    Chicken schnitzel(with mustard, plum butter) coleslaw & crispy potatoes (with mensch sauce)
    Stana B.

    Love love love!! Not sure where to start! I went solo and thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but would definitely go again with friends to share plates! Service was friendly and attentive! Love the retro vibe and music was great. Food/Drink: Non-alcoholic drink with ginger beer - fantastic ! Challah bun with salted butter - delish! Chicken schnitzel with plum butter and mustard, and lemon - amazing! Crispy potatoes with mensch sauce -very good! Complimentary coleslaw - so good!! I couldn't finish the schnitzel or the potatoes so I took some home. And had no room for dessert sadly... but will definitely come back for Bubbie's cheesecake!! Everything on the menu sounds amazing!!

    This restaurant is only a few months old, but it has a lot going for it, namely the location on Harbord, the lovely and attentive service and the hot challah buns with a salty butter accompaniment. The vibe is retro, with a lot of wooden accents throughout. We ordered the chicken schnitzel, cavatelli (made with chickpea), crispy potatoes, carrots, beets and bubby Rose's cheesecake. I also had the Oy Vey cocktail, which was very refreshing. The food is Jewish style, and the coleslaw accompaniment was a nice touch as well. The menu is streamlined, with only a few choices. Come here for a nice night out with friends or family and enjoy an inventive menu.

    The chicken liver mousse, the salmon, the schnitzel, the spaetzle, the cheesecake, all of it was life affirming!

    I was craving a good Turkish flatbread made Black Sea region style: with a thick crust, lots of…read morecheese and butter. I am so glad to have found this Georgian restaurant. Hachapuri was delicious and made me feel like having "Karadeniz Pidesi" on the Black Sea coast. Service was also fast and efficient. Will definitely come again and try other dishes as well.

    Came here due to high review. Never have this type of food. So lets try it out!…read more Surprisingly busy on weekday dinner, but at least there's no line up. A lot of beatiful European-looking clienteles (and we are the only non-European one). lol. Upon sitting: Free bread and pickled spicy beets/cabbage are provided, along with 4 different types of sauces. We ordered: 1.khinkali (dumpling beef and pork). 3 HUGE pieces of dumpling. Theres broth inside the dumpling. Taste yummy and homey 2. Goergian bread with chese and runny eggs in the middle. best to eat while it's warm. the bread feels fluffy. cheese is not heavy as i thought. 3. (medium-grilled) baby lamb rack comes with side dishes & bread. tender. 'homey' taste (not overpowering like typical food in restaurant). 4. walnut cake comes with vanilla ice cream. cake doesnt feel condesed/heavy like typical cake! and definitely great mix with ice cream. Overall, food taste 'homey', which is good/different experience. But didnt feel compatible with high-price (receipt with food name&price are attached for reference). We will not be back as there's nth really memorable/oustanding flavor-wise..(except for the great service!) With same spending, we feel it's more worthed to spend in different restaurant. But if you never try and looking for yours-truly-experience, go ahead. After all, whats not too great for me might be hidden gem for you. Cheers!

    I came on a Mon around 17:30 and stayed until 20:00 (taking photos and videos of course!). The…read morerestaurant had very few guests. Because they were not busy, the service was excellent! They even asked the sous chef to make sure the presentation was excellent; he didn't disappoint. Their menu changes seasonally. I ordered the following: 1. Coke ($). 2. Tempura Shrimp ($27). 3. Crispy Duck Leg Confit & Breast ($46). 4. Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake ($14). The Tempura Shrimp were tiger shrimp and were so plump, each about 1 inch diameter at the widest end! They were de-shelled and tempura battered. There were orange slices (orange), avocado slices (green), and chili slices (red), making the dish colourful. The Crispy Duck came with a leg and sliced breast portions. Accompanying them were tamarillo, sunchoke puree, bordelaise, dried kale chips, berry gastrique, and chopped candied pecans. All the ingredients worked well together, with mixtures of savoury and sweet tastes. The Cheesecake was amazing. The cheesecake itself was an upside-down half sphere. It was soft; I prefer that over the typical firm cake. There were miniature dried berries on top, along with a ruby chocolate sauce, and a sliced of dried red beet. Surrounding it was a soft marshmallow meringue which was lightly torched. The colour theme was red and white with a touch of dark blue. Daimon, the sous chef, plated everything expertly for me. There is plenty of indoor seating, of which one side has a view of the lake. There is lively music playing in the background. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free street parking on weekends on a street running north of the restaurant. There is also a paid parking lot next to the restaurant.

    Returned to Spencer's at the Waterfront for brunch and was not disappointed…read more I enjoy visiting Spencer's on special occasions. At the recommendation of the service staff, I ordered the Crab Cake Egg Benedict (lemon aïoli, boston lettuce, chive hollandaise), served for weekend brunch only. Similar to my previous meals here, the food had subtle layers of flavour that came together nicely with every bite. I tend to gravitate to food that I can't get at other restaurants. The server informed us that the meal was not served on brioche like the other Egg Benedict's, but I was still full with the side salad (yeh, no arugula). My husband ordered the side fries so his belly was full. There were two crab cakes with eggs, and plenty of crab inside. I was glad that I didn't taste fillers. Service was good and we sat at a table with a waterfront view. The Sloane tea and beverages were a pricey and small for what they were, hence one of the reasons I don't come here as frequently. Overall, I enjoy the food here.
