We went on the Toronto Boat Parties "Air Show" cruise on the River Gambler and were highly…read moredisappointed. This was advertised as a 3-hour boat tour specifically to watch the Toronto Air Show. We bought tickets ONLY for the air show. First, they changed the date from September 5th to September 6th and refused refunds. Then they boarded us late, so we were only on the boat for about 2.5 hours and actually sailing for roughly 2 hours. Most importantly, we saw NONE of the air show. The boat basically went in a small circle, never getting more than about 10 minutes from the dock. That was the "tour." We didn't buy tickets for a regular harbour cruise -- we bought an Air Show cruise that was advertised as a way to watch the air show. We didn't see any of it. Highly disappointing and misleading.

Was pretty much disorganised and misleading. We "thought" we were attending a boat cruise to watch…read morethe Snowbird planes and CNE flight show. However, apparently it was originally advertised as an ABBA party which was not advertised on the site I went to. The site said to be there for 11:30. We get there just after 11am and then find out boarding isn't till noon. Standing in the sun for almost an hour. A family was in front of us with 2 young boys. They waited and waited like we all did. We and they finally go to start to board the boat and they are in told that no children are allowed because there is alcohol on this boat. What a *hitshow. The boat is docked next to a golf driving range. There is black netting over the entire boat to protect it from the golf balls!! You are looking through thick black netting, not open air!!! So now my partner and I have been waiting 1 hour to board the boat. We get on, DJ music blaring. Eventually a bunch of women all dressed in 70's ourfits tell us it's an "ABBA" party. Huh?!!! So you have to look at the sky through thick black netting, a little like being in a cage. DJ music blaring for 5 hours. Somehow they had a singer to do fo the "ABBA" songs which basically sounded like not great karioke. Maybe this was a good boat at one time in the past, but personally I will NEVER go on this boat again. Thankfully the airshow was pretty good and it was a nice day, so it wasn't a total loss.

The narrator had great energy and you can tell she either really loved her job or she enjoyed telling customers the history of the Toronto waterfront. I can't quite remember her name (apologies!) but our tour was on 05/27/19 at noon and our crew (especially the girl who gave the narration) had amazing humor, charm, and sass. We had also missed our 11am tour because we ran late in storing our luggage at a nearby storage locker and the staff person at the window had no issues rescheduling us for the 12pm tour. Amazing!

The two person crew did a great job both driving the boat and talking about the sights we were seeing. I enjoyed learning a bit more about the city. One heads up...the stairs down into the main seating area are extremely steep. It's only a few, and the railings are sturdy, but for someone with balance or mobility challenges this could be hard. It might be worth calling ahead to see if space on the small back upper level is prioritized for those who can't navigate the stairs.

As disappointing as this is, I could understand. But, the company also refused a reimbursement and only offered a raincheck. This felt extremely unprofessional, and i felt devalued as a customer. This was supposed to be our first visit, and as a father with young kids, if this was a good experience, we could've become return customers. Not any more.

A solid, reliable convention centre…read more I don't get out to this venue nearly often enough, but my experiences with the Waterside Inn have always been fantastic. I came out here a couple days ago for a press conference and was once again impressed by the experience. The decor is clean and well-maintained, and there were a horde of servers on-hand after the event to dole out hors d'oeurves, including bruschetta, egg rolls, skewers with beef, cheese and peppers (so good) and more. The staff were all very helpful and directed people where they needed to go, and the conference went off without a hitch. Definitely a great place in the village if you're looking to host an event. Recommended.

Marlene did an amazing job with coordinating everything we wanted and hoped for our wedding. She was able to provide us with different options that worked out better for our guests and ourselves. The place looked amazing on our big day. The staff did a wonderful job making sure our guests were well taken care of. The food was great (nothing was brought out cold ) and their house wine was delicious. The price was a bit expensive (ie we had to provide our own head table and chair decorations/ back drops and lighting) however at the end you really do get what you pay for. Overall I was very happy with everything the hotel had to offer on my very special day!

