    Loved everything about the place. Food was so tasty- I tried Buttermilk Chicken. So was their dessert- Creme Brûlée. Highly recommend. This was a work dinner so I couldn't fully focus on the festive. I will definitely go back.

    The brunch food, service, and decor were good. However, I am a bit surprise that a zero proof iced tea/lemonade cost almost as much as an alcoholic beverage.

    Whenever we are in Toronto, the trip includes a trip to Her Father’s Cider. The food is always creative and top notch! You cannot find cider paired with food at this level ANYWHERE! Ask for your server’s recommendation and go with it. You are in good hands.

    Food was good, love the family style dining. Service was ok, could have been better. Cocktails are to Ice froward. Flavorful, but o don’t need a glass filled with ice. Ciders and beers on tap are plentiful and tasty. Overall I would come back for another dining experience.

    We had a lovely birthday lunch! We had flights of cider, and both the food and service were excellent. No boring ho-hum food here, my Chicken and Waffles were really delicious and unique, and the standout for my partner was the Earl Grey Creme Brûlée for dessert. We'll be returning to try some of the premium ciders from their extensive selection. Thank you for making my birthday special!

    Beautiful restaurant and brunch on the patio was very pleasant. A little pricey for standard eggs Benedict, but it was good. The latté's we started with came in a small cup and they were cold, but it was a hot day so no worries. Home fries were nothing special but okay. Fried chicken waffles looked beautiful and my friend really enjoyed them. The service was good and I would go there again.

    I say service was poor not due to the individuals working, rather the amount of staff working. I have been now four times and every time it seems like they are short of staff. Unsure if this is a management problem but the staff seemed stressed due to the lack of staffing, which is so incredibly fair. Due to this service was EXTREMELY slow. Not a one time things as said previously I have been many times. Hopefully they can get more staff soon, as service quality is being damaged as well as the staff's stress levels and enjoyment.

    We had an excellent dinner. The charred eggplant with tahini was outstanding, and everyone loved their entrees (burgers, flank steak, and the perch in. A creamy sauce). The patio was perfect for the weather, and the service attentive without being intrusive.

    Good experience. The service was slow as it was a nice evening and the patio was full, but our server was attentive and great at remembering our order. Some dishes are tastier than others but appreciate the creativity of the menu. Great place to catch up with friends over dinner & drinks.

    Cute spot with seasonal menu, and rotation of ciders. They've added beers and seltzers to their menu, which is quite fun! Definitely recommend getting a flight of 3 so you can try the large variety of ciders they have.

    Oysters were extremely small - $24 for 6. (Out of season, I know, but if they're on the menu they should still be decent). Tomato small plate was *very* small, way over-priced. Essentially one small slice of bread with a mouthful of cheese and some tomatoes. Perch dish was literally 2 bites of fish, 2 strings of asparagus, and some mash. Over 20$ dish. Lamb Ragu pasta dish was decent, but still a $32 pasta dish, not exactly overflowing with lamb to explain the price. Service was good, wine was nice. Overall, fairly bland food, very small and overpriced portions, I would not return to this restaurant.

    The server kept pushing us to order when our entire party wasn't even there yet. I felt rushed and under pressure. Although the server warned us that the tuna crudo was a smaller dish to justify the cost of almost a full entrée. I felt the cost vs. quality did not meet my initial expectations. It was nice to have secured an inside seat to hide from the summer heat.

    I have been to HFC many times, I regularly recommend it to friends, and I enjoy it every time. This time was no exception, except it looks like our waiter was either tired or inexperienced (didn't know much about the draught beers/ciders options beyond their names, had trouble splitting the bill, had to make us repeat stuff a few times, etc.). Of course I forgave it and tipped normally, but I figured I'd let you know!

    The service was great and we got some good recommendations on Cider. The Patio was very comfortable too. The brussels sprouts and eggplant were delicious but our focaccia and sourdough hummus was not. We didn't get any sourdough and the focaccia and dips were both disappointing. Overall the evening was great and we will be back. The service and selection of ciders make Her Fathers a fun night out.
