We weren't sure if we wanted to eat at Match but we saw the brunch menu and it was ending in 15…read moreminutes so we decided to try it out. Having tried the location downtown and not leaving impressed, I was hoping for a much better experience and it was. At first our hostess showed us a long table and high seats but we asked if we could sit at a table for 4 or a large booth and she said the booth would be good. It was a very comfortable and spacious. There are TVs around showing golf, hockey, and I think curling. The brunch menu starts at 10am until 2pm on weekends. The skillet hash and frittata appealed to me the most and I went with the hash. The server let us know that the food was taking a bit of time but she asked the kitchen to rush it. It didn't seem too long of a wait. The skillet was hot and it came with 2 eggs cooked to my liking, chunks of potatoes with lots of cheese, mushrooms, red peppers, corn beef, and I think onions too. The skillet was pretty oily but the food wasn't too heavy and greasy. I didn't eat all the cheese though. The portion size was not huge but enough food for me for a late brunch. Our server was friendly and attentive. The service is way better than the downtown location. They have daily specials and I would come back for taco Tuesday, pasta Wednesday, or wing Thursday. It was a comfortable dining experience and not too loud and crowded too!

This is one of the restaurants connected to the Starlight casino which offers pub food in a more…read morecasual setting. There is a bar in the heated patio for those who like to enjoy the outdoors, inside is a more quieter section and then the "pub" area near the back of the restaurant which has another bar and live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. The menu has daily drink and food specials. I really enjoy the beef dip here, the meat is thinly sliced and tender and comes on a nice bun with fries. Other sides such as a salad or yam fries is available for a minimal additional charge. There are several flavours of wings (Thursday special price), three unique poutines definitely have to share. The soy glazed salmon bowl has a good size piece of salmon with green beans, other vegetables and pickled ginger. My husband enjoyed it but not sure if he would order again if it he had to pay $22.75. On Fridays this bowl is $5 cheaper. The spaghetti and meatballs look like a small portion and comes with a piece of bread. It did look good and my daughter confirmed that. The service here is just fine, no complaints. Servers are usually young ones but efficient. Gender neutral bathrooms so don't be surprised when you open the door and the first thing you see is a urinal! Nice place to go before or after gambling. Swipe your Player's card and you might get a coupon for the restaurant. Oh and give them your card to get points for spending money here.

Came here cause I was starving,,, I love Ruben sandwiches…read more When I came in and saw it on the menu, I knew I had to have one. Turned out , it was one of the WORST sandwiches I've ever had!! The bread was basically toasted in a toaster, the corned beef was the kind you get at your local grocery store that gets sliced and not shaved,, it came with no sauerkraut or mozzarella cheese,, and it was so dry and tasteless, I seriously couldn't even eat it. These guys have no clue,, how to make a Reuben sandwich. They need to take it off the menu since they don't know how to make one!! Hubby ordered a donair and it was totally stuffed with lettuce to make it look fuller. He said it was ok I have never seen a donair with huge chunks of iceberg lettuce in it. I'm not being picky here, but I could have had a way better meal at a fast food place. I will certainly never be back here.and to be honest, the food we had was down right awful!! Service was nothing great, un friendly, and its was obvious our server didn't enjoy her job. I recommend you skip this place and go to Local or OJs, food there is much better and the service is great!! I will never come back here again!!!! My sandwich was gross and I wouldn't feed this to my dog!!!! Only one word describes my experience,,,!!!! Awful!!! If there was an option for no stars, this is what I would give this place.

As a professional musician playing for an already low rate, I've never been treated so poorly in my…read morelife. Unprofessional staff and the owner has no idea what he's doing. Before the main event I perused the menu with the manager telling me how good the food is. I ordered a steak. It was over cooked and the meat tasted as though it was spoiling. So the food is terrible. That's one thing. The second thing One of the patrons who knew the band, on her own volition went downstairs to the local bowling alley saying that everyone should come check out the band later. Well, the staff at the bowling complained to the manager of the Duck. He didn't like that too much, so as the band is setting up an argument ensued between the patron and the bar manager. He points at us and demands that we pack up our stuff and leave because she went downstairs to promote the band, claiming it was "illegal" and that "we" sent her down there. I've never heard such BS in my life. Was he afraid of the business?? And secondly, it's called free enterprise there's nothing illegal about it. Needless to say, for a venue that doesn't advertise their bands, pays next to nothing, they were actually blessed to have such high caliber musicians coming to share their music with. Their PA system was totally mangled, and they didn't have the stage cleared for us. On top of it, they accused us of stealing their mic stands that were literally taped together- thanks but no thanks! We all invest heavily in our own equipment for a reason! To sum it up: I am boycotting this venue and I recommend all musicians do the same.

Parking was easy, and the outdoor patio was fantastic, it's nicely enclosed with plenty of picnic tables, making it a great place to relax. The service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They also have a great beer selection. The menu was the perfect size, not too overwhelming, but with lots of tempting options. I ordered the feature sandwich, and my partner had the Big Mac Grilled Cheese. Both were delicious! The inside of the pub was really cute too. It happened to be trivia night, and the indoor seating was reserved for participants, so we sat outside instead, which we didn't mind at all because the patio was so enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable, and the location is an added bonus. After dinner, you can go for a nice walk around the area or stop next door for ice cream at Made by Marcus, which made for the perfect end to our date night. We'll definitely be back!

They had live music and a somewhat secluded patio, which made it a pleasant place to sit down and have a couple of drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Our server was friendly and helpful and fast considering how busy it was outside (we took the last table) Drink menu was thorough with a lot of different beers on tap and in bottle. Food was okay. There isn't a huge selection, so this makes it difficult if you have a large party with varying tastes. I found the food price point a little high considering the portions. I had the onion grilled cheese. This was good, but I was hoping for more of stronger onion flavour. My husband had the featured grilled cheese which he liked. It came with tater tots which were fine but not standoutish. I had my sandwich with the fennel salad which was fresh, clean and lemony. Honestly, if we decide to go here again, I will just get a large salad of this. Well worth the trip if you want a great place to listen to music.

Atmosphere was a typical pub ambiance. Really not remarkable. I liked though that the music wasn't blaring and I could have a conversation. Server was friendly and helpful. Food was quick to come out. We both loved the calamari. They were thick pieces that were well seasoned. Definately need to order this again. Broccoli was perhaps a bit underdone, but flavour was good. When the crab came out it looked a little skimpy in terms of potatoes and the other shellfish. However with the appies we were filled up well. Crab was tasty and well boiled. Potatoes were okay and the few mussels and clanms on the bottom. I would come back here for that still. All in all a good meal.

The acoustics weren't great (hard to actually hear the jokes) but then again it's a bar, so I wasn't expecting much. I used to live in this area, but never went here. This bar seems like a pretty decent pub to hang out at if you live close by. Keith's were on special yesterday, $4.25 a pint, not bad. I didn't order the food, but my friend's coworker ordered pizza and it did smell pretty yummy. What is it about drinking that makes one want to have pizza? With the open mike thing going on the place was pretty busy, I imagine it would be a bit quieter on a normal Wednesday. Can't say I'd go out of my way to get here, but I'd come back.
