The Fortunate Fox in Toronto

The service and atmosphere were great but the food was realllyyyy not good.

Dear Management, I am writing to share feedback regarding an incident that occurred during my visit to your restaurant Wednesday evening. I arrived at 7 PM with a group of Time Left participants and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service during our dinner. However, as I waited for my driver near the front entrance around 9 PM, I experienced an unpleasant and unprofessional encounter with a female staff member, whom I believe was a waitress or hostess with bright blonde hair. She raised her voice at the entrance, questioned my presence, and attempted to remove me from the premises, asking in an abrasive manner, What are you doing here? This behavior was rude, uncalled for, and does not reflect well on your establishment. While I appreciated the quality of the meal and service during dinner, this incident overshadowed the positive aspects of my visit and left me feeling unwelcome. I hope this feedback will be taken seriously and used to ensure that all patrons feel respected and valued when visiting your restaurant. Sincerely, Kami Brown

Food was cold. Fries were battered and gross. Was charged for basic condiments.

We were served by a sweet gentleman named Don who elevated our experience, periodically checking in on us to ensure we were enjoying our time. He refilled our tea without us even asking and politely and thoughtfully attended to us. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and we would definitely come again!

Went here for a work party and I had the mushroom risotto. The food was amazing, servers were really nice. Loved the artwork in the hallway leading to the washroom. I will be back!!

Nice place for a dinner with friends. Warmly welcomed and served promptly. Had a delicious meal accompanied by some live music. Parking nearby wasnt too much of a hassle to find with both greenP and street parking nearby. Ill be back another time!

They keep the accessible washroom locked; the staff seem to have no control over the sound system.

Wonderful atmosphere, very spacious. The steak was done to perfection with a generous portion of fries.

Sad to say that the nightcap of this restaurant was unfortunate. The place is understaffed making the experience really frustrating for both the servers and the customers. Food was decent but nothing special and the portions were surprisingly small for the price. Drinks and drink deals were good, we had half priced bottles of wine and the server was great at recommending it. Overall, just a bit disappointing as this place had a lot of potential.

My friends and I came on Saturday for drinks and apps, Jocelynn was the SWEETEST person everrrr. Thx girl!

Jake. You re some man. Come to the quiz!

Some of the best cocktails are made by Don and the best customer service always love this spot. Thanks, Don

Really good food. Prices are fair.

Good food and drinks, our server was nice. We were the only ones in there when we went and it felt very fancy. Would return again

i don t have words for this place. my sister and i were hesitant to come in here because we ve never been to this place but the second we walked in we felt welcome. Cory is an amazing bartender! he s the only reason we stayed so long . it was supposed to be one shot but his personality made us stay!!! he was very inviting and personable, and he made us the most amazing drinks, definitely coming back after this experience !!!

Soft drinks were flat; service was passable but food took over 40 minutes to be delivered. Food itself was disappointing for that price point; Philly cheesesteak eggrolls were basically just beef sticks with no flavour, served with barbecue sauce, not really Philly-like. Beef dip sandwich seemed burnt and was served with a gravy, not an au jus.

The breakfast was pretty good, however the restaurant was a bit of an unorganized mess. The staff didnt seem to know what to do and the manager kept yelling at them for not doing what he wanted. Overall an uncomfortable experience.

Our server, Don, was amazing! He gets a 5+! Really nice, friendly, funny, and patient guy. The food and atmosphere were also very good. I d come back.

Walking about when I came across this great bar. Asked the barmaid, Christine if the English football game can be shown on television. Her response, Not a problem. I told her that because of this, the bar had my presence for the duration of the game. I left 3 hours after the game. The food was great. I had breakfast and later Lunch. Christine was welcoming and lovely to talk to.

I know prices are up everywhere, but $45 for one breakfast and two coffees (my wife wasnt hungry but joined me anyway) is a little insane. This was a $14 breakfast at best. No complaints about the service, but the value stinks as bad as the ratty, beer-soaked carpet by the projector (please steam clean that thing, or burn it).

Came in for celebratory drinks last night after our film was in a festival nearby. Never have I encountered such a rude and aggressive server. He made snappy remarks and condescended nearly everyone at the table. My girlfriend was trying to be helpful and he tore into her. We were all super confused as to how and why we offended him. He then complained and acted oblivious when no one tipped him. We all had one drink and got the hell out of there. Would never NEVER return. We went to El Furniture Warehouse down the street afterwards and had a great time. I only wish we went there first and didnt waste our time and money sitting in uncomfortable silence while he berated my crew and friends.

Everything was perfect for my daughter s birthday lunch! Don made our experience unforgettable!! Thank you for giving us and her the best birthday lunch we could ask for!

Id come back for the service!!

Fun trivia here! Be aware that it s super long (2.5 hours) and all pop culture but if that s your scene then go for it! The trivia was super organized and the announcer played great music. Trivia categories were the most bizarre I had ever seen. Food was okay. Pub looks nice - cool vibe.

