Hemingway's

Worst service, worst food ever. We had a reservation. There for four of us. Our food was delivered separately so we did not eat together. The food was awful. While we sit outside, that was the only thing we liked. The salt and pepper and ketchup was all gross smothered in goo so when you picked them up you thought they were so gross. We had to wait for cutlery EACH time they brought food. Disgusting. Considering this is in Yorkville, I thought it would be a great place ! Not !

My food came with a hair in it. Disgusting. But the wait staff apologized and replaced my order and took it off the bill. Still I found it difficult to enjoy my meal after that

Great wait staff - positive attitude, engaging and an awesome smile. Food can quickly and tasted very good. Will be back!!

Hidden gem in pricey Yorkville. Genuinely friendly bartender and waiter; good selection of beers and the food was very tasty.

Top deck was very noisy. Chicken wrap was good but not exceptional.

A good affordable patio in downtown Toronto. The views aren't great but the ambiance more than makes up for it. The menu is vast, so it's perfect for a group with different taste buds. The food itself is good, nothing amazing. I'd come here again to hang out with friends who all want to eat something different.

We were staying in the area so came twice! Love the kiwi theme. Particularly nice on a hot summers day. Great atmosphere and service.

loved the airy patio seating with easy views to game on tv. $5 mimosas, caesars, and bloody mary’s can’t be beat!

Dont reccomend. Bad service and food. Maybe it was the day or maybe try other restaurants in the area?

We opted for the this venue as our home base, to watch the Final Game of the FIFA Women's World Cup Series. We had many Friends and Family visiting and staying in Yorkville Hotels.
So,we chose the 'Upper Deck Patio" and since our group was fairly large, we were spread out across several tables; all with a great view of the Game on the many 'Big Screen TV's'.

Awesome Food combined with Superb Service (With that special 'Kiwi Twist').

BRAVO !

Made our reservations with friends. We have been going there for decades and as always the food is nicely presented and the value is good. A mixture of ages frequent this place. Our friends give it a thumbs up.

Great hostess' and servers. Excellent food and great environment!

Food was great, and it was a perfect place for a Summer Date Night! the lamb burger was fantastic, calamari just right and the HFC was crispy & tender.

Fathers Day

We were there for lunch on Saturday. The place is very nice, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the ambiance is very pleasant. Next time we will sit at the patio, weather permitting.

Great spot in Yorkville - patio tends to get pretty packed when the weather is good but servers are accommodating and attentive. Never been disappointed by the food or drinks and always had great service

Very relaxed atmosphere. Good service. I had a salad that was very tasty.

Been going to Hemingways since 1999 - great food, good beer selection and just an overall awesome place to hang out. Understated for Yorkville, which is a selling point!

This was my first time at Hemmingways and it was amazing the staff were so kind and the atmosphere was wonderful, I would 100% come back again and i would definitely recommend this place to my friends. The food was amazing and was brought out quickly which is rare in some places (A+). And the prices for everything were very reasonable. Overall I had an amazing time!! Thank you Hemingways for being wonderful!

Disappointed by the fish taco. Wrapped in a fajita wrap, fish undercooked

The good food, location, and service makes Hemingways ideal for a cozy lunch with friends and colleagues.

A friend and I went to Hemingway’s for brunch. The food was good and the staff were friendly. Service was fairly quick.

Service was good, the only small problem was there was so much tables set out waiters were bumping into my chair everytime they had to attend to the other tables. I felt cramped in

The place was packed and it was so noisy I couldn’t hear myself think. In summer with the roof open it should be better.

It was fine - food was good, price was reasonable and service was very good. Typical road house food, and fine for a get together with friends. Was very convenient after a film. We had a nice time.

Excellent fried chicken. As long as you're ok with a pound atmosphere it's a good place for pub style food.

Good food at a good price, with nice and efficient service. Perfect for a quick or long lunch with friends.

Service a little bit slow but other than that a cool spot

Went to Hemingway's for a hockey game. It was promoted to have the game playing with the volume on. The volume kept getting turned off or so low to a point where you couldn't hear anything. It turns out that a group of people did not want the sound on. The manager did a poor job de-escalating the situation and it was frustrating and disappointing that one table could dictate and change the plans that the restaurant publicly announced.

Service otherwise from the servers were good though. It LOOKED like they were understaffed, but were still timely with taking orders and bringing drinks.

What a great spot for casual eats and good energy in the middle of Yorkville. The heated rooftop patio is such a win, and our server was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. Service was extremely fast and portions were generous. I would say that my famous HFC (Hemingway's fried chicken) was a touch overdone, but the meat was still juicy. Their vegetarian fajitas (came recommended) were plentiful and loaded with amazing sauteed vegetables.

Overall, great find and we would love to come back again.

Good food, very good value, service was fairly quick. Fun atmosphere, louder ambience

Food is amazing, service outstanding (thanks Vicky!) one of my most favourite places!

The service is very good but the food isn't. I ordered a steak which was tough and the vegetables served with it needed to be in the steamer for another few minutes.

Because the main floor dining room was being used for some goofy trivia contest, we were seated on what is a rooftop outdoor patio in summer that has a vinyl roof over it in the winter. The electric heaters were not adequate to keep the room at a comfortably warm level on a consistent basis. We complained several times to our server who said she told the manager but nothing was done. As soon as we ate, we went elsewhere for a drink.

Worst service I have experienced in a long time. Impossible to track down the server, unable to order additional drinks in an appropriate amount of time. Drinks came out at different times for different people at the table. Food came out with sides that weren’t ordered (if there is an option, guests should be asked what they prefer). When food was sent back for this reason, the chef (?) Or other server who brought out the replaced meal was just plain rude. I’ve been coming here for 15 years and this was my one and only bad experience yet I have no interest in returning. Hire new staff.

Service was great. She knew her stuff and was very friendly.
Could put some healthier options on the menu. But it is what it is.
Overall, good.

Great place to come for food, ambiance and service. My only disappointment was the fish in the order of fish and chips I had. Old, greasy batter and little fish. But overall food was very good. Will definitely come again on my next visit to Toronto.

The service was outstanding (our server was Kevin). Food was delicious and the ambiance excellent. Will come back for sure.

Great breakfast, rugby game and value!

Hemingway’s was a cheap and cheerful way to spend Valentines Day. We were looking for somewhere close to the theatre we were going to and didn’t want to spend a ton of money. Hemingway’s didn’t disappoint, the food was great, the wine was delicious and the service was excellent.

Very mediocre experience. Main dining room was closed for an event, so was seated upstairs. Terrible atmosphere with plastic patio furniture. Host sat our party of two at a tiny table when all other twos were at four tops. We were moved to the empty table next to use only when it was obvious our dinners wouldn’t fit on the table.

Server was nice, but completely unhelpful when choosing beers. Food was almost institutional in presentation. Would not go back
