One of my all time top 3 places to eat in London! Always have great service and the food is always delicious. My partner and I finished the Sausage Board, a glass of red sangria and a cold brew. Highly recommend!!

SWMBO joined me for a business trip to London ON. We went to the Morrisey House for dinner with a couple of my colleagues, around the corner from our hotel. The restaurant was full when we got there after 6:30, and we had to wait a few minutes for a table for four.
SWBMO chose the Jambalaya from the Entrees section of the menu ($16.25). Shrimp, chorizo sausage, and sautéed chicken were mixed in with a spicy rice and tomato sauce blend. Although you can request that they slice it up, SWBMO asked for mild, which was spicy enough. She said it was okay, but that she likes her own recipe better.
I picked the Hot Italian Eggplant Sandwich from the Lighter Dinner Fare section ($12.25). The eggplant was thinly sliced, lightly breaded and properly fried until soft all the way through. It was served on a focaccia bun with tomato sauce, spinach, sautéed mushrooms, smoked cheddar, mozzarella, and roasted red peppers. A bit messy, but good.
Service was friendly and polite.
We went to this restaurant at the recommendation of our hotel concierge. Lamb vindaloo was fantastic. Extensive list of local craft beers on tap. Large variety of wines by the glass. Great value and very good service. We went back again for dinner two nights later and again had a great experience.
We went for a late breakfast-early lunch. It was around 11am and wasn’t too busy. The service was very good. Friendly server! I had the Canadian Skillet - very filling! I didn’t need to eat again all day😀
We only popped in to get out of rain . We’re planning on staying for a drink but the food coming out smelled amazing and looked delicious so we stayed for dinner . We started with the two way shrimp - awesome . We had the white bean coconut curry and the cottage pie. Both were great , the cottage pie was sooo good. Piping hot ! Will definitely stop in if in the area again .
The food was excellent at the Morrissey House and definitely would come back again! Our waitress was wonderful and the food had wonderful flavour! Pretty big portions. Would recommend making a reservation since this places gets packed! And we came on a Tuesday!
As good as it gets in my opinion, I loved my visit to The Morrissey House at the end of January. Looking at it from the outside you might prejudge it as a bit of run down converted house, but I implore you to take the chance, walk up those steps and enter their doors.
It's very cute inside as you can definitely tell this was a home at one point as the entire restaurant/bar is divided into different rooms. Which on initial entry might throw you for a loop, but once you're seated it's actually kind of cozy. The bar is contained to one room for those bar flies who want to sit on stools, watch the game and shoot the breeze, while the dining rooms are in their own space, which when seated in them feel a lot like you're eating in someones dining room.
Likely my fave place in London. Not only does it have a causual, community pub kind of feel. Their craft beer choice is almost unmatched and the food is amazing!
Pub nights on Mondays, Wine Wednesdays and even weekend brunch - the hits just keep coming. Cannot suggest enough!
Second time here. First time reviewing.
Finding a place to park around here can be a bit of a challenge, but if you can get in the lot directly to the West, it will only set you back $4. A bargain by London standards.
The restaurant is set in a turn of the century house. Decor still has some of the original millwork and fireplaces. It can get a bit crampt, and loud (depending on the crowds) but overall is clean and pleasant.
The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and of good proportions. The Schnitzel is about the best I've had. 2 giant pieces, tender, and lightly battered (not oily). The ribs are fall off the bone. Although not the best ribs I have had, they are very good. Homemade side potato salad was excellent.
Then there is the beer. There are 18 beers on tap. 15 of them are Ontario Craft Beers, 2 are Ontario Craft Ciders, and the other being Guinness. Great variety that is constantly being changed. Decently priced too.
Overall this place has it all. Great food. Great Beer. Large proportions at a decent price. If you can't enjoy eating here, you cannot be pleased.

We come here all the time. Service is great even on a busy night. The meatloaf is the best Ive had. Food is well cooked, and presented nicely. Highly recommend!
Cannot say enough good things about the service. The food was good, but the service was just amazing! I wish I got her name to mention here (dressed up for new years), but she really good at her job! 10/10 would come back because of her!
We stumbled on this gem by accident. Not only is the food great its reasonably priced. The staff is great, they were very accommodating and friendly. Although the one light over the bar looks a bit suspect, i told the ladies they better have their best Phantom of the Opera impression ready in case it falls ;)
Lots of local artists works on the walls throughout and a nice patio too!
I love this pub’s vibe, food and staffs. The mood of this pub is so friendly and comfortable so going with friends, family and partner are surely nice! Staffs are so friendly and nice, I like them. In addition, food were so delicious and gorgeous, and really matched with drinks! I’d love to go there again!

The best darn wings I have ever had !
We ordered whiskey dry rub and Louisiana wings- they were the bomb. We also ordered Lomita burger which was amazing as well.
The interiors are cute and the service was pretty quick.
100% worth driving 2 hrs ! 😅
What a pleasant surprise:
-no chain
-unique+extraordinary ambience
-very friendly and attentive service
-tasty food. Have not had a Schnitzel in a long time: pork meat and breading delicious, the gravy can be a little improved, missing the kick (I would add more mushrooms and parsley, a few herbs)
-very good value, moderate prices
Looking forward to returning soon :)
Came here for dinner after Tennocon at the con center! Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. We sat outside listening to the live music which was wonderful. We got the tasting platter was good and the mussles were Incredible, definitely recommend. The schnitzel is also another solid recommendation
Waitress working the patio was nice, but there was a long wait to have our orders taken and then a very long wait for our check. No tableware given until asked either. She was nice, but service way she has room to improve

Very cozy with great food!
I had the Catfish and my wife had the fried chicken and we cleaned off both plates. The food was perfect and the portions were solid! (I was full despite being a hefty guy)
Was recommended by Digital Extremes' Tennocon traveller's guide and it did not disappoint! Thanks!
Food was great! Server was alright, not very attentive, although they do have great staff, I have been here about a dozen times and the food never disappoints. I almost want to just tip the kitchen! Last time I went it smelled pretty bad inside (like garbage) so I would keep an eye out for that!

Excellent food and attention. The staff is friendly, the food is sooo tasty and the desserts are to die for. They have an extensive selection of drinks (wines, cocktails, beers). I have tried their lunch and dinner menu, but have yet to try their breakfast menu.
Service and food were fantastic! The servers are rock stars!
