  Bumpkins has been around for decades and contrary to it's name, it is actually a very high end spot.
  
  I had to check it out after constantly walking by at night time when it was closed.  
  
  The place is beautifully lit and tastefully decorated with art and sculptures.
  
  There is a nice patio which in the day plays beautiful  music. Everything from Vivaldi to classic Italian opera hits.
  
  The staff are not the traditional "young and hip cool people" you get in Toronto but rather well spoken, educated and refined gentlemen and women.
  
  The food as with everything else exudes class. Seafood, pasta, steak and much more. All reasonably priced and I would even consider them to be great value when you factor in the quality.
  
  All in all, this place is an old neighborhood staple which is less known than most and located just far enough off Yonge to be tranquil and romantic for those special evenings.
  
  I truly do recommend people give it a shot because these guys do it better than your average Bumpkins!

  Went for a work lunch and ordered the chicken cesar salad which was $17. The description didn't really match and it was the most plain and bland salad I have had. The lettuce was not crisp with some browned leaves, dressing didn't have much flavour and seemed watered down. Chicken breast tasted like one of those steamed cooked breasts you get when you go to a large wedding with no flavour. There was one and half croutons on the plate. Wasn't impressed.
  
  Nice decor, nice servers who were very attentive to the group but I can't get over how underwhelming the salad was.

  Just as good as it was 15 years ago.  Ambience is nice and the food is always good.  Hot bread and soft butter is always so good.  Service is excellent and food is always consistent.  Steaks with garlic on top is so good.

  The service was really great but the food was subpar. I should have realized this when walking into an almost empty restaurant, in the core of downtown, on Mother's Day. But since the restaurant had many positive Yelp reviews, I still thought I would have a good experience.
  
  Let's start off with the positives: the service was absolutely amazing. The cleanliness met my expectations... The food however, that was the disgusting part.
  
  We ordered the lasagna, leg of lamb, a seafood dish (my mother ordered this, I forget what it was exactly) and a salad. All of the food was BLAND. Absolutely no seasoning what so ever. It's really hard to mess up a salad and potatoes, but they did exactly that.
  
  Don't think I can go to this place again. The service was really good but you can't eat service. Very disappointed.

  Food is awful. Only thing good was the warm bread. Prime rib was tough. Vegetables are boring. Duck was chewy on orange sauce that came with it needs some help. Definitely won't be back here. This place was once good way back.
