    Food came out hot and fast. Great portions, delicious scallop and yummy risotto. My partner had the gnocchi and loved every bite Chef Roy made us some tasty vegetarian treats that looked so good we didn't want to eat them but, we did and they were amazing. Great service and a nice atmosphere for our anniversary dinner.

    Everything was great, perfect. But it would be even better if we had some sort of complimentary chips because I understand that great food takes time to prepare and it did take quite a few minutes before we got our food.

    The food lacked flavour on Sunday May 7th. We had crab cakes and Mac and cheese sticks. The crab cakes weren’t outstanding at all. The Mac and cheese sticks were bland but interesting. Later in the evening we ordered room service of harvest bowl for the second night. 1st night was beautifully seasoned last night was disappointingly limited in the seasoning. Not enough vegan selections… Excellent service though.

    It was a quiet Tuesday night. The cocktails were divine. The tuna starter was really delicious. The steaks myself and my friend had were appropriately cooked, tender and generous portions (10 oz). The price for the amount of food was fair. This is not an overpriced restaurant where you go home hungry. We didn't have room for dessert.

    We went to Fathom for a Sunday lunch. My Eggs Benedict arrived tasty but cold. The service was good. The background music was irritating on some tracks without nondescript music and a thumping basis line. White nothing play ordonary jazz. Fathom is accessible. The hotel washrooms at that end of the building are not.

    The Korean Chef, Peter Kim(?) has created tasty Asian twists on a Canadian staple. Larger pieces of calamari are cooked to be tender and served with an intriguing dressing along with roasted Brussels sprouts (really). The sable fish was given a similar tasty upgrade along with some prawn odens (balls of prepared prawn meat). Great dining experience but bring your credit card.

    Food was very creative and impressively presented. Tried mostly everything on the Happy Hour menu aside from the Crab Cakes. My favourite was the Spicy Tuna Bites and the Milk Bun Rolls. In all fairness, I don’t like Humboldt Squid and should have asked what type of squid before ordering. I did not like that the Chicken Karage was served in a sauce and the Mac and Cheese Sticks were my very least favourite. The server was very attentive and cheerful and the ambience was cosy and not loud. Will return again to try the main dishes.

    Our party enjoyed the quiet, bright atmosphere for brunch, the comfortable seating and friendly service. However, the food was mediocre. The tiramisu pancakes were very disappointing: small, flattish pancakes with a sparse amount of the expresso mascarpone topping and chocolate. This could be a good dish if the pancakes were larger, fluffier and with more of the yummy toppings. The coconut chia pudding was pretty but presented in a very shallow dish and was also not a filling dish. The florentine benny was good as well as the crispy potato wedges. The cappuccino machine was broken. Coffee was not good, very weak. Server was very pleasant.

    FATHOMResponded on April 17, 2023Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and feedback; we sincerely appreciate it. We are disappointed that we were unable to exceed your expectations as we usually get fantastic comments on those two dishes. We have a new cappuccino machine on order and our current machine has been fixed so my sincere apologies for the poor coffee experience you had at breakfast. Thank you again for your feedback and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back soon! Kirk MacMillan

All our dishes our made in house and there are many steps in plating each dish so timing can be a little longer than some other restaurants. My apologies for the slower service and I hope to welcome you back to Fathom in the future. Best regards, Kirk MacMillan Director of Operations

    Had the tiramisu pancake which was delicious. Unfortunately, I went with a friend who is gluten-free and there were not many options for them as the potatoes had gluten in the coating. There was also no information online or on the menu about what options were available. They were able to substitute the potatoes with some tomatoes and provide gf bread at an extra charge. I enjoy the food there but most likely wouldn't return with a person who has a gluten allergy.

    Great service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great obeisance and settings, lovely decor. From drinks to mains it was all fantastic, best calamari we've ever had. Little clunky if you're trying to have an intimate dinner, tables are wide and seats feel far away, I moved to the same side as my wife, was totally fine. 10/10 would recommend, very premium
