The Junction

About the restaurant

General Public is inspired by trying to imagine what an upscale English pub would be if it had the heart of an American brasserie (and was open 11 to 11). It’s also going to signal a little bit of steakhouse, but not too much. And finally, it will look behind itself at the Black Hoof, which you will see reflected in James Santon’s menu here and there. In terms of vibe, the main floor is ‘everything’s gone green’, with lush comfortable banquette seating, warm wood, and barstools designed for long conversations over many cocktails. Upstairs you’ll find a completely different space that transports you to a peachy 80s dream. Somehow these two halves make perfect sense, and complement each other in a seamless conversation, where neither wins the argument, but you really do have to see it! See you soon!

Everything was excellent! My party of 2 had a bar reservation for 845pm and we arrived a tad early but were graciously accommodated. The service at the bar was exceptional, our bartender took the time to learn what I liked to drink and recommended an awesome booze-forward Bev (Helter Skelter, loved it). She also took the time to make a thoughtful recommendation for our dinner— we ended up choosing a few salads (my chopped wedge was better than any wedge salad has a right to be) and the fries…my god, the fries. They are magic. Beyond that, the ambiance was perfect, playlist was the best, and the restaurant itself is just gorgeous (my dining partner and I were salivating over the gorgeous bar too — she says it’s onyx? I say a pretty marble? Whatever it was, whole vibe was perfect). Thanks for a great holiday meal experience!

This is a really cute little restaurant with great ambiance and service. We didn’t go until 12:30 for brunch, but they were great at not rushing us out the door. The food was well prepared and tasted great. My friend wasn’t that hyped the toast and pancake were gluten free, but myself and my other friend were happy. The portions were a good amount and the oat latte with vanilla was really good. I would definitely recommend this place, and will be back.

Yonge and Dundas Square

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

This is a solid spot for dinner. Creative menu with interesting takes on various small plates. Nothing blew me or my colleague away but each dish was good aside from the poke cone, which had too much seaweed and not enough tuna or other ingredients. Highlights were the cured Hamachi and Ragu lasagna. Service was very good the whole night.

As always we a great experience at ABH. During the holidays the decor and ambiance is really cozy and we tend to frequent it several times. On a cold and snowy day sitting by the fireplace and water is a must if you haven’t tried it! Food and drinks are always on point!
