Tenderloin
Cindy L.

Due to current situation, I am thankful for restaurants that are following protocol and keeping things clean. This restaurant definitely made my s/o and I safe during our dine in experience last Saturday. There were plastic barrier (?) between each table to provide a safe dining experience and mask mandatory was implemented. My s/o and I ordered the following: * White Wine Garlic PEI mussels * French Onion Soup * 8oz Beef Tenderloin Overall, service was exceptional and attentive from refilling our waters to asking if we needed anything or asking how our food was. It was refreshing from the hustle whenever dining in GTA Toronto. Onto the food, the mussels were flavourful and paired well with the bread provided. French onion soup was OK but not something I can rave about. Tenderloin was good and cooked to our liking (medium rare). It was tender and not over cooked or dry - the mashed potatoes paired well with the steak. So would I recommend this place? Most definitely and next time I'll be interested to try out their pasta. Stay safe my fellow Yelpers and support the local businesses if possible through takeout and delivery (if available).

Delicious Food! Very Welcoming and friendly service. It all took a while, but I highly recommend checking this place out!

a plate of pasta with chicken

This was the first time my wife & I attended this restaurant. The food was delicious and was prepared perfectly. The service was professional and friendly. Lauren was our server and she was particularly awesome - great service, personality, & recommendations. I had the Pecan crusted chicken & my wife enjoyed the gorgonzola penne thanks to Lauren's suggestions. We'll be back! Carpe Diem !

A friend and I went to the restaurant for lunch. Food was quite good as was the wine. Service was very good. I would go for lunch again.

Spencer's at the Waterfront delivered a really enjoyable dining experience, with a few standout…read moredishes and excellent service. The highlight of the meal was definitely the oysters. They were incredibly fresh, a great size, and absolutely delicious. At $4 each they're definitely on the pricey side, but if you're planning a visit, Wednesday after 5 p.m. is the best time to go for their half-price oyster special. We also ordered the burrata paired with their focaccia bread, which was very good. While it wasn't the best burrata I've ever had, it was still a solid 4/5 and worth ordering. The bread alone was very tasty and fresh. The truffle parmesan fries were a bit of a letdown (3/5). They came topped with a very thick, mayo-based sauce that wasn't the most appetizing. I think I'd have enjoyed them much more if the sauce had been served on the side for dipping, but that's just my personal preference. The cocktails were a mixed bag. The Sunset Skies was easily our favourite and one I'd happily order again. Unfortunately, the High Noon wasn't for me--it had a very floral flavour that I found unpalatable. What really made the experience exceptional was the service. Our server was incredibly attentive and noticed that I hadn't touched my High Noon cocktail. Without hesitation, they offered to replace it with another drink of my choice and removed the original cocktail from our bill. That level of attentiveness and customer service really stood out. Overall, the food was enjoyable, the cocktails had a standout winner, and the service was outstanding. I'd definitely return, especially for the oysters on Wednesday evenings. Service was a 5/5.

The oysters were to die for. The scallop crudo was a hit & the tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection. My favourite was the mushrooms & parmesan fries. Service was exceptional & we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The only reason i'm giving 4/5 stars is because of the bathroom & the lobster. The lobster was quite chewy & unappealing so for the price I was expecting a lot more. The bathroom stall was a mess with pee all over the floor.

I can't say enough about how much I love the food at J&B Family Restaurant. It's easy to miss if…read moreyou don't know to look for it, but it's the definition of a hidden gem. They had a sign out advertising BOGO 50% off schnitzel meals for I think Monday - Thursday. I dined in on a Saturday, so we couldn't take advantage of the deal. The restaurant has taken several precautions to stay safe with Covid and I was happy they were able to accommodate our party of 2. They had many reservations and people coming in for takeout throughout our meal. It made me very happy to see that they were staying busy even with restrictions in place! We can Caesar salads, the fried mushrooms, and gypsy schnitzel. Absolutely everything was perfect. The homemade bread is soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet. Their Caesar salad is probably the best I've ever had. Something about it is so delicious and unique. The fried mushrooms come with a very nice dipping sauce and were yummy. They have a very thin layer crunchy breading on them. Be careful because they come out very hot and can be very juicy! They gypsy schnitzel was amazing and I opted to have it unbreaded. You don't miss the breading with all of the sauce on top. The home fries were also very tasty! I don't like dill very much, so I didn't enjoy my veggies. That is entirely a personal preference, and next time I will order them without dill. The staff is very kind and welcoming. We learned a lot about the restaurant, the best dishes to order, and much more. It was a wonderful dining experience.

We were here for a weekend lunch and there were folks there for a late breakfast as well as another family with small children having a meal together. Based on the phone calls, it sounded like the place was booked full out that evening. We had (table of four): - Mixed Grill Platter (for two): it fed more like 3 - 4 people, lots of variety to pick at; Sausage (pork), Chevaps (pork and beef sausages), Raznjici (pork), Chicken Schnitzel and Karadjordjeva Schnitzel (Pork rolled & stuffed with prosciutto and cottage cheese) - Vienna Schnitzel (pork) - all the dishes comes with (potatoes OR rice) AND vegetables (buttered carrots, beans, broccoli, cauliflower); various potato sides (like crispy fries) as available and rice (like tomato gypsy based) There was enough food for four people plus leftovers as a side for dinner. The sauce was great on everything from the schnitzel to the fries. Service was quick, food was great, and it was all at a great value. Will be back to try their buttered fried mushrooms and nature (mushroom) schnitzel in future. A local staple!

The tables were full while were there...we had to flag a waiter to get our order. Once that was done, the food came fast. We ordered many dishes to try. I have no complaints at all, and here are some of my favourites: Veal steak - nice and tender. And I love the sauce which has a kick to it. Cabbage rolls - a must try!!!!!!! Hummus- super tasty with the bread Osso buco - the meat was very good with the sauce it was in I love the live entertainment. The guy was talented!!!

I'm always searching for Eastern European food as I missed this food that I used to get in Etobicoke but it's a little far from Markham so now I finally found one that is close by.If uou're looking for something new to try, give this place a try! Their meat dumplings (Plemeny)in mushroom sauce is delicious.Tibetan Mo mo used to be my favorite dumplings but now is Russian Plemeny dumplings. For our mains, we got the grilled salmon skewer and Beef Stroganoff to share for the 3 of us us since our appetizers,perogies, borsh soup and meatdumplingsitems were more substantial (not light dishes)so we didn't need individual maiins. They also give you a basket of complimentary bread slices to start so I recommend you get get the Egggplant Ikura spread cause it goes nicely with the bread(double check that you'll get bread).Since this was our first visit I'm not dure if they always give bread.Booth maindishes were delicious! I like to try their cabbage rolls on our next visit! I actually have a long list of items to try on our next visit so we'll definitely be back!
