This is probably one of the worst meals I've had this year…read more First off, my friends had been here the year before and loved it. So I joined them for dinner this year. A few good things - the restaurant is very lovely- large space, beautifully designed, open kitchen to see the cooks, and the staff were lovely! But the food, oh man. First, if you want to order paella, do so right away as they tell you it takes 40minutes. That way once you're done with apps and chatting with your friends, it will be done Ok - food wise, we ordered a bunch of apps and the mushroom paella (there was a vegetarian in the group). - the beet & ricotta app/bread. This was tiny - like half a beet chopped up, with a fig, and a few dollops of ricotta that had limited taste - the salmon tartare (probably the best app) had salmon, a few capers, and razor thin chips - patatas bravas - a potato dish. Meh. At least the potatoes were crispy. - the mushroom paella- no taste lol. I had one scoop and honestly that was enough for me. There was plenty leftover. Even tried adding hot sauce but it couldn't save the dish Save your appetite and money.

Stopped by for brunch at Next Door, located in the heart of Main St. Unionville. The restaurant is…read moreunique in a sense where it's situated in the historical Unionville Planing Mill. Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.

This is very popular brunch place in Markham - but the options are more limited up here. Came with…read moremy parents to see what the hype is about (a few years after the hype has died down, but oh well). I must say that I do understand why people are drawn to the restaurant - it is very pretty and makes for wonderful pictures! This includes the lovely visuals of the food, which is beautifully presented and extremely photogenic. The taste of the food, although quite acceptable, fell just a bit short of its looks. The variety of colours was not matched with a variety of flavours, and everything was somewhat on the salty and greasy side. That being said, we very much enjoyed the potato hash, pancakes, and French toast. The portion sizes also outdid themselves - if you're coming here for brunch, just be prepared for a long nap in the afternoon! Service was excellent: prompt, helpful, and friendly. The interior is fairly spacious and elegantly decorated. Overall, a pleasant experience even if it's not the most spectacular - and perhaps worth a visit for some based on the aesthetics alone.

Sat at bar table first time…read more Very good service, my server and bar tender was very friendly and very well service The food was great, the sake clam was so delicious, comes in a small pot over gas fire Skewers was so tasty especially the bacon wrapped tomatoes Parking not much at the plaza

Service was awesome, the decor and atmosphere is amazing…read more The food is less than desirable. But I will still give 5 stars for the service and decor. We were well taken care of by the servers who seemed always to be around. Whether to fill my tea or clear an empty plate. It was done promptly and efficiently. Inside also the atmosphere and overall aesthetics of this establishment is top notch. I will say the food was not to our liking as the sushi rolls were described to me by my party as supermarket quality. I did enjoy the "rye sliders" though but if judging a izakaya sushi place by their slider burgers. It doesn't match the experience. We did however attend on a birthday though and the complimentary cake exceeded our expectations. AGAIN The service is not lacking as I have previously stated, just to prove my point. ;)

Came here on a Friday night and had such a fun experience…read more The space has a great after dark vibe with dim lighting and neon accents, cozy but still lively. We ordered the oden set with yogurt soju, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the salmon fried udon with uni sauce. Everything was super comforting and flavorful, especially the oden on a cold night. What really made it stand out was the bingo game. It got the whole bar involved and made the night feel more interactive and social. We ended up chatting with a group nearby and even taught them a Malaysian yam seng cheers, which turned into a really fun moment. Great spot for a lively night out with good food and energy. Would come back.

Value for Experience -- 9/10 Strong value for the price. Easy to see this being a regular spot for many.

Came here recently with a bunch of friends. The food at this place was pretty good, I was…read moresurprised. This place is more of a place to hang out and listen to some good music and singers. I don't know if the singer was paid or a restaurant patron but they were impressive. It's kind of hard to talk with your friends here though due to the volume of music. Overall, an interesting place that's different than a regular sit down restaurant

Come for the vibes, stay for the music and drinks…read more This place is super vibey with it's beautiful interior. They have live music during certain times and the singers/ musicians are so good at what they do! They have a large menu with lots of late night snack Chinese bar items like bbq skewer meats, cold chicken dishes, surf clams, edamame, cold cucumber and more. Their drink menu is also very impressive with different cocktail options and non alcoholic drink options as well. Service is on point and there's always someone around to help you. They have one washroom stall on the main floor, but the main washrooms are down the stairs in the basement. Overall, this is a great place to hang with friends during the night. Come for food, drinks and live music all under one roof.

However, we did end up getting seated - maybe about 20 minutes after arriving. We tried out a bunch of dishes including all the skewers, oysters, scallop, potatoes, and more.