I've been here twice now…read more Last year I came to see Marina right up front. A pleasant surprise is when the staff started throwing water bottles between the opener and Marina and didn't stop until everyone who wanted one got one. This year, I purchased a mezzanine box seat to see Poppy. Great view of the stage. Great service. We weren't crazy about the cosmos bout the Sixth Burrough is fantastic. They also have great truffle fries. A little too salty, but they were shoestring and had great flavor otherwise. Sound is great. AC is nice. Next time I'd like to try the north or south box seats. You just want to avoid the mezzanine and box seats on the right because there's a poll that obstructs the view. The left side is excellent.

I've been to History many times, but tonight was by far my worst experience…read more Doors were supposed to open at 7:00 PM and the band was scheduled to start at 8:00 PM. We arrived at 7:40 PM, thinking we had plenty of time, but there was already a huge lineup. We didn't get inside until around 8:20 PM--and by then, the band had already finished eight songs. There was absolutely no warning from the venue that we needed to arrive much earlier than the stated door time, nor any communication about the unusually long entry delay. Honestly, it almost felt like the doors hadn't actually opened at 7:00 PM. I've always enjoyed coming to History, which makes this even more disappointing. Missing the first eight songs because of the venue's entry process completely ruined what should have been a great concert experience. Really hope History addresses this, because this was not acceptable.

You get better than average club link service as this is their crown jewel. It's not my favourite premium course, but I'm never going to turn down free golf if I'm invited to some corporate event. Then again, I wouldn't turn it down for much crappy courses either. It's just not a "special" course... yeah, you visit the spot that Tiger hit out of the bunker onto the green, some decent views up top, but for much less I'd rather go to Wooden Sticks for more funage. I've also been coming here to start the new year with friends for years now. Their brunch is fantastic and enjoy their plethora of offerings.

The clubhouse is situated at the end of Gordon street and offers a fantastic view of lake Ontario. Amenities are much like those from a well kept small resort with the convenience facilities like the showers, a staffed bar, multiple outdoor patios and communal BBQ for the members and their guests. Since we joined towards the end of this year's boating season, we did not get to experience the regatta and other fun activities like the Octoberfest planned by the club, but we're looking forward to enjoying the full experience next year.

From intro sailing for little kids (called Mosquitos) to more advanced sailing programs (White Sail) to advanced sailing techniques and racing (Broze, Silver, Gold), the WYC is a superb place for smart, active, eager kids who love the water and want to learn many life lessons and skills they will hold onto for the rest of their lives. Our favourite instructor Ian has moved on and now Emma has taken over. My son raves about Emma and the other instructors. Both on water and classroom instruction. The little kids play games too and have fun. Sunscreen required...at least SPF 45, applied at least twice a day. At the end of the year there is a banquet and the kids get their diplomas, have a meal and awards are handed out. Trust me, this is a great summer program. Space is limited. Go to www.wyc.ca and check out the summer school brochure and schedule. We're not members of the club, you dont need to be either. I hope a couple of members review the club itself...seems like a great group of people.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't as great as we had hoped for. While the hors d'œuvres were pretty good, the course meal was very luck lustre. The food definitely looked better than it tasted. My salad was decent. My steak was very tough, bland, and dry (more well-done when it should've been medium rare). My dessert was mediocre at best. I expected a lot more from a 5-star venue.

The front entrance had room for photographers, a photobooth and the seating chart. There was a third room with two bars on opposite walls and a stage for a band. Finally, there were doors exiting into a small courtyard in case you needed a break from the action. The food was very good. The tartar was a good size for an appetizer and I liked the assortment of crackers. The roast dinner was a good size piece and the harvest vegetables were cooked perfectly. There was a small dessert served as well. Overall, I was impressed with the service and dinner took around 3 hours total. I would return here again.
