Upon my visit, myself, my cousin, and her husband were greeted warmly with their hospitality and great suggestions. The service was friendly and the wait staff was accommodating to a few dietary restrictions. The Rib & Wing Combo is a classic way to enjoy chicken wings and pork ribs if you cannot decide between the two options. The Beef Brisket Yorkshire Pudding is comfort food at heart with the pudding serving as a great compliment to the brisket. The brisket could have been stewed more for my preference, but overall it was tasty. The Rice Jambalaya has a nice spice blend to pair well with the medley of seafood. Overall, we enjoyed our visit as a group from the warm service and great food! Can't wait for my next visit!

Was quite intrigued by some of the opinions they had. We ordered the Irish nachos and Yorkshire pudding. Both our appetizers and our mains came out quickly. I love waffle fries and loaded nachos, so the Irish nachos was really the best of two worlds. The portions were big; we shared everything and I was still really full after! I found the food prices really high though for a pub, but at least they did have some decent drink specials. Overall, a good place to relax on a patio!

Though this short rib chef's special of the night I had the last time I was there (fall 2023) was phenomenal. Tender meat with a bit of that silky fat mouthfeel, and really tasty. I would go back for that. And recently had their seared scallops which were cooked perfectly. However my dining companion's striploin was just meh. I'm giving it 4 stars because I really like the ambiance, and despite the food being ok, I've always had good service. They have different rooms depending on who you are with - I find that large groups tend to be seated on the main floor, while couples can have a quieter meal on the second floor. In the summer they have a nice balcony patio off the second floor dining room but they also renovated the first floor so that you can sit right at these large patio doors that open right onto Main Street. I also like their commitment to sourcing ingredients locally. I'm willing to keep giving them another chance.

I wasn't able to take a proper picture of the restaurant, but the decor is so nice. I love how they…read moreset up the patio tables and even added plexi-glass or greenery to separate the tables for physical distancing. They have signs all over the restaurant, had a temperature station at the front, and even instructions at each table. I think they put in a lot effort and kudos to the management team for doing this. When looking at menu items, the restaurant has supplied QR codes for customers to scan for a digital copy. Great job! Now we get to the food part. I think everything was mediocre at best, and that's completely okay. The major issue I had with this restaurant was the pricing. I totally understand that COVID-19 has given restaurant owners a lot of stress but charging $12-13 for wedges is stretching it. It was also too salty, but mistakes happen and we can let that slide. Our ravioli dish was actually really good, but there was only ONE PIECE (yes, it's a larger piece but c'mon). The risotto had the right texture, but the boys found it a bit bland and underwhelming at a cost of around $22. I actually have no complaints about the shepherd's pie or the chicken stew, I'd recommend both of these dishes. Our waitress disappeared a couple of times, and another had to keep coming in to help, very thankful that she was there to support a teammate. Lastly, we were charged $10, and it was labelled "table charge". I looked it up after and found out the restaurant added a charge of $2.50/customer for COVID-19 cleaning costs. I wish they were upfront about it on the bill, or at least had their waitress explain it. We let it go because we didn't want to make it difficult for the restaurant. Overall, I don't have major complaints, but the little things do add up. I think the restaurant can improve a lot in the future and I understand re-openings are not meant to be easy.

The bar is fully stocked and they have lots on top Staff: I think they only have women servers but they're all very nice. I've never been there and didn't like anybody that worked there. I used to go all the time now I only go occasionally but it's always the same and it always know what to expect and I'm so glad of that. I'll go back I recommend this place to people a lot of the times. It's small but they don't rush you out and it's a little more quiet than a lot of pubs so it's great for having a conversation

I have been told that I'm a good planner. It first happened when I was in grade 11. We had a day…read moreoff from school and four of us (all friends) decided to spend the day at the Eaton Centre. I planned where and when we would meet, what part of the Main Street subway station's westbound platform we would meet on, where we'd go for lunch, and more. It wasn't down to the minute, but one of my friends said that it was a good quality to have. I also like the off-the-cuff method. On Wednesdays, during this pandemic, I drive up to Whitchurch-Stouffville to get groceries. Before going into the store, I order takeout. I decided to check out UberEats (I rarely order using this app) to see what was around. I found Plates & Bowls. I noticed a couple of items where you could buy one and get another for free. Naturally, I went for it. I got the following items: - Butter chicken, which comes with rice and your choice of side salad (I went with apple coleslaw) - Chicken kabob paratha (I got another for free) - Aloo paratha (I got another for free) Once I ordered through the app, I went grocery shopping. By the time that I was done, it was perfect to head over to fetch my food. Plates & Bowls is located in the same large plaza as A&W, Winners, Staples, Canadian Tire, and more. It happens to be in a small cluster of businesses away from them. It's next to Thai Villa, which I haven't dropped by in eons, but am thrilled that it's still alive and kicking. There was plenty of parking. I backed into a spot and walked into the eatery. I was greeted by a friendly male staff member as I took photos. I said hi, and then said my name and that I had an UberEats order. My order was ready. He confirmed with a female staff member that my order was complete. She nodded. Yay! I thanked him and walked out. Something different happened to me. An older gentleman saw me come out of the store. He approached me (we both had masks on) and asked what I'd recommend from this place. It was my first visit, so I told him upfront. I did manage to tell him what I had ordered. Without even having my first bite, I suggested getting the butter chicken, because you get it on rice and it comes with a salad. He thanked me. We both wished each other a good evening and I headed to my car and he went inside to order. I'm not sure why he asked me. Maybe that hangry look in my eyes worked? Who knows. I got home and was more than ready to wreck my food. I started off with the chicken kabob paratha. OMG! It's such a simple concept of having morsels of tender tandoori chicken, with sauces and onions, wrapped in a paratha. Delicious! I was so thankful that it was BOGO. I had the second one for breakfast the following day. It tasted even better! I had the aloo paratha. It doesn't have a lot of aloo (potato), which was a bit disappointing. However, it was flavourful with the other spices that were in the paratha that I was not expecting. The butter chicken bowl was a generous size. I actually had the remaining half for dinner the following night. This place does a spin on traditional Indian food, injecting western and middle eastern influences in. The butter chicken was fine the way that it was made. However, I specified getting this shawarma garlicky sauce on the side and it made this dish fantastic! I dipped my aloo paratha in it. I put it on my apple coleslaw. I warded off evil spirits. The garlic game is strong here, which I love. The bowl had basmati rice. It was fluffy and done perfectly. And yes, it was subjected to the awesome garlicky sauce. Let's get to the apple coleslaw. I have been eating a lot of coleslaw within the last year. I never once thought of slicing apples in it. It's the spin that I was talking about. You can also get other salads, such as pesto pasta salad. I enjoyed how crunchy and fresh my coleslaw was. Yummy! This place offers wraps, too. There was a Philly steak wrap, which obviously deviates from the main Indian food vibe. It sounds pretty good that I'd love to give it a try. I had a wonderful experience. I hope that the man whom I suggested getting the butter chicken liked his food, too. I will be back. It's nice seeing so much variety in cuisine in Stouffville, which is another reason why I enjoy dropping by on Wednesdays. (409)
