November 2, 2024 - I treated my niece and her cousin on a little cousin night out to movie and…read moredinner. I've been to Smash Kitchen before so I thought the kids would like this. But..... my gosh. The dishes looked nice. My niece said her food was okay. Her cousin said his food was overcooked. My dish was trash, my gosh, I couldn't stomach the taste. The salmon was tough, tasted bad, rank. The seasoning was weird and didn't pair well. It had some kinda spice that tasted odd. I don't even know what to say about it. But later that night I was throwing up well into the morning. I only eat possibly 3-4 small bites, most of the dish was left back. I still tipped and didn't complain as I just wanted the kids to have a nice night without arguing with whoever. As I write this I am reminded of the disgusting taste. NEVER again for that dish! Now that I think about it I honestly shouldn't have tipped. Paying for that dish was already above and beyond!

Once again, we made our pilgrimage to KB on December 23 to celebrate my birthday. We were greeted…read morein fine, friendly fashion, and my husband and I both enjoyed the special cocktail of the day. My son had a Moscow Mule that was jazzed up in a very cool way. My daughter stuck to the tried-and-true diet pepsi, and our friendly waitstaff joked with her about her sobriety! Guess who drove home? The rest of us then moved on to the excellent wine list. For dinner, I had the very delicious lamb shank with greens, polenta, and honey-sweet heirloom beets. My daughter enjoyed a veal steak and my son enjoyed his succulent, heirloom roast chicken. My husband found his seafood pasta over-salted (he really is sensitive to that - I like my food well salted). I suggested that he ask for a wedge of lemon, but our friendly server offered an even better, bold suggestion: sambal oelek. True to word, it cut through the saltiness. He was so pleased. I was so surprised by this idea. I'll have to give sambal oelek a bit more consideration. The appetizers and desserts were delightful, and the entire meal was so fun and creative! I think that I'll come here on my birthday every year! See my previous reviews to find out my history at the wonderful KB Food!

The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, and when we moved to our table our server was also great. Cocktails were fabulous and the ambiance of the place is very nice. My wife ordered this vegetarian squash dish and she loved it. I ordered the steak and the cook was perfect but I found the sauce overpowering. It's personal preference, I like my steak with just salt and pepper without sauce. My fault for not reading the menu correctly. The sides of purée and veggies were great. Overall KB hits it out of the ballpark and is so much better than the chain upscale eateries.

The dessert table was a highlight, with lots of great options, and drip coffee is included. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the service throughout our visit was warm and friendly. The interior has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal. Reservations are highly recommended, and the good news is you can book directly through their website, which makes planning ahead simple. A great spot for a delicious and comfortable weekend brunch.

The place was not very busy considering it was a Saturday morning but idk perhaps there's a glutton of breakfast establishments? The place was clean and service was decent. Just had to ask for the 2nd cup of coffee. Maybe people just don't like to come downtown cause it's not the nicest But it's not I felt unsafe. It's all fine. Parking is also free on the weekends so that is a bonus! Prices are great and the portion was good

We tried two different types of wings Game Plan - Medium, Italian Parmesan Smokey Dill - BBQ and Creamy Dill My friend really liked the flavor combination of the Game Plan Wings. I did enjoy them too but the Smokey Dill were so much Saucier and definitely stole my heart. Dill anything is superb. Wings were meaty and a nice size! We also had the Meatilicious Poutine This fully loaded poutine topped was with cheese curds, gravy, ground beef, pepperoni and bacon. The amount of meat on this was surprising. Definitely perfect someone who wants all the toppings! Finally, we ordered the Jerk Chicken Mac. This mac and cheese was not only super cheesy but flavorful. The chicken was spiced well and I quite enjoyed the jerk flavor. I would definitely return and try some of their other menu offerings!

We ordered the mango salad, fresh, crisp pieces of mango, portion size could have been a little bigger. The sauce was VERY sweet, but had a nice hint of ginger that we really enjoyed.

All dishes were made well, but I would have like the beef to be a little More on the savoury side, and the sugar use to be a little less. But the rest of the dish was absolutely delicious!

Parking seemed limited at first, but there's more available in the back. Just a tip: be careful not to miss the entrance, since exiting is a one-way street and re-entering can be tricky. We arrived around 6:45 pm and saw a small line with two groups ahead, but the place is much bigger than it looks from the outside and we were seated quickly in a comfortable booth for four. The pub was clean, and I was especially surprised at how spacious and tidy the washrooms were--not what I usually expect from a pub, which tend to feel older and worn. The menu is huge, and TVs are everywhere--even in our booth. Between us, we tried a good range of dishes: 1. Caprese Salad with Steak - nicely balanced with pesto, though the steak was a little dry. 2. Fish and Chips - incredible portion for $18! Crispy, perfectly cooked fish with fries, coleslaw, and even a Caesar salad. The fries were well-seasoned (no ketchup needed), coleslaw was enjoyable despite me usually not liking it, and the Caesar was delicious. 3. Mexican Salad - flavorful, fresh, and generous in portion. 4. Tuesday Wing Special - wings were $0.90 each, so I ordered 15 with a Coke Zero. The garlic Parmesan was disappointing--dry and lacking flavor--but the Buffalo ranch wings were tender and spot-on. Service was friendly, though our waitress could have been more proactive with drink and water refills. Overall, I was impressed. Clean space, huge portions, good value, and a welcoming pub atmosphere. Definitely a solid stop if you're in the area.

For the 2 of us, we were very hungry so we ordered an EVERYTHING GRILLED PLATTER and GRILLED VEGETABLE & GOAT CHEESE SALAD to share. There was definitely enough food for us. The platter had a good variety of meats. The shrimp and crispy but airy light tater tots were my favourite. The quality of the meats for the steak, chicken, lamb skewers & grilled squid were definitely mediocre and a bit rubber, but still cooked & seasoned well. The salad was overall satisfactory too!

The owner told me that they are Syrian based Shawarma and different than some of the other places I might have tried. Here, they do something called a tarboush/ tarboosh. It's a little 'hat' for your shawarma that consists of extra meat and sauce. I loved this addition!! These are longer and skinnier based Shawarma but definitely flavorful. I loved both the garlic sauce as well as the sweet molasses. I returned on the grand opening and got both chicken and beef shawarma to share with my coworkers. The crew loved them and one of them said he will be coming to Oshawa just for them; So definitely a hit. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other menu options
