Gem in Unionville with fantastic fusion food. Service: The waiter was very friendly and made great recommendations on what was popular. Dishes were brought out Food: We started with the short rib sliders, the buns were very soft and the short rib was fall-apart tender - highly recommended! The lamb ribs had a strong curry flavour, preferred the ones at Byblos but they were also tender and well seasoned. The porchetta was the star of the show, with a variety of textures and flavours. The creaminess of the egg yolk balanced the salinity and crispiness of the pork skin/rind, and the acidity of the sauce. The watercress provided helped balance the heavy dish, but was a little undercooked for my taste. Atmosphere: Very casual yet relaxed and elegant, all at the same time. Overall: Great experience at the restaurant, and can't wait to go back. Every dish was very well executed and couldn't ask for anything more. Tip: Parking is a little hard to find, but avoid the busiest hours. read more

I went here recently with my friend for their popular brunch and it was good! Lots of variety and delicious. The presentation was on point and the portions were super. Service was good. CONS: The coffee was weak and not very hot. A bit of a disappointment given the fact that it's still morning and a staple at any given brunch meal! Secondly, the brunch tower comes with lamb sausage and the waitress said no substitutes. My friend does not eat lamb. To be honest, a lot of people don't eat lamb and perhaps they should change this or offer a backup sausage such as turkey, chicken or pork!? Cost $55 for 2 - Brunch Tower read more

I went there for both brunch and dinner (different days) Brunch - amazing! 10/10 We ordered chicken waffles - good! Wasn't my fav, but friends fav Duck with pancake - I loved it! I love duck and it was nicely made, I loved the sauce! Avocado bagels - it was realllly good! I'd reorder this for sure! The salmon was torched with a sweet asianized sauce. I don't like spice but it was topped with spice mayo, It was a good sauce but will ask on the side next time Dinner - 8/10 Service was good, all the servers knew the food and every ingredient used. pain puri - soooo glad we ordered it because it was good and different! Fish was fresh too! Brussels sprouts is a must! You will not be disappointed, it's sweet, savoury, and crispy at the same time! For main, I ordered the chicken with the sage stuffing, was good, but I won't order again. The burger was NOT good. It was dry and blend. Id take Harvey's burger over this one. Id rate it 2/10. read more

I had a reservation at NextDoor for 7:15 pm and arrived 10 minutes early. Despite the fact that half the restaurant was empty and there were multiple tables that could fit two people, the staff informed me that I was early and made me wait until my reservation time. This put a bad taste in my mouth. The staff told me they were prepping our table, but I watched as they cleaned a four-person table that wasn't even ours. I was disappointed that they lied and never addressed it with us. The dinner service was slow and took almost an hour to prepare a beef tartare and oysters. This was shocking because the restaurant wasn't full and I didn't understand why it took so long. I could see that others at the restaurant were also experiencing the same issue. They had loads of serving staff but clearly not enough kitchen staff. The mains came out warm, making me feel like they sat there for a while. They were also extremely small and more like fine dining style than entrees. Normally, I have been impressed by NextDoor, but the change in the menu and horrific service from their staff means I would highly recommend you go somewhere else. read more

Brunch here is just ok, nothing special. I'd go to so many other brunch places over this one. I was enticed at first by the menu and pictures of the food. The menu had a variety of dishes, and pictures on Instagram and Yelp all looked really good. Presentation is definitely a focus here. However, the dishes we ordered were underwhelming. The lamb sausage shakshuka with poached egg ($16) was basically a canned tomato sauce with some sliced lamb sausage pieces and an egg, with two pieces of plain toast. The crab toast ($20) was 3 pieces of toast with a crab mixture, two poached eggs, and hollandaise. This tasted like something I could have made myself, and definitely not worth $20. A bonus is that the food did arrive nice and hot. But execution is key, because the idea behind the dishes were fine. I think the prices are higher because there isn't food like this uptown. I think the restaurant itself is nice, service is friendly, and the idea behind the food is great, but the taste is just okay. One other note on service: our water did not get filled in a timely manner. There's free parking in certain marked spaces in the lot of the building, which is a plus. I get that there's not many options like this in the area, but I'd rather head downtown or something instead of coming here again. read more

