Morning Frankfurter
Mera M.

Great brunch spot! Cozy atmosphere with open kitchen. Friendly staff. Portion sizes are generous. A bit pricey but worth it. Items we had: Dad's Full Breakfast with Blueberry Pancakes, Morning Frankfurter, Nutella Hot Chocolate and Double Espresso.

Wanted some brunch and with all the brunch spots in Markham, I wanted to try Ramona's kitchen. It was a Sunday, so I kind of expected it to be busy, and since I didn't make any reservations, surprisingly the wait time was about 15-20minutes. We chose to sit inside instead of the outside patio since it was humid and hot. We got a call and got seated right away. Our waiter was friendly and patient. Took our orders right away and got us started with water. I ordered the avocado toast and mr. Tran got the dad breakfast. Took about 20 minutes for our orders to come out and it was nicely presented. I was pretty hungry so devouring my plate was easy. The toast was pretty soggy though, the salad was good and simple; I liked that it didn't leave me feeling heavy. mr. Trans order had a lot on his plate, and it came with either blueberry pancake or strawberry French toast. He opted for the French toast. My toddler didn't like anything on my plate, so she ate off mr. Trans potatoes and mini sausages. It's a nice place for brunch, but nothing spectacular.

I'd never eaten in this plaza before, so when we saw Ramona's from the parking lot, we went inside. We looked around, and the menu on the blackboard did not seem to have the menu items that I had seen online. The employee working figured out that we were in the wrong place and asked if we were looking for Ramona's Kitchen. She told us it was a couple of doors down, inside the plaza. At the correct location, Ramona's Kitchen has a 'patio' section inside the corridor of the plaza. We wandered inside, and a server sat us at a table. There's seating along one wall and towards the back, near the plaza, and an open kitchen along the opposite wall. We got the smoked salmon benedict and the brunch burger (with pancetta). Since we were the only customers at the time, it didn't take our food long to arrive. I'm not sure what it was, but the benny seemed a bit different from others I've had. Maybe it was the Hollandaise. I'm usually not a mixed greens eater, but I enjoyed this one. Perhaps it was the vinaigrette. The brunch burger was amazing. It was way too big for me to just pick up and eat, so I cut it in half first and then dug into it. The crispy pancetta inside was perfection. The tri-coloured home fries were fun and different from what is usually served. Once we had paid and got up to leave, I went to the entrance to the parking lot. We got halted and told to use the entrance inside the plaza. I found that quite strange.

Avocado brie omelette
Stephanie N.

New menus! Which can only mean new items and also increase in prices? Haha. Sad to see that the avocado spinach brie omelette is gone but this time I did a build your own and got mushrooms, spinach and Swiss. It came with the tri coloured fries and toast (white, brown, or rye). The sweet potato one was slightly wet and mushy this time but everything else was delicious. Will be back! Came on a weekday this time and we got one of the last tables inside the mall area. A queue formed shortly after us.

I came here for lunch on a weekday and we were able to get a table for four pretty quickly. This location is small and cozy. We ordered fish and chips, smoked salmon eggs Benedict and mushroom and onion burger. The eggs Benedict were the highlight of the meal! The eggs were cooked perfectly with a runny yolk and the tri-coloured potatoes were delicious. I've ordered for takeout before and had no issues, quality of food is just as good.

Went here for brunch. Great portions, food was great. Nothing to complain about. The service was average. Nothing above the ordinary. The restaurant itself was quite small, nicely lit. Roughly 10 tables but manage to get a seat for 4 with no wait time.

Smoked salmon eggs Benedict
Carmen G.

Tiny, local, delicious brunch spot! Came here on a weekend trying to get a table for 7 total (5 adults, 2 kids) and it was a long wait! I understand since it's a super small restaurant, and they don't usually accommodate parties larger than 4-5. So make sure you come here with smaller groups to get a table quickly. Started off with a nutella latte, they don't have soy milk alternatives here but have oat milk. The nutella latte was not too sweet but definitely could have more of an espresso taste to it. My table got dishes to share: Smoked salmon eggs benedict 8/10 Got this one with home fries instead of salad. The hollandaise sauce is heavy so the dishe gets quite heavy quickly. Regardless, I enjoyed this a lot! Poutine 10/10 This poutine was amazing! It came served inside a small tin buck which confused me at first, but it worked! The fries somehow stayed crispy even with all the gravy on top and was piping HOT which I loved! This just meant that the cheese curds were properly melted. Highly recommend getting this to share! Crab cake eggs benedict 7.5/10 It's good! But definitely the heaviest dish there was of all the things we got. The grab cakes are of course fried and topped with a poach egg. Blueberry pancakes 7.5/10 A little bit on the drier side but was a nice sweet touch to share for the table. Looked amazing also! Come for the poutine! Leave with a full stomach!

