Fabulous food. The restaurant was quite busy so service was a bit slower than expected but the food was very good. The one thing that did surprise us was that there wasn’t a coat check. We will definitely be back as the food is worth a return visit.

Food was impeccable, perfectly cooked and presented. I’ve been a big fan of the legacy tempura green beans, they were good and very tasty, however I prefer the previous variation of a much smaller finer green bean and smaller amount in the paper cone. That’s a nit pick preference. Our server Sophie was the perfect balance of professional and personable and very timely attentiveness. Well done.

I brought my family out to dinner at Fineprint the other night and had an overall fantastic time. The entire team was warm and welcoming right from the start and our server Dylan was amazing! The variety of cocktails were well curated and delicious, with something to appeal to everyone. We shared a selection of appetizers, some favourites were the bison tartar, scallops and short rib croquettes. The mains were all equally delicious. Thanks Fineprint for a great night.

Overall the food was good! The service however was so bad. It took nearly 20 minutes to give our drink order. When I flagged her to ask to help us she waived me off. Didn’t seem to care all that much. Checked in once after all the food was delivered and once more for a second drink in 2 hours. For food. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. I had asked for the oysters to come first but they came last and she brought everything else at once. Disappointing for sure. I’ve had good service here in the past but this was not good at all.

It’s probably been a year since we’ve been to FinePrint and we were very much looking forward to dining there especially since John Beddoes from Deane House was now there. Unfortunately it really didn’t live up to expectations. We ordered the croquetas to start and French onion soup for our main course as we had theatre tickets and had to be out by 7:10. Our reservation was at 5:45 which should have been plenty of time. We were sitting across from the kitchen and I saw the croquetas placed on the counter under a heat lamp. They stayed there for at least 15 minutes and our server made no attempt to bring them over. Instead she took our side plates away. What I figured was the head waiter checked them as they were still not delivered and looked over at our table. He realized we had no plates and he went to get some. Our server then said something to him and he put the plates back. Another few minutes passed and the onion soups were put out under the heat lamps. Our server still hadn’t come to bring us the food. The male server brought the croquetas over with plates followed by the onion soup. The croquetas were good except they would have been better had they been hot. As for the onion soup, it was a poor representation. The bowl was only half full, two thin slices of baguette with a small amount of cheese melted on top, resting on the top of the bowl. The soup was lukewarm! Our server took our plates away and because we had 25 minutes before we had to leave, we asked to see the dessert menu. She brought it quickly, but then didn’t come back for almost 15 minutes leaving no time to have dessert, pay the bill and be out the door. She knew from the beginning that we had a time limit and could have been a little more attentive. All in all a disappointing evening!