Breakfast is pretty good Friendly service Delicious and fresh

The ambiance and service were great, but the biggest thing for me was the food, the steak was exceptional, would definitely return if I have the opportunity!

I never leave reviews for anything, but I used to be a server for north of 6 years and when I receive top of the line service, I have to give credit where it is due! I happened to stumble upon this gem while looking for a comfortable place to work. What a fabulous spot! Don was my server and he was absolutely wonderful. Great conversationalist and extremely memorable! There was another server as well, who was also very friendly and hospitable. I didn t catch her name, but they were both very attentive. I will certainly be back with some friends to this wonderful restaurant!

Don was our bartender and he was amazing top-tier mocktails!

Don was our server and he surprised us with the best mocktails! The service was amazing overall and we were well taken care of, would definitely return!

Came here on a trip with some friends after wandering around trying to find food after seeing Casa Loma. Only leaving a review because the Cobb was the BEST I ve ever had, would highly recommend. Otherwise, it was a bit pricy. Our server was nice and attentive, however food was a bit slow for how busy the restaurant was. I would go back if I was in the area again though.

We went to Toronto for a family trip. Don is an excellent waiter there who served us during our dining experience and cheered up my kids. The food was good, though not as impressive as Dons service. I gave it five stars mainly because of his exceptional service.

I had a late lunch. Service was so-so. They appeared to be winding down from a large group and were doing inventory and cleaning. It was also appeared to be at shift change. I did not require a lot of help, but could ve been checked on a little sooner. The burger and fries were good though.

My boyfriend and I were greeted wonderfully by the greatest bartender in the area! If youre looking for a good old-fashioned or a cosmo, then this is the place!

The hollandaise sauce on benedicts werent a lot, and the flavour was rather plain. But the fries were very crispy!!

Went in for a quick pint, service was great, only tried the spinach dip wjich was decent

The service here is excellent. I found out that our server Joce has only been in the job for one month just like to say the she is very attentive without being intrusive keep the good work up The entire staff worked seamlessly together to create a seamless dining experience. We never had to ask anything twice!

The server named Don, he is so nice. And he made special drink for me.

I love this place! I love the staff and Corey is an amazing bartender! Thank you for having me Food

Open really late with food. I came in at midnight and got food. The vibe is energetic. Definitely a place that attracts 20-40 crowd. Id go back here again. Food : 4/5

A great and friendly place to enjoy breakfast! It was pouring rain and I stepped in to get out of the rain and had enjoyed the great and welcoming staff and atmosphere! Food

The service and the trivia night was good. The food is really bad and not worth the price, we had ordered burger, nachos and the salmon, and the food quality is below average, and clearly being microwaved. Dry burger, not fresh fried fries and tasteless salmon. The burger is worse than a regular shake shack or A&W burger because the meat is too dry. Is not worth 2x per each dish. End up paying ~180cad for below average food feeling bad for a birthday celebration.

Overcooked eggs benedict. Asked for still water and we were given a bottle, which they charged us $10 for. Kinda sneaky.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this brunch place. My friends and I, a group of three Asian girls, were completely ignored by the staff, while there s only 3 tables in the house. Even the creamer set took 15 mins to arrive. No one checked on our table at any point. The food took forever and coincidentally arrived after I request to cancel, and when it finally did, it was cold. Overall, the service was terrible and the food was subpar. I won t be coming back and I don t recommend this place to anyone.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at this restaurant last week to celebrate his birthday. We had high expectations based on our previous visit. This time, however, our experience was far from pleasant. We ordered cocktails, nachos with chicken, grilled salmon, and The Fortunate Burger. While the service was okay, the quality of the food was very disappointing. The burger was dry, the fries did not seem fresh, and the salmon was tasteless. Given that we ended up paying around 180 CAD for this meal, we felt the food was not worth the price at all. Im upset because my boyfriend was particularly disappointed, as it was supposed to be a special celebration for his birthday. :( I ve never written a complaint to a restaurant before, but I felt compelled to share our experience in hopes of an improvement. *I emailed the hotel and the restaurant last week; the hotel manager replied me saying that he had spoken to the restaurant manager about this, and hell be contacting me. However, theres no response so far. To be honest, the restaurant manager never addressed the bad reviews here on google (which is A LOT), I shouldve known that he doesnt care. Ill never come back to this restaurant. And if youre thinking if you should come, NO YOU SHOULDNT. Go find a better restaurant whos passionate about food and customer experiences. Theres still plenty of them in town.

Had a great night at the fortunate. Was near by looking for a place to watch the hockey game. Staff was great.

I love this place and so should you

Great service and great food. I highly recommend the hamburger!

Excellent!!

Great Service, Great food, Great atmosphere. Nice Chill spot to stop into on a commute home from work or any kind of gathering. Food and Drink menu offers a great & vast selection for everyone and caters to peoples requirements. Good drink & food offers that change depending on the day. Half price wine on Fridays is particularly great value finishing of a long week at work.

