    Finally!!! Fish and Chips can be GF if you ask! And they have a separate fryer for GF.

    WOW, great food. Tons of selections. Lots of food for dietary restrictions. Or just ask and they will try to accommodate. Lovely place in a village setting. Amazing service and wait staff!!!!

    Very nice place with very friendly staff. Food is pretty good too. Nice options to choose from, leaning towards a Greek pallet. The chicken was a little lacking in flavour and they charge extra for more sauce which is the only reason why it did not get 5 stars.

    Caesar salad with steak

    My friend and I came here for lunch. The waitress was very friendly. I got the beet & cheese salad which was very good. The beets were pretty bland but I did enjoy the salad overall. My friend got the Caesar salad. The house-made dressing wasn't very garlicky. It had a strong mayo base that my friend wasn't a fan of.

    Chicken Pita with fries and a Greek salad with a wedge of feta! Love it.

    Last night we celebrated the end of the year with our Yelp International Supper Club by celebrating American Cuisine with Greek night at the Sweet Onion Bistro in the heart of Wortley Village. Reservations were made prior to coming, which is a good thing that we did because Greek night was busy. The restaurant itself was small, and tables were fairly close together, and we were seated at our reserved table right away. There we're five of us and our drink orders and our menus were handed to us and took a few moments to look. I had looked at the menu online prior to coming, so I had an idea of what I wanted. Our waitress, who was wonderful, came back with our drinks and took our orders. I had ordered the trio dip for an appetizer which came with tirokefteri, taramasalata and tzatziki sauces with warm pita bread and for my actual entree I got the Chicken Pita, which came with fries stuffed in it, but they omitted that for me. The appetizers and meals came out in good time, the dips were delicious and full of flavour, and the chicken pita came with fries, which I don't personally like fries, so I shared them with everyone, and the most delicious Greek salad ever; it came with green peppers, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and a wedge of feta cheese, which I loved! The ambiance was loud, and I felt like I had to raise my voice louder, almost yelling to talk to my friend right next to me. The tables were very close together, but the whole entire place was pretty small itself on the inside. Everything else was wonderful, the food, the company, our waitress was wonderful, giving us great suggestions and recommending menu items. I will go back again on another night to try their regular menu. My suggestion is, from going last night, to make a reservation so you're seated right away.

    I called up Sweet Onion Grill to see if there was a wait and they were able to secure one last table for my family on a Sunday night. This was a big score for us since the chain restaurant we were at had an hour-long wait and that just wasn't going to do. Plus I'd much rather support a local business than a chain! When we arrived we were quickly recognized and seated at a table. The waiter we had was top notch. Probably one of the best experiences I've had in a LONG time. He was personable and funny without being cheesy, cliche, or rude. I'm not sure what stood out more, the service or the food. I had the pear, vanilla and bacon salad and it was delightful. It was very fresh and had the perfect amount of sweet vs salty. I got the chicken supreme which was cooked perfectly. I loved the corn and the potatoes that it came with. We didn't want the meal to end so we got dessert. The peanut butter cheesecake was superb. Definitely not too sweet, it was perfect to share. My dad loved his sweet onion soup and his steak was cooked perfectly. He was gushing about it on the walk back to the car. My mom liked her chicken pita very much. My boyfriend got the salmon and risotto and he also very much enjoyed it. Thank you Chain-Restaurant-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named and your hour-long line up. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have come to Sweet Onion Grill. We will definitely be back and my parents have a new appreciation for great local business!

    The something something Fish and Chips! Try them!

    Showed up on a Thursday night. All the outside tables were booked because a muscian was coming. So settled down inside. Ordered the Fish and Chips (Sorry Sweet Onion, there was no way I could remember the complete name). Fish was amazing...it was huge! Not oily. Batter was light and crispy. Chips were storemade and good also. Only downside was my fly visitor and no real ciders. Was also wishing they did not use a radio station as music. Otherwise, great experience. Service was excellent!

    Roasted Goat on Greek night:

    First time here and we stumbled upon their Greek night. Live Greek music, extra Greek dishes (they have plenty on their regular menu) and an awesome atmosphere. They've got great seating both inside and on the patio and are a great piece of the puzzle that make Wortley Village an attractive food destination. I had Roasted Goat, which was phenomenal. Also had the calamari and the appetizer dish of cheese they douse with ouzo and light on fire. Opa! My wife had the Souvlaki plate, which was great. The food was homemade and delicious. They also have Krobenburg Blanc on tap, which makes my wife very happy!

    Enjoying Canada Say with the family, we decided to try this place for lunch. We felt welcoming right from the beginning. With such a beautiful day, we decided to sit on the patio. Had the Canada Day special (beer and a Niger) for under 10 bucks, and my son had the grilled cheese sandwich. My wife had the salad with a side of calamari. Good service along with tasty food makes this a place to check out. Would come back to check out other items the menu has to offer.

    Pan roasted chicken
    Abigael P.

    My friend and I came in on a Wednesday night for dinner. The first thing we noticed was the ambience - warm, cozy, and dim lighting with candles. We sat down next to the windows and across from the bar for more lighting. Service was great and super friendly. We even got to talk to the owner of the restaurant who told us a bit of the history behind the place (it was a restaurant that had been handled and turned into a bunch of different things - pub, asian cuisine, etc.) and what they plan to do with it - they want to make it a bistro, a welcoming place for everyone and anyone to come in at any time to have a casual drink, a snack, a place to study, etc. We ordered two entrees: pan roasted chicken served on potato gnocchi and a basil and tomato sauce and parmesan crusted salmon served on a nicoise salad (potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, a soft boiled egg all topped with a sweet mustard vinaigrette). The chicken was cooked perfectly - not dry - juicy and bursting with flavour. While I was expecting more of a bold gnocchi flavour, paired with the chicken and sauce, the dish was good. The salmon was delicious - the salad and egg make this a well-rounded healthy dish. Doesn't leave you feeling greasy - leaves you feeling satisfied! For dessert, we ordered a salted caramel chocolate cake. It was decadent and sweet and served with a chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. It had a thick chocolate base and was pretty yummy though I would have liked for there to be more of a salty taste to it to balance the sweetness of the dish. Overall, Sweet Onion is a great venue and it's located in one of London's charming streets. Great for conversation and filled with warmth, Sweet Onion is here to stay.

