Returned! To celebrate my daughter's birthday. I have been thinking of taking her here, knowing…read morethat she would enjoy their cocktails. I am glad that we chose this place! Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

I really enjoyed this place! My husband and I came for a brunch date, and it honestly exceeded our…read moreexpectations. He ordered the fried chicken with French toast, and I had the fried chicken with pancakes--both were absolutely amazing. The syrup was so delicious, and the tater tots were perfect: super crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. They don't take reservations, so we waited about 30 minutes, but it moved quickly. It's a small spot, but the turnover is efficient and our food came out fast. The service was also great; our waitress made excellent suggestions and was really friendly. Overall, such an amazing experience. I've already started recommending this place to everyone I know!

Visited Brunch & Co around noon on a Saturday for brunch. We had to put our name down and were…read morecalled when the table was ready - we were told 15 min but maybe closer to 25 or so. When we sat down we were immediately a bit turned off because there seemed to be a fruit fly infestation. I'm not saying 1 or 2, I'm saying like dozens on the wall behind us. We probably should have just left but we are too shy. We ordered a fried chicken Benny & fried chicken/french toast. Portions were huge. The fried chicken was well done. The French toast was okay. The taters and home fries were decent. One thing I noticed is that they use a ton of store bought components. For example I know they have banana bread French toast on their menu and I saw store bought "our fresh market" brand boxes of banana bread. I saw bags of grocery store toast. The tater tots were likely from frozen. I guess I'm just used to going to brunch spots and more being made in house - or even sourced from a bakery. The service was friendly. The prices were similar to downtown Toronto - $30 pp without any beverages, before tip.

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!