"Fresh lump crab cakes"
Benedict T.

False advertising, fresh is not fresh. I definitely won't be coming back for the foreseeable future. My girlfriend and I came on a Sunday morning. The wait at 10:30 wasn't that bad, approximately 20 minutes for indoor seating. Ramona's had patio seating available but we felt it was too chilly to enjoy a hot meal outside. The menu offers a large variety of Egg Bennys (including vegetarian options) - we ultimately decided on the Smoked Salmon Benny and Crab Cake Benny with the tri-coloured home fries, alongside a cappuccino and Nutella latte. We were slightly disappointed to find out they weren't serving tri-coloured home fries that day, though not overly upset. I'm sure the taste between normal and tri-coloured is the same, but I wish the servers would've told me as I ordered. Again, not a big issue - but every little bit counts for a customer! No big negative comments for the Smoked Salmon Benny, other than us wishing for a more generous portion of the smoked salmon (i.e. we've definitely seen a larger amount of smoked salmon at some local competitors). The poached egg was done very nicely, deliciously coating the dish with creamy, runny yolk. The Crab Cake Benny, on the other hand, was very upsetting. The dish comes with a poached egg and seasoned shrimp atop the nicely fried "fresh lump crab cake" per the menu description. I knew something tasted off when I had my first bite which was overwhelmingly sweet, almost artificially so. As I broke into the crab cake, to my horror, I recognized the iconic red strands of imitation crab meat. For those unaware, imitation crab meat uses white fish meat to emulate the look of crab meat. It offers no resemblance, in taste nor in value, of the real deal. At $19.99, I would have expected fresh crab meat. I wouldn't have minded smaller, but fresh crab cakes for the price point, but I definitely did not expect to see the cakes using imitation crab meat. Over to the drinks. The cappuccino was made very well. The Nutella latte was equally as delicious, though I wish more care had been given in preparing the drink. As I finished my last sip, I couldn't help but notice a large chunk of undissolved Nutella in my cup. Either fully dissolve the Nutella into the drink prior to serving, or include a spoon so that the customer can mix it thoroughly themselves. Wrapping up the meal, it was quite uncomfortable that I didn't receive some privacy paying on the machine. Not necessarily the most pleasant experience, with the server staring straight into my selection of the preset tipping percentages. If you're coming to Ramona's, stay clear of the Crab Cake Benny. Other menu items may be worth trying, but I won't be a customer again.

Eggs Benny and breakfast sandwich

Pretty yummy brunch spot! The eggs Benny was really buttery. Breakfast sandwich was loaded! Very busy in the morning! Potato's we're not that crispy

Chicken schnitzel benedict with fries
Paul T.

First time trying Ramona's on Bayview. Nice space, we were seated within a reasonable timeframe despite it being weekend brunch. Servers were really nice and attentive. The menu has a lot of Benedict options which isn't too common! I tried the schnitzel benedict which reminded me of chicken parm (not a bad thing). They also have an option to spot your regular hollandaise with spicy hollandaise. Would come back to try other dishes.

Food and service both excellent! They serve good quality food with green salad and Tri-colour potatoes with all breakfast dishes! everything's perfectly cooked, staffs are very friendly!! I like this place

Tanveer K.

Just a word of caution this place is ridiculously busy and this place got so popular there's a Ramona's cafe next door, if you can't find a seat here, we waited 45 mins but worth the wait, this is the fourth time that I tried this place but I'm not coming anymore because I want to explore other places, but the food is excellent I got the Nutella milkshake, perfect balance of sweetness in a big jug, I decided to get the schnitzel benedict, which I tried before, chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy, got it with a spicy hollandaise perfect balance of heat, and their portion is massive honestly if you come with four people get two dishes and share, you will be plenty full, trust me, the ambiance was nice, my wife had a hair in her food the owner brought a new dish? Which they should've anyways, the owner was really attentive, and so many choices for breakfast the ultimate brunch spot

Avocado & Brie Omelette
Alaleh P.

I'm in love with breakfast and this place offers great variety of options for breakfast and brunch, all day long. We were asked for our proof of vaccinations upon our arrival and we were asked to choose our table since the restaurant wasn't busy at that time of the day. The staff were friendly and helpful and gave us enough time to order. We ordered "Avocado & Brie Omelette" with ham and "Ramona's Banana Bread & French Toast " with poached egg. Omelette came in with the side of home fries and toast (either white, whole grain or Rye). Banana bread came with sliced banana, walnut, sliced strawberries, chocolate sauce and side of maple syrup. Both were very delicious and we were so full after our meal, lol.

