    We hosted our team Christmas party at this location and had an amazing experience. From the service to the food and drinks, everything was incredible. From the unique combination of flavours and the quality of ingredients, we couldn’t recommend it enough!

    The appetizers were delicious although ask about the spice level before you order. The shrimp dish was good but if you order it for an entree you need two side dishes. We shared a dessert which was not a dish we would order again. Our server was lovely.

    My fiance is a celiac so we came here for the string focus on gluten free foods. The food was absolutely delicious. We had brunch beef sliders, fried chicken and waffles, and home fries. The cider list was great, we settled for a black dog cider (strange and delicious - we highly recommend). Excellent service and experience. Will come again!

    Very tasty and creative food, with superb service. I hit my head hard in the basement restroom on a bulkhead six feet off the floor above the urinal. Somebody had painted the bulkhead the *same colour* as the wall, unwittingly camouflaging it. On closer inspection I could see that for a couple inches around where I hit my head the paint had been gently worn away -- surely by multiple other headbutts from diners over six feet tall. I told staff that the bulkhead requires a warning sign or similar ASAP.

    My friend and I shared a delicious dinner and drinks here last night! There was just one man serving the dining room as it was a quieter Sunday evening but he expertly tended to customers and ran food orders. He was very patient as we decided what to order, offering suggestions and thoughtfully answering our questions. The crispy brussels sprouts with bacon and maple and cheddar… mind blowing! Sweet, savoury, fatty, crunchy… They got better with every bite and were nicely contrasted by the other dish we ordered—the mint and basil bucatini. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the almonds added a nice crunch, while the ricotta salata contributed a subtle creamy element against the sharp flavours of the herbs with the whole dish rounded out by some hot, possibly pickled, chili peppers. Our drinks were yummy! My friend got the flight of 3 ciders whereas I opted for just a glass (which was filled to the brim with delicious bubbly sour Ontario plum cider). The portions were generous and the restaurant was warm and cozy. I only wish the music was not so loud—we were sat directly below a speaker. However, the music selection was well-curated! This restaurant is consistently good in terms of food, service, and vibe and I highly recommend it!

    We have been dining her since they opened. It’s great to experience the thoughtful new items that have been added to the menu whilst we continue to keep the fan favourites that we love. We don’t drink alcohol so we don’t partake of their extensive cider selection. I can only imagine that those that do, enjoy the full dining experience all the more.

    As a New Yorker, I am relatively used to great ambiance, with good food and good service. It's the third time I have come to Her Father's Cider and it's always my first option when in Toronto. The food was superb, the selection of cider was above anything else I've had before, and the service was simply perfect! This time I hooked up all my local friends to this place. LOVED IT the first time I visited 3 years ago and still love it every single time.

    A beautiful warm fall evening for three people to catch up on the patio after three years of not connecting except over Zoom. It would have been a pleasure under almost any circumstances, but the cider and food at Her Father's Cider Bar doubled the possibilities...as it has done in the past. So much has changed as COVID has done its damage, but it's wonderful to find some things that have staying power!
