I stopped by Chances R on my way to Montreal because I was looking for a breakfast restaurant…read more Looking at their menu it seems like they're more lunch and dinner oriented with about 5 breakfast options. I got the breakfast with meat and pancakes. Everything was good. Service was fast. It was a week before Christmas on a Thursday and the restaurant was packed. They gave us the last seat without a reservation. Overall a pleasant experience, my only complaint is that they only gave me 2 slices of bacon. I feel like that's not a lot. Everything else was great.

We sat at a table beside the bar, and it was nice and secluded from the rest of the restaurant. Very pleased that I booked here at this restaurant for our reunion get together. We had a great time! Thanks again, Sam! You're truly a professional!

We had not gone to a Kelsey's in awhile since we had always considered it to be more for young families. Seeing what was available, it only reinforced that even more. There was a lot of kid friendly choices.Fortunately, we opted for more of an adult choice: Nachos with avocado and tomato sauce and battered fish. We placed our order on the mobile app.(This is a great time saver when ordering during this exceptional time). We called in to this restaurant who told us it would take at least 1 hour. So we had timed our arrival so that our meals would still be warm when we took them back home. Only one criticism, you couldn't text them to say we were in the front of the restaurant. We had to present ourselves to the front entrance to pickup our meals...and we waited about another 10 minutes. I think this is more due to the fact that pickups and curbsides was still something new and the limited staff seemed overwhelmed. To our surprise, it tasted pretty good. Even better with our Organic beers from LCBO. $$

After shopping up a storm at various stores in the vicinity, I looked up and saw a Kelseys. I…read moredecided to drive over there on a hot summer day. There were folks on the patio. I wanted air conditioning. I walked in and was promptly seated at a table by the window, looking at the patio. It's nice to feel like I'm out on the patio, but I'm not. My server decided to greet me two tables away. That's just downright odd. He wasn't even staring at me when he did that. He didn't really talk at a normal voice throughout my stay. I suppose that since there were many older folks at this restaurant, he had to raise his voice to be heard. Frankly, I could have heard him across the restaurant with the music blasting. It was a huge turnoff, even though I'm sure Peter is a lovely person when he isn't serving folks in their sixties and older. Anyway, I ordered a Diet Pepsi and got it with a lime wedge. I was so thirsty that I eventually got a refill and downed most of it. I ordered my usual, which was New York-style wings with sea salt and black pepper. It comes with veggie sticks and ranch dip. My wings were good, except that it felt like someone went crazy with the black pepper shaker. Hey, I could have dipped my wings in a container of black pepper, too. The veggies were a nice contrast and were crisp. For dessert, I gave the chocolate berry cake with vanilla ice cream. By the time this dessert was given to me, the vanilla ice cream has slid to the plate's edge. The cake was okay. I wouldn't get it again, though. I'd sooner have the ice cream! This Kelseys is simply average. I have had better at other locations. I was pleased to get my SCENE card swiped. I collected 15x the points. There's the silver lining visiting this Kelseys. (282)

The Short Version: Chain restaurant with everyday Happy…read moreHour. Food is good for what it is. Friendly service. The Long Version: State and Main is a Canadian chain restaurant that started out in Calgary, AB. I feel it's similar to Moxies. Most items are not made from scratch and the menu while it has creative elements is never all that adventurous. It's a great restaurant for a mixed group. Those meat and potatoes types will find something inoffensive to them, and those with a more adventurous palate won't be too bored. I'm a bit critical of chain restaurants in general because I prefer small independently owned mom and pop shops where everything is made from scratch, and usually with love and passion. My preference is no secret to anyone who knows me. However, I feel that State and Main is one of the better chains. I went to State and Main with 2 of my friends for a late lunch that coincided with their Happy Hour. Their Happy Hour is 2-5pm and 9pm to close, 7 days a week. Their Happy Hour is not that much of a deal though as you only save $1.50-$3 off the regular menu prices, depending on the item. It's not like those half-price Happy Hours. I started with a State Soda (HH $6, regularly $8). I enjoyed it because it wasn't too sweet. It was vodka, club soda and a tiny bit of their signature "slush." I was going to get their soup dumplings, but cannot have sesame seeds and was advised that the packaging on the dumplings said "contains sesame" so I opted to get the Baja Brussels Sprouts instead. I asked for them to go light on the sauce, as I don't like my food too saucy and our lovely server, Dakota, suggested that I get the sauce on the side. Which was a fantastic idea! I also got a side portion of their mixed greens salad with the dressing on the side ($5.50). The Brussels sprouts were very good. They were crispy on the outside and had powdered Parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. There was also bacon and roasted red peppers pieces in the dish. The lime and cilantro sauce that came on the side was almost not really needed because the Brussels sprouts tasted good as is. I did try a bit of the sauce and it was pleasant. I would get the Brussels sprouts again. The mixed greens salad was better than I expected. It was a true mixed greens salad and not just romaine lettuce or the dreaded (well, I dread it because it's cheapie filler IMO) iceberg lettuce (it actually had no iceberg lettuce, yahoo!). It also had beets, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and roasted chickpeas. Nothing too wild, but a bit more oomph than your run-of-the-mill garden salad. A few of the romaine spines were browning, but otherwise the other ingredients were fresh. I enjoyed the dijon vinaigrette and am happy I got it on the side because I used less than half of it. One friend got the State Smash cocktail ($10 HH menu, regularly $12) and she enjoyed the raspberry flavour. She also got the Chili Coconut Calamari ($16 HH menu, regularly $18.50). She wasn't as happy with her meal as found it a bit too spicy and found the calamari not large or plump enough. Visually the calamari did look rather small and not meaty. My other friend got the Baja Tacos with fries from their regular menu ($19). She really enjoyed her meal and the tacos looked great. The fish was battered and deep-fried. The fries were thicker cut but looked to be slightly battered or at least seasoned, and very crispy. We had a lovely time and our server, Dakota, was friendly and helpful. There was a slight error in our bills as the Happy Hour foods were charged at regular prices, but when I pointed this out, it was quickly fixed. The decor I would describe as "casual plus." It's a bit more elevated than casual. They have fun framed prints on the walls. It has a pub feel. The restaurant is in the Gloucester Centre complex. It's not part of the actual mall though. Lots of free parking available in the shopping complex parking lot. #72 (2026)

We arrived on time for our reservation, and were seated immediately. It looked like a nice place, so was looking forward to my meal. Our host provided the menus and poured our water to start, and said our server would show up shortly. Well, my wife went to go to the washroom, and came back, and our server still hadn't show up. So I'm guessing it took him about 10 minutes to get to us. We tried the following: - Fresh Cut Fries: Ok. I was expecting regular shoesting like fries, but they were more like home fries. They came with ketchup, but not the mentioned aioli. - Bruschetta: Ok. It tasted good, and the bread held up, so no complaints - Tuna Poke Bowl: Ok. Very large size, easily shared by two people. But rather cheap on the tuna portion. Service did not get any better. Food took awhile to get served, and our server didn't check up on us until 20 min later when we were nearly done. He was very nice, but timing was really off. Considering it wasn't very busy in the restaurant, I'm not sure what the problem was. Overall, it didn't really meet expectations. Nice looking place, but food was average, and service was below average. Completely forgettable experience with no reason to return.
