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.
Had a large steak, wife had salmon and daughter fish and chips. Very satisfied. Good food and friendly staff.
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
The setup was not conducive for a group setting. The bathroom was not fresh it had a bad odour. Food
Went here with my family Jan 10 2024 and we have diarrhea and vomiting after it has something to do with their food or drinks Dietary restrictions: Not good for some people with maintenance but it s all up to the person so much carbs
Love it! Perfect dishes, so Food : 5/5
Nice place for a gathering. Good service.
Step into a world of culinary excellence at this restaurant. The food was a revelation, with innovative dishes that pushed the boundaries of taste and presentation. The service was polished and professional, creating a dining experience that was truly exceptional.
Nice place, good food, decent prices. Wish it didnt close at 1pm
Great service,great food.
Good food, good price, friendly staff. Only down fall not open for dinner
Fantastic food and very welcoming staff!
Very good service delicious breakfast
Painfully slow
I absolutely love this restaurant, they didnt carry vegan food per se, but they were more than willing to make you something from scratch to ensure the customer was happy.
Stayed at hotel and food was good and priced fairly. Good variety and service was also good. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner there.
Stayed at the best western plus attached to element rest with my two kids 8 months and 1.5 yrs went down with an empty baby bottle asked to purchase some milk they however comped the milk great staff
Omg I can t say enough about this little hidden gem. The woman working by herself on the floor couldn t have been more welcoming after a long journey. An the steak was amazing
A little sketchy. Clean though.
The food tasted nice. Good oj
I love the food and their options. The manager was very pleasant to deal with and very helpful. I would definitely take my family and kids here again. Thank you..
Good food.
Amazing breakfast, price and service. A hidden gem in North York and way better breakfast than the downtown chain hotel breakfast.
Decent price, good food. Not much scenery.
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.
Terrible period....
Very good breakfast. Very fair price. No complaints.
Great dinner and wonderful service! Order the wine by the glass, you won t be sorry.
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.
Food was ok. Waitress had no people skills
Service is good but food is just so, so. It is attached to the Best Western which makes it great. No walking to go and eat.
Good place for a family meal.
The food and sevice was great the steak was so tender an tasty.
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!
Streak was better than some dry aged steaks Ive had in the past. Great service.
Excellent service, staff are wonderful, and has a lovely ambiance.
Not a bad hotel bar/restaurant but service is slow and the place seems understaffed.
Well the food was ok but greasy at least the beer was good I dont recommend it.
Not terrible as far as hotel restaurants go, the wings were good, as were the quesadillas, but the pork tenderloin was kind of dry. Beer selection is standard.
Customer service was great to out of country guest!
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 )
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
A little disappointing this time. I had one of the chefs specialties Seafood Angel pasta but the seafood was really overcooked and hard. Disappointment for a dish at $20 CDN.
Good service and friendly staff.
Not your typical hotel restaurant! We enjoyed one dinner and one breakfast here. Both meals were very good with generous portions and the service was also good.
The food and the service were terrific. Perfect location as we stayed next door and could just walk over. Great atmosphere.
Food and price were bang on! Wait was short for food and it all tasted good! Bar was good. Limited.menu. staff friendly.
Super underated, good value and fantastic flavours. I should add the Breakfast potatoes were fantastic that come with most of the breakfast options.
Good food and good atmosphere.
Nice place to eat
Ordinary food and decor but thats what youre looking for sometimes. Friendly staff. Lots of parking. Good experience.
Fantastic food and friendly service
Worst service ever. Waited over an hour in an empty restaurant for food.
The food is okay. Fairly typical pub food. Service was not that great. The breakfast specials are a pretty good deal however.
Great food, great cheap breakfast. Slow staff, high prices on dinner/lunch, and long wait for food.
Staff was nice. Service was exceptionally slow. Food was awful. Over cooked. Meager portions. Other than that, the soda was cold.
Good food. Priced a bit hi but typical for a hotel. Service is a bit slow havent seen my server in 20 minutes.
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.
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.
Staff was nice. Bruschetta was very good. Muscles were not very flavorful, sent them back. Kids food was decent, typical choices chicken fingers, cheese Pizza, grilled cheese, pasta, burger. French fries were nice and crispy! Drinks : Ceasar was very good, it had pickle slices in it. Try the Woo Woo drink. Wife loved it!!
Waitress correct meal correct nothing wow
Typical hotel restaurant. High prices, average food, server was meh at best, no atmosphere. Service was decently quick though.
Too fatty, too salty. The burger was dripping with oil, the turkey wrap abominable (stretchy, salty and bad all at once). A horror!
Was awesome.food... Thank you
Meat was over cooked and vegetables and potatoes were cold not worth eating here
Had a staff meeting here. The food was good and the service was fast and the wait staff was very friendly.
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 meal I highly recommend
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.
Just an alright place, unless you are staying at the hotel I wouldnt bother going.
