They provided a beautiful dessert platter free of charge as well as a liqueur. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion or for a night out.

The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

The portions are generous. The accompanying sauces flavourful and I appreciate that the meats weren't overly salty and just perfectly seasoned. We ordered a platter for 4 to feed 3 adults and 2 hungry kids and we have plenty to spare for leftovers. Some of us also ordered the individual build your own, which is also quite affordable and reasonably priced. My fav has to be the ribs and brisket. The Mac and Cheese disappeared quickly. The staff was really friendly and helpful and there was plenty of seating on a Sunday evening when we dined as a group of 8. Asked everyone's rating at our table, they gave this experience a 4.5-5 stars all around. Definitely a spot we don't mind returning to!

So we had to call CAA and pay over 200 dollars for the service. So we said its whatever let's go to cheesecake factory to just celebrate our anniversary, and since we think we deserved it we went to the one at yorkdale. We went met a manager named ALEX a blessing in disguise, we ordered our food and cake he told us, "its on us" this guy is a saint and a good person for doing this i appreciate what he did and love that he did that. He didnt have to but he did and I praise him for it he gets more then 5 stars for the person and the customer service he has. Hes a gentleman and a scholar I thank you ALEX your a wonderful human being

I've always wanted to come here and finally had a chance to enjoy the environment and atmosphere…read more First off, we came in a Friday night and it was extremely busy. The wait time before we were seated was 45 minutes. But Boy was it worth it. The menu was full of abundant choices. We ordered 1. Slider burger appetizers 2. Egg rolls sampler appetizer 3. Louisiana chicken pasta 4. Chicken and shrimp gumbo 5. Shrimp tacos The food came in ridiculous large portions Wowza And everything tasted extremely flavourful We all were thoroughly full from all the food The only suggestion I have is to avoid the shrimp tacos. They came kinda soggy. But everything else was wonderful. We will definitely be back to enjoy this establishment as there is a reason they have been there so long An easy recommendation if you are looking for some casual dining of American fusion cuisine.

I got the large sized bowl which was listed as an appetizer. I wasn't feeling too hungry so this was just enough for me. They had a happy hour menu which had cocktails and some food on discount as well. The only thing is they weren't able to get a large table for us (we were a group of 8) so we were seated in a booth and grabbed extra high chairs. If you are coming with a large group it's better off making a reservation in advance. This was a more spontaneous walk in experience for us so I understand they might not be able to accommodate large groups right away.

The corn bread is a little dry but I enjoyed it with the excess sauce and beans and slaw. Heads up, if dining in,the only water available is bottled water. Not much seating - only a few tables of 4. But not much waiting needed as I guess most people get take out. If dine in, they take your order at the table and the service was friendly overall.

~ A 4.5 Star all the way~…read more This restaurant serves Mandi also know as Arabic kabsah. Kabsa is a family of mixed rice dishes that originates from Saudi Arabia and Yemen, where it is commonly regarded as a national dish. Whereas, Mandi is a traditional Yemeni dish. Mandi is usually made from rice, meat (lamb or chicken), and a mixture of spices. Basically these types of shops specialize in mainly one thing on the menu... Chicken Mandi and lamb Mandi. In Middle east, it is common to have a big dish with rice and couple of chickens on it. People sit around it and start munching on it in the same dish. Now that is out of the way. Lets talk about the experience. The Restaurant itself is quite big and has enough seating. The owner only takes cash but has an ATM on site. The restaurant is a MOM/POP shop as he and his wife are running and cooking from what I could have guessed. The food is cooked fresh and takes time to cook. The owner already informed us before hand and we knew there will be wait time and let me tell you it was all worth it. I ordered Chicken Mandi. The lunch meal came with half chicken over rice, a salad, sauce, banana and a drink. Wow, the food was fresh and hot off the stove. The chicken was cooked to perfect and very soft to eat. I loved the meal! Just make sure to account for 30 mins of cooking time or call in advance. Great meal will definitely go and try their Lamb Mandi. For My Muslim bros and Sisters - they serve halal meat

Happy to say it lived up to the hype. The interior is beautiful, chic, warm, and very inviting without feeling pretentious. Service was excellent throughout the night. We did the prix fixe set menu, which included the chicory salad, shrimp cocktail, ham plate, chicken wings, G.P. wedge, black cod, roast chicken, English chips, charred broccolini, and finished with crème caramel and a seasonal English pudding. Everything was really well done, and I especially appreciated how many vegetable-forward dishes were included. It didn't feel like the usual carb-and-protein-heavy set menu. The charred broccolini, black cod, ham plate, and G.P. wedge were definite standouts. All simple dishes on paper, but packed with bold, rich flavours. Portion sizes were also great. I've been to a few nicer client dinners where I still leave a little hungry, but that wasn't the case here at all. They also had several non-alcoholic drink options, which was nice to see and thoughtfully done. Overall, General Public delivered on food, service, and atmosphere. It felt polished but still approachable, and I can easily see why it's getting so much attention. A great spot for a client dinner and somewhere I'd happily return on my own too.