    A quaint little Bistro on Wortley was a nice surprise. The outdoor patio was lovely. The food was fresh, home made and very delicious. The owner was also our waitress. Highly recommend a visit for a relaxed lunch.

    You can never have too much fun at Sweet Onion Grill.

We were dearly craving the roasted apple featured on their online menu before, but it turns out that the apple has been replaced with the homemade mulled wine and biscotti! Meanwhile, she ordered the Londonlicious autumn salad, the vegetarian toasts, and the creme brulee. While the food wasn't drop-dead amazing, the service was great! I had attempted to get a reservation the day before, but was told that they were fully booked. When we arrived, they had originally wanted to seat us down at the bar, but after considering it, they offered a table for two that we would have to return in an hour. That being said, we never felt rushed in our meal - they never hinted at us to leave, even when the other couple who had made the reservation arrived Instead, they sat that pair down at the couches, and asked us politely if it would be okay to give us the bill now. They were very friendly and considerate (and thus, the extra star)! Our appetizers came first, and we were quite surprised at the small portion sizes. My ceviche was tiny! The cracker/chip was well-done (very crispy and tasty), but there was very little tuna - just very little to eat in general. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her brie at first, but then found it overly heavy after a while. This was a recurring theme, as it turns out all their vegetarian options have brie (she's vegetarian). Our entrees came next, and again, I was quite shocked at the smaller portion size. That being said, I found it adequately filling, and I was actually fairly satisfied by the end of the main meal! The smoked salmon was delicious! My absolute favourite was the pickled onion one... the slight sourness balanced out the saltiness of the salmon perfectly. The raspberry compote was good, but a little too sweet. I was excited to eat the caviar one, but found that they added too much of the herb garlic aioli. I believe there was some dill and/or cream cheese in it, which drowned out any flavour of the caviar/salmon completely! This was my least favourite, because it was quite heavy. My friend's vegetarian toasts came in three pairs (totalling six). I tried her grilled peach and candied pecan one. Although I enjoyed it, I wasn't a fan of the cheese spread. I think it would have been tastier without it! She was unable to finish the pear and brie ones, mainly because by that time she was quite full/sick with the heavy brie (it came with her appetizer as well). The desserts came last. By this point, I regretted ordering the cheese and fruit board, because I wanted something light to finish the wine. Thinking back, the homemade mulled wine would have been a delightful choice. Anyway, I polished the fruit and left the cheese to take away. My friend ordered the creme brulee - and it was HEAVENLY. It was so utterly creamy and sweet inside. Perfectly executed, with the right brulee on top! Although it was slightly pricey (such is the student life), I did enjoy the experience. Don't know if I'd come again, but it is a lovely date spot and a place to chill with friends!

We ordered beet salad, artichoke dip, crab cakes, Kang's fiery pork and Smokey BBQ lime chicken. All of the dishes were categorized as appetizers but they were main dish sizes! It's hard to imagine with $30+ per person, you can enjoy a fancy meal with attentive service these days. Unlike many other restaurants in GTA, this place doesn't charge you money for bread and the quality is so good. I really like the soft butter with good scent. The beet salad with goat was quite refreshing. The artichoke dip was flavourful too. The pork is tender and flavourful (spicy). Strongly recommend these three dishes. I didn't like the crab cake which doesn't have much crab flavour and the texture of which is weird too. The chicken is dry too. The server was offering to replace our chicken dish with something else when he heard the dish was so-so (although we didn't ask him to switch it). We were so satisfied with the environment and service here that we wanted to revisit during the rest of our trip if they were opening on those days. It'll definitely be my number one dinner choice when I'm revisiting London.

My date had a chicken entree and absolutely loved it. They still need to add sound deadening pads to the ceiling, but it wasn't too busy, so I could hear my date. service was ok, but we ran late due to conversation, and felt pushed to go. at least i wasn't called hunny this time.

    Delicious food, amazing service…read more Spent the weekend in London, Ontario and was hunting down a place for a last minute birthday celebration. I'm not familiar with the area, so I turned to Yelp for restaurant recommendations. Pleased to say, I can always trust my fellow Yelpies and their reviews. Found this place as one of the top ranked in London. It was a little last minute, but I managed to secure a reservation for two on a Friday afternoon for the following evening. When we arrived, we were politely greeted by the owner who was incredibly friendly. It's a small restaurant, but lively at the same time. I would say, definitely dress for the occasion. We looked through the menu and decided on Ricotta Gnudi with pancetta and brussel sprouts in a butter sauce for appetizer. Deeeelicious. For mains, we ordered the casarecce with beef tenderloin tips, in a creamy cambozola and chive sauce and potato gnocchi with pork ragu. You know how usually in fancy restaurants, portion sizes are so tiny that you have to hit up McD afterwards? This was not the case. What a pleasant surprise! The portion sizes were big enough that we managed to be full from dinner AND have enough to pack two boxes full! For dessert we ordered this peachy dessert. Unfortunately I don't have the name (tried searching it and realized their menus change quite often!). It was good, but I would have to say the appetizer and entrees were my favourite. Highly recommend this place and would come again!