Union Social Eatery - Coconut Key Lime Pie Jar

Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park

I'm back at the Union Social Eatery again, for a family dinner. The location is very accessible by…read moretransit, but if you are driving, then you may need to scout out a parking spot in the sidestreets. It has a cosy, comfortably casual ambience. On a Sunday evening, it was quiet and intimate. Our server, whose name I did not learn, was excellent: kind and willing to make recommendations. Union Social has an excellent menu, with lots of diversity to cater to all palates, but not so many items as to be overwhelming for either staff or customers. We started off with cocktails, and my son's Citrus Mule -served according to tradition, in a copper mug - was so tasty. I enjoyed my Smoky Apple Old Fashion so much. It is worth coming here for a cocktail alone. Now, on to the mains (we skipped the appetizers, but the shrimp tacos did look tempting). I explained to our server that I was torn between the Smokehouse Beef Burger (which I regretted not ordering on a previous visit) and the Spaghetti Positano, a seafood pasta finished with lemon-herb breadcrumbs. She enthusiastically and energetically recommended the pasta (I love it when they actually give a recommendation, as opposed to, "Well, it depends what you want"). I was not disappointed! The seafood spaghetti was terrific! Surprisingly, the breadcrumbs more than compensated for a sprinkling of parmesan. I savoured the leftovers the next day, and I'm still thinking about it. The other diners, who ordered Cobb Salad, the Chicken Sandwich Special, and the Tuna Bow, were similarly satisfied. Apparently, the Steak Frites and the Fish and Chips were outstanding, as was my Pasta Positano (especially for garlic lovers!). A few other diners ordered dessert: they each had creme brulee, smoking hot from being freshly torched. The surface featured that perfectly glossy, lightly burned sugar, which always reminds me of a caramel-colored skating rink. The dessert was, according to my daughter, who is a connoisseur of creme brulee, was perfectly done. To finish off, my son (don't worry, he's an adult) had an espresso martini. I had a sip, and I can totally vouch for it being so divine! We had a very satisfying meal, and I'd only wish that I knew my server's name so that I could acknowledge how excellent she was. I'll be back. I keep planning for the burger, but right now, I could sure go for another helping of Spaghetti Positano!

The staff were super friendly and built a really good rapport with everyone. Honestly, I'd go back just for how great the team was. Now for the drinks and food: I ordered an espresso martini. This was my first one ever, and not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed (I've had way better ones since). For the food, the poutine was fire and the tacos were really good, too. Everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes, but let's be real... it wasn't the best meal ever. The food was definitely mid, but still solid. Overall: Amazing service and great atmosphere make this place worth checking out.

Everything looked so good, it took us a while to decide but we settled on the Watermelon and Halloumi Salad and the Lamb Kofta Pita. Both dishes were plated beautifully, with lots of colour. The salad stood out with appearance and flavour. Good call, Jennifer! The lamb/beef kofta was equally colourful and attractive. Delicious! A Spicy Mango Margarita was a great complement to this meal. The food at Beach Club was excellent and the service was outstanding! Highly recommended!

Only one staff member was working during my visit, and there was a mix-up with my order. Luckily, I was still in the parking lot when another customer came out to let me know, so I was able to get it sorted. For the meal, I picked beef brisket (you get 3oz of meat and can also choose sausage, turkey, chicken wings, or nuggets) and a side. I chose mashed potatoes. They weigh the meat before reheating it. Next time, I'd ask for the BBQ sauce on the side since it was a bit too drenched, and while it had good flavor, the brisket felt dry in parts and not quite as tender as I hoped. The mashed potatoes had bits of skin, which gave a nice texture, but they really needed gravy to round them out (additional cost for 1.99). The bread roll stood out. It was very soft, fresh, and worked great for turning the brisket into a mini sandwich. For the drink, I went with a soft drink instead of the "lil yellow cup" option. The portion was small, but it is after all advertised as a kid's meal and less of a commitment compared to all their other menu items. It's a good choice if you want a lighter meal or just want to sample the BBQ. They also offer daily deals, which change throughout the week and is only available for a limited time (it is not mentioned how long this is for): Monday: Brisket Mac & Cheese $12.99 Tuesday: BOGO 50% any Sandwich Wednesday: 10% off Wings Thursday: Brisket Poutine $12.99 Friday: 15% off Westerner or Pit Dip Sandwich Saturday/Sunday: Kids' Meals for $7.99 I'm interested in trying other menu items and their daily specials. I'm just hoping the brisket is more tender/juicy next time!
