Am a local, and love the House. Never been disappointed with their food - their fries are probably the best in TO, and the steak frites is to die for - though I haven't eaten a meal that wasn't delish here. They have Blanche de Chambly on tap which is also a huge plus - was in Montreal recently and couldn't even find that luxury :) The only downside is that it is a bit of a victim of its success - when it is busy, it is crazy busy - lines out the door waiting for a table, and sometimes a bit of a long wait once you are seated. On a really busy night taking the option to sit upstairs can be a bonus, as the wait staff is up to check on you pretty frequently. Everyone should visit the House at least once while they're in the city!
