They even asked the sous chef to make sure the presentation was excellent; he didn't disappoint. Their menu changes seasonally. I ordered the following: 1. Coke ($). 2. Tempura Shrimp ($27). 3. Crispy Duck Leg Confit & Breast ($46). 4. Saskatoon Berry Cheesecake ($14). The Tempura Shrimp were tiger shrimp and were so plump, each about 1 inch diameter at the widest end! They were de-shelled and tempura battered. There were orange slices (orange), avocado slices (green), and chili slices (red), making the dish colourful. The Crispy Duck came with a leg and sliced breast portions. Accompanying them were tamarillo, sunchoke puree, bordelaise, dried kale chips, berry gastrique, and chopped candied pecans. All the ingredients worked well together, with mixtures of savoury and sweet tastes. The Cheesecake was amazing. The cheesecake itself was an upside-down half sphere. It was soft; I prefer that over the typical firm cake. There were miniature dried berries on top, along with a ruby chocolate sauce, and a sliced of dried red beet. Surrounding it was a soft marshmallow meringue which was lightly torched. The colour theme was red and white with a touch of dark blue. Daimon, the sous chef, plated everything expertly for me. There is plenty of indoor seating, of which one side has a view of the lake. There is lively music playing in the background. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free street parking on weekends on a street running north of the restaurant. There is also a paid parking lot next to the restaurant.

Returned to Spencer's at the Waterfront for brunch and was not disappointed…read more I enjoy visiting Spencer's on special occasions. At the recommendation of the service staff, I ordered the Crab Cake Egg Benedict (lemon aïoli, boston lettuce, chive hollandaise), served for weekend brunch only. Similar to my previous meals here, the food had subtle layers of flavour that came together nicely with every bite. I tend to gravitate to food that I can't get at other restaurants. The server informed us that the meal was not served on brioche like the other Egg Benedict's, but I was still full with the side salad (yeh, no arugula). My husband ordered the side fries so his belly was full. There were two crab cakes with eggs, and plenty of crab inside. I was glad that I didn't taste fillers. Service was good and we sat at a table with a waterfront view. The Sloane tea and beverages were a pricey and small for what they were, hence one of the reasons I don't come here as frequently. Overall, I enjoy the food here.

I've been to a couple of weddings where the sun was blazing in my eyes and diminished the nuptials just a tad.

The tables were spaced out well so that there was room to move between them.

When I went last time, we had no issues with our dog, however a friend tried to take her dog and they were sadly turned away so you'll have to check beforehand! Coffee is great and I've had their green smoothie before which I also highly recommend. The last time I ordered I believe an apple cinnamon croissant. The taste was good, but the croissant was quite dry. I probably wouldn't order it again, but wouldn't be opposed to trying other food options, as they all looked great. Overall, the Pearle is our go-to coffee spot. Weekends are busy (as expected), so you might have to wait for a table on your Saturday/Sunday's.

We visited the cafe to grab a small snack and drink before heading over to the restaurant. There were lots of seating available!

The Atrium really does deliver on a "stress-free" wedding package. Some of our favourite parts of the process: -working with Kylie, Alex, and Tanner to make sure every detail was unique and perfect -the AMAZING drinks and friendly service from the mixologist, Patrick -having original signature drinks that our guests LOVED -the out-of-this world anti-pasto buffet, 4-course dinner, dessert display, and the late-night live-pierogi station in addition to the late night food -the 4-tier cake that was included in the package and made in-house -the beautiful venue (especially the patio and the bridal suite) -the recommendation for our wedding photographer, Moussa (FotoReflection) -the small touches like the pianist and wonderfully decorated backdrop -the shuttle service to the hotel and the service received at the Hilton Garden Inn Did I mention how good the food was? We had a lot of guests with dietary restrictions and Alex was able to accommodate it all. This is especially impressive when catering to a large Italian family. We felt like we didn't have to "plan" for anything because the Atrium truly took care of all of the important things. This was amazing throughout the last two years due to all of the COVID concerns. They always kept us in the loop, celebrated with us when we were able to have our food and cake tasting, and really did deliver on a safe and fun wedding. I have no regrets choosing the Atrium for the best event of my life and we are so happy that we had no challenges that whole day. I can't wait to have my next event, or even better, be able to attend someone else's wedding there! Looking forward to continue being a part of the Atrium family. Olivia & Erik