I think they removed my review. Not sure, but anyways.. I went here for New Year's eve and got their "fried chicken" with caviar. With was absolutely terrible, i don't think it was fried, it seemed breaded and that's about it. It was cold too, I actually hated it. Third time being there and that was just the worst experience i've ever had. read more

I've been here a few times for brunch and dinner. Some of the dinner items I've tried - torched salmon - great combo of flavours. salmon was cooked medium and the puffed rice was a bit burnt though - NextDoor burger - one of the best items on the menu that we keep ordering - duck wings - yummy! Great app - bone marrow - ok, kind of small, can skip this dish Brunch is usually not too busy and no seating wait - Pancakes of the day - I've had matcha and strawberry before, both really good. They are thick, not really fluffy texture but more on the dense side - Shakshuka - I love this, tasty, saucy with great spice flavour. Lamb sausage is yummy but can be a bit gamey Great service every time we come. Many of their dishes are enjoyable. Food is a bit more pricey. Great atmosphere for any kind of occasion read more

First patio meal of the summer! And first patio ever during COVID. The staff were taking the precautions required for servicing patrons - they were wearing masks. The tables were all 6ft apart from one another. Everything was clean and constantly sanitized. Food was delicious, especially the truffle fries! The dipping sauce was super good. The cheeseburger and even the side salad was very delicious. I really liked the pesto vinaigrette that they used for the salad. Overall, I had a great experience. I would be down for coming back here again, especially now that places are finally opening up. read more

I put off writing this update for awhile. NextDoor is the darling of Main Street Unionville, the new kid on the block that's sweeping the popularity contest. So I feel a little weird knocking off a star, especially since I really do enjoy the food and ambiance. I came back recently over the weekend and I think I'm ready now to commit to the downgrade. Don't get me wrong, the food here is still very tasty. They're bringing millennial toasts to a new level with the addition of a very tasty wild mushroom on toasted brioche. And one of the most delicious items on the menu is the duck. First time I stole some off my boyfriend's plate, I was blown away. So a few months back, I decided to order the duck myself, having had such fond memories of it. It wasn't a cheap dish, close to $30 with tips and tax. You'd THINK for that kind of money, you're getting the whole breast or something. Nope. As you might see in the picture I uploaded, it was 3 tiny, tiny pieces. Each piece just about equivalent to the size of my tiny, girly finger. Not happy with that, but I begrudgingly ate it with no complaints. Maybe it was the restaurant's idea of saving money. Or so I thought. Turns out, it wasn't a general ripoff, but a personal one. 30 minutes later, we ran into some friends who happened to be eating at NextDoor as well. One of them ordered the duck. Lo and behold, hers had easily twice the amount of duck. I held off on my review (partially due to a good brunch we've had there since then and my laziness) until now. Recently came back here for brunch again and made reservations. Service was, for a lack of better word, awkward. Someone from our party was the first to show up and said we had a reservation for 5. "Oh, they're here already!" says the hostess and leads her off to not one, but two tables of strangers. No, we weren't already there. Okay, awkward start. Then, without asking whether or not we were okay with eating outside, started leading her to the patio. It was sweltering that day and we really didn't want that, so my friend awkwardly told her we'd prefer inside. Okay, back inside, the hostess leads my friend to a small, 4-person corner table, again, without asking my friend if this was acceptable. We had 5 people. 2 of them are 6 ft. tall. My friend awkwardly points that out and asks if we can instead have the larger table next to it. "Oh that's reserved" says the hostess. Well, we have a reservation too! Just overall, not the greatest service. They're friendly, yes. But why would you not ask your customer a single question about whether they're okay with things before just assuming that they are? Also a little awkward, there were a few times (yes, more than once) where our server pressed himself up against our table, pointed a camera over our heads, to take a picture of the table on the other side of us. So imagine someone standing in front of you, lifting a camera over your head, to take a picture of the person behind you. I mean, no problem, but again, could at least say, "sorry, just gonna stand by here to take a pic real quick". Having said all that, I still think NextDoor has great food. I'd still go back. The service issues are easily forgivable as I think those can mostly be attributed to an inexperienced staff's learning curve. That duck though. That was not cool. (46/100) - 2018 read more

