    What a fun afternoon. The food was exceptional and the service second to none...and the drag show was exceptional...all in all the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to return!

    Great experience. Food was outstanding. Cocktails were well crafted. I hadn’t been since pre pandemic and I forgot how great TWH was… I’ll have to come again soon! Thanks for the great experience.

    We had a fantastic meal. Great service. Ordered the calamari appetizer and it was very good. Not rubbery. The short rib was excellent. So tender.

    The restaurant has a great vibe. Warm and informal but still great for special occasions. Our group of 12 was seated in the cellar room, which was perfect so that we could get up and change seats to socialize, play our own music and not worry about disturbing others. Jake was very attentive yet let us linger for the evening without feeling rushed at any point. And the food was delicious!

    Went for the first Monday Funday that had trivia and music bingo. We had a great time and the food was amazing! It was louder than usual because of the event going on but worth it for a fun night out :)

    It was a nice dinner and food was fantastic, but my table was located in a separate room of the restaurant, and the ambiance there was too bad; it looked like I was in another restaurant and lost the glamour of the real TWH, something to improve if I paid over 200 for a dinner

    Booked in advance for Valentine’s Day understanding it was a Price Fix menu. Arrived 5 min before seating and had to wait 10-15 min for table to be prepared. We were seated in an auxiliary room connected to the restaurant with zero ambiance (cold room, uncomfortable table and chairs, brightly lit) despite tables being available in the main restaurant. Waited an hour for entree to arrive after finishing our appetizers and server looked overwhelmed despite empty tables in our room and in the main restaurant. For the cost of the experience I would have preferred seating in the main restaurant and better service. We have been to TWS for dinner and had a better experience for considerably less cost.

    It was the Valentine Day special menu. Everything was special rather than standard fare. This duck confit baklava was amazing as was the risotto and seared scallops. My only suggestion would be to provide some mock tails for the ever increasing number of folks who don’t drink alcoholic beverages.

    It was uncrowded (superbowl day) and quiet the whole time (couldn't even hear the people in the neighbouring booth). The burger and short rib were delicious. Really great burger, and the bread pudding was excellent.

    It was a wonderful experience to have and my family loved every bit of it. We got some wonderful meals and got to take home leftovers as there was a lot, in a good way. Normally fancy places have little to nothing on the plates and TWH Social was the opposite. I definitely recommend coming here!

    Nothing but positive words after our dinner! Our server, Jake, was ON THE BALL. He recognized we were there to celebrate our mothers birthday, and immediately brought some complimentary bubbles to our table to start. The food service was very efficient, and the taste was superb. Jake additionally brought us a beautiful ‘happy birthday’ cheesecake, on the house, as the cherry on top to a fantastic experience. We WILL be returning. Thank you kitchen staff, and thank you Jake!

    Mauro? and the hostess were very attentive and totally on point. Walper Salad, Potato Croquette, Crispy trout and Agnlotti truffle pasta were as expected and yummy ...so yummy. Well done Kitchen. Starting our B-day celebration w/glass of bubbly was a really nice touch. Everyone should start their meal w/bubbly..lol Thanks for a great dining experience.

    Could not fault the food at all, but we visited on New Year’s Eve so the service and attention to detail was lacking. They were super busy and our cutlery was dirty, they brought the wrong wine out, and it was over 75 minutes until our main meals came out and it was only a 90 minute sitting. Apart from all this, the food was absolutely incredible, the flavours were pleasing to the palate, the duck, lobster ravioli and desserts were a major highlight! In regards to ambiance, I would say that the music was too loud (but it was New Year’s Eve, so this may not be the case, normally. We will return for the exquisite food and to see if they can redeem themselves, service wise.

    We loved our experience at TWH Social! Staff were friendly and attentive, and food was excellent. We brought our boys, 9 and 12, and they said their meals were the best they've ever had {children's burger and chicken fingers}. We'd highly recommend to others, and looking forward to visiting again soon.
