| - Since the death throes of Local 4 on Dundonald, I've been in search of a new watering hole to meet up with friends after work, some place I could linger on a patio on the weekend, and a place where the food holds its own.
To date, The Vic checks all those boxes.
Perhaps in response to some of the early reviews and comments, the staff have stepped up their game, at times almost hovering to ensure your every need has been met.
I have always had decent service, which will only improve with time, and the location can't be beat in terms of people watching.
I was last there Saturday for a late brunch, and a baseball team had taken up 3 or 4 tables outside, but my server was still on top of everything, including our orders.
My friend didn't appreciate the hovering service, but as I explained to her, the server probably wanted to get our brunch order in before the 3pm kitchen cut-off.
A full pub menu with all the comfort foods you could possibly crave complements their many beers on tap (I'm still enjoying the Mill Street Stock Ale on tap, a worthy step up from the Mill Street Organic).
If you want my best advice - and I offer this at my own dining peril - get thee down to The Vic Public House before the rest of Toronto discovers it over Pride weekend. Because once July rolls around, you will have to queue for a table.
