First time seated indoors. Nice vibe and less noisy than the rooftop. For a British pub kind of place very good and reasonably priced food.

Great place for cocktails, conversation, and elevated bar food. Cocktails were all good and as described in the menu. The lobster roll and thin fries were stand outs. Lots of lobster, roll toasted just right, and stuffed full. Fries were crispy and perfectly salted. Went well as a starter with the cocktails. Lots of varied seating and late hours.

We booked to eat at Hemingway’s on Christmas Day before we left England based on reviews and the fact it did a Christmas dinner! We had a fantastic experience / seated upstairs on the patio, the service was exceptional and the festive dinner was tasty, hot and plenty of it - and all for $23. Would definitely recommend eating here and if we ever come back to Toronto then we’ll definitely be back. 10/10
