Stayed at the Walper Hotel and had dinner at TWH Social. From the lobby it’s down the hall and downstairs. Restaurant is very spacious. There is dining room seating, bar seating and several booth tables in the bar area. There is also another section in the back of the dining room that looks like an area for private parties. Our server Claire was wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The menu offers a good variety of options with 2 soups plus a soup of the day. Very happy for this soup lover. Unfortunately they did not have a soup of the day ready for dinner so I opted for one of the 2 soups regularly on the menu. We ordered: Calamari $20 - made fresh, large pieces, light crispy batter, jalapeño aioli. Oh so good. Butternut squash soup $8 - rosemary flavour with cream. Excellent flavour and texture, and actually served steaming hot not lukewarm like a lot of restaurants these days. Orange. Fennel & Shrimp $18 - black tiger shrimp, orange, radish. chives, tomato + lemon vinaigrette. Light and refreshing, oranges were sweet and comes with a good amount of shrimp. 14oz Dry Aged Ribeye $48 - 28 day dry aged, celeriac mash purée, vine tomato, green beans, red wine jus - delicious Would highly recommend this place and plan to return if we are ever in this area again.

Update: Came back here after 3years for a date night, and we were blown away both by the food and the sevice. Our server was Maddy and she was phenomenal. For appetizer we got wings. For the main course we ordered the Braised Beef and the Sunchoke Ravioli. And for dessert we got the Vegan Carrot Cake. Every single item was absolutely AMAZING! I was most impressed by the ravioli. It was an explosion of flavours in your mouth. I cannot wait to go back! Absolute gem! The drinks were professionally made and were the cherry on top of our entire experience. Their menu has a lot of tasty and interesting options. I ordered thr burger with aside of their ginger and parsnip soup and burger. The burger was flavourful and the condiments came on the side, so we were able to add whatever we wanted. The soup was even better, I was skeptical but I was definitely impressed. For drinks, I ordered the Godfather, even though the bartender originally didn't know the recipe but they made it for me and it was great. The waitress was very nice and attentive. And the environment was lovely with great life music! Definitey recommend for a nice night! Note: I give this place $$$ for their price list.

Today, I thought I'd try a new place to treat myself to a nice brunch. I was NOT disappointed! My first awesome surprise was the tea pot that I was given; it was huge! Unlike the common metal ones that hold a cup and a half as best (and drip like crazy) I was given this beautiful brown teapot that would be enough for at least 3! No extra tea or water needed at this table? My go-to for brunch is usually an eggs Benedict, because I'm not going to make it at home. Because of this, I've had a lot of the local Benedicts, and I think this one might surpass almost every other Benedict in the area! The hollandaise was rich and flavourful (not too flour-y, and definitely not bland), the eggs were perfectly done, and everything came out hot. The potatoes were also amazing, and were the only reason my second egg wasn't as warm to eat as the first! 😉 I also have to give a shout-out to my server Niharika. She took excellent care of me and even offered me a take out cup (with an extra tea bag!) For the tea I didn't finish at the table. She anticipated everything I might need. I'll definitely be back; I think I have found a new front runner in my rotation of KW brunches!

The worst service I've had that I can remember. I was excited for the social burger as there is a great atmosphere and a wonderful waiter. Tonight a server forgot to bring ketchup and instead returned to ask if we wanted water. Um no I wanted ketchup. She continued to serve other tables as our burger and club got cold. The manager and the waitress told me it was quite unusual and the burger didn't come with ketchup. She said it was up to me if I wanted to send it back. The waitress never returned after she delivered a tiny container of ketchup 10 minutes later. After I had to get up and ask for ketchup 3 times at the end of the meal she only took my boyfriend's plate and didn't come back for mine. Again the torture didn't end as we stood waiting for another 10 minutes after asking the server the supervisor and the bar tender for a bill. It seems as if they just wanted to prolong being rude to us. So disappointed. Don't bother coming here it is a total waste of time.

The 4 of us went to TWH SOCIAL specifically for the social burger, which in the past, has been the reason we keep coming back. However, tonight was the biggest disappointment ever! The burger served was barely comparable to a fast food restaurant. Thin patty didn’t appear to be house ground brisket, no cheese or arugula and not served on a brioche bun. And the sad quality of fries should not have been served. No management available to speak to about our concern. Serving staff, not really capable of listening to a client’s concern. This burger was not as described on the menu. This burger does not match the poster at the restaurant. And the 4 of us have had this burger at least 5 times in the past to know what it supposed to look like and taste like. This was the saddest dry thin patty, masked as the social burger. Time for a new burger joint! See pics.

Visited The Walper Hotel Social for a quick business lunch for the first time on a Thursday afternoon, so no expectations. Seemed a bit more on the posh end (comparing to dtown Toronto or NYC resty/hotel where I've had similar meetings). Can't compare it to them or else it would be a 2 star review. On its own, definitely would visit again when passing through. Decent food and beverage selections with specials. Staff were courteous and intelligent, seemed to be knowledgeable about their offerings. Hopefully their burger is a good as they think. Had the shrimp pasta - which is what I happened to be craving. Surprisingly it turned out well (def. would order agian) - usually those craving situations are sub par experiences. Cool place, defintely would check out again when in that area for business or chillin'.