Had an amazing time dining here, would highly recommend!

Fantastic bar! Amazing experience and service, would recommend to anyone.

Had an excellent experience here on their trivia night. Service was quick and food was great.

Fantastic experience at The Fortunate Fox on Bloor St! We dined in and had the most delicious food and implacable drinks served by the bartender. Warm friendly atmosphere and we couldnt have been better attended to by our lovely server

My girlfriends and I went for trivia last week and had an amazing experience! Shoutout to Owen and Neal!

My friends and I went to The Fortunate Fox for a quick drink before heading back to my friends UoT Innis alumni reunion. Let me tell you, the Caesar was amazing! It had a nice kick to it, and the garnish was delicious. The two pieces of bacon were crispy and paired perfectly with the pickled bean and cucumber. I wanted to order another one, but unfortunately, we didnt have enough time. PS. Thanks Don for the great sense of humour and fabulous service!!

The Fortunate Fox? More like The Unfortunate Fox, Extremely disappointing experience and the waiters are rude and annoyed by every single thing you do/ask politely. They did not accommodate one single request that we made (a couple). Very pricey for mediocre food, and trap house environment, definitely not worth it.

It s my birthday and my husband surprised me with a trip to Toronto, staying at the attached hotel. The trip in took a bit longer than we were expecting, and I was so hungry I said I didn t care where we ate, so he chose this restaurant. We came in and sat down, and a few minutes later a guy says not a word and puts down two menus. A few minutes later another man comes and fills up our water glasses, replacing one because I guess it was dirty. Neither person said a word. Finally a friendly young man comes and takes our order, and I asked if we could move to the newly vacated table because it was extremely dark. The wings didn t take long and were fresh and delightful, but no other plates were given to us though they knew we d be sharing the wings. Our food came out shortly after and it was pretty, but had no flavor at all. My husband grabbed a random waiter to ask for ketchup and hot sauce for the fries and a soda. Nobody ever came to check on us and see how everything was. I joked with my husband that I bet we d get their attention real quick if we tried to walk out. Well, after 15 minutes of waiting for the bill after a different waiter took my almost untouched fish and husband s plate away and we were about to accidentally find out. I went to the bar with my husband s card because I was tired of waiting. I put the credit card on the bar after asking for the bill from someone behind the counter. I put the total with tip on the card and signed the slip, then went to leave. This was the ONLY TIME it seems that we got quick service. The original friendly waiter chased us as we were going to the door saying I needed to add our room number to it to be billed. I seriously thought I paid. We went back to the bar and completed what I thought was done since I put the card right in front of the person who gave me the bill. My husband jokingly said well, you weren t kidding, we really did get their attention quickly! As someone who has worked in customer service for over 25 years, I wouldn t recommend this place if you re there for a meal and not there to drink and get bar type finger food. They seem understaffed or just don t care that people actually want a bit more interaction than tossing a menu in my face and not saying anything. Get a self serve kiosk at the door or on the tables if you want to not have to talk to people, you already have the signs by the entrances to seat yourself... You know, except for the reserved area of tables that didn t have people there for over an hour enter the time on the cards on the table stated. It really sucked that I spent my birthday here, but at least the 3 wings that ended up being my dinner were pretty good.

I was served raw fish and the manager couldn t have cared less to help resolve the issue and rather than being professional and helpful, this manager decided to give us an attitude and started rolling his eyes when I kindly requested to have my fish and chips cooked more thoroughly due to how it was RAW. Overall, bad food for such an expensive price, and bad unprofessional manager. Will surely not be coming back any time soon.

I went here to celebrate my 50th birthday and I am ideally disappointed with the service and food. I was not even offered anything for my birthday which was disappointing and considering how I spent all that money on that day, the least they could ve done was make the experience more enjoyable Overall I would have rather went to McDonalds instead.

Nice environment, tasty burger, really good fries (they tasted like they were covered in batter). Several screens where football was running. Pleasant service. Overall a great experience.

Food experience was very bad. Almost $30.00 chicken nachos was served on a aluminum baking tray, with the baked parchment paper - DISGUSTING - waited 45mnts. Quantity was tiny, no meat at all. BBQ Chicken pizza was burnt. Our kid was very hungry, so he ate it. Rude server.

Delicious food, great breakfast spot. Wish they had a Karaoke night to go with their stage area and new tv screen.

$23 for a martini? Who do you think you are? The $21 fried shrimp appetizer barely had any shrimp in it. Just fried crust. Wow. Food

Very friendly service, good food at a good price.

