    First time trying this place out for dinner. Hidden gem that is underrated with exceptional food and hospitality. Server was very attentive and friendly during our dining experience. Will definitely come back again to try their brunch and pasta!

    We went for lunch on the weekend. Very good food. Spectacular nachos. and the waiter who served us in the inner courtyard was very attentive to us, always making sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be back

    I thought I'd give it a try I always thought they were overpriced but I love pasta I love Italian food so here we go ...Penny chicken alfredo with mushrooms onion and garlic bread honestly two out of five it really tasted like I bought the cheapest alfredo sauce and the cheapest penne pasta and made it The garlic bread was two 1 inch by 1 inch cubes on top of that that meal cost $22 I also got the Belgium chocolate cake which cost $12 probably an inch and a half by 3 in wow my credit card was bigger than the slice of cake $12 is crazy no problem if it was made in-house with all the greatness but I highly doubt that Just a normal Belgian chocolate cake you could get from metro.... The sad part is they joined the shrinkflation and skimflation trends definitely never going here again. I don't mind trying things out but if you're going to slap me in the face while I'm doing it count me out.

    Cozy and comfortable ambiance. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service is excellent, food and drinks within minutes. Ask for Donna, she's such a darling, treats you like family. Everything I've eaten was soooo delicious!!

    What a great group staff, service and super cute place in the Kensington neighborhood!! The drinks were so yummy, highly recommend you try their drinks menu! You must try their spring rolls with their super yummy and perfectly spiced dipping sauce! I love the fact there is a front an back patio, one for people watching and another for more private and intimate gatherings. Highly recommend this place! The staff know how to make sure you have a good time.

    T.O. Dickens is nestled in the heart of Kensington Market! Dickens has an inviting and festive atmosphere all decked out for the holidays. It offers friendly service and food that even Ebenezer Scrooge would be happy to eat. 😋

    I was there for the South launch opening I walked through the place and instantly knew I'd be this would be one of my hidden gems the owner used to cook at 7 West so he's very familiar with comfort food he brought that same seven West energy to Augusta his spin on Comfort Foods is really authentic as you can see I had the chipotle chicken with a quart of chicken it definitely hit the spot especially 3:34 in the morning is a definite go to the spot is brand new clean and the back patio is immaculate the first time I add on the patio of the second time I had in the front both experiences were tight I definitely have to give these guys a five-star rating a Hidden Gem in the middle of the city open 24 hours a day I hope you people and everybody enjoys this I'm always have an amazing time here please check it out especially late night tell them 7 sent you..cheers

    Sat outside. Didn't get dinner before going out so this was perfect to get dinner after going out and before getting home. The garlic parm wings are SO good. Tried asian zing sauce on the side and it's like sweet chili Thai with more kick. Their fries are steak fries 👍 the Caesar salad was great! their spaghetti bolognese was soo good very meaty and hearty. The bowl is deceiving, it was a lot of pasta. The Alfredo was very flavourful. The lasagna was so cheesy and crispy cheesy. Split 3 apps 4 ways + a pasta + cake and it was under 40$ good deal. The server was the nicest guy ever.

    The food was really yummy. We got a poutine to start, my friend got the lasagna (I had a bite it was really tasty) and I had the carbonara(it was really saucy and hot which was nice). 2 things to note. The atmosphere looked and felt really nice, but it smelled like pinesol cleaning product so that threw me off a bit. Also there are no refills for soft drinks. Would return!:)

    I had the butternut squash ravioli and the steak dish. Both were delicious and I ended up ordering the butternut squash ravioli on Uber Eats a couple nights later cause I was craving it. The service was really great. Our server was really patient and welcoming. I believe his name was Eric. The overall atmosphere here is calm and relaxing. It’s nice to dine out but not be in a crowd. This place is very clean and lowkey. It’s nice to go to a restaurant that has fresh flowers throughout.

    What a beautiful restaurant right in the heart of Kensington! They have an extensive Italian menu with items for every mood. I had a chicken sandwich with their tomato soup, which I loved! Can’t wait to go back here again. 💕

    Visited TO Dickens yesterday and found the food satisfactory. However, there was a lack of transparency regarding charges. We requested to swap the burger’s side salad for truffle fries, not knowing it would add an extra $8 charge per order, without any mention at the time. The original $16 burger price remained the same even without the salad, leading to a total of $24 per burger with fries. Transparency about additional costs would be appreciated for a better customer experience.

    What a cute hidden little gem. Stopped in here for cocktails and dessert. Everything we had was delicious and the server was phenomenal

    This man has made me so grateful. Flew in late at 11pm almost everything was closed. I look up restaurants that don’t seem like trash and I see this one with like almost entirely 5 stars right? I’m like seems suspicious but it was by my hostel so I checked it out. I’m greeted by this very kind gentleman who I assumed was the night crew, it was the owner! I ordered 3 tacos, man said hey it’s taco Tuesday so is it cool if I bring you 2x of each? … This man gave me 6 FIREEEEE tacos for like $15. Man made my night, if you want some good food any time of day check this place out. You’re a king sir.

    Since it’s disrespectful to rate food a 1 star I’ll give them a 2 for the Over cooked Spaghetti with under seasoned over oily bolognese. I don’t condone wasting food but I’m sorry this had to go.
