Charsiu eggs Benny - instead of bread they had kimchi pancake which didnt have a very strong kimchi flavour. The Charsiu was also just okay. The best of the bunch but still probably a 6/10.

We were then told that the business will be going through a rebrand with a new name and new menu offerings. For the moment the only thing that has changed is the menu. The exterior and interior is exactly the same. Flavours are very Asian fusion with things like kimchi fried rice and bi bim bap but there are also more mainstream items such as Rigatoni Alfredo with chicken and short rib Benedict. Flavours are still good with decent portions. We were checked on several times so service was good. What was a miss was how the food came out of the kitchen. Food came out sporadically with the last dish a full 10 minutes after the first leaving that person sitting and waiting while everyone else ate. This is still a very popular place. It was almost full for a Monday lunch.

The pho was also good, it is very similar to Nam's pho if you have already tried their pho. Overall it was pretty solid!

Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

The one thing I didn't realize is that their menu changed compared to what I saw online a few months before. I didn't like how there weren't many choices for mains especially when it comes to pasta. Both of us just ended up getting a Wagyu burger with fries because nothing else seemed appealing. For appetizer we ordered adobo fried chicken wings. I personally found the wings to be overly salted. They offered me a free dessert for my birthday which I didn't expect, it was very nice of them. I would recommend this place for celebrations.

When we arrived, the place was already quite full. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, who took us to a seat facing the window. She asked if we have been here before, and we let her know that it was our first time visiting the cafe. She let us know that at night, the cafe turns into a lounge! She brought us the menu, pitcher of cold water, and two glasses. Then she let us know that once we are ready, we can scan the QR Code on the table to place our orders. The menu had lots of exciting items, after a few minutes, we placed our orders- my friend chose the Curry Katsu Benny and I picked the Mushroom and Cheese Omelette with Iced Lemon Tea. When our orders arrived, we could not wait to eat! My friend said that her dish was yummy- the katsu was juicy, the bread was soft yet firm, plus the salad was fresh. I enjoyed my dish as well- the omelette had good amount of mushrooms and cheese, so every bite was tasty. Also, the drink was refreshing and lightly sweet, which was great. In addition, the bear (made out of sugar) hanging by the rim was beary cute! During our meal, our waitress came by a few times to ensure that we had enough napkins and cold water. Good vibes, friendly service and yummy food, I look forward to returning again.

I ordered their chicken kaarage with mochi waffles. The chicken was fried with a light batter. Crispy on the outside and the meat (chicken thigh) was moist and juicy. The waffles were crispy and chewy and stretchy with a hint of sweetness. The yuzu sauce was refreshing paired well with chicken.The dish came with a side of salad which helped balance out the heaviness of the fried chicken and mochi. We also ordered their pistachio souflle pancake and it was delectable. It was light, airy and fluffy. The pistachio sauce was creamy, nutty and aromatic without being too sweet. I also liked how it came with fruits on the side. I also ordered their hojicha latte, which was one of the best ones I've had. It was smooth, creamy, and had just the right amount of tea flavor. The milk foam had the perfect velvety texture and it came with a pretty latte art. Overall, I really enjoyed the brunch they offer here. It is a pretty simple cafe, so don't expect it to be all decked out because it's not those instagramable cafes. But the food were solid and it's a great option for a small group brunch as they don't have many tables and they don't have large tables at all (the best is to 4 people or less). Staff is very limited but it could be because we went on a Thursday and it wasn't busy. They have a QR code for you to scan and you can order directly from there and food came fairly quickly shortly after we placed our order. I would definitely return when I'm back in town.

Hoping to get ahead of it, I requested the kitchen make it "more saucy." That was a huge mistake. Instead of actual sauce, it tasted like they literally just dumped water into the dish to thin it out. What arrived was a bland, watery, and completely tasteless mess. It was so flavorless that I had to aggressively add my own salt and pepper just to make it palatable. The photo speaks volumes--it was completely ruined. The service was cold and entirely hands-off. Our waitress took our order and then performed a total disappearing act. She never checked back in on us to see how the food was, and we literally never saw her again for the rest of our meal. The Verdict Between a ruined $22.50 plate of pasta and non-existent service, this place is a hard pass. Will not be returning for brunch.

The server greater me quickly and I was seated near the bar. They have a variety of Caribbean offerings and everything sounded delicious. I opted for the Jerk Chicken Burger with Fries. I have to say that the food did take a tad longer than I expected but it wasn't insanely long. The fries were hot and crispy. The burger. I imagined it would be an actually piece of jerk chicken breast but it was grounded chicken with jerk spices which was great! It was nicely spiced. The only draw back was it was cold. I'm guess they made the burger first, and then made the fries. The burger was topped with coleslaw and on the bottom tomato, cucumber and lettuce. The cucumber was weird to me I expected pickles which would have been a nice salty balance to the spice of the burger. The coleslaw was ok on the burger it gave it the creaminess you needed because there are no condiments on the burger. No mayo, or anything. I felt like they could have made a Caribbean type of condiment to add to the flavour. I used ketchup which gave it that sauce it needed. Service was ok, not slow, now fast. Just there. She was extremely friend and attentive. You just had to get her attention. Value for food was ok. I notified some of the reviews stated they automatically added gratuity. This was not the case. You can in fact add your own gratuity yourself. There is not mandatory 18% added. Overall, a good experience. I will come back again to try other offerings they have.

I got the Rasta pasta jerk chicken Alfredo, a very rich dish and spicy. I heard the jerk shrimp is a bit better, but I believe both dishes are comparable. The desserts are very good as well, bread pudding and cassava. Next time I would like to try the brandy cherry cheesecake. Definitely will come back here for another meal, not to say Wednesday's they offer a seafood platter to share for a discounted price.