Amazing and friendly servers that will try to coax you into purchasing more items. But what a shock when you see the bill, especially given the quality of the meal. Ordered a cob salad, which came with a few pieces of chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, some cheese and 1 egg 45$

Overpriced, and lacklustre service. In hopes of finding an item of reasonable value, I went with their Tuesday taco special. The tacos were mediocre to decent in terms of taste, but the tortillas were smaller than any Id ever seen. 3 tacos felt equivalent to 1 or 2 at any other place. I was still hungry when I left. Our server was not particularly attentive, causing us to wait about 20-30 minutes for our bill after our table was cleared. Also, when we ordered, they tried to use that one trick where it sounds like theyre offering you an alternative side dish, when in reality you just need to pay extra to order a side that was not included in your meal. If money is of no object to you and youre staying at the hotel, maybe youll find this place worthwhile. Otherwise, Id encourage you go elsewhere.

A great representation of irish hospitality This is a high-end hotel pub with expetional cocktails. The halfprice wings on Mondays are fantastic!

Cozy spot, love the booths and games! Amazing service from Don!

I adore this place super warm, super welcoming, and Corey, the bartender can whip up some killer cocktails.

This place was an awful-smelling dive before the renovations. Now, it s high-end looking, yet still fits the university aesthetic with the wooden books on the shelves - much improved. The service was fantastic, with the server explaining the specials, catering to all the unique requests from our party, and even considering the pros & cons of the perfect cake slice for my friend s birthday.

Great place for brunch until 3pm after visiting the museum! Food was tasty and big portions, although there really wasnt much selection on the brunch menu

Waiter did not seem to be to happy to see a black guy ordering and my order was messed up. I do not like using this card but out of a total of 3 people who were getting served when I arrived how and why would my order be the one messed up? When i called back the server asked me if I could come back acknowledging his mistake.

Shane was a great bartender!! the service was outstanding, will for sure be back!

I visited here for drinks post work, and I wouldn t say it was ideal for that vibe. It wasn t very lively. I thought the drinks were ok, and food was standard pub food.

First time visiting this restaurant. I ordered fish & chips Clamari. Fish and chip are well crispy delicious, and calamari is super tender. I definitely visit here to eat calamari again. Good combo with beer. Nicely interior inside with many TV. Its good to see a hockey game. I would like to visit to have other menu.

Decent brunch place. An excellent Bloody Ceasar. The eggs Benedict on spinach is very good and the spinach is just wilted not boiled down to a mush. Service very friendly.

One of the best restaurants Ive been to during my short stay in Toronto. The most Friendly staff, delicious food. The place is cozy & clean (incl. Toilets). Was happy to dine here and will come if I ever visit Toronto again. Food

Confusing when we walked in, unclear if we were to seat ourselves or wait for a host - folks who came in after also looked confused as they walked in. The food wasn t very good, I had a lox bagel and the onions and capers were dried and the bagel itself wasn t the best quality nor was the lox. Similarly, my latte was drip coffee with milk but still charged as a specialty coffee, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was from a jug of concentrate behind the bar. Restaurant was empty and we still had to wait a long time until a server came to refill water, nobody came with our bills until after we asked twice - and the food was never cleared from our table after we were finished. Overall, would not go back and would not recommend when there are so many other options in Yorkville or even near this place.

Love the atmosphere of this place, it is a good choice to have a good time with friends. They are convenient located on busy area, there is parking available underground for a fee $10.00, They have DJ on weekends, this place is beautiful decorated, service is excellent, and they have good deals on drinks.

Food good. Service very very slow. Maybe not enough staff.

I goto this pub once a week or so. This time, absolutely terrible customer service. 2 of the servers shown in the pic were very rude. Was complaining about something and he literally said he doesn t see the point of the conversation.

Pub fare - a little bit of everything.

The place has a very good vibes, however, the service was really bad. The restaurant managers one of them i guess his name Greg had gave us attitude just because we changed our table after taking a permission. They even ignored us after, nobody has checked on us if we would like to order, it s like guys you have to leave. That was on Sat Mar 9th around 10 PM.

A decent enough place for a beer. The fox pilsner is pretty tasty! Not sure how the bill adds up but nice place all the same.

Good brunch but pricey

THEY CHARGE SERVICE WITHOUT ASKING! After paying for the meal and adding the tip, we realized a service charge had been added to the receipt already--the waiter never mentioned this and it wasnt anywhere on the menu. Definitely not coming back! Food

This place has such an interesting vibe but in a good way, it feels like it should be super fancy but my cousin and I did not feel out of place at all despite being dressed down, we chose our own seats and they had a good balance of having the bartender/waiter pop by to take our order for food and drinks and checking if we wanted anything else without feeling like we were being rushed out of the restaurant. I wish I could remember who served us, he was also working behind the bar as well and had a really great personality from what I experienced. I am definitely going to go back again.

Confusing entrance off Bloor. Didnt know if there was a host or seat ourselves. We had reservations, so . Liked the water options. We chose sparkling, and its opened fresh in front of you. Menu online is different from what is provided in person. For example, Caramel Espresso Martinis. The food was good, hot, and fresh. Service couldve been more efficient. It appeared they were down a few servers for the number of people that were coming in. The whole atmosphere is comfortable, and although we wont be back, we definitely recommend this place to others.

