Very lively atmosphere, The pool and TT made a huge difference. Thank you Mary, Bartender for the support on our corporate party.

We enjoyed a nice evening on the patio. Good food, cold drinks, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. Would definitely come back. Great place to get together with friends. Not formal.

We had the best time here! Our waitress Sydney was excellent! She really engaged with us and it was so fun! The food was soooo good. I had the burger and it did not disappoint!! Sydney recommended it and I am so happy I went...with her suggestion. We also enjoyed a bottle of the rose! This place is a definite must and if we are ever back in Toronto again it will be a place I will eat at again! I was celebrating my 40th with my friends and we all had a great time! What a unexpected gem. Thanks for an awesome birthday dinner!More

This restaurant does have a wonderful patio in the summer season. The staff are friendly and accommodating but its a shame that the owner of the restaurant bullies & berates customers. He calls customers that make a legitimate complaint ignorant and disrespects them. He even...calls them liars and say they never ate there even though we clearly have the charge on our credit card. There are other restaurants in the area that know how to treat a customer and they want them to return. Beware if you dine at this place.More

Perfect outdoor patio with an awning to protect customers from the elements but completely open on the sides. Staff is always friendly and efficient and the food is consistently good. We have probably tried most things on the menu- my favourites are the 4 cheese...pizza with balsamic dipping sauce and the tribal salad. But this time I ordered the fish tacos which were delicious and my husband had the veggie wrap and Caesar salad which he loved. He also had the cheese cake but I found it a little dry. Finally the decaffinated coffee was super flavorful.More

I am a down to earth pub and restaurant patron. I was very happy to get a chance to visit this establishment, to choose from the selection of drinks, and to have a very good pizza. Friendly and accommodating staff, and a patio available.

Safari is a fun place for families, the kids can play pool or ping pong upstairs while parents sit on main floor or everyone can eat upstairs, same menu on both floors. Food is very good, better than bar food but not pretentious. We like...this place!More

We recently returned to Safari which was our favourite local spot when we lived in the neighbourhood. The food is even better than it was!! The steak taco and seafood Alfredo pasta special were outstanding. Our server Ryan was very attentive and provided great service....Would highly recommend.More

Safari is our go to when with family, food is creative and high quality, prices are fair. Staff are friendly and make a point of getting to know the kids, nice touch. Seafood Pasta, Chicken Wrap, Pizza, Tribal Salad, Fish Wrap, Steaks, all delicious, nice...selection of beers on tap and wines by the glass. Kids love to play pool and table tennis upstairs, main floor is a cozy restaurant, big busy patio in summer months.More

Very nice place, I sat at the bar and the staff were welcoming and friendly, also accommodating as the bartender asked if I had a preference on what I would like to watch on the TV and even switched from the hockey game to basketball....Food was exceptional, I had fish, it was simply done, cooked perfectly and seasoned just right with a jalapeño/mango chutney that added a nice kick. The dining room filled up quickly and service looked smooth and confident, you can tell a lot about a place from perched at the bar, servers here were professional, manager was engaged and all over the place, greeting at the door, running food and checking on patrons. Overall, well ran, comfortable local, look forward to returning with friends.More

The food is fresh and delicious. Everyone one was helpful, but felt service was a bit slow at times. We were there on a Sat. at 6p.m. and it did get busier around 7. We had to ask another waiter to get us dessert menus....Also, I didn't know pool tables could be reserved. It would be great when booking your reservation if you are asked if you want to book a pool table. They should allow for reserving a few, not all. We were hoping to shoot some pool after dinner, but nothing was available.More

I’m not sure why but we live in the neighbourhood and had not been to Safari in years, my husband suggested for lunch and I am so glad he did. Food was delicious I had their Fish Tacos, they were really good served with side...of either fries or salad, I had the side salad which was fresh and tasty. My husband had their Arugala salad which he enjoyed and my dad had their Chicken Club sandwich served on a ciabatta bun he loved it. Beer choices were great and for desert we shared their Tartufo excellent, coffee was freshly ground. Will definitely be back..More
