    I have loved this place and highly recommended it to my friends....Today we went for Sunday brunch at 11:30 am ....although the food was fabulous, the music was SOOO LOUD we could not talk. We asked 2 times for it to be turned down with no change. One of my friends had her fingers in her ears and my ears were hurting and my Apple Watch informed me of a LOUD environment. When we went to the washroom two tables at the back also complained but no change in volume. So we left and went elsewhere for dessert and coffee. The volume was as loud or louder than you would expect in a night club and certainly not during Sunday brunch, with families and multiple generations. I will not be recommending this place anymore which is too bad because the food is great.

    Server was great! She was very attentive and kind! The coffee was horrible! I don’t know if they switched the way they made it but it no longer tastes as good as it used to! I love the atmosphere here, I feel like ever since the management changed a year ago the quality has declined.

    Everything was great this evening. The only thing worth mentioning was my steak was warm, yet delicious. Our table needed a wipe down but our Server took care of it right away. We were a table of 7. We would come back. Cheers!

    I returned to Fox on John today after a not so great last experience at my last visit in October due to the deafening music. The $20.25 promotion brought me back in but I was dreading the music. To my surprise, the music was at a very tolerable volume, the food was great and a great deal of promotions! I may need to return for the bottomless brunch very soon. Fox on John, you may just have me back!

    I ordered the Steak and Truffle Fries, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were on point, and with their January promo, it was such great value for money. The service was also excellent—staff were very helpful and attentive. However, the music was a bit too loud for a brunch setting, making it hard to hear my friend, and the place felt a bit cramped, especially with the brunch crowd coming in. Despite these small issues, it was an overall great experience!

    We had a reservation for 7 pm and we got stuck in some traffic as we were coming from out of town. I called to let the know we'd be late and they said that wasn't a problem. We were seated promptly when we arrived. Our server Lawrence came by a few minutes later and we asked for menus. We didn't realize that you just had to scan the QR code on the table card. No biggie just the newer way I guess. We were there for their January special. All menu items capped at $20.25! And all wine bottles are also capped at $20.25. It's a great promotion especially with the no HST right now. We both ordered spring rolls for an app but we should have on ordered one to split. We are older and don't eat as much as we used to. Again no biggie, they brought us a box to take them home. We ordered a bottle of red & a bottle of white. Wine by the glass is $13 to $20 so it's a no brainer. We already inquired about taking any remaining wine home as one of us was driving. I had the Ribeye steak, usually $46 and my wife had the stuffed chicken breast, normally over $30 I think. I would probably have the strip loin the next time as I liked it better when we last ate there. Personal preference. Lawrence checked on us periodically, enough to make sure we were doing ok but not so much as to be intrusive. We ordered a chocolate almond brownie for a little dessert When we were ready to leave Lawrence re-corked our wines as per the law of Ontario (I believe). The bill for all this was $102. We tipped generosity and on the amount that the bill would have been. Please remember the servers are doing the same job when everything is discounted so tip on the regular prices. This is an upscale pub & sports bar. They had a DJ playing when we first arrived and we found the music a bit loud for casual conversations. I got less loud after the DJ stopped. Lots of tv's for sports. I would recommend Fox on John. Note.: I only drank red wine I still have 2/3+ of the bottle. Please don't Drink & Drive