First patio meal of the summer and decided to get some brunch with friends after hearing good things about this place. They have good COVID safety measures in place, with host explaining mask requirements, and instructing us to apply hand sanitizer prior to being seated. Food overall was very pleasant, and aesthetically pleasing. Got the peach mango mimosa and blueberry pancakes which I enjoyed. The peach mango mimosa tasted more like a regular mimosa in my opinion and could not finish the blueberry pancakes towards the end because it was a little too sweet but still good nonetheless. Their patio has great space as well and umbrellas for shade. Overall, It was a good first experience back for patio season! read more

Courteous fast service. The food is delish. Very reasonably priced. Located at the southern tip on the east side of historic Main Street in Unionville, this is a great place to stop for a quick bite to eat. Available seating outside is great for the warmer months of the year. What impressed me the most was hearing servers stating 'corner' to prevent any mishaps prior to rounding a corner within the restaurant. Awesome! read more

NextDoor Restaurant - Poke Bowl...Delish!!! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I've come once for a birthday dinner and once for brunch. Dinner: The servers for the dinner were really attentive despite having to look after such a large group. I suppose they're used to having large groups of customers come in for meals. The food was delicious and looking around at what other people order it looked like they were enjoying it as well. Brunch: We had brunch at 11 am which is a good time as there were still a lot of tables available. Four ladies shared 3 dishes. The Japanese pancakes were a bit on the salty side without having to take a bite of the double smoked bacon. I love the bonito flakes and the way that they 'dance'. There was a generous amount of avocado on the toast which was unexpected. I would've like bigger pieces of the halloumi cheese though. If you've never had it before you're in for a delicious surprise, it's so good! The toast was too hard and took away from the overall dish. The crab on brioche looked different from other photos I've seen. Perhaps it was on the amount of sauce on top? This was my favourite dish today. The soft brioche was a nice change from the hard toast with the avocado. In regards to service the server kept checking on us to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. The host was friendly as well on the way in and when we were leaving. Parking may be an issue on a busy night as the parking lot behind the building doesn't have that many spots. read more

So this is a post covid review...needed to go have some oysters and one marrow and I was in the area so I went. New menu..some changes that were a little surprising. The good. Restaurant was nice as usual and the staff that everyone safe and social distance was maintained. The new menu had a few nice changes. The Hanger steak was great and cooked to perfection. The oysters were fresh and really matched well with the cold beer. The maybe.. So the menu changes were bold to say the least . The steak tartare was good but I dont know if I recommend it to people who dont like spice. The burn stays for a long time. Maybe a little less spice next time. The Bone marrow is now an entree and paired with pasta. IMHO..they should have kept it thee way it was. It was too little marrow to justify the price bump. The cocktails were as good as usual. The Mezcal old fashioned was great. Overall I would say that somtimes it's good to keep a good thing going (Bone marrow, Steak Tartare) the original way was great. The bad... Nothing really bad. Just adjusting to the new normal. Keep eating!!! read more

Went to Next Door Restaurant for a birthday dinner and was a little disappointed. I saw many people's reviews and a lot of them were good reviews. However, my experience there was not as expected. Their service was great but the food was lacking. Most of the food were mediocre. Their gnocchi was super soft and soggy and the lingcod was just not good. Maybe I will try out their brunch instead next time. read more

Loved the patio here, very spacious. The staff is really friendly here and had great recommendations. We orders the kushi oysters, shrimp & pork croquette, truffle fries, bone marrow, beef tartare, Atlantic cod and the special of the day (burrata pasta). Everything tasted great, especially the kushi oysters and beef tartare. Really fresh. The croquette is alittle different than what we know of. It's one big ball that is stuffed with filling. The Atlantic cod was alittle bland for my liking and the bone marrow was more of cheese than actual marrow itself. Overall, I would come back here and try the other items on the menu.

