This restaurant is highly overrated. The portions are very small, compared to the inflated prices. The food was good, nothing wrong with that at all, but I felt like I had been cheated when they brought out my meal. Several others that I know of felt the same way when they went there. It has to be the smallest serving... more

My wife and I visited the "The Only" last Saturday based on reviews and a recommendation. The restaurant is small and cosy but not overly crowded as some other reviewers had mentioned. Being a last minute decision, we had to take the last seating available for two at 5:30 ( a little early for my liking) but this just gave... more

I don't know who decided that this is the place to go. Honestly, using organically or locally produced food does not a meal make. I was completely let down and will not be back. The service was good as was the wine. more

Okay, so it's in the top 10 new restaurants in Canada ...big deal unless I like it. It would be tough finding a restaurant in London where you would pay more but yeah the food is creative and good. more

My wife and I were in London the last weekend in September. Had a wonderful dinner at the ONLY. We had excellent attentive service. We were staying close by at the Hilton. I've read other reviews where this restaurant is compared to Domus in Ottawa. It's a good comparison. The restaurant is small and somewhat noisy, particularly if there are... more

I'm thrilled that we have a restaurant of this quality in London, ON. The tasting menu with wine pairings has never let me down. And at $75 per person, it is a bargain. We've paid $400 for meals like that in Toronto. My only complaint would be that the space is a little tight, which makes it somewhat loud in... more

My spouse and I celebrated out 5th wedding anniversary here in June. I'm a chef from California and I've been sorely dissapointed by the food in London. However, I can't wait to go back to The Only again. The food was excellent( if not a bit heavy on the salt). I had a fabulous lobster/fingerling potato salad( 14.50) for an... more

Joined friends in order to celebrate their anniversary and while waiting had a vodka martini. We're amazed at how Canadian hoteliers literally squeeze the last smidgeon of vodka out of the container to make it one lonely ounce...it's just pitiful, therefore, it contributes to the poorly made martini and it shows. Not much can save this effort either 'shaken or... more

Stopped in London on our trip from the Chicago area to Niagara Falls. Based on reviews on Tripadvisor, my husband chose The Only on King to have his birthday dinner. This was May 6th. It did not disappoint! The asparagus tart was incredible and I don't even like asparagus! The duck and the scallops were both incredible. Andrew our server,... more
