Very intricate takes on classic…read moredishes while sacrificing none of the flavours... our server (I believe his name was Jamil) was incredible - he was quick to answer questions, provide recommendations, and tell a good story or two. He also made the most amazing iced tea drink I've ever had, I'll have to return to get another one sometime soon!! The restaurant was lit with low, warm lighting (which I always appreciate) and not too densely packed. It wasn't busy when we visited despite being a Friday evening, so it wasn't too loud at all. Great decor, with wacky paintings that Jamil was able to tell us about. Amazing service and yummy food, though absolutely a bit pricey. Also, the bathroom is located downstairs and there are a couple other steps within the restaurant so I'm not sure that it would be fully accessible, though perhaps sitting on the patio would be possible for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, would recommend for anyone looking for a fun meal and slightly eccentric vibes.

just wanted to share some feedback about my visit to your bar at Lansdowne off Bank Street…read moreyesterday afternoon. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Our server did an outstanding job managing our large group of around 50 people all on his own. However, I later found out from my colleagues that the bill already included a gratuity. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of that at the time and added an additional 20-22% tip. While I don't mind tipping for good service, I was a bit disappointed to learn about the automatic gratuity only afterward. I thought I'd bring this to your attention in case there's an opportunity to make that information clearer for future guests.

The beer selection is mainly craft (not a fan) so that could bode well for some. Service was decent on both visits (my choices were limited due to extreme cold weather as either go out or stay put).

The food, however, was mediocre overall. We had the albacore tuna sashimi and foie gras terrine to start. The sashimi was actually a nice portion of thick cut sashimi, but the sauce and garnishes could have complemented the tuna a bit better. The foie gras terrine was ok - not enough crostinis to go with the foie gras. Flavour wasn't too strong. For the pappardelle, it looked like chunks of pork belly instead of pig cheek? The pork belly was nice and crispy but overly salty. On the other hand the pappardelle and sauce was super bland with zero flavour. Overall, the food didn't meet my expectations.

Over the years, I've fallen in love with The Manx, so time to do an update…read more Due to my brother's love of pubs and Guiness we end up here whenever he's in town. It is a wonderful place for a beer and a coze. On a cold wet winter night, this almost cave like spot is perfect. This past Friday we stepped in for dinner. We ordered off the concise menu. My choice was the Lamb Curry Wrap, lamb in a curry sauce, with roasted mushrooms, and melted cheddar in a wrap, and herbed sour cream. It was delicious and came with a salad (option for fries instead if you wish) which was a perfect compliment. There is also a Specials board so check that out too. They have a nice selection of beverages: beer, wine, mixed drinks. Something for everyone. One thing I always like here is the accoustics 'bubble'. Conversation is all around me, yet I can have a great conversation in my group and not hear what any other group is chatting about. Service by the way is top notch. Attentive when you need something but not hovering when you don't. That is, someone shows up when you need them.

Food was only okay: dinner menu was an eclectic take on pub classics. The lamb curry wrap was quite tasty, with a yogurt sauce cutting the slight heat of the curry. Black bean dip, burger, and pasta dish was okay, average, nothing memorable. This place is great for a drink, and their brunch options look wonderful as well, but perhaps not for an evening meal.

It even comes with a little bit of fruits. It comes with 2 slice of bacon, 2 sausage, 2 eggs and potatoes. I read on some reviews online that they had hot sauce made in house. It was thick and I enjoyed it with my potatoes but would have been great with eggs. I did not find it too spicy. Just a little kick would be how I would describe it. No I will need to come back for lunch or dinner.

So this Grounded Kitchen is the second location for this restaurant and it opened up in early 2023…read more The first and original location is on Gloucester St. This location on Carling Ave is tucked away in an office building in the Carling Executive Park. It does have plenty of exterior signage though. The space is really cool looking. A bit techno, a bit industrial. Definitely not something I would expect inside an office building. I was hoping to grab a sandwich to go, but the only variety they had was egg salad on a croissant (sitting on the counter) so I passed and got some baked goods instead. I got a cinnamon roll and a brownie (not sure what the individual prices were but together with taxes it was $10.17). The cinnamon roll was good. It had a nice flakiness to it and a potent cinnamon flavour. The brownie was also good, very moist and chocolatey with chocolate chips inside. Admittedly though, it tasted like the Ghirardelli brownie mix from Costco, lol, but hey, I didn't have to make it, haha. Service was friendly and welcoming. Looking around I thought the place would be good for some post-work drinks, but they close at 4:30pm. They then told me that in the next few months they plan to open later on Thursdays and Fridays, so stay tuned for that! There's a parking lot that's shared with the 3 office buildings that make up the Carling Executive Park complex. I believe that the visitors parking spots are free, but not 100% sure since we walked there.

He was the type of bartender that made small talk between pouring drinks and I very much appreciate that when I'm dining alone. The on-tap sangria was amazing! I have never experienced that before and was just so impressed! I had the burger which was delicious and extremely messy. I needed to wash my hands after eating it as my fingers were just covered. I may recommend it as a fork and knife affair. All in all it was a good time!