Dined in early-mid November for a birthday dinner. They have very good COVID regulations, including hand sanitization upon entering and plexiglass between tables which was reassuring and felt safe. They also don't sit people are tables in the middle which is nice so that tables are spread further apart. We tried the sangria and banana bread cocktails. I thought the sangria wasn't that special, it tasted just of juice. The banana bread cocktail was unique, tastes like French toast. We got the duck wings to start off with which was very crunchy and yummy. I love the green onions and red peppers with sweet mayo as toppings! The main dishes were okay. I love the use of lamb in the spaghetti but I found the pasta to be too hard. The poutine was delicious with lots of beef chunks. The portions are also really big which is nice, I had a lot of pasta to take home. Overall I think it was a good experience. The safety measures in place are well done. The food is unique. I would try this place for brunch or for a day / dinner out with friends when it's safe to do so! read more

Went out with a bunch of strangers and came away with a whole group of new acquaintances. Isn't that what all our "social" app-ing is all about? Not just taking the obligatory photo and waiting for the likes? I was the last to arrive - no...it wasn't me being fashionably late...it was me trying to figure out how to get into the place. Seems that the restaurant door is on the north end of the two story barn like structure. Not where you expect the entrance to be. When finally walking in, the place is very well appointed and a great place to have a get together. We had the large dining area with the tables put together in a harvest type table setting. Lots of familiar faces and now we had a chance to put faces to names to conversations. Nice - thanks Peter L. for getting this off the ground and Cherrie T. for keeping me in the loop while I was travelling. I think it was Peter L.'s birthday too - nice....he arranges his own B-D-Party! Food was less than inspirational. I had the octopus carpaccio, the braised short rib, and some shots/beers/sangria. Though the ambiance and service rocked; the food somewhat lacking. The octopus was hard to find as it was covered in a field salad, and the braised beef short rib was already off the bone and overly salty. I guess when doing that many drinks and shots, one might not taste the beef that crumbled when cutting. I would like to say that this would be a great spot those youngsters going on their special dates. However, for me, it would be a place to have light snacks and drinks with friends or clients. Cheers. read more

With York region in modified phase 2, we are limited to outdoor patio dining only. We made reservations for brunch for a party of four. Upon arrival, I was greeted almost immediately and our table was set and ready to go. We were seated in a table right next to two outdoor heaters so we got the warmest seat outside. We had two servers looking our table that was super attentive and always around to refill our water and taking away empty plates. Between the four of us, we ordered a sangria to share, a kimchi duck has, two duck confit pancakes and a fish and chips. I had the duck confit pancakes for myself and that was really delicious. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and the duck was nice and tender, the meat fell off the bone too. The portion for the kimchi duck hash and fish and chips was massive! My friends had to pack them to take away. I hope we can get back to indoor dining soon. Even with the two heaters, we started feeling cold by the end of our meal. Overall, the food and the experience was great and we will be back. read more

