    We love going to Tin Fiddler, the menu is unique and the food is always delicious. Tonight it was quite busy, so it made service challenging for the staff, but they came through and we had a great meal before the show at the theatre next door.

    My wife and I had heard many great things about the tin fiddler. We finally decided to try it out on a Friday evening. My first impression was fairly positive as the use of open table is very user-friendly and convenient. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. Our first impressions of the tin fiddler are warm and inviting. A classic pub feel which was to be expected. Unfortunately to our dismay, we were sad in a separate space completely devoid of any ambiance or atmosphere. To add salt in the wound, the server was not accommodating and wasn’t willing to shift us to the main room. I questioned as to how those tables were reserved. Any differently to wish her reply was they must have called in and asked for something specific. It would’ve been nice to know that when making the reservation as I assumed based on my reservation that we would’ve received a booth. The high top table and stools were wobbly and visibly in rough shape. My wife ordered a bowl which she quite enjoyed. I was feeling a little indecisive, so I thought it would be safe. Going with a burger. It’s described as something I’ve never seen however it was a extremely overpriced $25 burger and Caesar salad. We ordered two margaritas, which were quite tasty as well. Our server, despite not being accommodating was attentive and polite. Overall, I would say that I was disappointed. I don’t plan on going back anytime soon.

    The Tin Fiddler was a great place to eat prior to our event at the library. Service was friendly and quick, food was tasty and the surroundings were inviting and full of energy!

    Great food, great atmosphere. Was very loud once the open mic started but hard to complain with such talented musicians playing, just hard to have any conversations once the music started. This is a regular place for me as it’s very constant in the quality of experience was time I go.

    Amazing! Service and attention to detail are next level. Food is creative, elevated and delicious. Ambience is incredible. Drinks are unique and inventive. We will definitely be back even though it is a 2 hour drive from where we live. Sarnia is so lucky to have such a fantastic spot!

    Chicken wings were very dry, onion rings had NO salt. Drinks were great, and ambience and we love going. Just disappointed in the food

    We live in a small city. Our choices for restaurants stand out because of that. We like Tin Fiddler, it’s close to the theatre, the food is house-made and delicious with a unique menu. The staff is always very welcoming and happy to be at work.
