    I’ve now dined here a few times and can attest to their consistency of providing a great dining experience. Food has always been good, as has the service, but the manager (Victoria) really helped to make this evenings experience a pleasant one. I’d recommend The Joneses if your looking for place with solid drinks or food. It’s not too fussy and has very comfortable ambiance.

    Food was amazing, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Drinks were fantastic, overall 10/10 experience. Must try the polenta fries, Brie brûlée, an amazing burger, pumpkin mac and cheese, and the beef tartare. Everything was outstanding! We’ll definitely be back!

    Perfect location for a group of ladies to split some appetizers, pub grub and bevvies before catching a show at Mirvish. Menus were a bit sticky. When we first arrived, there seemed to be some issues with staffing, but the second person that took care of us was outstanding.(not sure what happened to the first one I think she went on break or left or something?) food was tasty and cooked as to what we would’ve expected.  not outstanding or anything but absolutely perfect pub experience. Would recommend.
