The place was not very busy considering it was a Saturday morning but idk perhaps there's a glutton of breakfast establishments? The place was clean and service was decent. Just had to ask for the 2nd cup of coffee. Maybe people just don't like to come downtown cause it's not the nicest But it's not I felt unsafe. It's all fine.

Only restaurant I've ever ordered delivery where the food actually arrived hot and ready to eat I usually find that either the microwave and/or the air fryer need to spring into action. The seafood pasta is wonderful, and includes lobster tails, mussels, scallops, and shrimp. Chicago Steak Roasted beet salad - delicious, as are the curry goat rolls. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on Hardy John's menu. Highly recommended.

The dessert table was a highlight, with lots of great options, and drip coffee is included. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the service throughout our visit was warm and friendly. The interior has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal. Reservations are highly recommended, and the good news is you can book directly through their website, which makes planning ahead simple. A great spot for a delicious and comfortable weekend brunch.

But..... my gosh. The dishes looked nice. My niece said her food was okay. Her cousin said his food was overcooked. My dish was trash, my gosh, I couldn't stomach the taste. The salmon was tough, tasted bad, rank. The seasoning was weird and didn't pair well. It had some kinda spice that tasted odd. I don't even know what to say about it. But later that night I was throwing up well into the morning. I only eat possibly 3-4 small bites, most of the dish was left back. I still tipped and didn't complain as I just wanted the kids to have a nice night without arguing with whoever. As I write this I am reminded of the disgusting taste. NEVER again for that dish! Now that I think about it I honestly shouldn't have tipped. Paying for that dish was already above and beyond!

Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

The latest visit was as good as the first one. Same decor, everything still spotless, wait staff friendly and fast. Due to us missing Thanksgiving we had turkey. Yes real turkey not processed roll.

A must visit. Pricing very reasonable. Very busy during peak hours. Go!

A relic from the past is still going but I'm not sure that is a good thing…read more Dinner on a Sunday evening at 7pm was met with immediate news that they were closing at 8pm so we were told to rush and order asap. Our server was rough around the edges, very short and to the point. Food was good. A nice portion sized deli sandwich and crispy, golden cut fries. This is why you're coming to Teddy's and the cooks are making it happen. The decor is horribly dated, the restaurant hasn't been updated since the 90s. It's like looking at a parody restaurant from a movie with all the sports and tchotchke memorabilia on the walls from years gone by. It's in a desperate need of an update. My biggest gripe was the server taking our deserts order while in the middle of vacuuming the restaurant because they were closing soon and she obviously wanted to go home. It doesn't make you feel very welcome. They also locked the doors and told us we had to leave from the side door instead of the main entrance. I don't know if I'll be back, it doesn't feel like they want me to come back.

The restaurant is split into two main areas: high table booths and a more open space with the usual tables & chairs. I would recommend seating in the latter area because there seemed to be more light. Food-wise, the portions were generous and scrumptious! The salmon bowl was creamy, zesty, packed with crunch. The Italian sandwich was fantastic as well, with a generous layer of mayo on ciabatta covering layers of cured meats, cheese, arugula, & roasted red peppers. Of course, we couldn't leave without getting caffeinated ;) Service was friendly from the get-go, but our food did take a long time to come out due to backed up takeout orders. A minor discount was provided for the inconvenience. Despite this, we would be up to coming back for weekend brunch one day!

When we sat down we were immediately a bit turned off because there seemed to be a fruit fly infestation. I'm not saying 1 or 2, I'm saying like dozens on the wall behind us. We probably should have just left but we are too shy. We ordered a fried chicken Benny & fried chicken/french toast. Portions were huge. The fried chicken was well done. The French toast was okay. The taters and home fries were decent. One thing I noticed is that they use a ton of store bought components. For example I know they have banana bread French toast on their menu and I saw store bought "our fresh market" brand boxes of banana bread. I saw bags of grocery store toast. The tater tots were likely from frozen. I guess I'm just used to going to brunch spots and more being made in house - or even sourced from a bakery. The service was friendly. The prices were similar to downtown Toronto - $30 pp without any beverages, before tip.
