    The ambiance is definitely good! Like usual, I always have an issue with the limited selection of entrees. I wish there was more choice on the menu. This time we were surprised by the food-unfortunately the surprise was not a pleasant one. In fact, half of our party did not enjoy their entrees which was a disappointment. The good: all of our appetizer's were good with special mention to the brussel sprouts. Whole fish and octopus were good. The bad: the Arroz a Valenciana was not good at all-the chef went totally crazy with the spice! It was so spicy hot we could not eat it-dripping on sweat. Three of us took a gamble and ordered steak (because of limited menu choices) - the steak was burnt on the outside on all three of them and they were all overcooked! Medium rare were medium well and well done! Not good. Service for the most part was decent. We were not pleased not was done when we mentioned the issue. I guess he can brush it off since he will get the party 20% tip no matter what. Very disappointing meal over all. We did not even want to hang around for desserts! I originally had the review as three stars (round up from 2.5) but my party unanimously asked me to round down to 2.

    Beautiful but small venue. Amazing service. Food was all delicious. We especially liked the deep fried eggplant with harissa mayo sauce. It was cripsy. The bread app was just ok. The spread tasted like philidepha salmon cream cheese, so I found this dish a bit exp and nothing special. The paella had lots of protein and very flavourful The shrimp and scallop pasta was everyone's favourite. Sauce was very creamy and luxurious. Again, very generous amount of protein too. Unless you are a light eater or coming here to sample a snack, I would reccomend at least 1 entree and 1 app per person. I also got the gobble gobble cocktail. It is sweet and not too strong alcohol, which was perfect for people who do not like the taste of alcohol like myself. Overall it's a fantastic dinner place for special occasions

    Brussel Sprouts
    Todd C.

    Let's start with some very positive notes. The staff is fantastic! Everyone we talked to was friendly and helpful. Service was attentive and well above average. The decor is modern, clean lines and attractively lit, it's a very nice space. The wine list was OK and featured a few tasty Portuguese selections most of which were under $100. The food was all nicely seasoned and appropriate for the genre. Sigh, more on the food..: The starter Brussel sprouts were by far the best item we sampled. The prep on the octopus was great but unfortunately tasted fishy, not what I'm looking for in that dish. The mussels and clams were worse, again anther good prep but fishy. Finally I ordered the pasta with shrimp and "scallops" that was decent although the shrimp was under cooked and the scallops were eraser sized tasteless rubber pellets. I think the kitchen has some good recipes but the quality of the ingredients and cooking technique is under par. Obviously not for me.

    Truly amazing place!! Cannot wait to come back again soon. The appetizers are all so good sounding. Of course I went for the Brussels and mussels. Cooked perfectly and really addictive. We shared a paella and I'm so so so glad we found this place. I've yet to have found a paella I enjoyed. We cleared this plate in no time and every bite was amazing! Service was also fantastic. They shared their recommendations and were just so nice and attentive. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. Weird comment but I also really love the soap in their bathroom. They are supporting a local/handmade brand I think and it's just so amazing to see. Can't wait to be back!

    Just amazing! Very surprising. I think the type of food here is better than the Lake location. I got the Cornish hen and I was surprised by how good it was! The portion is generous enough.. Service is alright, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Comfortable chairs!

    Calamari strips

    Food: Everything is just like amazing. The yellow tail tuna with the squid ink is just the perfect combination with a little bit of salt it just taste perfect and the calamari strips Is just the best ones I ever have. Also the presentation is amazing, like it makes you feel like you're in a Michelin starred restaurant. Ambiance: I love the environment and the theme of it. It feels like you're eating near a beach and it also gives a Greek/Mediterranean feel to it. Service: the staff are just amazing, the food arrived quick, they were extremely helpful and polite. Overall: if you looking for an upscale restaurant for a date or for business this is the right place.

    Peppers were fantastic (I was afraid to ask for HP for the steak)

    We came for as a small group from work for lunch at Fishbone. This is a very eloquent, clean space with lovely decor and bristling atmosphere. As other reviews touch upon, fro. The host to the waitstaff, everyone was pleasant and attentive. If you sip your water, you will have a torso fill your line of sight in order for the glass to he filled. Perhaps a taller glass in order to reduce that frequency. But I get it. So be prepared to check the pricing or face bewilderment. Lunch portion options are limited, so you are in the $22 to $29 for a main. So I opted for the flank steak, which was a sizable portion. It was served medium with fingerling sweet potatoes and a nice flavorful sauce. Compared with the same price for a similar steak at the keg, the value seemed a bit off. The other guest enjoyed there linguini and shrimp dish, which was served in a cream based sauce. So keep in mind you do not get complementary bread, however you have dutiful servers who keep the water flowing in short glasses. The draft beer was lovely, with a Muskoka IPA for about $9.50. The desert of chocolate mouse looked lovely, and the coffee was terrific. So overall I would estimate 30% higher in price than comparatives for the area, quality of food quite good, but really a place for a once in a purim treat. Come for dinner. -Zuk

    Portuguese Paella
    Gino B.

