   Best restaurant for steak and fine dining in this part of the province. Prices are expensive but you get what you pay for...outstanding quality food and great service.

   Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. A true gem in London! They went above and beyond for our anniversary to a personalized note on our menu to a happy anniversary sign on our cake.

   The Good-the food and service was up to par as expected for a restaurant like this. The purse stool was a cute idea. The decor was nice and the welcome complimentary sparkler was a nice touch. Caesar salad made table side was a classic and perfectly made. Ribeye was a good cut and the sides were tasty but all over salted for our taste. The carrot cake stole the show. The Bad - the group of loud drunkards at the next table spoiled the atmosphere The UGLY - Cash Grab by charging 5% of the bill as an Atmosphere fee. Absolutely disgusting as while the decor etc was fine, it’s a BASIC expectation when dinner for 2 costs $400. This was a regular Saturday night out for us so we don’t mind paying good food and service in a nice place but we will absolutely never come back or recommend anyone coming here due to this stupid fee. The explanation was the that the owner had put in small touches and that they charge it in Europe so it’s fine. Yes the tacky tourist traps do but we have also travelled extensively and have not found anywhere with class charging for Atmosphere. Nor do they have an expectation of a tip. We also tried to make a reservation on site after visiting the Merry Market and were told by the “Papi butchers” that it was sold out and there was a dress code and usually people booked weeks in advance. So I pulled up open table and made a reservation on the spot. We were by no means “dressed to impress “ as the dress code requested but from what we saw inside no one else was either.

   We had a great experience at Papi’s. The food exceeded my expectations in terms of taste and quality. The staff are very professional and knowledgeable. Everything that was recommended by our server that we tried was delicious. We were there for a birthday and were given a special champagne treat. It’s a great place for groups who want to share food as well.

   We celebrated my husband’s birthday with friends and shared an amazing meal and dining experience. Everyone loved it and enjoyed every bite. Pricey place but for a special occasion, so worth it. We would recommend every dish we had including the fresh made Ceasar (table side), crispy brussel sprouts, cauliflower au gratin, scallops, shrimp, mushrooms, tomahawk steak, chicken ballotine, crème brulee, and chocolate cake. Service was outstanding and ambience was spectacular. Without a doubt, the best meal we have ever had. Highly recommend.

   The experience of entering Papi's through a meat-locker style door and seeing the layout and decor of this restaurant beyond it is amazing! And then the quality of service, drinks, ambience and food take over to complete an incredible experience. We were two non-meat eaters in a meat lover's paradise who were served the finest non-meat lunch you could find. We do eat seafood so the menu was easily accessible for us in that way. Lunch will never be the same again!! This was our first visit and it will not be our last.

   What a beautiful homage to the owner's father. This is exactly the kind of place that London needed and I am so pleased to have spent our 1-year anniversary here. Can't wait until our next outing here!

    The atmosphere when you enter is superb. Dim lit with chandeliers with nicely appointed tables , with ample space to enjoy a meal without sitting too closely to next table . Service by Jess was professional and friendly. Ceasar salad prepared at our table from fresh ingredients. The steak and twice baked potatoes and seared squash lightly covered in sugar glaze tasted amazing . Large wine and drink selection. We will return for the bar and deserts soon . No regrets as this is an experience for all your senses. Bon appetit
