   We enjoyed an early dinner at the Workman’s Friend on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious and our server, Gabby, was delightful and helpful. The curried hummus, pub salad, cast iron chicken entree, and Guinness chocolate cheesecake were excellent (we split the chicken entree). The restaurant is boisterous in the bar area, but cozy in the dining area that includes a fireplace. We will be back.

   Jazman we are so sorry to hear that you weren't given great service here when that is our number one objective. Would you mind following up with more details so that we can improve our service next time? Cheers -Tanner

   Cute, genuine, non-chain place in a nice block of restaurants and unique shops. Well above average food. I had excellent potato gnocchi.

   Had a wonderful meal with family this morning. Everyone enjoyed the drinks and delicious food. Service was very good. We were on our way to the Expo Center, so appreciated the fast and friendly service. Will come back with hubby for dinner.

   We ordered the fish and chips and the shepherds pie. The food came out hot and very good. I personally like my food a bit more seasoned but my husband said the fish and chips were seasoned perfect. Our waitress and server were fantastic! They have a cozy fireplace towards the back where you can dine as well.

   The fish and chips were not up to par. Fish was tough. How does fish get tough? And the fries were not cooked all the way through. Prices high as well. 6 of us got fish and chips and workmans burgers. 3 beers. After tip, $200. For lunch? Liked the atmosphere, service was excellent, beers were good. But we'll have to save up to come back.

   David, I am so sorry to hear this was your experience. You should not have to pay for something that was not up to your expectation or ours for that matter. Thanks for following up on your experience so we can handle this matter and correct the issue. I hope someday you can give us another shot. -GM

    Group of us girls met for book club night here and we all enjoyed it very much! Great location.

    Randi so glad you enjoyed your book club meet up. Next time give us a heads up we have a small room in the back with a fireplace that is the perfect setting for a book club gathering and we do not charge to use the space. -GM
