Great farm to table restaurant still offering great service and food. We came on a Sunday for a…read more"date night", we ended up sitting at the bar but moved to a table when one opened up. 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.

Been here a few times with my friends who live in the east end. This time was for a friend's big…read morebday. The menu changes all the time and menu gets released the day off. Every dish I had was very good. For this meal I ordered something different, the shrimp stuffed catfish. Never had catfish so this dish was calling me. The sauce was very tasty and had a nice kick of heat to finish. Catfish was good and the shrimp stuffing was more like a meat ball texture and not really whole shrimp like I thought. Service was very good. Our waitress was chatty and was joking around with us which was fun. Ambiance is more on the rustic side almost had a saloon feel, partly because of the old building but it was quaint. There was plenty of free parking in the rear which was convenient. All in KB is a good option if you are looking for an above average restaurant in the east end.

I had a wonderful Sunday Brunch at The Brock House in Whitby…read more The food selection is excellent--everything from a made‑to‑order omelette station to fresh pizza, roast beef, salads, and plenty of fruit. 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.

We had the Bruschetta which was amazing with fresh ingredients. Very well done. I had the salt and vinegar fish and chips which was tasty and very large. Crunchy potato chip batter. Lots of fish not just batter. My friend had the prime rib beef stroganoff. She said it was better than the one her mom used to make and that was great. We will be back.

Cozy and friendly restaurant with great food!!…read more Egg Benedict with Pork Belly is sooo good. Pork Belly is so soft and juicy! Carb Cake Egg Benedict is also great. Kids love their fluffy waffle and scrambled eggs too. Highly recommend!

Was meeting a friend for breakfast and looked around for choices and found 3 good places downtown…read more I had the crab cake Benedict and my friend had peameal bacon with scrambled eggs. 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

I absolutely love a saucy wing. The more sauce the better. Of course Superbowl called for some…read moredelicious wings. 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!

Great hole in the wall Thai food. Fairly good service for authentic Thai…read more We got Mango salad - 8/10 never had anything like this super fresh but wish the mango was thinner so the sauce would have been more incorporated Pad see ew - 9/10 super solid with fresh veggies. One of my fav things here Pad Thai - 7/10 not bad but was a bit too sweet Panang curry - 9/10 very solid balance of sweet, savory, and spicy but not as coconut forward as I'm used to. Green curry - 7/10 very good but a bit too spicy for my taste

One of the few places that do it very very well. Pineapple rice was solid but nothing stands out. Wings were fine too. Overall food was solid but could use better plating. A very small restaurant so come early if it's a weekend dinner. Not a good choice for large groups. Lots of veggie/ vegan options.

Just tried The Crooked Uncle, was very pleased. Had to get it delivered because of the pandemic…read more Gave them a call, they were very friendly and organized while taking the order. Tried a number of things, including wings, taquitos, nachos and their Philly Steak sandwich. All were great. I was pleasantly surprised how good the Philly was (not a traditional Philly, but still very good). Wings were great, they come dusted. The Butter Buffalo sauce was on point, but next time I'll order those wings naked, better suited for that kind of sauce. Nachos again very good, includes chilli, a lot of places don't offer that. Delivery was fast and friendly. Delivery guy wore a mask, and you could pay by credit card or cash. Overall, an excellent experience.

A good sports bar to watch any game. Service is attentive,…read moreeven when crowded, although on really busy nights you may need to be a little patient as the servers do get swamped. Food is what you would expect from a bar like this. Nothing amazing, but not bad for the price and certainly will help soak up the alcohol as you watch another disappointment from a Toronto sports team...

We stopped in Oshawa for dinner after being delayed by a nearby accident and chose Portly Piper Pub…read morebased on its 3,000+ reviews and 4.3-star rating. 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.

Loved this local sports bar/pub restaurant. It's spacious - with dining booth seating at the back,…read morehigh bar seating in the front, and a patio! When we went for dinner, it was pretty busy with lots of locals and families. Despite this, the service was great and they got our dishes served in really good time. Also, the portions and pricing is PHENOMENAL - like a seafood or steak main dish for $28-$37?? Amazing. 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!
