Nourriture délicieuse mais froide. Service lent. Cook sans filet à cheveux et les cheveux long donc me suis retrouvé avec cheveux dans mon assiette. 🤢. Lorsque mentionné à la gérante, aucune compensation offerte.

This was my first time dining at The British - the food was delicious, the server was exceptional however, the outdoor music was too loud to have any conversation with your friend(s). I have already recommended this restaurant to my family and friends.

Beautiful heritage building, put to good use. The patio is also very charming. The menu is limited. We had fish tacos which were excellent. I was disappointed with what they call a strawberry shortcake. Although it was strawberry season, the cake looked and tasted like a layer cake you purchase at Costco. Still…i recommend The British and will come back.

We had quick service but our friends who came later had to wait nearly 2 hours for food. Hopefully this is not a regular thing.

The main reason why I made reservations was that I was with my 76 years old mom that cannot stand up for long periods and when we got there we were told that the reservation system (open table) was not working so we had no places to sit down. My mom had to stand up for hours during the event. It was extremely disappointing especially when you take time to make reservations days ahead…

Nourriture vraiment ordinaire. Spectacle de musique à 18h avec un niveau de son agressant. Nous étions un grand groupe et avons voulu quitter. Bel endroit mais le reste ne vaut pas le coup malheureusement. Première et dernière fois.

Very disappointed, service very poor, we will not return anytime soon and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Food is mediocre and not enough servers. Liz C.

The noise is too loud, during the breaks of live music, the volume should be reduced so people can talk with their friends. The server was not enthusiastic and was hard to find when we wanted to pay our bill. The pizza was too dry. The music of UNO was great.
