Firkin on Danforth

Fantastic staff and food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for neighborhood night out! The chef brought a cheesecake that was new and it was the best cheesecake I ever ate (and I don't even like cheesecake lol). Friendly staff and owner. Great atmosphere.

Went for a glass of wine and salad before a play last night. They had NO white wine in stock. Nada. I ordered the Kale Caesar salad. No kale in stock. I had the salad with romaine lettuce instead. Very blah. The buffalo cauliflower was tasty but would have been much crispier with the buffalo sauce on the side as it made the batter soggy. The servers were very good.

Having been going here for years but was left waiting for 30 minutes to get my bill and was only served when I was the only one left in the bar also didn't even get a napkin when I ordered wings never mind a wipe
Won't be back

The service was slow, mistakes in our order. Even the waiters were friendly and give us apologies I feel like they can improve.

Updated: the owner give us apologizes for the inconvenience and take our feedback, as a customers we appreciate that.

Besides that, my review about our experience will be the same, I do not like the food too salty for me and my husband, the waitress didn’t offer in the first place the wrong plate, we asked her to leave it to avoid the waiting time of preparation of a new different plate (it wasn’t a long time waiting, but we where there with kids), the cocktails were awesome I do recommend them and at the end of the night, even that the manager went to speak with me and apologies to us, to me and my point of view as a customer was that our friends visiting from other country, first time here in Toronto and as dinner we where hosting I feel bad that these was their experience, I have to apologies to them because if the situation.

I do think that there’s space to grow and taking this as a opportunity to do it better with all the respect and all the hard work the restaurant put it everyday.

We wish nothing but the best, hope it helps to the staff. Thank you for your service and understanding.

It's a decent place but the service leaves something to be desired. Staff seemed eager to close for the night, rushing customers and turning away others even though it was 10: 30 on a Saturday night.

Lovely afternoon drinks on the patio. Shoutout to Ian our server! You made our stay a great one, thank you

Great place to eat, and hangout for some lunch or dinner. The food is amazing, and the cocktails are great too. The Beyond Chicken Tender were amazing, and the Sammie Chicken Sandwich was great from what my girlfriend told me. Big shout-out to Mike, he was very welcoming, helpful with menu choices, and made the experience great.

Stay away. Stay far far away. We had been to this Firkin before and had a lovely time at the bar. So we thought we would try it again. What a disaster. Waitress came up with no notepad and then found some scrap of something to write on, firstly reviewing her previous table's order and jotting that down. The waiter that brought our appetizers literally shoved them on the table so that some calamari fell off the plate and onto the table. About 2 minutes before our mains are ready, they come out and tell us that they don't have any tacos for the fish tacos. Like you JUST realized this? We re-order fish and chips and they tell us that will be ready in 1-2 minutes. Sounds like the microwave is working I guess. The rest of our mains come out. We watch the staff have a laugh at the bar while 3 of us have our meals and the other still waits. Then our waitress reminds the waiter to check on our other meal. The place was practically empty so it was not like anyone was busy with other tables. Beers were empty and no one was checking on refilling them. The food was mediocre at best. And not cheap. 4 of us for $176. There are WAY too many restaurants in this city and nearby on the Danforth to ever go here again.

Despite some negative comments from one or two community members, my partner and I decided to try the Firkin on Danforth a few days ago. We were both pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service. Both were excellent!

After going there for years, being a regular who consistently overtipped the staff.
After receiving this message Is why im writing this review along with the fact that the server Shonie over-serves constantly (which I will be reporting), drinks and does shots while working.

But people do not go to an establishment to be judges and have comments like this made to them. I wish I could take back the hundreds of tips I had given this girl after she clearly doesn't care about the guests she talks to, she just wants your tip money.

Very disappointing that after her not following the legal SMART serve laws that she would on top of things make personal comments to guests.
