Prohibition Gastrohouse

Tasty but menu is very complicated and limited if you are gluten intolerant. Would have been much easier if they just had a loaf of wheat free bread. 100% rye or anything as had a hard time as waiters had no clue what was gluten free or what substitutes that might have been made to accommodate. Turned into nightmare trying to discuss options. Remember I was just trying to get some toast. Burger buns but no toast are GF.

My wife and I stopped by waiting for our interview at the Toronto Humane Society.

My wife had the breakfast burrito and I had the Le French Toast.

Both were very good. My wife lived her burrito. The sauce was the perfect touch to her meal.

My French Toast was different. A loaf with fresh berries and mascarpone cheese. Different. The loaf was a generous portion. May be too much for brunch.

Next time I will try the Mac & Chee

Food was amazing!! Drinks were fine and our server was nice.

The French toast blew my mind. They put chocolate covered bacon on it!! What?!? The bread was so tender and perfect and it was a huge piece.

The duck confit Benny was good but a little dry. The confit maybe was heated per portion which got rid of that nice duck fat moistness you would expect and it's in a biscuit so that added to the dryness. Still yummy just not what I was hoping for.

Back was perfect. Thick cut and cooked perfectly!

we tried this restaurant for the first time and had high expectations as we've heard allot of good things about this restaurant. We had a Cobb salad and pull pork nachos. The Cobb salad was acceptable but it was nothing special with very little leafy greens. The pull pork nachos were ok but we were disappointed to find allot of fat on the pull pork..... bottom line we wouldn't go back as there are allot of restaurants to choose from on Queen St.

Came here on a seemingly overly busy Tuesday evening.

Waited around 10 mins for our Hooch Hour beers, the only things reasonably priced here..

Waited over an hour for food, just burgers and a club sandwich.
I will say the waiter (tall skinny guy) comped us a free round and even discounted the food, good service to make up for it.

Reason for two stars regardless, is that in no way was my $19 burger premium in any way. Was it bad? No. But for $19 I should be getting lamb or something premium!

I'll get a shawarma next time..

Mixed feelings about this place. I have had some really good meals here and some that were inconsistent.

The Good
Their Happy Hour is awesome and they offer high quality pours.
The service has always been friendly and professional.
The atmosphere is fun and cozy.
The menu options are good and creative.

The Inconsistent
The food. Sometimes it is really good and sometimes not so good. I have had their burgers, Mac n cheese, flatbreads, etc and for each one, I have had them in really good versions and some where they were really bad. I recently went there for brunch and had the breakfast poutine. Probably the most disappointing meal I have had at this place. The poutine was made up of tater tots that looked like they can out of a McCains bag, three poached eggs which were OK, one cheese curd...and one tiny piece of bacon. I don't know what makes this a poutine or worth $14.

Wish I could give this place a better rating based on previous experiences here, but the last brunch left a bad taste in my mouth.

Visited on a weekday afternoon for a work holiday lunch and we enjoyed our experience.

I had called in advance to reserve and was directed to email. Courtney responded to me very quickly and I had no issues securing a reservation.

Our waiter was very sweet and checked on us the right amount of time. All of the food I tried was very tasty, especially the veggie nachos, fish + chips, fried shrimps, and saganaki cheese. Our team all seemed to enjoy their food as well.

Our mains unfortunately did not all arrive on time, which might have been expected as we were 16 people, so some peeps (including our VP) had to wait a little while for their food which was a bit of a hiccup.

Other than that small bump, we had a lovely time, we felt very taken care of and I would for sure return here someday.

Review is for the food only. Ordered the grilled cheese with home smoked bacon, and side of tater tots.

The grilled cheese was disappointing, considering the price point on it (somewhere around $16 incl the bacon). The tater tots were pretty good (they had real crunch to em).

Wouldn't return for the food.

Came for the Summerlicious dinner menu, $28 with a starter, entree and a dessert. The place itself definitely has more of a pub feel, they offer a bunch of local beers. Wanted to order the perogies, but since they were sold out, settled for the shrimp tostada for starter. Fish tacos for the main. Strawberry shortcake for dessert.

The shrimp tostada was a shrimp salad on a large nacho on a bed of avocado, topped with a shrimp. Pretty tasty, and good presentation, but a little small. The fish tacos came with two tacos and some duck fat fries. The tacos can vary in size, but were quite delicious. Fries were okay. My girlfriend ordered the truffle oil Mac N Cheese. The truffle oil really comes through, very strong flavour. Definitely worth trying. The dessert was kind of lacking. It seemed to be a shortcake made of store bought donuts. Not impressed here. Overall though, a fun meal.

Expect great drink deals (Happy Hour $5.09 drinks), decent food and below average service.

We enjoyed their fish tacos. It was good portion size and the fish was fresh. The fish was battered and fried nicely that it was not dry or too oily. The slaw was crunchy which gave the tacos a good texture. Only thing to complain about is there was barely any pico di gallo on our tacos.

We tried their truffle oil mac n cheese because we heard good things about it. Lightly breaded on top and you can distinctly taste the truffle oil in the mac n cheese. It was aromatic and had great flavours. They used penne for the mac n cheese and it was a little bit undercooked.

Their pulled pork burger was ok, not amazing. It was good portion size. Their fries were also ok.

For dessert we ordered a strawberry donut. It tasted like a donut that has been out for too long, covered in whip cream and drizzled with strawberry syrup..... would not recommend this and not worth it.

I came here with one other friend and we were both very disappointed in the service. The waitress basically ignored us for the whole 3 hours we were there... she was happily making conversations with the table beside us (even offering them a drink on the house for their wait on the food)... We also waited for 1.5hr before our food came out to us. She had her back towards us most of the time while she was talking to the other table.. It was hard to even get a drink menu from her and I had to call someone else for it.

Honestly the service we received makes it hard for us wanting to come back.... the only thing that would draw us back here is probably during their happy hour.

Came here for the summerlicious menu for dinner and it was pretty good!

For the appetizer, I ordered the shrimp tostado. It was like guacamole on a large tortilla chip. The flavours went really well together, but it was a hard tortilla chip to bite through!

For the main, I got the truffle Mac n cheese, it smelled and tasted pretty yummy! Although it was a strong and distinct flavour, I really enjoyed it!

Lastly, the dessert was a little disappointing. I ordered the cheesecake and it wasn't anything special - almost tasted store bought.

All in all, the service, atmosphere and food were good, but was lacking in the dessert dish!