We ordered the Grilled Sausage, Beef, Pork Belly, Lamb Skewers, and Charcoal Grilled Oysters. The skewers were all solid, better than most places I've tried, and I especially enjoyed their spicy seasoning blend that adds great flavour to the BBQ meats. Surprisingly, the grilled sausage was my favourite, it was juicy with a nice snap and a slightly sweet yet savoury taste. The lamb, however, was a bit too gamy for my liking. The Charcoal Grilled Oysters were tasty but felt a bit overpriced for the portion size, garnished with the usual chilli and garlic sauce you find at most BBQ spots. Service was decent, with food arriving fairly quickly (around 15 minutes) after ordering via QR code. The seating is a little tight and the chairs are on the low side, but still comfortable enough. Getting seated right away in the evening is nearly impossible, so I recommend calling ahead or arriving early to secure a spot. The bar's cozy atmosphere enhanced by the dim lighting, wooden decor, and playful wall doodles adds to the overall experience.

What a vibe it is in here!…read more Ambiance in here is great with lots of unique neon signs. I love that there are these big patches of grass like plants that they use to separate each table, giving more privacy to everyone. The drinks here are definitely the highlight, since they're so beautiful and tasty. Can't remember the name of all the drinks, but just know that every single drink that was ordered at the table as so beautiful and so delicious. Really can't go wrong. The only thing that you need to avoid is their shaved ice dessert. It's literally chunks of ice with kellogs cereal. I was thinking it would be more of a bingsu texture but was quite disappointed. It didn't cost much and it's not known for a Korean bar to have this anyway, so just take it a tip not to order this one thing. Everything else was great and can't wait to go back!

I recently visited Feel90 and I was very impressed with the quality and customer service from my late night visit with my friends! Their drink selection ranges from bottles of soju and a select number of specialty cocktails that are inspired from recent trends. The food selection ranges from bar favorites such as skewers and army stew to comfort food classics in Kimchi Fried Rice and bulgogi tacos! Their marinated raw shrimp is also a great dish that pairs well with soju and is best enjoyed with rice! The bulgogi tacos are very refreshing and is a great appetizer to share with friends! The service was very smooth and pleasant as the wait staff were accommodating to my friend's dietary restrictions and our requests. I honestly can't wait for my next visit!

We recently celebrated a family birthday at fishbone for lunch and it was a great experience from…read moreservice to food. The restaurant is brightly lit with lots of natural sunlight, the decor is a mix of elegance and rustic at the same time. It's got an open and inviting feel. Our server was fantastic - very patient with a large group like ours, able to tell us right off the bat what is and is not customizable, recommendations of when to order to ensure flow works out. Food: Charbroiled octopus - one of my favorite dishes I tried - perfectly cooked, has a nice char, good meaty bits but not chewy, has a really nice chili oil on it. I can not stress how much I recommend getting this if you enjoy seafood. 5/5. Chorizo appetizer - comes out in a little pig plate with an open flame underneath. The chorizo itself is good with a nice spice, dense meat. The best part of this dish (IMO) is the spiced apple sauce on the side that cuts the richness of the sausage with a sweet and tangy apple and a little spice kick. 4.5/5. Bread - fresh baked bread with butter, a pumpkin jam and cheese. Everything on that plate works so well together. I definitely recommend this as an all rounding pleasing appetizer - 5/5. Beets - the beets were fresh with a vibrant orange colour. The apple, walnut and goat cheese all work together. I do wish this dish had a bit more but it works. 4.5/5. Brussel sprouts - amazing deep fried brussel sprouts - makes me want to always deep fry them for life. The spicy harissa sauce works well with the sprouts. Crunchy peanuts on top add both a texture and nuttiness that is refreshing to the brussel sprouts. 5/5. Oysters - super fresh, absolutely delicious without any condiments needed. Loved them. 5/5. Paella - this is definitely large enough for 2 people to eat so consider sharing unless you have a monster appetite. As with all their plates, it is beautifully constructed. The shrimp are huge and meaty. Mussels are plentiful, lots of chorizo and bay scallops. The rice has that really nice briny seafood flavor from the broth. It was just a teeny tiny bit overly salty to my taste but it's cut with the dollops of sour cream. Has this really nice low level heat that just works without burning your mouth. 4.5/5. Lamb sirloin - great crust on the lamb and cook as well. Flavorful sear and crust on the lamb with a soft tender meaty interior. Can't go wrong with- 5/5. Branzino - delicious flaky and light with a great grill. If you're interested in a fresh fish, this is a good choice. Was a special on the menu - 5/5. Prices: Fine dining pricing but you get the excellent food, service and experience for the price.

We started the meal with peach with baratta salad which was so refreshing. Next we got the grilled octopus which was nicely charred but I have to say the amount of octopus is pretty small for a dish that's almost $30. When I saw paella on the menu, I knew I had to get it. It was topped with seafood including 2 giant prawns, clams, mussels and sausages. The rice was cooked perfectly with bold flavours. However I felt that the seafood was slightly undercooked. We told our server and he asked the kitchen to cook us new shrimps right away. I would def recommend sharing this entree as the portion is enough for 2. We finished our meal with an affogato, which is no longer on the menu but our waiter kindly let us order. We loved the decor and vibe at this restaurant!