1/2/2018 NextDoor is the sister restaurant to Smash Kitchen (great place) and I went with a few friends for the first time. It is a place full of aesthetics and feels very classy. They have a limited but unique menu. The ambiance and service provided by our waitress was great. We started off with a cheese board to share. They allow for unlimited refills on bread and crackers. We shared between five people but the portion of the cheese and sides are probably for two to three. It was still very enjoyable with the Sauvignon Blanc we paired it with. We also ordered: - Torched Salmon Sashimi - $16.00: presentation of this dish was great. It was torched longer than I thought it would be but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The rice was pleasantly crispy and the greens were a flavorful addition. The portion for this is dish was quite small. - Spaghetti Squash - $15.00: presentation was beautiful with the crispy potato strings. The curry flavor was a bit too spicy for some of my friends but I personally found the level just right. Something did seem missing in terms of components to elevate the dish. Although the curry sauce was savory, the sweetness of the squash overpowered it and there wasn't sauce enough to balance the overall flavor. - Beet Spaghetti - $14.00: roasted beet and chili sauce, ricotta, red cabbage and chives. The presentation of this dish in comparison to the ones mentioned above was underwhelming but I felt like this was the best tasting dish. - Tortellini- $14.00: curried sweet potato dumpling with wood mushrooms, tomatos, tempura green beans and spinach puree. The presentation was amazing. The tempura green beans were the star of this dish- cooked perfectly and very crispy. The tortellini was underwhelming in terms of taste (lack of flavor) and presentation alone. The portion was also pretty small and probably about 8 pieces of dumplings. The spinach puree was good but I felt like it was a bit too much. [3.5] Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and I would come back to try their brunch menu which I've heard many good things about. They have a variety of unique items of high quality although with smaller portions. read more

One of the few places that has the opportunity to change the dining landscape in York region. The analogy that comes to mind would be "Laboratory for Gastronomy". Melting pot of ideas that is constantly striving for change and excellence. You won't find a lot of places that will provide you with service that is both personable and executed with the finest of details. Especially in this area full of quick service restaurants, it's definitely a change of scenery if I'm too lazy to head south. Definitely the closest thing you can get to a Toronto feel. (Especially like me if you like to dine in on Queen West) Menu is constantly changing periodically which can perceived both ways. I'm in the the camp that whole heartedly welcomes change. Why change something when its not broken? Well, what if something else is better? Who knows. The point being, it is a opportunity to try new things, which definitely caters to the way I dine. Selection of wine, beers and spirits are great. One of the few places in Markham that I would trust to get a decent cocktail. (Which is so few in numbers in Markham) Relatable to my previous comment on food, signature cocktails periodically changes with new experimentations to look forward to. The bar is also fully equipped to make classics as well. Rustic interior and a patio that is next to a pond. Comfortable environment to bring your date, or family and friends you haven't seen in forever. Chill lofi aesthetics if you understand what I mean. Basically if you are reading, this is my love letter to a institution that I see great potential and opportunity. I am writing this as I am waiting for go have dim sum with some friends. You can take this opinion for what it is. I wrote it out of sheer boredom at the moment. In short, yes I recommend this restaurant. Have a great day. read more

Coming on a weekday around 12:30pm, the restaurant was quite busy, but we were lucky that they had seats to accompany our party of 6. Our hostess greeted us and brought us to our seats. After seating she asked if we had anything we wanted to drink first as she was passing the menus to us. As it was lunch/brunch time, they offered the brunc menu which runs from 11am-3pm on weekdays, 9am-3pm on weekends. They offer a variety of selection to choose from, and some of these dishes have a twist to them. There is an option to assemble your own breakfast board as well as brunch specialty drinks. After placing our order with the server, we surprisingly didn't have to wait too long for everything to come out. The portions of the dishes were pretty good for the price you were paying for. I got to try a bit of everything, and really enjoyed the taste of the dishes overall. They also have a special brunch dessert menu which had a few selections of food to choose from. We all opted for the banana & cream and loved how crunchy the waffle was, plus how well the cream and ice cream went together with the banana. We had a good brunch and I'll definitely be back again to try their other dishes read more

