In Regards To Your Response: Maybe you should get a new job as cooking is clearly not for you. If you valued your customers than you should have not put out the quality you did and corrected it yourself before it reached the table. Also, based on some of the most recent reviews, I'm clearly not the only one who has a problem with the quality either. I like how you believe that your mistakes should fall on the customer. I've gone ahead and attached a picture for you of some of my food that is clearly burnt. Thanks for coming out with your rude response as I was just giving an honest review. Now people will also know that you clearly don't care at all and with that attitude? I'd highly doubt you would have corrected anything. Now you get 1 star. They brand themselves high, but very mediocre food. As someone who both cooks and is a food critic I must say I was surprised at the low quality for the price. 1. Garlic bread they claim has loads of cheese, didn't have much at all but was fresh so you basically paid $11.50 for a loaf of bread. 2. The mussels were delicious this was their best dish, however, they were very small mussels and at $16. Other places offer the larger ones for this price. 3. The steak was very plain for something to apparently have butter, the pasta and parm was very plain and nothing special and the French fries were not fresh at all and the vegetables weren't even steamed long enough. Parm dinner $20 Steak dinner $30. 4. The server was absolutely fantastic which is the only reason for the two star. Conclusion: Around $96 for the dinner that was mediocre at best. I'd recommend adding more flavor to your dishes (spices and change the ingredients) and lastly if you make a claim on your menu ie. loads of cheese, please do so. Probably won't be going back to give it another chance after that price and quality and it's very unfortunate as I was looking for a new go to place. Best of luck :)

Went to the Forty on a Thursday night and had no idea it was trivia! So much fun. Maddie was our server and she was so great. Energetic, engaged and on top of everything. The chicken tacos were a bonus on top of a great night! Looking forward to going back

Our visit was Friday December 1. Hostess was very accommodating. Waitress was good. My wife and I ordered the fish and chips. The portions where very good, however, the fish batter was over done and very crunchy leaving the fish dry. The fries did not appear to be hand cut as advertised and very over done in clearly oil that was burnt leaving them with a very bad taste. Hope this helps the establishments kitchen practices. Not in any hurry to go back.

My husband and I have been coming to The Forty literally since the first night they opened 8 years ago and we love it! The staff are amazing, the menu is huge, the food is great. We love the pretzels, steak sandwich, wings, lobster macaroni, and their salads! Also, huge shoutout to their house made daily soups! They are delicious!! On the weekends they have live music playing that sounds great! On Thursday’s they have trivia. It’s just a great pub to come and hang out and unwind for a couple of hours. We highly recommend this place if you want a good meal at a comfortable, cool neighbourhood pub!

The staff was friendly and provided good service. The vibe inside was pretty good for a bar. We ordered chicken wings and some beers. The wings were not good, I would not recommend them. They were un breaded, over cooked and of poor quality. The beer selection could improve. They were missing many staple beers that a majority of bars offer. We will be back to give some other menu items a chance.

Great pub atmosphere with a solid menu. Had the lamb shank with beet and goat cheese salad. The lamb shank was perfect. Overall, I recommend this place for a get-together with family or friends.
