This place had a solid old fashioned and a terrific collection. I started with Canadian Club 18 yr. And it was good. A few others I won't bore you with. I had the beef sliders and they were tasty. Nicole was friendly and super helpful and I enjoyed chatting with whiskey aficionados at the bar. Can't wait to come back and try more of their collection!

Every aspect from the sauce to the baguette to the meat was so tasty. I also recommend getting the garlic aoli for the fries. The drinks were very well done and unique in flavor as well, in particular I tried to the midnight show which was like a raspberry espresso martini. It was fantastic. The ambiance of the place is spectacular as well with a cool, library naturally, vibe. The servers were also great and helped accommodate my date who is gluten free, and her baguette replacement was the best that she'd ever had of a gluten free option. All in all top tier experience start to finish.

I love the service that I've received staying at the Ritz Carlton but time and time again I will say that the food at the Ritz has been lackluster. Fairmont is definitely in another league. Highly recommend the Saigon margarita and the sea plane. I really also liked my black truffle omelette that I had for breakfast. I can't wait to come back to try the Earl grey pancakes and the Brûléed French toast. I hope they also will have pear nectar next time so I could finally get that pear mimosa that I was craving!

I tried the Tick Tock with passion fruit, vodka, spiced jasmine, lemon, vanilla. It was very pleasant but wasn't too passion fruity. I guess my love of passion fruit is just too strong.

We had to ask if he thought it might be soon. He then confirmed the order and we had them 5 minutes later. So glad it all came together but it wasn't the smoothest experience.

I got settled in with a beer and Gord joined me. When I looked at the menu, I realized that this was no longer the Brazen Head but was now the Black Sheep.  The menu is a lot smaller and there's none of the pub grub I was expecting and looking forward to.  But we were comfy and stayed put. Gord ordered a Vietnamese Shrimp Cocktail and I ordered a Margherita pizza and asked to have pepperoni added.  Both were really good and we'd get them again. The beer wasn't very cold so we ordered a cocktail.  Gord ordered an Optimist and I ordered The Tattel Tell.  They were tasty and fun. Amber was our server ... she was friendly and helpful.

Overheard everyone behind us was expecting a 1+ hour wait - so we got pretty lucky! We got seated on their patio which overlooked the Toronto skyline - it was a beauty! Service was lacking a little, as we weren't able to ever flag anyone down for anything. However, we only came for drinks so it wasn't too big of an issue for us. Came here for their famous sour topped with egg white with the art printed on top of your drink. It was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing as well! The staff were nice enough to give us blankets since it was chilly on their rooftop. Overall, I would come back from more drinks here. Vibes were immaculate, drinks were even better!

We showed up with a reservation for about 14 for a birthday and they set us up at two separate tables. However, once requested they created a makeshift table for our group. The service was terrible. There was one server who made me feel extremely uncomfortable but at the same time knew nothing about the menu or cocktails and was kind of blunt and rude when asked questions. We order a bunch of drinks and the few I tried were a disgrace to be called cocktails. The clarified rum cocktail was so watered down I couldn't taste anything. They agreed to change it for me. I then got plot twist, which was also pretty terrible but I stuck with it. Someone in our group requested for a Manhattan with a specific rye and then used crown royale instead. However, the only decent thing about the place was the food. We got the Korean fried chicken, fries, fried mushroom, burrata, and a few dessert options. All the food and dessert was delicious. But if you want quality cocktails, go somewhere else.
