Comfort-forward Canadian pub fare in a charming historic house with standout brunch and friendly service; some inconsistency on steaks and fish-and-chips, but strong value on specials.
The Blake House delivers reliable neighborhood dining anchored by genuinely attentive service and a charming Victorian setting that justifies its loyal following. Food quality shines at brunch and seasonal specials, but inconsistent execution on steaks and fried items prevents grade A territory. Strong value on prix fixe nights and Sunday roasts makes it worth visiting for the right dishes.
One caveat: Steak quality varies from great to gristly; consider non-steak mains if picky
