The Gown & Gavel

I will never go to this place again we were there in a large group for dinner i never complain but this manager was so bad i have to the food took forever then the food tasted like it was out of a box horrible they need to get someone that knows how to cook the cook messed up almost all the orders raw food etc anyways we asked to speak to the manager and took for ever for him to come talk to us he was to busy talking to all the single girls in the place to deal with his customers when he finally got to us he was very rude and disrespectfull no appoligies or anything just said if we didnt like it we cld go some where else what kind of management is that? looks like the kid was 20 yrs old no wonder this place sucks hire a real manager we will never go back again or our company

Love this place now that it's been redone!
The service is a little slow, but not annoyingly so. If a waitress notices you need something, they get it, they don't make you wait for your server.
Nachos are good, they have great meal sized salad choices now, and the sandwiches were tasty.
The desserts were a little lacking....as in 1 of us ordered something they didn't have so she got her 2nd option but then when another girl came to join us and ordered the other girls first option they all of a sudden had it in stock...it was a bit weird but we still enjoyed every bite!

I love this place for the fabulous patio and the fantastic indoor decor! The Gavel has come a LONG way... The food was alright, the service was pleasant enough. There was a 'situation' in the kitchen so our food took a good hour to come to the table, at least we were served our drinks... Our waitress assured us she 'did not forget to place our food orders'. Either way we always have a great time here!

I was there on a date with my new girlfriend and What a hot spot it is the patio is huge and the reso must of costed mint. we were sitting on the patio and had a spin dip to start. Then eat pizza and jumbo ravioli which were to die for. I think if you looking for a nice place to hang out or go on a date go here

I just read all the reviews for the gown and I been coming here for years and I think this place is GREAT...
AS Every week goes by me and my group of buddy's head done to the gown and gavel for a meal we were there on saturday the 19th for a dinner right before we headed to the Kings of Leon concert (which was great) We all ordered dinner dishes I had the fish and chips with a LB of wings to start. My food came out fast and tested amazing the and the service was good I would highly recommend it O and the reso is nice

Bletch! RE: G&G's Food! Fun summer patio is all it's worth. If you want boring, and very salty pub food then G&G is the place to be. Otherwise a cold summer pint to "people" watch it okay. Love the renovations! Too bad the food sucks.

Started going to G&G as a 19 y/o Highschooler on my lunch breaks, or during spares. It was a great place to sit on a nice, big patio, sip on a beer and much on some delicious wings.

...Not so much anymore! In only 6 years this place has managed to give itself a major face-lift --for better and for MUCH worse!

Since the reno, which LOOKS great, the Food isn't even comparable to a good restaurant, and the service is disgusting (if you can find any). You'd think that since opening up the whole building, wait staff could have a great view of those coming in and out, but like other reviewers have posted, there's Zero Acknowledgement a the front gate.

C'mon, G&G! Get back to your Roots of fantastic pub fare, matched by fantastic pub service! Not Toronto 'pub fare' with Toronto 'service' (or lack thereof)!

Server was great, food was very disappointing, rocket scientists are not working in the back. Nachos were all mashed up chips.. C'mon guys, how much are nachos these days, toss out the bottom of the bucket and give people chips that don't look like they were shook out from the bottom of the bag. I asked for no cheese and cheese was added to my burger and only removed from the salad, was on a time crunch so had no patience for such simple errors. I am so annoyed when i get a frozen burger too, easiest thing to make... will spend my money where the food gets some love.

I went for a work get-together for lunch yesterday. There were over 20 of us, so we sat upstairs. Very nice atmopshere, clean, and plenty of room.

The number of us didn't affect the quality of the service. The waitresses were fast and courteous, and the cooks prepared the food quickly. Great service overall.

I'll only speak for myself when I comment on the food. I had the Mandarin Wrap and fries. I was satisfied with the taste, portion, and prep.

My "Maybe" for the visit again is due to location, not the quality of the place itself.

A few more menu items would help, too.

Overall, I was impressed.

The Drinks are way to expensive i will never go to the gown and gavel ever again!
