We found this place while wandering around the streets of Yorkville.Next time we will be looking for it!We both had the Winterlicious menu offerings. Everything was delicious. The food was perfectly seasoned.They had a wonderful Scotch whisky selection, worth going just for that.This place brought us right back to our vacation in Scotland and IrelandOur server was wonderful, but clearly the team there works together very well. We felt well looked after.This was an amazing place and we will be back!

Delicious food. Wonderfully warm and cozy ambiance. Great staff, as they are super attentive and informative without being overbearing. Down to earth manager who really cares about the customers and treats them in a warm and sincere manner. Can't wait to go back!

Food and ambience was great. Love the old London pub look, really brings the UK vibe.Food for the most part was delicious, lots of traditional English dishes. The oxtail was perfectly cooked and the pudding soft and flavourful. My partner ordered the tenderloin medium rare and it came out raw. We sent it back to the kitchen and it returned a minute later looking exactly the same (see pic below). We sent it back again with the manager this time to have it cooked properly.The main reason this restaurant receives a 1/5 is because of poor customer service. Our server was quite rude to our party of 8. When we asked about specials he curtly replied that he would prefer to wait to go over specials until the remaining two people show up so he doesn’t have to repeat the specials twice. Sure, makes sense but also is it that difficult to present the specials twice? One person in our party asked for some salt and he replied that he was still going around with the pepper and would get to it after. He could just say “sure no problem”. It was just the tone and choice of words, there was always some explanation that we found extremely patronizing. Not to mention he lectured my partner about how an old fashion drink is actually made when we just asked for a large ice cube and not small crushed ones. I’m not sure if our server was just in a grumpy mood but it sure did rub off on our table, and frankly that kind of patronizing attitude is just not acceptable at a restaurant in Yorkville charging ~$100 a head.Slightly disappointed because I was excited about trying this London style restaurant.

4.5/5In my ongoing pursuit of Toronto's best fish and chips, I've visited notable establishments like Fresco, Sea Witch, and Old Yorke. Unfortunately, most of them fell short of my expectations, except for Old Yorke. However, a new contender has emerged that might just surpass the reigning champion: Oxley.Upon entering Oxley, you'll be greeted by an ambiance that effortlessly combines the elegance of a British pub with a welcoming atmosphere. The expansive back patio invites patrons to relax and enjoy their meal in style. With a two-story layout, it creates a secluded garden-like space that feels like a hidden gem.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the fish and chips. Oxley's choice of fish is the haddock.The delicate, golden batter encases the fish perfectly, providing a satisfying crunch. Unlike the heavy batter found at Sea Witch, each bite at Oxley strikes the right balance between fish and coating, ensuring a delightful texture and flavor combination.Accompanying the fish are a range of delightful flavors. A sprinkle of flaky salt enhances the natural taste of the fish, while a gentle squeeze of lemon adds a refreshing citrus kick. The tartar sauce, slightly thicker than usual, surprises with its light and tangy profile. And here's where Oxley takes an unexpected twist: their unique sauce, reminiscent of the iconic butter chicken, adds a captivating dimension to the dish. The fusion of vibrant tomatoes, warm spices, and succulent fish creates a harmonious and memorable flavor experience.Let's not forget about the fries, which offer a departure from the ordinary. These larger-cut delights boast a fluffy interior and a golden exterior, reminiscent of the chips found in authentic British establishments. Although they may lack the traditional crunch, their unique texture adds an interesting element to the overall enjoyment.While my search for Toronto's ultimate fish and chips continues, Oxley has undeniably made a lasting impression. If you're seeking a top-notch fish and chips experience in a welcoming setting, Oxley is an establishment that deserves your attention.

We stopped in for a drink while walking around Yorkville enjoying a winter’s evening. A warm and inviting space that just looked like the perfect choice when walking by, and we weren’t disappointed. We chose the upstairs bar and dining room, and got great seats. The bar tender was extremely friendly, and discussed our drink preferences as he educated us on spirits we had not tried yet. After a lengthy discussion about gin, he pointed out the two he felt I would enjoy the most, and I ended really enjoying his first pick. My spouse enjoyed a hard cider. We weren’t hungry enough to eat, but all of the food coming out for the tables looked very appetizing, we will make sure to save room for our next visit and stop back.

Best Sunday Roast in the city and also the best full English breakfast I’ve had in Toronto. Love it!

We came here for brunch and got the English breakfast and eggs Benedict. The food was okay and a bit pricey considering the eggs Benny didn’t come with any sides.The atmosphere and service were great though. We were seated outside in the back, which had a nice, cozy feel and the service was excellent.

the bartenders were super nice and friendly! some downsides however: they were hosting a private event so the only seating left was at the bar as the patio seats were filled as well. i recommend that you call and ask beforehand for seating arrangements. food was good (toe rags" dish was surprisingly good despite it's name) & beer was alright