The aesthetic of the place is nice(even though my chair was wobbly) and the waitress was attentive and great! The food was definitely a low point especially for the price. ($24) I ordered the chicken slouvaki plate and though the chicken was juicy, the only seasoning it tasted of was strong cracked pepper and lemon. The side salad was tiny and inauthentic and the cheese had that slightly off feta taste. The fries were decent.The tzatziki wasn t too great. Unless there s some hidden gem on the menu I would skip this place for other restaurants around the city with better food! Dietary restrictions: My friend is gluten free and there were barely any options.

Little bit high price considering the food quality. But there are active atmosphere, and nice staff.

Restaurant open on December 25, public holiday. Good welcome, good food. Location visited on December 25, 2023. A little attention for children but this is not a restaurant dedicated to young children.

Delicious pepperoni pizza

Nice place!

Really nice food. Absolutely amazing service.

Had a great time thanks to the bartender, Corey. I was participating in Dry January, and Coreys skill in making delicious mocktails was truly impressive. He crafted me two tasty non-alcoholic drinks that made my experience just as enjoyable as if I were having regular cocktails. He made sure everyone was having a great time, constantly checking in with a smile. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great drinks, alcoholic or not!

We had a great dinner with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip which is a filling appetizer! Then we had the Fish & Chips and Chicken Souvlaki. The portion was huge and the taste were so authentic! The batter of the Fish & Chips is so good and it is one of the best Fish & Chips in Toronto. The chicken is so juicy from the Chicken Souvlaki! Looking forward to our next visit!

We were guests staying upstairs in the Kimpton Hotel and came down for breakfast. Our experience here was so lovely. The restaurant was quiet and we loved having a window seat. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the fruit was fresh. We found the coffee a little strong for our liking but likely many would find this admirable. The server was able to accommodate my husband who is vegan as well. We will be back for breakfast the next time we stay at Kimpton!

Walked in on a Thursday night, was completely ignored, nobody seating anyone, no one serving anyone, there were a couple people inside, after 10 minutes we left and we won t be going back!

The Fortunate Fox is a lovely spot in Toronto. Trivia Night is such a blast. A group of friends and I attended one night, and had the time of our lives. The host, Ari, was so much fun and made every category interesting and inclusive. Thank you to everyone, including the staff! We will definitely be back.

Celebrated New Years hear! Staff gave out free champagne. The DJ was amazing and the food was great! Restaurant is also connected to a hotel.

@jacob one best worker in Fox

service was great and a cute venue. the nachos were a miss but the spinach dip was great. they also have live music

The restaurant environment is cozy and comfortable. The restaurant is located next to Kimpton Saint George Hotel, which shared the washroom with the hotel. When we walk through the hotel lobby, the interior design is stunning. We ordered 2 pizza. The pizza toppings are delicious, including the mozzarella and pepperoni are full of flavour and aroma. The thick crust is special. It is as thick as ciabatta. We also got a Sunday Roast (med-rare steak) today, which is nice and value for money. The chicken wings are dark in colour which I would recommend something else. The servers recommendation of the merlot red wine from France is good for everyone to enjoy an early dinner today. Few GreenP parking outside the restaurant that I am very lucky to get one today.

Great upscale pub feel! Good for happy hour or a date. They had a good assortment of cocktails and friendly wait staff. We only stayed for one drink before a show but I will be back next time im in the area!

Food was good but was the service ever terrible on Jan 27. At approximately 11 pm, waited so long i had to seat myself. Server came and dropped cups only but no water. He came back like 10 mins later with water and no menus. Had to ask for napkins/cloths because the hispanic server forgot to bring it. Terrible service, he kept smiling and didn t apologize for everything he didn t do

Kind of expensive.

Quite pricy but good food and generous amount. Friendly and helpful staffs.

I recently had the opportunity to sample some of the signature cocktails crafted by the talented bartender, Parsa. I was blown away by the skill evident in each drink. Every sip was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The drinks not only looked gorgeous, but tasted even better. Parsa truly has a gift for mixology, and I cant wait to try more of his creations. I highly recommend stopping by and trying one of his signature drinks - you wont be disappointed!

I went on Sunday night, tried the Ruben with Fries. I loved the very professional service by Parsa. He was very warm, helpful, and lovely to speak. The restaurant also looked very clean, and well kept. I would like to visit again.

Their alcohol taste like water! Their servers are not friendly and food didn t taste good at all!

They spilled wine on us, the double vodka soda was extremely watered down, our server was going to fix it but the manager came and said that s how the drink is

Second time here and unfortunately I left underwhelmed and disappointed. Servers were all very good but the food left much to be desired. Both dinner and breakfast dishes were lukewarm and the breakfast was either overcooked or undercooked. For the price, I was left wondering if there was a problem in the kitchen or if this is the chefs idea of whats considered presentable. Someone needs to pay more attention to detail here. Sadly, I wont be in a hurry to rush back.

