Staff don't listen and well the restaurant is like a sauna. I went with a Alexander keith white as the Stella is well over priced asked for water didn't get it the attitude seems will give you alcohol but no water there's just 1 waitress on not many tables 5-6 at most but seemed overwhelmed couldn't wait to leave. It's autumn where the weather is up and down but seriously you have the heat blowing at full power. Not a great experience I took some appetiser which wasn't that good, i should have just taken the Caesar salad and stayed with that. Bother going back there better restaurants out there.

Monday night and they had an unexpected group of 20-25 descend. One server. She was a rock star! Rolled with the punches and was calmed those getting frustrated with a backed up kitchen. One regular said many Mondays he is the only customer. The wings were amazing. The great vibe coming off the server made them worth the wait.

Incredible Value. A go-to, eat out, casual dining spot. June 2024 and a $21 sirloin steak 10oz was cooked perfectly and delicious at medium. 2 glasses of Shiraz, also delicious. And a 20% tip. All for $45 wow, this is an Ontario Value.

My son ordered the cereal with milk. My daughter ordered a classic burger with cheese. She likes the French fries but not much of the burger which is a bit dry. I ordered the egg Benedict, and the home fries are really yummy. However the sauce on the egg Benedict is not so much flavored to me, and the bacon is a bit dry. Our server is really nice though. And the atmosphere is good too.

There was hardly anyone in there which I enjoyed and the waiter was great. Food was so inexpensive and surprisingly pretty good. I would definitely recommend

We decided to eat here as we were staying at a nearby hotel and it was within walking distance. My wife had the kickin chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and I had the Canadian burger with fries. Both were very fresh and tasted good. The aoli dip for the sweet potatoes did not have much taste though. Service was friendly and the prices decent. We would eat here again.

I had a nice experience here. The restaurant itself is cozy but very clean and well kept. There is decent variety of food to choose from and all for average prices. I ordered burgers and they were cooked great with short wait times. The staff are very nice as well. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area.

The name is deceiving. It is a hotel resteraunt that for the area I think was pretty good. Waitress was pleasant, food was good. Feels more like a diner though wich is fine

So I ordered eggs benny for breakfast (at 2pm) the food was served semi room temp, the hollandaise sauce was lumpy and tasted fishy. I called the waitress over and asked her to take it away and said for her to just bring me a caesar salad, she walked I to the kitchen and yelled so we could hear that the lady didnt like the sause a few mins later I got my salad and my friend was tempted becuz it look gooded so she asked if she could get one also, the waitress yet again walked into the kitchen and yelled now the other lady wants a salad ... Just poor decorum, not impressed at all.

Really upsetting. My husbands mashed potatoes first came out with gray, then the new ones were like reheated and seemed a day old, vegetables were crunchy not soft and buttery. I paid $26 for his meal and ,$18 for mine and my daughters chicken alfredo that seemed only ok.

I dropped by to have a quick lunch. My server was Sanjay. He had a very positive attitude. I ordered the veggie burger with fries with a coke. The food was pretty good. They are currently renovating but that didnt phase the staff who were very friendly with the guests in the restaurant. I scanned the room and noticed a lot of business people enjoying their meals. There were a lot of fun conversations going on as I was eating my food. The restaurant and lounge is right near the 400. It is a great spot to meet. Thank you for the hospitality. Cheers!

Do not have the $20 dollar deal including a pint of beer. Its not worth it. Have the $20 steak and chips and the $6 beer. Or any of the standard price meals. They are good value and really nice. Parties of 6 will have a tip pre added to their bill! Paula who works there is a font of knowledge, befriend her, she is great (from the guys from Norwich UK )

December 22, 2018

Worst place I had a few drinks there with my coworkers & I stay & the hotel & was embarrassed b4 the manager & one of the workers about a bill that I already paid for $29 that Ive already paid from the week before & even though i showed them my bank statement with the payment been made o the Tuesday before the manager told them that I wasnt allowed to leave b4 I paid that same bill again

My boyfriend mom, friend and I went to this restraint because it was the only restaurant close by that was walking distance from our hotel, we were already drinking , we walked in at 9:20 because it closed at 10 , girl didnt say hi nothing just said we close soon so, handed us menus, so we just seat our selves, waitress gets to our table, says what do you want to drink? We tell her, then we order our food quick , she got mad and looked confused. Took her 15 minutes to get a beer, glass of wine, and ice tea with vodka but stood taking to her coworkers for 10 minutes then got the drinks, we got our food that was not cooked properly and discusting, I asked her for a glass a water and she gave me attitude, we got the bill and it was wayyyy over priced, we really didnt appricate the attitude or the service.

December 22, 2017

Terrible service. Had someones empty glasses with bottoms of booze sitting next to me at the bar the entire time. No last call actually called. Server only showed up to hand the bill. Waiting almost half an hour for one drink.

It is really good. We went there just now, the waitress is helpful and attentive. We order a Mediterranean salad, it is really delicious, full of lot of sun dry tomatoes. And we also order a chicken tikka masala and Burger, both are really nice too. And the potion isnt small either. If I ever come back to the area, i wull definity go there again.

Great food and a great atmosphere, I would recommend this place for those of all tastes. For breakfast they serve from the simple (2 eggs with toast home fries and bacon) to the exotic (smoked salmon style eggs Benedict). For dinner the verity is just as diverse, from a simple burger to the grilled calamari. All food is great, that I have tried so far, for I have tried a bit of it in my short stay at the attached hotel (Best Western). The restaurant has its own entry and is close to the road. All the staff is great and always smiling. I would come and sit to just talk to them and end up ordering a white Russian or one of the beers on tap and staying for an hour.
