Their patio is like a little hidden gem but we elected to sit inside. The booths inside are huge. We ordered appetizers to share as it was late on a Sunday. We had the pork tacos, shrimp dumplings and the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. We did order the potatoe skins but they ran out of that item. The shrimp dumplings are yummy. The pork tacos was good but missing a flavour (recommended a slaw to help). The best dish is the peanut chicken satay noodle salad. Crunchy, peanuty and limey. All the flavours to make the salad fresh and tasty. Overall, a good eatery to try out. Just note parking is quite limited and the dishes are pricey.

The Pilsner Urquell served in their matching mug was a nice touch. Two floors, downstairs more casual, an outside sitting area for when the weather cooperates. Lots of TVs showing sports. The food is good. Had grilled fish tacos with a side of fries. The nachos app was just ok. Their burgers are excellent. Prices are starting to creep up a bit. Service is friendly and very welcoming.

As a 72 year old fun seeker, this Pedal Pub bike experience totally exceeded my expectations!…read more Our mother-daughter outing turned into a memory we will always recall with ridiculously huge smiles on our faces. Our pictures & videos say it all. Our pilots, Owen and Sean, were personable, fun, sincere, charming and great dancers which totally put us at ease :) The biking was easy. In fact, every detail of the trip was perfection. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN.! A totally unexpected highlight were the reactions of the people we passed on the streets. They immediately started smiling, waving, dancing and singing along with us with surprising abandon. SO FUN!!! Customer service was genuine, attentive, and incredibly responsive from start to finish. Much appreciated. No matter your age, this is an experience everyone should try at least once. I'm already planning my next rides with family and friends!

Pedal Captain Andrew and safety guide Alex really took care of us and Andrew was an amazing hype man! We had a blast! The inital fee is just for the transportation and awesome entertainment going around the city. But being a part of the Pedal Party you get great discounts at the bars you stop at, including the Blue Moon that you start at. They ask that you arrive 30mins early but if you complete your waiver online you can get there around 5-10mins ahead. But come early if you're keen on having a few pints at Blue Moon with the discounted rate before your Pedal and chat with your new crew. You won't be going back to your starting point but you'll end up a bar where you can take your time and enjoy good company. This was a great way to meet new people and check out bars I'd normally wouldn't step into unless I happened to be in the area Googling. I highly recommend this for any occasion! Pedal safe, party hard! TIP: Helmet is optional but you'll HAVE to wear it the whole time if you ask for one. Bring some cash to tip the crew! But you can also scan a QR code to pay them online.

Food is a hit n miss too, someone from our group got ill from the food. It is dimly lit which is good, clean washroom. But our trip was soured by poor service. Management needs to look at the customer service aspect as you get mixed service. Price is avg, not overly expensive, just middle of the line pricing.

Ordered several craft beers on tap & the two gents tending bar were great conversation without being annoyed we were chatty (here ahead of a concert at the Danforth) If you haven't had their food, or been in for a beer or cocktail, do yourself a favour and go. No reservations & the special will sell out fast! So get in if you see one on their instagram you want to try. You won't be let down!

There is a bar area and then a section with a couch and chairs to fill the rest of the bar. The cocktails were good, but not amazing. My old fashioned was way too sweet, but still a good mix. The food was good. Tried a few tacos and the chicken skewers. The prices are a litle high but expected in this area. All in all a great option in an area with little options.

I ordered a couple of beers and my Wife Caesar, She has been craving them since the first lock down. There not much on the beer menu as I am a craft beer fan. The closest they had were Sleeman's and Creemore. The beers were just that, average beers and this is no fault of the Silly Goose. But my Wife was very satisfied with her Caesar's she proceeded to order 2 more LOL. The food was okay. I found my BLT a bit wet at the bottom of the bread. The fries were just average. My gravy was a bit tangy. The wings from another table smelled devine but next time I might just stick with the drinks.

There's a second floor available with outside seating as well. Staff is attentive and quick, really similar to all other Joeys. Ceviche is new on the menu it seems and I'm so glad we ordered it. It was so beautifully presented and a delicious taste! Tangy and spicy. It was perfect and I don't eat spicy. The baja tacos had too much veggies so it honestly doesn't look presentable in my opinion. But taste was really good, my friend enjoyed all the food. My favourite here is the ravioli bianco and the ravioli was too dry, needed a little more sauce. I would come back here for sure!

During happy hour, my pregnant wife wanted to order the cheeseburger special that included a beer or glass of wine. She asked if she could substitute the alcoholic drink for a fountain drink instead, but our server was very firm that no substitutions were allowed. What made it even more confusing was that the hostess at the front was incredibly kind and proactive, offering a non-alcoholic alternative to the complimentary champagne. Because of that, it felt odd that swapping an alcoholic beverage for what would likely be a less expensive fountain drink wasn't possible. The food was good, as always, and we still enjoyed our meal. It was just the rigidity around such a simple request that took away from the overall experience. Especially as we were celebrating our last date night before our new baby arrived. Hopefully it's something the restaurant considers in the future, especially for guests who are pregnant or simply don't drink alcohol.

In all the decades of my food and beverage experience, this was, by far the most arrogant, self entitled and out right rude service I have ever personally experienced. This is unfortunate for the owners as I heard good things, but after my saucy bartenders myopic, naive and rude insulting communication style, I could not help but feel unwanted and worse actually insulted. 0 score for customer experience. myellf and friends plus area neighbours will not be back unless the rude dude is not front of house staff anymore.

We arrived around 4:15 pm at which time it was fairly barren inside and a 2-piece band (singer/guitarist and pianist) were performing. As there were only 2 musicians and the lady was playing an acoustic guitar, the music wasn't too loud so my friends and I could converse comfortably. My friends and I ordered drinks only and I chose to have 1/2 pint of Spearhead's Hawaiian Style Pale Ale which is one of my favourite beers. It was only $5 (+ tax & tip) which was a good deal. It was quite enjoyable to pop into the venue for a drink and some live entertainment.
