    Red Ale beer
    Lulu P.

    This is a nice place to go for wine and some cheese, a small bite or even a bigger one. It is nicely decorated and they have just enough lighting to set the right atmosphere to enjoy your wine. They have happy hour Monday to Friday 4-6pm which includes: $8/glass of wine, $40/bottle of wine, $14.5 charcuterie plate, $2 east coast oysters. It is recommended to book your reservation before going as the place is not super big. Service is friendly and attentive.

    The wine was great. The attention to detail in terms of food preparation was excellent. I would definitely like to come back here again.

    This past Saturday night, a group of us visited Free House after a busy day with family, in-laws,…read moreand friends (none of us are fussy eaters and every one of us enjoys exploring new and unique restaurants). The experience was incredibly disappointing owing to a bewildering change in the menu. Gone from the menu are the delicious flatbreads, most sandwiches and other pub fare that they did so well. Also gone are the traditional side dishes that you would expect to find any pub restaurant. Quite disappointingly, we were shocked to find that a new "sharables" menu, which was disjointed, massively overpriced, and by some measure insulting (i.e. see the $11 dollar Pringles and onion dip appetizer, which is an unopened small can of pringles and a bowl of uninspiring dip that tastes about the same as the store bought plastic containers). The only recognizable menu items were the hamburger and a Ruben ($18 dollars each) that come with no sides or garnish and, as I've noted you can't even order fries or anything reasonable on the side. Literally a hamburger on a side plate. There are some more eclectic menu items that might be appropriate if you went to (and were in the mood for) a modern fusion tapas restaurant, but if you're in the mood for a relaxed pub atmosphere, most of these will miss the mark. The food itself is okay at best, but certainly not worth the exorbitant prices. It seems to me that management decided to go this sharables route to increase revenue (higher prices) and decrease costs (because there is fractionally less on your plate). The problem with this new income model is that I will never (ever) go to Free Houseagain with this clown-car of a menu, so any early increase in revenue will be short lived as I don't expect there would be many return customers. From what I can discern, management seems to be targeting $50 or $60 per customer for a meal and a drink, so expect to pay about that much or more if you are looking to walk away relatively satiated. We chose Free Housefor a relaxed dinner with family after an important and busy day. The menu is absurd and none of us plan on returning. Overall, I do not recommend Free Housewith the menu in its current state - it is RIDICULOUS. When I am in the mood for spending this kind of money on this kind of food I will go to a restaurant where they know how to do it and do it better. A can of pringles? Really? Talk about mailing it in.

Book this for your next meeting with Jasper Morris, Anne Krebiehl and Peter Liem lol A very well researched selection, from Meursault villages to the most coveted 1ers & Grands Crus in white and red: Puligny, St. Aubin, Volnay, Pommard, Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey Chambertin, ... Lafarge, Hubert Lamy, Leflaive, Mugneret-Gibourg, Some excellent lower yield & early accessible vintages like the 2019. Not many bottles are older than 10 years, but a number of suppliers provide pretty much the rarest new stuff available in the region. Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music. Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here. Oh, and they have Les Robarts by Suenen. I had to visit four wine stores in Champagne to get two bottles of that. Good luck finding that anywhere else.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.

Good selection of draft beers and had Granville Island Winterale on tap - winning! Food wise we shared a bunch of the snacks. Calamari with bacon bits (bacon in everything), was a good size portion but was left in the fryer just a touch too long. Started getting a little chewy. Pork gyoza came with about 6 or more tot he portion. Good thicker soy dipping sauce. Large size gyoza's. Quite tasty. Biscuits and pig sauce (thick gravy) came with 3 large buiscuits to the portion. Little harder round the edges. Felt they may have sat under the heat lamp a little too long. Gravy was 100% fantastic. Thick and flavourful and a good size portion to go with the buiscuits. Wild boar taquitos are amaing! 4 to a plate with sour cream and guacamole on the side. Soft one the outside and packed with ground boar on the inside. These were a clear winner with everyone. Friend had the mac and cheese. Enjoyed it but said it was also a little dry - pretty sure it was the heat lamp again. Looked like they were hosting a christmas party in the back section with buffet service from a hatch area down the end of the bar. The food one the buffet looked quite good when I walked past and nice that they had a little curtain up to make the area a little more private. Feel the aspects of the food that we didn't like were down to the waitresses being so busy running drinks that food sat for a little while. They could do will getting a food runner in for the game/fight nights maybe. Lots of specials everyday. Would like to see how the brunch is. Or just be back on a Monday where the wild boar taquitos are $2 each...
