The food was wonderful and I'm definitely going to be booking for future events. Came here a couple weeks ago, at least a month ago and parents wanted to have some oysters and hang out so again we came in - order a couple dishes and again the client service is fantastic and the food is great and flavorful. The oysters were a little bit smaller, but they did pre-warn us, which is fantastic. The drinks were delicious. Hands-down would recommend coming here. I do want to come and try their brunch at some point as well. I have to mention if you can get the vanilla bean crème brûlée it is divine.

Kind servers too!

We were out and about and looking for somewhere to grab a drink and some food, and we happened upon…read moreBar Neon. I'd been many years ago and remembered digging the place, so I figured it was the perfect choice. We walked in and the place was pretty full, but we did manage to snag a couple of spots at the bar. Our server was super friendly and helpful, and if we were in the mood for a pizza, he recommended The G.O.A.T. ("Monforte chevre, Kasseri, charred green peppers, arugula-walnut pesto, house pickled hot jalapenos, honey, everything bagel crust"), so that's exactly what we got. It's a great pizza. I was a little taken aback by the sweetness on my first bite, but as I kept eating, I discovered that the various toppings all worked really well together. I had intended to just have a slice and take the rest home, but it was so delicious we wiped the whole thing out. We also grabbed a couple of cocktails and they were terrific, too. Bar Neon rocks.

It was a tasty and easy to drink mezcal drink with a bit of chocolate and topped with a lime leaf. I had the steak tartare with mushrooms. It was fun and slightly vinegar-ed. I had pan con tomate and unfortunately, it was a bit bland. I don't think the tomatoes were sweet nor flavorful enough so I ended up putting the steak tartare on top. I also had their smoked sardine and egg and surprisingly, it was my favorite. The sardines were quite good! The waitstaff is nice and always ready with a smile. There's limited space and even more limited seating.. as in half the people were just standing because there weren't any chairs. Seems like a great (first) date spot and pre bar hopping restaurant.

Visited Function on a Saturday night for happy hour, about 20 minutes after they opened. The place…read morewas virtually empty. The restaurant is a lot more spacious than its outside would hint at. Their happy hour menu knocks a couple dollars off some of their regular menu items. I decided to go with the shrimp tacos and they were surprisingly good - I was expecting an average taco but it was yummy and I'd actually order it again. My one qualm is that on the happy hour menu, it doesn't indicate it, but the shrimp tacos are actually $2 more. I'd love to revisit on a night when they have a live music performance, to try more items off the happy hour menu.

Came during their happy hour and got the shrimp tacos. The sauce, which we think we from the pico…read morede gallo, was delicious and the shell was perfectly thin and crunchy. The menu didn't indicate that the shrimp tacos costed $2 extra (this is indicated on their regular menu) so it came as a surprise on the bill. The restaurant is located downstairs and the space was larger than I expected it to be. They have a corner with a stage and looks like they have live music sometimes. Since we came when they just opened for the night and were their first customers/only ones there, there was only 1 worker who was doing stuff around the restaurant and was hard to get his attention sometimes. Location is convenient - just a couple mins walk from the subway station.

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.

Take the stairs to the covered rooftop... a lovely bar with dining booths and lounge seating, all with a perfectly cooled indoor-outdoor vibe. Downstairs, the first floor has a cozy, antique feel with all indoor seating. Food highlights: * Hamachi Crudo: Fresh and nicely portioned, though we wished for a little more citrus and zest. * Beef Burger: Excellent. the bacon jam and aioli take it over the top. * Roasted Half Chicken with chimichurri: Cooked perfectly, juicy inside, ultra-crispy skin, with lemon and herbs adding a bright punch. * Roasted Mushrooms: Generous portion and a win for mushroom lovers. Cocktails are beautifully presented and well-balanced. All around, a great choice for a date night or a larger group looking for something special but relaxed.

On Wednesdays, they have a special on their baos (3 sets of 2 baos for $33). Service was great and included recommendations from the staff. For drinks, we had the Stolen Tiki and the Widow's Kiss which were both great. We ordered the Laab Style Beef Tartare and an assortment of baos, including the beef bulgogi, korean fried chicken, and pork adobo. The tartare was out-of-this-world and super addicting due to the spice! It paired so well with the fragrant taro chips, and even my partner who is French said it was one of the best tartares he's had recently (although don't expect a traditional steak tartare). The pork adobo bao came dressed with spicy mango mayo and pickled cucumber. The cut was pork belly which was extremely rich, so the citrus from the sauce and cucumber were perfect to cut the fat. I loved that the cucumber was just slightly pickled rather than using the typical pickles which are too tart for me. The bulgogi sirloin was our favourite due to the balance of flavours. The fried chicken was good, but came with more of a honey sauce rather than a gochujang sauce as described since there was no spice (maybe the wrong sauce was used?) Would definitely come back to enjoy their happy hour and tartare again.

It's such a small detail, but it makes the whole experience even better.
