The biggest issue was the incredibly slow service--waiting for each dish felt like an eternity. While the staff was friendly, the food itself didn't live up to the hype. What looked promising on the menu ended up being underwhelming on the plate, lacking the flavor and quality I had hoped for. There's definitely potential here, but they need to work on both their timing and their execution in the kitchen.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience!…read more We contacted Michael & Marion's to host my son and now daughter-in-law's wedding, as we've always loved both the food and service there. From start to finish, it was hands-down the best choice we could have made. Kent, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to deal with -- professional, accommodating, and completely transparent. He clearly outlined what was available and what to expect, with no hidden costs or "nickel and diming." When it looked like our ceremony venue might fall through, he even offered us the restaurant space as a backup, which was such a thoughtful gesture (thankfully, we didn't need it -- but the offer said everything about their level of care). We met with Kent twice and Jade once, and the process felt almost too easy -- so informal and effortless that I thought it might be too good to be true. But it wasn't. When we arrived on the big day, everything was exactly as promised -- and even better than I had imagined. Throughout the evening, Jade and the entire team were incredible. They were attentive, professional, and seemed to anticipate every need before we even had to ask. I never once felt like I had to manage a thing. The food was phenomenal, the service outstanding, and the atmosphere absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Michael & Marion's for any event or special occasion. I'm eternally grateful to Kent, Jade, and their team for making this day so smooth, memorable, and truly perfect. Angela McKeown

The Royal York Fairmont Library Bar This place was busy when I got here on a weeknight, but with the location right next to the entertainment district, I can see why. I couldn't even get a seat for the first bit. Standing room only. I got a seat later after a patron left. Friendly bartenders/servers. The lounge is located off to the left when you enter the hotel and is a bit separated/closed off from the rest of the hotel lobby. The hotel and the lounge is certainly grand. It looks like there was a top to bottom reno and gave the overall ambience a nice upscale vibe. I like it. There was the occasional ball cap and hoodie in here, but generally it was a more mature and casual to classy crowd. I'll be back. Likely in 2027. Anecdotally, why are the women always, and I do mean ALWAYS, dressed better than the men in general? I go to a lot of lounges, more than you've been to in two or three years combined total, and this is no exception. Bring some A-game gents!

The menu has a big variety so it's good for large groups and the portions are generous. So far I've ordered their braised beef mac & cheese and their ragu sausage risotto. I would get the Mac & cheese again but the risotto didn't have as much meat. The boys either get the burgers and wings, and they like it! The seafood bisque as a side for the wings was really good. The spinach dip was decent but nothing too special. The banana cheesecake was pretty unique and had a good consistency but it gets pretty sweet so i definitely recommend sharing.

So they lost our business rather than let us sit at one of the 6 bigger empty tables. it was really too bad because we have always loved the food at Low Down but now they lost us as customers.
