    Really good food and cocktails! My only complaint is that some of the cocktails and appetizers / shareables are really small for the price (and hard to share because they are so small). But the food tasted great and was presented really well.

    TWH social is a good option especially if you are staying at the hotel and you don’t feel like adventuring outside. They have good dishes and tasty options. Service is friendly and they try their best but sometimes they might look like inexperienced. Drinks are probably their strongest point with good selection for cocktails.

    The Mother’s Day brunch was fun, great atmosphere. The value for the meal was not good. For four people, our bill came to $270. That’s insane. Coffee and OJ wasn’t even included. Wouldn’t do it again.

    I wanted to go.to Charcoal but they were sold.out. A friend recommended TWH and we went. Liked most majority food was good but meat station rationed food and had to go up 5 times. The desert station was really poor. I get it its mother's day but not the value for what was there. Just saying book early and go to charcoal. I would give it another try but not for the cost. Staff was great btw very impressed with service

    Short rib was fantastic. Chicken was slightly spongey (possibly undercooked by just a few degrees) and lacked flavor and inspiration.

    It was okay.... Not as nice as an experience as we had hoped. Not even on par with "The Keg" if I must be honest. I recognize that things have been tough in DTK, but for the price and quality of the food I would have expected at least what the Delta delivers at "Proof".

    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!

    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!
