We went…read moreon a steak Sunday...the only day they theme is steak oriented, although there were also non steak dishes. The complementary bread was amazing. The slices were soft, and addictive. I also ordered Mexican Street Corn that was sweet and spicy at the same time. It was good. For the steak, I ordered a medium rare tenderloin, which was cooked to the right temperature. However the seasoning was basic. The green peppercorn jus that came with the steak was salty. The same went for the Mac and cheese. That was disappointing. It's a shame as the dining room was very nice, but the food weren't quality.

I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potato's and grave and the turkey with fries. I added the battered mushrooms. Everything was delicious. The turkey was juicy and moist and the meatloaf was also moist yet well constructed. Both dishes came with carrots that were cooked tender but still firm. We chose Cole slaw as our side and it was lovely. The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall and therefore has a lot of parking. The interior is warm, scrubbed clean and inviting. I would even say it was charming.

I would recommend people to try this and support some local independent business versus going to a large chain restauran. Thanks again for the meal and service you provided for us this evening.

Lunch was perfect with lots of soups, salads, and sandwiches to choose from. They even had a soup flight! I opted for butternut squash soup and a small Greek salad. Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. Husband had a chicken pita and decided on tots for his side. I stole a few tots and they were delicious. Nice and crispy. Service was excellent. The place was a cute one-room area with a little bar in the back of the room and booths and tables throughout. The bar had a big screen TV which was showing a baseball game. It looked like they have live music on certain days. It's part of a strip mall so don't miss it.

I came here for the second time with my family. I was sadly disappointed. The place was a little…read moretoo warm and I extremely disliked the sticky tables (it wasn't dirty, but an unfortunate table top finish issue). We ordered quite a bit of food. The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

The perk was ordering 10 mins ahead and they saved our order which got our food earlier, we were very hungry and appreciated the advance notice option. The ambiance is fun and buzzing with people. Must try!

For the four of us we ordered a Brisket plate with the rice dun up, the ribs with Mac and cheese & a sandwich lunch combo with fries and a pop. The bark on the brisket was sooo flavourful, it was juicy and still had some fat on it which kept it moist. The ribs were fantastic as well, we thought the rice was our favourite and the Mac and cheese was great too! Fries were tasty and crispy, honestly everything was fantastic. I wish it was priced a little lower but I've paid more for food that wasn't this good. Highly recommend, we can't wait to go back!

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13).

Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

We both went for the Double Smoked…read moreBacon Benedict, and I added the Chicken Chowder on the side since I was starving after the drive. The place has a classy feel, with a space that's thoughtfully laid out and comfortable to sit in. Really loved the overall vibe. That, along with attentive service and solid food, made for a great experience. Everything was above standard, and I appreciated not just the quality and portion size, but also how fair the pricing was. Only small note is that the salad on the side felt a bit generic. Nothing wrong with it, but didn't quite match the level of the rest of the meal. The Chicken Chowder, on the other hand, was a total surprise. Hearty, comforting, and just full of that savory kind of goodness. It was so well done, I honestly wish they served it in XXL size. Overall, it's a lovely spot I'd be happy to come back to. Feels like the kind of place that gets the little things right without trying too hard.

I got the cornmeal trout and chips and my partner got the cheeseburger. We both agreed that the fries here were absolutely delicious! They were perfectly fried in my opinion and had that salty tasty crunch. I think the trout was alright for me personally. Maybe because I'm just so used to fried haddock when I get fish and chips. The service was great and our server was very attentive. I will say I think the ambiance is quaint and cute but I think I was just a bit thrown off by a few minor things (i.e., water was lukewarm, the chair I sat on had a few crumbs, etc.) nothing huge and probably doesn't bother anyone but me. I'd go again for the fries and to try out something from the brunch menu.
