Came here after picking up a friend from the airport. She had just came from Cuba and needed to be reminded by Toronto amazing food since she had been missing out. Was recommended to this spot by a friend and oh was it good. From the service to the ambiance and the quality of the food it did not disappoint. The sliders was rich in tenderness and flavor, the pineapple was discreet in my drink, steak tartare and bone marrow were seasoned well and presented beautifully, the truffle fries were rich in truffle oil and topped with a generous amount of Parmesan, and the Korean pickles were full of vinegar and pickled to perfection. Would definitely come back anytime as this place hit home for me. Support local businesses especially when it happens to be a great pub.

A sincere warning to all people liking good service and good management to not even consider going to this place. Why? Well, because you could be mistreated by the people that run this place withouth you understanding the rationale. Just do not go. Plently of awesome places to go in Toronto.

I went in for Oysters today because on Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have a sale for $14 per dozen. However today I also tried the pork belly sliders as pictured and it was really good. The combination of the cabbage slaw and pineapple with the pork belly created a perfect flavour in my mouth. Highly recommended! I've also tried other items on the menu such as the lobster roll and grilled octopus and those are also really good.

great food, great service.

The first thing I noticed was how they have made the best out of the limited space. Kudos to the interior decorator. You can glance at the live kitchen at mezzanine level through artificial tree trunks which gives an exotic vibe to the place. Our table of 2 just had a couple of cocktails. It's average, but I was happy with the overall ambience.

We went for a friend’s birthday and ordered some appetizers. I ordered the garlic scampis, didn’t taste any garlic at all, pure lemon taste, didn’t taste any jalapeños either. The shrimp was very tender tho but overall very disappointing dish for a scampi. My husband ordered the spicy fried chicken, too spicy that you can’t taste the flavour of the chicken at all. Then we had the churros, only good dish for us, churros we’re crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside and the Dulce de leche drizzle was just the right sweetness and didn’t overpower the churros. If you want amazing appetizers tho, our friends really loved the bone marrow and the lobster roll. Bone marrow comes with 2 bones and the chimmichuri sauce was delicious. The lobster roll was also delicious, and it was nestled in 3 mini slider brioche buns like a hotdog bun. Lots of lobster which was good. My other friend ordered the fish tacos, she said it was meh. She didn’t finish it. So overall, not too great experience.

Great service by our server, friendly as well. Food overall pretty good.Favourite dish is hands down the Japanese carbonara and Korean fried hen. My group left wanting more of the two. The lobster poutine was a tad too salty I had to pack the remainder to go and didn’t end up eating it. The drinks were okay but I enjoyed watching them being made.Unfortunately I had to keep my coat on the entire meal as it was quite chilly where I was seated.

I had a very poor customer experience here tonight!I ordered the t-bone medium rare and it came back to me medium-well and heavily charred. Two others at the table got the butchers cut also cooked medium rare (one seen across from me) and the colour is noticeably different.I'm usually not one to complain so I gave it a chance and took a few bites to only realize that I had to send it back.When I got the servers attention I told her the steak was too well-done and she brought it to the kitchen. She came back and told me the kitchen says it's fine and proceeds to turn up the lights (maybe so I could see the steak better?)I found that insulting considering I sent it back because it tasted off, not because of the way it looked.I come here every few months so it's a shame I'm leaving this 1-star review. Yes everyone has bad nights but to refuse my claim and then charge me full price is unacceptable, especially being a long time customer. The staff could say "sir you ate the whole steak", that's only because I couldn't let the $42 dollar steak that I was really exited to eat go to waste.Unfortunately because I was in a party of 8 I was forced to pay 18% gratuity. With a dozen oysters, apps and a drink my bill was over $100.Really disappointed.

Hidden gem right in the heart of Mississauga..food was delicious, service was good. We shared a few of their shared plates + dessert, and everything had great flavour and presentation was on point. We had the raw oysters, spicy chicken, fish tacos, Spanish Octopus, and the churros and spiced lava cake for dessert. Didn't give a full 5-star because the room we were in was cold, but this was apparently because one of their heaters was in the process of being repaired; also, washroom could be cleaner- toilet had a hard time flushing, and washrooms need paper towel to avoid touching faucet and doorknobs. Otherwise, great experience- would recommend and return!

This place has amazing Cocktails! They are pricey but worth it! They have a lot of options on their menu and the Chicken burger that I ordered was very flavourful. Their Espresso Martini is bomb! The pub is situated in a plaza so there is abundant parking around the place! Definitely worth a try with friends for a pub-hopping kinda night.
