Great atmosphere especially with trivia night! Went there to celebrate my sisters birthday & it was fantastic & lively. The food was amazing, the mussels were to die for, the drinks were stiff (which is perfect!) & staff were so kind. Can't recommend enough!

We had reservation at 7pm on a Tuesday, but came a 10 minutes early.
Upon arrival, we were greeted right away. Our hostess gave us a quick tour, & proceeded to take us to our table. The ambiance is nice. The music wasn't playing too loudly, so my guest & I were still able to talk to each other without screaming at each other.
Our waitress came quickly to ask if we wanted to order drinks, & event made a recommendation for the mocktail. It didn't take long to receive our drinks, & to give our food order. As we sipped our drinks, & enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant, our entrées arrived: BRAISED PORC CROQUETTES was delicious. 3 pieces of nicely fried croquette was good on its own & didn't need the extra sauce; BURRATA & ROASTED SQUASH served with their own homemade focaccia was beautiful. It says roasted squash in the title, but in the description it was pickled, we definitely got pickled not roasted. If I let my foodie self talk, I would probably have the castel franco, chicory & endives slices more thinly to have a more delicate experience with the burrata cheese. We took a bit of time to eat our entrées because the mains came & we hadn't finished, but the staff was kind enough to grab our plates out of the way for the mains.
SLOW COOKED OX TAIL GNOCCHI had good flavors. The gnocchi were soft as they should be, there were some pieces of ox tail, & the tomato sauce was on point, not too acidic; LAMB ROGAN JOSH PIE was the big winner. The pie was quite hefty, the crust was flaky & well baked. The filling was ALL lamb, so definitely have your protein intake. It was accompanied by a goat cheese beet salad (salad of the day) & it was a perfect balance. We took the leftovers home!
The restrooms were clean, so always a plus!
All in all, the experience at this establishment is a 5 star for me. Friendly staff, clean place, great décor, lots of personality & flavorful foods. I highly recommend.
Ambiance chaleureuse & décontracté. Décor fabuleux. Musique un peu forte, difficile parfois de discuter. Menu intéressant & la nourriture incroyablement bonne. Service extraordinaire à l'écoute & comprends nos besoins. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant. Nous avons été ravis d'avoir choisi cet endroit pour notre réunion de bureau. Appréciation générale unanime. Plusieurs ne connaissaient pas l'endroit & ont été charmés. Réservation simple & efficace. Beaucoup de flexibilité même pour notre groupe de 16 personnes. Prise en charge rapide pour les commandes & le service. Restaurant était propre, toilettes aussi. Nous avons tous passé un excellent moment. Malgré la pénurie de main d'oeuvre, l'après pandémie etc... Ce pub continue de faire de la qualité : dans le service, l'ambiance & la nourriture. Félicitations pour votre excellent travail d'équipe. Sachez que nous vous en sommes reconnaissants. Au plaisir!
Wow!!! The food was extraordinary & our server, Scott, was fun yet professional. He recommended a great Canadian whisky that we all enjoyed. I can't recommended Wolf & Workman enough.
Some friends & I visited Wolf & Workman on our weekend getaway & loved it. Our waitress "Elle" was amazing & made sure we never ran out of their famous bottomless mimosas! I will definitely be back & recommend this place to family & friends.

The best!! We went for cocktails Thursday night & had so much fun that we came back for brunch & service both times was SO fantastic. Delicious food, highly recommend!
This was my second time here. Service & food were once again excellent & I'll continue to recommend it to friends & family. Thank you for the hospitality!
You can't go wrong with going to Wolf & Workman. The food is always amazing, no matter what you choose. The staff is beyond friendly & helpful. No matter is your a party of 2 or a party of 30, everyone go above & beyond to give you the best experience. For our party of 30 everything was prepared in advance, from food to beverages everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend Wolf & Workman enough. Thank you again to everyone there for the best experience.
Very warm emplacement!
Staff are very cool! I stayed over 5 hours & felt no pressure.
If anything, the menu is underpriced for their location & the top quality of the food.
I will become a regular there.
Highly recommend
Fantastic spot, food, & service! We had a great first visit & brunch at W&W. The Benedictine & Bloody Caesars are especially recommended. Thank you, W&W, & hope to visit again soon!