Fusion restaurant has a trendy, upscale vibe. Buzzes with conversation. Solid service. What We Got: lamb ribs, duck wings, fried brussel sprouts, Korean Octopus What We Liked: duck wings were good but a bit salty. Brussel sprouts were darn tasty although it was a bit heavy on the mayo. Option for bacon for the side available if you ask - that was handy. What We Didn't: Lamb ribs... I wanted to like them but I'd stick with the Duck next time. What I'd Get Next: Brussel Sprouts were my favourite dish, oddly. Duck Wings again, possibly, but I'd probably venture to try something new; they have quite the interesting and diverse menu! PARKING/ENTRANCE/DECOR/SEATING We came here on a Friday evening in the fall, and it was bustling! Parking always a bit tough on weekends on Main St Unionville - if you park in the main area, it's about a 10 minute walk to the restaurant... but walking along Main St Unionville is part of the charm in coming to eat here, so that's more of a plus! Entrance is on the side near the water wheel. Easy to miss on Google Maps. Inside is a bit dark and quite loud - it's a fun atmosphere to be with a bunch of friends. Maybe not as ideal for date night. Make reservations before coming - places was packed with big groups and small groups alike. SERVICE and WASHROOMS The service was solid! FOOD Food was up to par for Main Street standards. If I came again, I'd pre-eat a bit - portion sizes aren't winning competitions here, but I think that's more to do with my giant appetite and the walk over from the parking lot. read more

3.5 star NextDoor is a welcoming addition on Main Street Unionville. A place for brunch/lunch, happy hour, dinner and night cap. That's what we need up in Markham. The options of making reservation online was a plus. The dining room is spacious and quite comfortable with nature lightnings during the day, best for food photography! (That's so many great photos online!) NextDoor has a lot of potential to be the "best" or "unique" restaurant for Markham. The food though is a hit and miss. I had been here twice: lunch and brunch. There are some items I ordered were excellent - good, and some was meh. Okonomiyaki ($17) - So salty, really lack of balance. My poached eggs = hard boiled eggs White Chocolate French Toast ($16) - interesting elements Fried Brussels Sprouts ($10) - love the bacon and the maple give it a little sweetness Roasted Spaghetti Squash ($15) - meh.. mushy, soggy and khao soi as not much flavour Duck Wings ($10) - great with beers, I like this! Sadly looks like they revamped the blunch menu with less choices than before. Now maybe I have to come back and give their dinner menu a chance as I still have not try their bone marrow yet!! read more

Food: The Duck confit pancake was definitely a fusion dish combining asian duck leg and western breakfast pancakes into one. The duck was surprising good as the skin was made super super thin, crispy and flavourful wrapping over the soft and tender duck meat. It was an interesting texture eating the duck and buttermilk pancake at the same time and I never thought they would go this well with each other! The egg and pancakes were nothing too surprisingly but tasted so well with a glaze of maple syrup. Portion: Normal (okay for this price) Environment: Servers were all very nice. Got a bar table of 5 without reservation for brunch on weekday. I recommend making reservation. Cute little location read more

This was my restaurant choice for our anniversary dinner and they were really kind to squeeze our reservation in. I called literally at the last minute (when you're an adult and life gets in the way amiright?). Gotta say the staff are top notch amazing and super friendly people! & the food, graciously matches that standard :) There's nothing I love more than a restaurant that's sorta got the rustic vibes and a proudly creative menu. The apps all look sooo good that we're just going to have to come back and try them all. But for this night, we started with the balsamic glaze brussel sprouts and the duck wings. These seemed to be the most popular choices by our fellow Yelpers as well! The duck had strong flavours and was delicious. But those brussel sprouts? OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing! They had the natural sweet vegetable taste topped with the balsamic glaze for a more tarte, appetizing punch. And who could forget the pancetta bits that added a rustic flavour to it all? This dish comes with a garlic Parmesan aioli which I felt complimented the brussel sprouts perfectly. Yes, I could go on about this, but you should really just go try it. For mains, he got the burger (of course) and I got the duck (yes.. more duck!). The burger was great, and it came with rosemary wedges. The wedges had been friend so really they were more like thick fries. My only criticism of the night would be please consider baking these with the rosemary instead for a better flavour. The duck came over a bed of mushroom & puffed rice. The duck was beautifully cooked and had a very rich flavour, but that puffed rice!! I am loving all the weirdest things this meal aren't I... Every bite of that rice was like an explosion of mushroom flavour. It was so early and savoury. I couldn't ask for better to go with the meal. They were the sweetest staff, honestly! For our anniversary, they brought out a little slice of cake with a sparkler. There were berries over the cake and the cake itself had a pound cake texture. I really wish I could recall what it was! It was floral and just a hint of sweetness. Perfect way to end the meal. Price wise, all this was about $30-40 per person. Honestly, 100% worth it and at a fantastic price. Gorgeous location right on Main Street, with beautifully rustic/contemporary decor. I hope to be back soon to try their brunch! read more

