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.

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.

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!

Came here for a birthday celebration in the evening. It was busy, I recommend getting reservations…read moreas it seemed like a popular spot among the locals on a Saturday. Service was still very attentive during this time. Our appetizers included: complimentary bread, escargot and shrimp, cajun calamari, and a large ceasar salad Our drinks: coffee martini, cosmopolitan, and lychee martini Our mains: trout and scallops, pickerel and shrimp, and seafood di mare The appetizers were great, and the large salad was enough to feed 3 people (could have fed a 4th as we had leftovers). The star in this bunch was really the escargot and shrimp. It came with a buttery sauce that was good with the complimentary bread. The oysters were also fresh and came with salsa and horse radish topping to choose from. The calamari, while good, was overshadowed by the others. It was meant to have a cajun taste, but I did not get that flavouring coming through, but it was still a good app regardless. For the drinks, the lychee martini seemed to be a favourite given the amount of alcohol while the cosmo seemed light on it. So if you're looking for a martini with a fruity kick, I'd recommend going to the lychee martini. The coffee one tasted more like coffee, but it may have been masking the amount of alcohol based on its strong flavor. For the mains, all three were excellent. The seafood di mare is very decadent and heavy. After eating so many appetizers, I barely had any bites, but it did make for some great leftovers.

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.

The ambiance is quite nice but the vibe was off for me. I couldn't put my finger on it at first but having reflected on the evening, I feel as though the staff was just condescending and 'fake'. I ordered the lobster tacos and the other guests I was with, both ordered the prime rib sandwich. They saw the sandwich delivered to another table and were impressed by the size and presentation. They, however, did not receive the same and were quite disappointed. That being said, I think consistency is lacking. My tacos were quite tasty and I was satisfied with my dish. If I were to go back, I would order it again. Overall, it's not a restaurant I would go out of my way to get to.

We got both the Cajun and Captain's boil seasonings and both were equally delicious. The lobster was very fresh and delicious. Everything was delicious. We got the corn, okra as sides. They were a little bland and would have been nice to have seasoning. We added them to our seafood seasoning bags and got some of the flavour. The seafood fried rice had the perfect flavour and seasonings. The cajun fries were well seasoned. The portion sizes are very big and we definitely satisfied our cravings.

Which my group was! There were some vegetarian options as well. We had a variety of starters-the scallops, seafood chowder (this was big and perfect to share among 3 people), oysters, and jumbo shrimp cocktail. For mains, we had the cod fish, seafood linguine, and octopus. For dessert, we had the almond cake and lava cake. From the starters, we recommend the scallops. They were a great size and perfectly cooked and paired with a crisp fruit and bacon. All 3 mains were great and quite filling. As fir dessert, if you're a chocolate lover, don't pass on the lava cake it wad divine. As for service, it was excellent. Food came out at a reasonable time, and the server himself was really personable and friendly. This place is definitely a redo!

We were a little taken back by that reaction and told the waitress that it was an odd remark and we were trying to make light of the situation.

I'm still shocked to my core that we were treated this way. We finished our meal and left. So obscene. Makes sense that we were the only patrons there on a Friday evening. Don't go.

On the most recent trip I really enjoyed the country fried steak. While it is heavy, it is perfectly fried and topped with a savoury and creamy white gravy. The fries on the side were cooked absolutely perfectly. The coleslaw was tangy and balanced. The Mac n Cheese was so creamy, with a hint of spice and topped with breadcrumbs to create a mix of flavours. This is already on top of the many other tasty dishes such as the pork shoulder and smoked chicken wings which I highly recommend. Butchie's is a BBQ staple for Durham region. I've been here several times and I'll be back many times over, especially during the summer for their beautiful backyard style patio!
