We went here a few weeks ago on a whim as we were trawling for Pubs in Whitby. I'm very glad we…read morestopped in! Based out of an old Bank (with the Bank Vault still present in the back for private parties), the atmosphere was not a dark pub of old but updated to be classy, clean and suitably modern. The service was friendly right off the bat, we didn't wait longer than 15 seconds until we were greeted and seated. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the specials, making some good recommendations when asked. They were very enthusiastic about what they were serving and I can see why! The food was delectable, delicious and hit all the notes. I was looking for a good pub and I found an excellent one! I tried the burger which was juicy and perfectly cooked. I shared the California sandwich as well and I can't decide which one was better, it was a very tough call. When I'm back in Whitby I will definitely return.

Great food! We felt rushed the whole time. We were a party…read moreof 8, when I booked they never said we would be on a time limit. The people arrived & we were really pushed out.

Stopped by for brunch at Next Door, located in the heart of Main St. Unionville. The restaurant is…read moreunique in a sense where it's situated in the historical Unionville Planing Mill. Was seated in their dinning hall ( the other side is more of a bar) and ordered a brunch tower for two. The tower includes their signature malaysian scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, bacon, Brussel sprouts, toast with buttermilk pancakes stacked at top of the tower. The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.

This is very popular brunch place in Markham - but the options are more limited up here. Came with…read moremy parents to see what the hype is about (a few years after the hype has died down, but oh well). I must say that I do understand why people are drawn to the restaurant - it is very pretty and makes for wonderful pictures! This includes the lovely visuals of the food, which is beautifully presented and extremely photogenic. The taste of the food, although quite acceptable, fell just a bit short of its looks. The variety of colours was not matched with a variety of flavours, and everything was somewhat on the salty and greasy side. That being said, we very much enjoyed the potato hash, pancakes, and French toast. The portion sizes also outdid themselves - if you're coming here for brunch, just be prepared for a long nap in the afternoon! Service was excellent: prompt, helpful, and friendly. The interior is fairly spacious and elegantly decorated. Overall, a pleasant experience even if it's not the most spectacular - and perhaps worth a visit for some based on the aesthetics alone.

We were well taken care of by the servers who seemed always to be around. Whether to fill my tea or clear an empty plate. It was done promptly and efficiently. Inside also the atmosphere and overall aesthetics of this establishment is top notch. I will say the food was not to our liking as the sushi rolls were described to me by my party as supermarket quality. I did enjoy the "rye sliders" though but if judging a izakaya sushi place by their slider burgers. It doesn't match the experience. We did however attend on a birthday though and the complimentary cake exceeded our expectations. AGAIN The service is not lacking as I have previously stated, just to prove my point. ;)

Good service otherwise. We ordered the cherry cocktails that came with a candy instead of cherries. It needed cherries but it's cute to relive childhood days with a cocktail.

The dates were sooo good and the flavours worked perfectly. I think we honestly nailed it with our choices if I do say so myself. Just a reminder, don't get the crudo. And get the bread!!

One of those spots that makes you want to order just one more plate. We got: * Half Octopus * Mussels Escabeche * Jamón Croqueta * Shishito Peppers * Sea Bream Ceviche & Chips * Grilled Beef Tongue & Mojo Rojo * Sobrasada & Foie Gras

Rating this a 4/5 overall because I did enjoy my experience here, but I will say the food itself…read morewas more like a 3/5. Came here on a Thursday night and was surprised at how busy it was for a weekday. Despite that, the service was excellent! Staff were friendly off the bat and very attentive after each dish was finished, making sure to wipe off the table or exchanging the plates which I was really impressed with despite how busy they were. We decided to go with their tasting menu where you gave them a price range you wanted to stick to - I believe it was $85-$200, and you can mention some dishes you definitely want to try and they curate the rest for you which I thought was so unique! I loved the idea of that. The dishes we really wanted were the octopus, bone marrow and scallops. The only standout dishes to me were the scallops, and a salad I cannot remember the name of but was so shocked at how good just a simple salad could be. Other than that, the other dishes were still good, but nothing extraordinary to be honest. The octopus was a bit too charred which was disappointing as it was what I was looking forward to the most. The tasting menu we got also had mainly vegetable dishes (other than the ones I just mentioned), so was hoping to get a few more meat dishes. This is definitely a great spot for vegetarians as it had a lot of veggie dishes. I would still come back to maybe try some of their other more meat focused dishes. Overall, I still had a great time and can't stress enough how lovely our waitress and the rest of the staff were!
