Tapas Lounge & Wine Bar - Very small order of penne for $14!

We tried this newly opened restaurant on Saturday night for a birthday celebration to try their…read more"savour york" prix fix menu. When I called to make a reservation for an early dinner at 6 p.m., I was Told they could "fit us in". The person on the other line wanted to know if we were staying for the night since she had other guests coming in at 8. We were dining with kids so I said that 2 hours for dinner would be enough. When we arrived in this industrial looking space, we were the only patrons in the restaurant. Most of the tables are low - lounge like. The few tables that are high with bar stool type chairs are all near the door and not in an ideal location. The bar dominates most of the room and there was a drum set in another part of the main floor suggesting that there would be live music later. We sat in a booth with a low table. The waitress, Susan, was very nice but she could not overcome the incompetence of the kitchen staff. The lemon drop martini had no lemon taste. The calamari appetizer was ok but too chewy for me. The chicken wings my son ordered were good. The bruchetta was nothing special. The worst part of the meal was waiting for our entrees - we waited over an hour between the time we finished our appetizers and the time the entrees arrived. The bacon wrapped tenderloin, when it did arrive, was tasty but tiny - four our of five of us ordered this entree and they were all small. My daughter ordered off of the main menu - the penne in rose sauce and the portion for $14 was tiny. I will post a picture. My apple crumble was the kind that you can buy at Costco - definitely not homemade. Mine was burnt. My son's dessert dd not arrive together with the rest of ours. The lemon sorbet was served in a real lemon and was tasty. The desserts all looked like they were store-bought. I will never come back to this restaurant. Our experience was most disappointing.

It was the BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!! We were a large group, +25…read morepeople. First things first, the staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. They accommodated all of our requests with a sincere smile. About the breakfast, it was very generous. I had berry and grape jam for the first time in my life, both were delicious. Kuymak I absolutely loved!! Eggs, eggs with sujuk, menemen, fried doughnut, tons of cheese, sweets, cream and honey, olive and more. I don't think I can count them all. Portions were pretty generous as well. And the best part, it's very affordable!! To sum up, great food, great price, elegant atmosphere and amazing staff!! 100% recommended.

If your Instagram feed has been looking a little dim lately, this is the cure. The bread was genuinely good--warm, soft, and begging for a dip. The side salad was crisp and surprisingly refreshing. Unfortunately, the main course (Ali Nazik) missed the mark entirely. Instead of the balanced smoky and tangy flavours the dish is known for, it leaned too heavily on oil and salt, which drowned out everything else. Service was adequate, and the space is undeniably a visual treat, but bottom line? Rumeli makes for a better backdrop than a dinner destination. Great for a photo, less so for a memorable meal.

Castello is a family-owned restaurant that has been around for over 20 years and can be considered…read moreone of the "OG" Italian restaurants in the Woodbridge/ Vaughan area. Not only is it a restaurant serving lunch and dinner, but it also has the space to host private events- wedding reception, birthday parties, company events, etc! They also offer catering services for your next private party. We had a reservation on a Thursday evening for a nice dinner at around 7pm. The interior was classy with chandeliers and a huge flower centerpiece, but kept it warm, with intimate lighting. They weren't too busy in the dining area as only a few tables were occupied, contrary to the big event they had going on on the mezzanine floor. We were greeted by the lovely restaurant manager, Kevin, who brought us to our table which was tucked at the back corner of the dining area. Here's what we ordered and what we thought of them... DRINK: - Verbena Blues Lemonade: the original version was a vodka-lemonade cocktail, but my boss requested it non-alcoholic and they were able to accommodate her request. The colour of the drink was a beautiful azure that reminded you of the ocean water. (I didn't get to taste it as it's my boss's drink... but she finished the whole drink so I assumed it was good enough?) FOOD: - Cozze Marinara (PEI mussels in tomato sauce): well-cooked mussels... in a pool of seasoned tomato sauce. The only slight issue was the amount of crushed shell pieces inside the mussels was a little much. - Beet Arugula: the dish's name says itself... essentially an arugula salad with beet chunks, sprinkled with feta cheese and crushed pistachio. The dressing was said to be "berry vinaigrette", but it tasted more like olive oil to us. It was a refreshing dish to balance out all the salt. - Rigatoni Profumo De Bosco (mushroom rigatoni pasta with rose sauce): the pasta was al dente so it still had a bounce in every bite, the sauce though... it was a tad bit too salty for our palate, as the dish already came with prosciutto (small tiny bits and pieces of it) which was salty in itself, together with the salt in the sauce, it was overpowering. - Scaloppini Al Limone (veal with veggie): it was my first time having veal and possibly going to be my last. The texture of the veal was dry and a bit tough to cut into. It had the texture of a thin pork cutlet rather than the tenderness of red meat (maybe I am wrong?) DESSERT: - Tiramisu: it's almost a MUST ORDER whenever I dine at an Italian restaurant. The ladyfinger part was moist without being too soggy, and the mascarpone layer wasn't enough to give the overall bite a more rich, and velvety texture. Not saying it's not tasty, but if they put more mascarpone, it would have been CHEF's KISS!

Just had company party there. Quality of food , services are not good, but price is not cheap.read more
