| - I had a splendid experience here! I came with a couple of my coworkers to celebrate my birthday.
First off, I LOVE the location, in the basement of the iconic flatiron building in T.O., accompanied by a little, well-lit patio running along the side of the building. We sat inside, and although it's in the basement, there is still plenty of natural light thanks to the fact that they have huge, open windows....a cute little dog even tried to enter through one at the bar area haha! There are TV screens everywhere as well, so if you even want to just come in for drinks and watch the game, it's perfect!
We sat in a little booth, our server was fantastic, very down to earth and personable (I wish I got his name!).To start, we got drinks- I tried the blueberry lemonade which I thought was great, not watered down and not too overpowering- plus an order of fried pickles. The pickles were amazing, great size, and accompanied with a chipotle mayo, an nice and hot too letting me know that they were freshly made :)
For my main, I opted for the Sheppard's pie, figured it'd be a safe choice given that this is an English pub. I was not disappointed, it was served in a little skillet/pan, and had some traditional veggies on the side. There was a little container of gravy to top it with as well. Our server even came with some freshly ground pepper! Bonus Points for sure :D I was very satisfied with the pie, no regrets with my choice.
Once we were done with our meals, our server came out with a complimentary sticky toffee pie (an English staple) for dessert, and it had a cute birthday candle in it! That made my night haha!
I had a great time here, and if you're in the area, it makes for an awesome dinner choice, or just a nice casual place for some drinks :)