Awesome foods. We ordered medium rare steak and it really came out medium rare. Yorkshire pudding side is nicely done. Pizza is a must-order. Their super thick base rectangular pizza is not only eye catching, but taste real good. Wings are a bit too burnt for some of us, but I was ok with it. Service is ok, quite attentive (or too attentive), but always forget to get water for us.

One of the only restaurants open after 10pm on a Monday. Our server greeted us with a big smile and made us feel comfortable - like we were friends. There arent any gluten-free options on the menu, so I ordered the pulled chicken burger without the bun. The chef beautifully arranged all the toppings in a bowl for me so I could eat it with a fork instead. So thoughtful! Dietary restrictions: No gluten-free options on the menu

It was awful! It was a very quiet night due to a snow storm, and there were few customers, but even at the start, nobody paid attention to seat me for 15 minutes. I sat for an hour waiting for my $20 order of a total of 5 whole wings and a bowl of $14 soup. It all arrived cold. The staff were unaffected, unapologetic, uncaring and even said yeah yeah yeah when I said I needed them to hurry with the bill to leave immediately (since at this point it was already past 1AM and they had made me exhausted and late for the last train home.) The food tasted terrible, like it was made of salt and liquid smoke, and they hadnt even bothered to bring water. I wanted to throw up. $40. Nearly 1.5 hours wasted. Food meant for the garbage bin, and rude staff. (Im keeping it brief.) This ruined my whole night, and I have nothing but regret about coming inside. I want my time back.

Just went in for a late drink with a few friends. Nice spot

Its a good bar and restaurant, but the service was very very slow. We had to frequently remind the staff about our food. Prices do reflection the current high state of inflation.

Great joint! Definitely stop by for a pint or their excellent selection of cocktails!

Food was pricy, nacho platter with chili was $29, Meatballs were $16 and a Caesar was $14 but a 355ml/12oz glass of Chardonnay was $32. Absolutely unacceptable and gouging to the extreme when you can get the 750ml bottle of this Chardonnay at the LCBO for $19-21. Will definitely not be having dinner there the next time we visit.

I went to this place with my husband. I like the ambiance, the place is beautiful, stylish. I ve ordered fish and chips, the portion was huge so I can t finish it. I d like to give 4 stars for food since the fries was a bit dry Overall I like the place and will definitely come back

Very good place. Food is great quality and tasty although fries were kind of dry and chewy. Service is great and restaurant design deserves high rank

Great food, but I guess since they are on the metric system they think 6 wings is a pound and at $20 per pound I expected a full pound.

Was not impressed by anything at the restaurant. The food is way overpriced ($95 for breakfast, two burgers and fries) for the quality and portion size. A simple burger should be the same size as the bun IMO.

I came here on a Saturday night with my friends for a late birthday dinner. Surprisingly it worked out to be a good spot for hosting a special occasion! Location is easy to get to being around the corner from St. George station and a Green P parking lot. The menu is definitely more pub style as far as options go - but we were impressed but the food we tried including the taco pizza and salt & pepper wings! Portions were large enough to share in a small group. It wasnt too busy after 9pm and the staff was helpful & friendly about us bringing in a birthday cake from outside. They brought it out from the kitchen when we were ready for it and placed/lit a candle. The ambiance/ atmosphere is great - very cozy and cute with somber mellow tones. The back area where the bathrooms are has amazing lighting for photos! Theres a nice mirror wall and couches for group pictures (this area connects/ is part of the above $$$ hotel). Its nice that its tucked away in an area away from restaurant traffic. During the later hours a live DJ is on scene and the music was good!! Note - theres an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill for larger groups, they also have a one bill policy.

A group of us randomly checked out this spot. We immediately noticed how cozy the place felt and the delightful ambiance. They explained to us that because we had more than 6 people in our group, gratuity would be applied to the bill. All of our drinks were delicious and we all enjoyed the food. I ordered a moscow mule and the grilled salmon. Would definitely recommend it. They also have a small area with dart boards and games if that was something you were interested in. This establishment also has a washroom. We had an awesome server and overall a great experience!

Really amazing staff and totally impressed by the quality of the food!

I loveeee these. Also, They are close late. So good

The service is horrible and slow. Im here right now .

food here is absolutely delicious , I ve been here twice and might become a regular now, but what really made my experience incredible was our server Richard. I came out with two friends to celebrate a birthday and his attentiveness + his awesome bubbly personality really made our night. I don t typically leave reviews for restaurants but just because of how awesome he was I felt like it was needed! Cant wait to come back for great food and to experience his service again :)

Went in for dinner on a Friday night for my friend s birthday. Our server was Richard and he was perfect, very funny and just made the overall experience a memorable one! He definitely made the birthday girl feel celebrated and the rest of us also got to share in on the joy!!! Food was great, and there was live music so the ambiance was also amazing! Super cool spot 11/10 from all three of us who dined there that night, thank you again Richard :))))))

Not very British, kinda expensive and just felt odd.

Disinterested poor quality staffing. Food took far too long to arrive and wasn t as advertised in the menu. Used to be a lovely spot. Now just bad service and bad food. Very disappointing.