    This was my first time coming to this place. Very clean, cool set up with excellent and amiable service from entry to departure. I ordered the Portuguese paella based on a recommendation and was told the portion was very big. As a result I did not order an appetizer. But, we did order a nice bottle of red Portuguese wine which paired very well. The paella was simply delicious. It had a large amount of mussels, shrimp, octopus, chorizo, lobster bisque and peas. All of which was mingled with rice that was seasoned with saffron and smoked paprika. Amazing dish! It was so plentiful that dessert was not possible. All in all, a great dining event and an enjoyable first but not last visit.

    Seafood Paella takeout. Yummy!
    Min K.

    Tried takeout twice now. I only write a review if I've tried more items at a location or unless I know the quality is consistent. Food is fresh, good flavors and many people in facebook group have also said good things about this place. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for some fine dining experience at home, especially when many of these types of restaurants only open in the evenings, they are open during the day.

    Mussels

    Went to this place before pandemic and also again yesterday. The food quality are both excellent. This time , I got the take out and eat in the car. I gotta say their special for the fish is VERY GOOD. Very tender and juicy and flakey! The kitchen did a really good job in grilling the fish so in my opinion, it's well worth the money. The price for this dish is market price from the menu and this time it cost me $36 plus tax. Not cheap but worth it. I would recommend eat this fish as soon as you get it if you r eating take out. I just setup the table in my car and eat it immediately when the fish is still very hot. :) We ordered the pei mussels also. The sauce from the mussel is very tasty and flavourful with a little bit of heat and goes so well with the bread included. The downside is too bad the mussels "meat" are so small this time... the mussel "meat" are all less than half the size of its own shell. :( The fish is definitely a must try in my opinion and I definitely would come back for the fish. But of course, if u r a big eater, the fish probably won't be enough to fill u up and u may need to order other dish to fill u up. :)

    See all

    Have loved this restaurant for years, however it is not friendly for plant based folks whatsoever. It's 2023! Get a vegan main on your menu!

    Tip: The sirloin steak with a lobster tail is a steal! It's also yummy…read more Lately, I've been reacquainting myself with Aurora. Last Saturday, my thought was to have lunch at a Chinese eatery, as there are quite a number of them. It was a rare move for me to take highway 404 northbound. I normally backroad it. I saw a sign for Chuck's Roadhouse just before I was about to exit. There's a Chuck's in Aurora? I love Chuck's. I must go. I had no problem finding it when I drove north along Bayview Avenue. It's in a plaza with a Starbucks that I frequented often a good decade ago. It occurred to me that this Chuck's is where Shoeless Joe's was. My guess is that Shoeless Joe's moved to where Grandma Loves You is. I had no problem finding a parking spot fairly close to this restaurant. I pulled into a vacant spot and walked in. There are two sets of doors to go through. You go through the first set and hang a left. You go through the second set of doors and you see the signature Harley. I took photos of it. A female staffer welcomed me. I had to repeat myself, saying that I was here to dine in. She asked if the booth ahead of me was good. It was. I got a nice view of the Oilers-Flyers hockey matinee game. My server was Christina. She was wonderful. She was super attentive during my entire stay. I got a Diet Coke with a lime wedge. She made sure that I got refills. My go-to meal at Chuck's is the seven-ounce sirloin steak and lobster tail. It's a steal for $26. I substituted fries for mashed potatoes with gravy. I also got a side order of sauteed mushrooms because I was hungry and craved mushrooms. When it's Wednesday, I tend to do ribs at Chuck's. The deals are decent and, frankly, insane. It didn't take long for my meal to arrive. I was ready to tear it up. I got my steak medium. I typically do medium well, but I find that it gets overcooked when I do. Medium is a good medium! My steak was delicious. It was perfectly seasoned. I didn't need Chuck's steak sauce with it, but I have never had it before. I liked it. The lobster tail was plump and large. I loved dunking morsels of it into my clarified butter. Heck, I love clarified butter. Practically my entire meal went into it! I love mashed potatoes with gravy. It's such a comforting side. The gravy was excellent. The mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. In the past, this meal featured corn on the cob. I like that you get corn kernels instead. They are easier to eat and, yes, taste better with clarified butter. The skillet of mushrooms were so good. They were sauteed to perfection and flavourful. I'd get them again. I had eyed the butter toffee bread pudding when I had first arrived. The problem? I was stuffed that I couldn't fit it in. Christina suggested that I could get it to go. Yes! She did say that it came with ice cream and it would likely melt. I had an insulated bag in my car, so it wouldn't melt as fast. I said yes to dessert. She had it immediately made as I paid the bill at the table. I tipped and tapped. Easy peasy! She came back with two containers. One had my butter toffee bread pudding. The other had vanilla ice cream with candied pecans in it. Yum! I let her know that she was great. It looked like I had made her day. I left my dessert on the table as I headed to the washroom before I left. There are no doors to get into the men's and women's washrooms. There were a few stalls in the women's washroom. The stall that I used was clean. I liked the wintery decorations by the sink. When I got home, I put the ice cream in the freezer. I had dessert in the evening while watching a hockey game. The butter toffee bread pudding was so good. It was comforting, moist, and not terribly sweet. The vanilla ice cream was excellent. The candied pecans made this ice cream extra special. The texture of the pecans was great with the smooth, cold ice cream. I had a great late lunch here. Service was stellar. I'd return in a heartbeat when I'm in the area. (10)
