divine! Oh and the panini? Delicious! Perfect balance of chicken, greens, tomato and a flavourful sauce packed with yumminess. I am going to be back for more!