The food was good. They had a few screens showing soccer games, and there is also two dart boards. My daughter enjoyed learning how to play darts.

I had the eggs Florentine for breakfast. The ingredients were good but I dont think they know that Florentine means more than dry bread and a bare teaspoon of hollandaise. And I was only visited once by the waiter despite there being several staff and me sitting there the whole time without any water or coffee obviously seeking their attention. It really felt like I was paying for the bare ingredients, and was not worth it. I cant be bothered training people as a customer, this place is definitely off my list.

Had one of the worst experiences with one of the waiters (Monica). It took us an hour to get our bill from when we asked and kept dismissing us when we we tried to ask for things. Also asked for a to go for our food and never brought us back our food.

The food is alright, nothing too memorable. I ordered the fortunate burger with fries! I found the service slow because we waited for about 30-40 mins for our food to come out, so I definitely don t recommend coming here for lunch if you only have an hour maybe as dinner instead!

My friends and I stopped by this restaurant yesterday and it was the worst experience I ve ever had. The food took a long time to come out and when we had questions about the items on the menu or about condiments, the staff ignored our table. When we asked for our bill, it took 40 minutes before someone came to our table. Then, a worker named Monica told us we couldn t split the bill because it would take to too long and proceeded to passive aggressively tell us that splitting will take additional time. I ve never been told I can t split a bill at a restaurant it was utterly absurd and ridiculous but my friends and I complied anyways. When Monica returned to our table a century later, she asked why we changed our minds about splitting the bill as if she didn t have an entire meltdown about it earlier. My friends and I decided to do two bills, three of us would pay together on debit and the other two paid in cash. When Monica saw that my friend had only tipped 2%, out loud she said that s all? as if her service was worth more. Honestly I didn t think this place was even worth a tip but my friend was gracious enough to do so only to receive that kind of treatment. Finally, after we paid, Monica gave back the wrong change to the friend that paid in cash. The change was suppose to be $16.10 but she gave back around $12 and most of it was in loose change and one five dollar bill. This was completely unacceptable, unprofessional and even illegal. I was going to stay back and talk to the manager about the change but so much of our time had already been wasted and my group and I had to leave due to another schedule we had. Honestly the thought of writing a google review has never crossed my mind before until yesterday. However, the service was truly horrendous and I would never come back. The prices were outrageous and definitely not worth it with! If I could give this restaurant a 0 star, I would.

Awesome!

Went here for breakfast and had great food and excellent service from Mike. Bacon eggs sausage were all delicious. Coffee and pancakes were really good too!

Great pub food and quick service.

That Tuesday burger special is a DEAL a really good burger. Also had the paper plane cocktail and it was really good!

Superb!

Great place for trivia & fun

Delicious cocktails! Try the sours, they have so many tasty variations (cherry, melon, cardamom ) Will be back!

Coffee was beyond awful

Cosy atmosphere within the Kimpton St George hotel. Excellent breakfast menu including their delicious egg white omelette which has avocado, feta, quinoa, salad. A favourite that I keep going back for. Also a nice spot for a drink of an evening. Vegetarian options: Good veg options

We were staying at the Kimpton Saint George Hotel, and because we arrived late and we were hungry, we decided to check out the restaurant as it was conveniently located at our hotel. I read some reviews and had high expectations with some of the reviews I read. The vibe and ambience is nice, trendy decor. The menu is limited with gastro-pub inspired food. We ordered the popcorn shrimp, calamari, short rib poutine and fish and chips. The calamari was probably the best dish that we got, and the beef short rib poutine was decent. For the price of the items, the dishes weren t anything worth raving about- my husband was disappointed in the popcorn shrimp (didn t have much flavour and it was a bit hard) and his fish and chips. We had a couple of beers and I ordered the espresso martini which was good. We had a nice, friendly server. When we got there though, after 9pm, it seemed that the staff had guests who they were all familiar with, so it felt that the servers weren t as attentive to us. My husband had ordered a second beer and it never came out. At the end, our server was kind enough and offered him a beer on them for the inconvenience. Our server was attentive to us near the end. It was a convenient place to eat since it s below the hotel, but likely wouldn t return again. I would give this place a 3.5/5.

Good karaoke. We used YouTube to play karaoke videos.

Really great fajitas. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice stop for a late lunch.

Dropped by for brunch. Whether its because there was not enough staff or they were otherwise occupied, the service was incredibly slow even though the restaurant was not even half full. Food quality was okay, but the service was so slow I would not consider returning anytime soon

The Fortunate Fox is a delightful place! The ambiance is elegant and upscale without being pretentious, and the reasonable drink prices caught my attention, even though I didn t have any during my visit. The only drawback was the club-like music playing, which didn t match the vibe I was looking for. As for the food, I personally found the burger I ordered to be underwhelming, tasting similar to something I could get at a fast-food chain for half the price. However, the overall aesthetic of the space is stunning. I would absolutely consider revisiting with friends, as The Fortunate Fox has a lot of potential for a great time

Absolutely everything about the place was on point. Service was good, food was good, the place is loud and has music but not so much that you can t hear the person sitting next to you, just amazing! It cost me about $80 with tips for 2 with 2 soft beverages and I d go back again anytime! I will say that the restaurant was having a group when we came which made the service ever so slightly slower, but the general manager and our server both came to give us an update on our foods status, food was still hot and fresh when it came, 100% recommend!

