The roasted eggplant with pomegranate was fresh and tasty and a great alternative to heavier fare. The crab cakes were perfectly done with a crispy outside and soft but meaty inside. We finished with the sticky toffee pudding. It was caramelized beautifully and drowned in a divine sauce. Home run.

This is an elevated North American tavern. The building was built in 1910 with a wood-dominated…read morevibe. It has since been renovated by the new owners, making it elegant, but keeping the same vibe. The restaurant serves pork chops, steaks, fish, and elevated comfort food. It can seat 130 diners. There is a wood fire grill in the open kitchen; yes i saw them stoking the fire with wood pieces. There is a large selection of signature cocktails, wines, and beers. The menu changes seasonally. Most of the mains are served solo; ie, not garnished. You would have to order shareable sides. The Pork Chop was recommended by the server as the most garnished, do I ordered that. We came there on 2025-06-19 to celebrate my Birthday Dinner. The food was amazing and worth returning to try more of the menu. They do have a kids menu too. We ordered the following: 1. Lychee Grapefruit Highball ($15). Soju, soho lychee, soda, grapefruit, Thai basil, NICE ice. 2. Macaroni & Cheese ($22). With aged cheddar. From kids menu. 3. French Fries ($10). Garlic mayonnaise. 4. Shrimp Toast ($22). BC side stripe shrimp, sesame, apple sweet & sour sauce. 5. Lasagna ($30). Beef bolognese, risotta bechemel, basil. 6. Pasture Raised Pork Chop ($34). 12 ounces, sherry, capers & mustard. 7. Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($12),. Sweet chili, sesame seeds. 8. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream ($14). All the food was excellent, and worth the price. The NICE Ice is shipped in from a company that makes perfectly translucent ice. They boil it to be free of impurities, then put the boiled water into a mold to freeze. The Shrimp Toast was crunchy on the outside and the apple sweet & sour sauce was excellent. The Lasagna was great. Even my son loved it. The Pork Chop was perfectly cooked. There might have been 10% fat pieces and the charred bits were divine. The combination sherry and capers was a great idea. The Brussel Sprouts were not too bitter, and tasted great with the sweet chili sauce; it wasn't spicy. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was so moist. The amount toffee sauce was just right, and the vanilla ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. There is music playing in the background. There is a small private dining room downstairs. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two male and two female and one gender-neutral family washroom, all downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. There are three high chairs for little children. Review 2025-114

For my 100th review, I got to experience Alice Bar for the first time and it was great! We ordered…read morethe Tomahawk for 2 with extra sides like the Corn Ribs, Fries, Mozzarella sticks, and a Caesar salad. Everything tasted so good and we ordered the steak to be made medium rare (felt more on the medium side) - the steak was still tender and juicy luckily. We chose to sit in their patio area and it was very nice but we soon got kind of annoyed once the bugs (wasp, bees, ants) started showing up. Our server was great in the beginning but then kind of forgot about us near the end and we were waiting a while to pay our bill. Not sure if it had to do with us sitting out at the patio. Overall, I think it is worth coming to check it out and enjoy their Happy Hour specials at least once.

Happy to say it lived up to the hype. The interior is beautiful, chic, warm, and very inviting without feeling pretentious. Service was excellent throughout the night. We did the prix fixe set menu, which included the chicory salad, shrimp cocktail, ham plate, chicken wings, G.P. wedge, black cod, roast chicken, English chips, charred broccolini, and finished with crème caramel and a seasonal English pudding. Everything was really well done, and I especially appreciated how many vegetable-forward dishes were included. It didn't feel like the usual carb-and-protein-heavy set menu. The charred broccolini, black cod, ham plate, and G.P. wedge were definite standouts. All simple dishes on paper, but packed with bold, rich flavours. Portion sizes were also great. I've been to a few nicer client dinners where I still leave a little hungry, but that wasn't the case here at all. They also had several non-alcoholic drink options, which was nice to see and thoughtfully done. Overall, General Public delivered on food, service, and atmosphere. It felt polished but still approachable, and I can easily see why it's getting so much attention. A great spot for a client dinner and somewhere I'd happily return on my own too.

I had the omelette, which gives a choice of different fillings with sourdough toast and coffee. It was wonderful. My friends had the smoked trout Tartine and the smoked trout Benny.

Highly recommend if you're looking for an upscale brunch. There is parking behind the Fairmont at 79 Wellington, which has direct access to the Hotel. And of course TTC will get you to Union Station, which is right across the road.

The souvlaki was ok, but the tzatziki was a thin one, not a thick pressed one. The chicken fingers, though, not normally a stand out item were superb. And the prices were completely unexpected. Twenty bucks for lunch? In this city? In this part of the city? That was really shocking. I will absolutely be back again. There's more on the menu to explore, and I intend to keep exploring!

There was a lot of variety on the menu - I had the Thai Chicken Salad and I actually really enjoyed this! Tasted pretty fresh and the large portion size was very filling. Other standouts at the table included the fish and chips, Cumberland burger and Jambalaya. The prices reflect a typical Toronto pub in this area. There are a few separate floors but one thing I will call out is that it can get really hot in there - especially if you end up sitting right under one of their ceiling pot lights.

The salmon was $44 (before tax) and it was a small portion. It was just salmon nothing special about it. The flavour of the sauce complemented well and the skin of the fish was perfectly crispy. A well cooked salmon but it definitely felt like it was missing a little umfp. Regretted not trying the pizza or calamari.

But somehow didn't work out and ended up at other spots in the GTA. We finally made it here and it was not a bad overall experience. We saw a lot of tourists here, which was surprising. We were also expecting a more relaxed, fine dining sort of a vibe since the online menu looked like it. But when we made it to the restaurant, it was a very casual diner sort of atmosphere. We went on a busy Sunday so it did take us a while to find parking. The restaurant entrance faces the public parking lot so you can park and walk across the street. We got to the restaurant and were late by 30 minutes, but lunch time had already passed so there were plenty of tables available and we asked to sit in their covered patio area, which was right by the water. After being seated we ordered drinks, I got the white sangria while my friend got the red. Both were really delicious well-made drinks. For appetizers we got coconut shrimp which unfortunately was just 4 pieces, we wish there were more! We also got the arugula salad which was great! For mains, my friend got the fish tacos which tasted and smelled very fishy. She had to send them back and get fish n chips instead (no pictures). The fish and chips were a lot better she said. I ordered the blackened catfish which tasted good but not great. There were some wet uncooked spots in the fish. The rice and side veggies were also so-so without any flavors to them. Overall the food was a hit or a miss, some items were good, others not so much. But the service was pretty good, friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back here next for drinks and nibbles, not for the entrees.

Food is a hit n miss too, someone from our group got ill from the food. It is dimly lit which is good, clean washroom. But our trip was soured by poor service.
