So basically this review is about my Mom's basement. There's a washer, and a bunch of boxes containing my stuff. Upstairs there food and all the eminities. Sometimes I see this old broad, who looks very familiar, walking around. Sometimes she will yell random things at me like "Did you shower today?" Anyhoots, 5/5. Staff is "relatively" friendly yet will admonish and lecture you; usually about women. A bonus with this place: they will lend you money as long aa you don't tell her it's for beer. Highly recommended. FREE PARKING!! Drew's Reviews

I've never experienced such a refusal of service & racism in my entire life... the bartender was…read morenot welcoming at all.. he skipped me to help 2 white gentlemen and didn't ask them for a card to pay first... He was very hesitant to serve me, looks me up and down... He made me pay before even receiving my drink. I asked for a Jameson neat.... He serves it to me in a shot glass. If you are a bartender that's something you should be knowledgeable about. This place is not welcoming at all.. and definitely wouldn't recommend l, consider or even try to come back. Especially when the bartender has hygiene issues. Also he tells everyone that comes in that he can make them whatever they like; which is not possible at all due to limited experience in bartending and limited supplies. In my past, I have experience in bartending/service industry. As I know what they go through with people I'm a really great tipper. But for something like this, just broke my heart. It's really not welcoming and such disappointment in today's society when it's your first time in Toronto.

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.

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.

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.

It was Friday night, we just saw how crowded it was downstairs at the Little Sister Indonesian restaurant. So out of curiosity, we went up stairs and found this amazing little place! It's a very intimate space, small and cozy! Perfect for a date or friends get together. There is a bar where you can sit at, or at the lovely wrap around velvet sofa. The decor is lovely, definitely played a big role in the vibe. As for the drinks, they had a pretty interesting menu of cocktails, a small but carefully curated selection of wine, also had all the traditional drinks you would want. Definitely will come back to this place for a date night!

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.

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.

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.

Everything was genuinely great, especially for the price. For a spot so close to the clubs, it's an awesome place to grab food during a night out. We had someone in our group who's gluten-free, and they were happy to sub rice noodles into one of the dishes. It was thoughtful of them to accommodate, but the rice noodles soaked up the sauce too much and clumped together, making it hard to eat.
