Based out of an old Bank (with the Bank Vault still present in the back for private parties), the atmosphere was not a dark pub of old but updated to be classy, clean and suitably modern. The service was friendly right off the bat, we didn't wait longer than 15 seconds until we were greeted and seated. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the specials, making some good recommendations when asked. They were very enthusiastic about what they were serving and I can see why! The food was delectable, delicious and hit all the notes. I was looking for a good pub and I found an excellent one! I tried the burger which was juicy and perfectly cooked. I shared the California sandwich as well and I can't decide which one was better, it was a very tough call. When I'm back in Whitby I will definitely return.

Stopped by for brunch at Next Door, located in the heart of Main St. Unionville. The restaurant is…read moreunique in a sense where it's situated in the historical Unionville Planing Mill. Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.

This is very popular brunch place in Markham - but the options are more limited up here. Came with…read moremy parents to see what the hype is about (a few years after the hype has died down, but oh well). I must say that I do understand why people are drawn to the restaurant - it is very pretty and makes for wonderful pictures! This includes the lovely visuals of the food, which is beautifully presented and extremely photogenic. The taste of the food, although quite acceptable, fell just a bit short of its looks. The variety of colours was not matched with a variety of flavours, and everything was somewhat on the salty and greasy side. That being said, we very much enjoyed the potato hash, pancakes, and French toast. The portion sizes also outdid themselves - if you're coming here for brunch, just be prepared for a long nap in the afternoon! Service was excellent: prompt, helpful, and friendly. The interior is fairly spacious and elegantly decorated. Overall, a pleasant experience even if it's not the most spectacular - and perhaps worth a visit for some based on the aesthetics alone.

The salmon was great. I will keep returning! Oh also... A while ago I tried the grilled cheese burger. That was insane and so good. Soo bad for me but Soo good.

The empire state is a 10oz new york striploin and we could choose 2 sides. I chose seasame brown rice and and mixed vegetables. I asked for medium rare. Despite some distance in delivery, the food remained warm. The food was good. They got the medium rare perfectly. The only thing is, the crust was a little more charred for my liking and some parts of the steak was dry. I wouldn't mind going in store to try.

The spot is a bit cozier than what I had expected and the food selection was plenty. I did notice that some of the items mentioned on yelp were not on the menu which I assume to be seasonally changed. We had the mushroom croquettas, pulpo, tuna cheviche and the paella. I was not a big fan of mushroom croquettas but my siblings enjoyed it (I think it had shiitake mushrooms which I am not a big fan of). Tuna cheviche was okay. The paella and pulpo though...are a MUST! The service was great and the place started filling up right after we were seated - we did not have a reservation and were lucky to walk in when we did. I will definitely return to try other items on their menu.

Both are non-negotiable and always hit. We still like to switch it up sometimes, and this visit we tried a few different dishes: * Kataifi-Wrapped prawn tempura: crunchy, and the wasabi mayo was my favorite part. * Nagasaki Champon with ramen: cozy and comforting. * Grilled Squid with butter: simple and done right * Beef Brisket Yaki Soba: savory and satisfying, with bonito flakes doing their little dance on top. * Karaage: coming from someone who doesn't love greasy food, this one was not greasy at all and still juicy inside. Lowkey missing their grilled beef intestine though Great highball selection as well. We got the peach highball for the one who likes sweet, and the yuzu highball for the one who likes sour. I went with the Snow beer Sapporo, topped with shaved frozen beer. Such a nice way to keep the beer cold without diluting it. Service here has always been amazing, whether they're busy or not, and that's a big reason why I keep coming back.

Out of the dishes we ordered, my favourite would be: grill pork belly, taro chips, yaki soba, and the fried shrimp prawn. If you want some chewy squid, then you could order the squid.

The other issue would be finding a parking space. Otherwise, I would love to come back again.

Location: Main Street Newmarket Parking: there's a tonne of parking (free) in the area. The best part is, if you park in the lot behind the pub you can go in through the backdoor. Inside: There are booths and tables. There are two long tables i. The middle with raised seats. You can also sit in the windows and people watch. This is the type of place that looks like it has not been updated in our lifetime. They put their money into keeping the food and drink tasty. Im cool with that. Staff: Everyone I've ever has serve us has been so nice. Food: I think the food is terrific period the last time I went. I had the grilled cheese with chicken.
