NOW HEAR THIS ......JACKS IS AN ENTIRELY NEW RESTAURANT IN NORWOOD AT AN OLD LOCATION SO FORGET…read moreABOUT OLD REVIEWS. THE NEW JACKS ONLY OPENED MAY OF 2026 AND IS A SOLID 5 STAR OPERATION. This is a restaurant operated by independent industry veterans who really know what they are doing. Right out of the gate they start with high quality food which is so lacking at other restaurants along highway 7. There is actual talent in the kitchen with many, if not most entrees built from scratch. Excellent wait staff. Completely renovated interior with two levels. My wife and I have started to travel 30 minutes to eat there despite the cost of gas because it is totally worth it. The restaurant manager is Tara, a veteran restauranteur. The new owner is Bala. Real class act welcoming guests to the restaurant. Fully licensed. Highly recommend.

Just to preface, this is a review based solely on the food. The service was fine, as per usual, no…read morecomplaints there. Our server was very lovely and energic. (And I am sorely sorry to those who had different experiences!) I came to learn recently that Birdy's has come under new ownership within the last year or so. As such, the menu has changed and the quality of the food has more certainly dropped. We used to go there pretty often for special occasions. Birthdays, meetings, etc. Before, the menu boasted variety and class in Belleville that could not top other restaurants. Yet in dining here again in June, 2024, I am sad to say that they have eradicated a good majority of their menu for "basic" and mundane pallets. My spouse and I used to go for their vegan options which surpassed most other places we've tried, yet were surprised to find that the stroganoff we often eat was no longer there. Half the vegan menu was erased. Instead replaced by the simplest and cheapest of curries and another dish. Two options. Two, compared to the four-five that were given before. Also very curious to claim it as a vegan dish when the kitchen nor the new owners have read the packaging on the pita bread that accompanied it. (It was not Vegan so if vegans are eating here, please beware!!) The portions were also a bit small for the extravagant prices. It was one of our favourites and I hope to see return to what it was prior to the ownership change, but it is clear that the new owners are less inclined to think about quality and more inclined to think about the profit it generates. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Stopped by this restaurant on our way back to Toronto from Canada Dinasour park for lunch. I was…read morepleasantly surprised with the quality of food and the reasonable price. We ordered three dishes - Pear and beet salad, Chicken parmigiana and Smoked salmon egg Benedict. They were all priced below $15. The portion of each dish was generous. The salad came with perfectly cooked pear and beet. It was nicely seasoned with balsamic vinegar dressing and goat cheese. Chicken parmigiana was phenomenal - with perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. Smoked salmon benefit was ok - a bit saggy with Hollande sauce and side potatoes were overly cooked. Staff were very friendly as well. The interior was simple but clean. We will definitely go back to this restaurant when we are in the neighborhood!

The mussels were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious! The pizza was also a contender for the favourite, the dough is so good, there's a satisfying crunch to it and just amazing when you add some chilli flakes. We dined in the covered patio this time and it was nice to feel a little breeze come through by my legs. The inside where we dined last time was also really cozy. The grocery area closes at six on Sundays so we didn't get to peruse the aisles this time but some good finds there too! Service was also great, our server was attentive and nice.
