I've been waiting for Her Father's to open since the article I read in early spring. I LOVE ciders and had high expectations for HF. I went there to celebrate my bf's birthday and the staff made us very welcome. The decor and murals were beautiful with sun shining through the stained glass. The bar area has purple lighting which is slightly off-throwing but it works nonetheless.
Kira was our server and she was helpful in explaining the dishes and the different types of ciders. Very sociable! The shareable dishes were perfectly seasoned and plated beautifully, super fresh. We got fried chicken, devil-ed eggs, and the cheese board with crackers. All so soo soooo good. The portions are small but that's why you order many of them! I am already biased at this point and I have no shame in indulging in good food.
The cider samplers IS the it-thing to do as you can choose 3 samplers for $12. Shiny Pinot Noir and County Citrus were my favs! I can't wait to go to LCBO so I can stock up on those two. If you want to check HF out then you must make reservations because you might be on the third page of the waitlist, not kidding.
Recommend 100%, Worth all the hype :)