3* for the service from the hostess and front of house manager 3* for the food quality 4* for the food Came here for brunch on Monday during a weekend and luckily we had reservations because, by 12:30, they were at "full capacity" and no longer adding to their waitlist. We were excited to try NextDoor; Mainstreet Unionville is a regular spot for us and with all the great reviews, we've had NextDoor on our list for a while now. Good food and excellent service seemed to be what they're known for, so we were pretty disappointed to see our experience differ. Our reservation was for 12:45 but checked in with the front around 10-15 minutes earlier. We were told by the manager, that he'll be getting a table ready for us in the next few minutes. The few minutes turned into half an hour. The entire time, we were just a few feet from him, yet, we watched party after party be seated before us. Our reservation was for patio seating; At the time, there were 6+ empty tables on the patio, with many servers available, yet we were not seated until 1 pm, and only after we had to check in again with him. Assuming he forgot to get our table "ready", he responded with, "Yes, it'll just be another minute". With that, he seated us immediately at one of the empty tables, unapologetically, disinterested. Availability was not the issue. What a crappy start to our brunch. Luckily, the servers were great and very attentive. They checked on us frequently and made up for most of the negative experience. Good service can make up for bad food, but good food can't make up for bad service (re: the manager seating guests). We ordered the brunch tower for two and were pleasantly surprised to see the amount of food. We initially debated ordering an additional Shakshuka or the duck confit in addition. Luckily, we did not and it worked out and the tower is much better in person than how it photographs. For the most part, the food tasted great. The sampler of Shakshuka in the tower was excellent and very light, which we appreciated amongst all the carbs. I love lamb, but the sausage was lackluster. The pancakes of the day were Matcha Cheesecake, which turned out to be a better part of our order. The food quality was a hit or miss. The chili scrambled eggs were served cold, the bacon was mostly fat and inedible, and what was supposed to be a brussel sprout and potato hash, barely had any brussel sprouts. There may be a lot of hype around NextDoor, but there are also many other great places nearby. The quality of the food and service here seems to be very YMMV. I wouldn't hastily recommend it to others. read more

Amazing. I was in town for business and had a quick search on Yelp to find this place. The pics of the food had me and I set a path to get there. I do need to note that when I pulled into the lot to park that I was confused by parking signage for another restaurant. Let me save you the confusion - it's the former restaurant so you CAN park here. When I eventually found the entrance - it's always "the next door" I was greeted promptly and asked to sit at the bar since I was solo. The bartender was very attentive and the restaurant catered to my Keto diet by arranging their menu a little to meet my dietary needs. I didn't want to put them out however they offered. That's a big deal to me. I ordered the cheese plate and they added a few meats to it in lieu of the accoutrements that did not meet my dietary needs. This was fantastic and should be a regular menu item! My main course was the Short Rib and they did a purée spinach for me! Fantastic too! At the end of the day this place is a must try for all. If they cater to customers like they did for me I think you will really enjoy yourself here. Thanks again Next Door! :D read more

