The Blake House - Toronto, Ontario

I had dinner here on a Monday evening. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, even with a few booths, which was great! I had their signature burger and I'd say it was the best burger I have ever had! Our server, Jake, was professional and friendly. He made the entire ... experience so much better! One of the owners even came out to talk with us and to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. No that's personal service. I will definitely eat here again and again and I will be recommending this lovely place to my friends. Thank you to The Blake House for an outstanding dining experience!

Appetizers and drinks. The old fashioned was meh.... I know, I know, it isn't probably fair but it is the benchmark drink of civilization. The service was nice and the atmosphere was great. I'll give it another go in the future and order more than appetizers and drinks. The white sangria was ... apparently nice. Read more

Thank you for accommodating our group of 22 for dinner. We had a wonderful dinner in your private dining room and everyone really enjoyed the great food and attentive service! I highly recommend checking out the Blake House for upscale pub food in a lovely historic building.

Food Initially, our visit was motivated by Winterlicious, but a small oversight on our part led to the realization that it was offered only on certain days. Despite this hiccup, we embraced the experience and delved into their regular menu. I chose the Eggs Benedict, and it lived up to my ... expectations: light yet satisfyingly savory and greasy, filling without being extraordinary. It was a classic dish executed well. My companions and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals, finding comfort in the familiar and well-prepared dishes. Service Our server was a paragon of professionalism—friendly, well-informed, and eager to recommend his favorites. Despite the restaurant bustling with activity, he and the rest of the staff managed the flow with remarkable efficiency. Their hard work and dedication to providing a seamless dining experience did not go unnoticed. Ambiance and Decor The restaurant boasts a charmingly vintage ambiance that transports you to another era. Incandescent bulbs bathe the space in a warm, yellow light, enhancing the extensive use of wood and period-appropriate decor. It’s a place that feels like it has been a cornerstone of the community for generations, inviting patrons into a cozy, nostalgic embrace. Accessibility Prospective guests should note the presence of stairs leading into the restaurant, coupled with somewhat narrow internal passageways. This setup might present challenges for some, highlighting areas where accessibility could be improved. Read more

Decided to do a last minute Winterlicious night, we decided to try to call ahead to see if we could get a reservation. The person on the phone said there wasn’t but to come and they would get us sorted. When we arrived it was pretty busy and we were ... given a choice between the bar table or wait for a table that was going to clear up in a couple minutes. As we didn’t mind the bar table we headed there for our meal. We decided to get the salon and wild haddock fish cake and the traditional horiatiki Greek salad, Cabernet braised lamb shank and the vanilla cheesecake and baked toffee banana bread pudding. The food came quite fast, it was an ok portion for the appetizers. The fish cakes were good the jalapeño aioli had a big kick to it. The braised lamb shank was delicious with a great helping of mashed potatoes and beans. The dessert was delicious and highly recommend either one if you can’t decide to try each! The restaurant was busy the entire time we were there but wasn’t incredibly loud either at the bar. My one thing was that to check your receipt as the way the winterlicious $45 is spread out some items were lowered to add up to it but we were almost charged the normal price of the fish cakes which made the total not add up. It was an easy fix and overall a great nice restaurant for the value we paid for. Read more