Nice menu, cool vibes, my friends liked their mixed drinks (Im dry)

Absolutely the best. Great service, food and atmosphere. Great wine selection.

I absolutely love this place, the staff are super friendly and food is actually pretty good for a pub.

Really tasty fish, but the fries/chips were amazing! Brilliant atmosphere, bathrooms really nice. Ill come back very soon! Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is wheelchair accessible

Beers were all flat

Don t split bills even when there s no customers. No surprise it s so empty when you inconvenience patrons

Pictures online looked good, but the interior was kind of lackluster. Maybe because it was a Tuesday evening but there were not many people there and no music playing in the background which led to just a strange ambience. Despite the lack of background noise, our server spoke so softly and quietly that our group of 6 either didnt even notice he was there or we had to strain to hear him speak. When it was time for the bill, we got our servers attention (or thought we did) but he went and sat down with his back towards us to chat to someone. Took another 25 minutes just to pay. Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options. Only one main. But the vegetarian lasagna was actually delicious.

Greatest pub in Toronto. The best turkey club too . Great atmosfer.

I had a really bad experience with this restaurant and their service. While the food was mediocre, the service was probably the worst experience I ve had. The bartender/server with long hair sat our table of 6 right beside a speaker so for the rest of the night, our group was forced to scream to one another. When asked to move to an empty seat farther away from the speaker, the server responded no, that is not my section. I m sorry but why should our comfort as guests be at the expense of being in your section? To try to compromise, we had asked the server if he could ask the DJ to lower the music and his response was that s not really my job . So your job isn t ensure your guests are having a good time? We re requesting that the server asks the DJ to lower the volume.. we aren t asking the server to DJ the whole night.. If you want mediocre food with better service? You re better off going to a Kelsey s or Moxies where the quality of food is the same but at least you ll be more cared for while dining. I absolutely would not recommend this restaurant.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

It took 10 minutes just to get a menu and the restaurant was half empty. I guess solo diners arent a priority here. Server wasnt friendly. I will be coming less often.

Awful experience. Six of us were seated and the waiter brought us FOUR glasses for water. Had to ask him multiple times for two more, and it wasnt until the end of the meal that he brought them. He also forgot to bring a beer we ordered. Food was decent but small portions. After paying for the meal and adding as tip, we realized a service charge had been added to the receipt already--the waiter never mentioned this and it wasnt anywhere on the menu. Definitely not coming back!

Came here with the kids for lunch. Food was really good. Our server Don was just delightful and super friendly. We had steak, wings, calamari and Cobb salad. Everything came out on time and delicious!

happy with my meals.

Very poor service. We waited 20 minutes just for water and menus; it was not busy. We were asked to move tables because somebody wanted ours. Very lacking menu. Food : 2/5

Great atmosphere, they also had a section with Darts & Board/Card Games which added to the amazing service. Not to mention great staff, but also a big shout out to Jacob for making the experience even better! Amazing conversationalist with great humour. Thank you :)

I went on a Sunday night with my boyfriend, everything about the place was phenomenal. The food was amazing and our server Jacob was the highlight of our experience. He guided us through the menu exquisitely and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! I 10/10 recommend coming here with family, friends and even on a date!

Good drinks and fantastic service. Much obliged Jacob!

Been there a few times, really like the daily special. Jacob was always welcoming and helpful, always help us with different preferences for our drinks, really nice guy!

Always go there with a friend. Theyve recently revamped the cocktail menu! Jacob is consistently welcoming and recommends drinks tailored to my preferences.

not good!

Great spot! Great crowd, entertainment, food ...oh and the cleanest washrooms which is a huge plus in my books

The food was terrible. Crispy fish sandwich was freezer burnt fish and glued into an old bun with way too much tartar sauce. The dressing on the Kale salad was non-existent.

The food and beer were good, but there was a really loud Christmas party being rude and overly obnoxious. Nothing was done about it and it ruined the entire atmosphere of the place - especially as this venue is going (and pricing) for an upmarket gastropub. Our server was lovely, but Id avoid this place if too busy

My server was incredibly nice. When he had the time he would come chat with us. The food is good, pub food, don t expect anything fancy but for the price, it s reasonable.

Went for dinner last night and Amir was our server, really attentive and funny guy, food was great,

@parsa he good bartender honestly good looking guy and friendly service

Had an amazing time at the fortunate fox! Parsa created a great environment for us to join our night, I would definitely recommend coming to this bar !!!