I've been to this location twice now, and every time I had gone, it was always a great time. This experience was different from the last because of COVID-19, but if you do come here, the patio is the way to go anyways. Their outdoor space is HUGE! We had to take a QR code with our cameras to view their full menu, which was an interesting feature to paperless and avoiding contact from the public. The staff wore face shields and masks and understood precautions to social distancing well. The food, like always, is never disappointing. I am a sucker for pancakes at brunch, especially ones incorporated with blueberries! The texture was soft and fluffy, it absorbed the syrup well and balanced out the granola mix - my only critique was that I wanted more granola! This dish was perfect and if I could, I would eat this every morning! Aside from the pancakes, I had a cheeky little Caesar because I needed something savoury for my palate. The chorizo was an interesting choice, but I applaud it. I normally prefer a celery stick rather than a green bean and olives, but the drink itself is what counts. The flavour was authentic to the cocktail, with a bit more of a kick with every sip. The accommodations under COVID, the friendly and quick service, the beautiful patio, and the delicious food is why this is one of my go-to brunch spots now! read more

It's my second time dining here for brunch and I ordered the same item on the menu since the last time I was here. There was only one vegan option available so I ordered the Super Toast which contained scrambled tofu with two toast loaded with tomato and cucumber bruschetta. The tofu scramble lacked some flavours and left all of its flavours in the bruschetta toasts. The chai tea latte was really nice and cute with the restaurant initials. My friend ordered the Avocado toast and enjoyed his meal. I wish they had more vegan options on the menu. The decor and location is quaint and beautiful. I'd like to return and try dinner someday. read more

One of my favorite spots for brunch and dinner. Service and food is always consistent here at NextDoor. It's never boring to eat here since their menu rotates every so often. It's always nice to have a change. If you're unsure what to order their brunch tower is an amazing choice. If their avocado toast is available I highly recommend it as well. Truffle fries are delicious as an additional side. Their pancakes are fluffy. So many goodies it's unless! Highly recommend to give NextDoor a shot! read more

I found this place from a video on Instagram. I have to say my normal experience with viral video places isn't great. I came for the viral breakfast tower. I will say I was blown away at how great it was. Tried to get reservations online but they didn't have any so we stopped in. They put us on the list and we had a table in about 10 min. The front desk people were super friendly. Was sat right away and our server I believe her name was Krystal (could be wrong on name) was outstanding. Super attentive and never left a glass unfilled. She was outstanding as far as servers go. The tower was sooooo good. Way more food than 2 people could even eat for breakfast. I was real impressed by everything. I can not wait to go back to this spot. read more

The good: I love the design and was so excited to hear that another restaurant opened from the owners of Smash. I came here on Sunday with friends and had brunch. I ordered the avocado toast and also the mint chocolate pancakes. They were nicely presented and had interesting and unique things on their menu. The bad: The food tasted very mediocre...I didn't find anything special about it. It was good but not amazing. The service was mixed, she wasn't exactly friendly nor was she mean. read more

Overrated. Nice environment inside and out with exception of the tiny bathroom. On the way home from the Roger Cup my husband and I stopped by Next Door for brunch. We sat outside on the lovely deck overlooking a small creek. Our server was okay. He wasn't overly friendly or accessible as he should of been. The drink menu sounded better than reality. I ordered a strawberry julep and it literately had two sips in it. The drink was good but minuscule. It was all ice. I was pissed and felt ripped off. My husband had a prosecco drink that was Zzzzzz. The brunch menu was trying to hard to be cool and unique. I appreciate creative entrees made with healthy local ingredients however there were no conventional meals on the menu. Not one. Especially for brunch. I had crab avocado toast that wasn't flavorful and had very little crab and served with corn in it...YUCK! Who wants corn for breakfast??? Not me. It was not good and the corn was not listed as an ingredient on the menu. I would not of ordered it had I known it came with corn. It was a big disappointment. read more
