    Burger and fries
    Andrei A.

    SERVICE: 5/5 No complaints. Our server was very attentive and courteous. FOOD: 3/5 I was disappointed in the quality of my burger. The patty was somewhat dry and lacked in flavour. Cheddar cheese should not be on the burger, to begin with. It's gross. Mozzarella or Swiss is the way to go. The buns were good though. The fries were very good too. Not sure why coleslaw wasn't creamy like at most other places. I didn't like their coleslaw. It tasted as if it came from a store-bought jar. It wasn't homemade. Mind you, my experience is limited by one visit. Perhaps, their calamari and "chips and fish" are to die for. I don't know. So far, I'm giving them 3/5 stars. If my experience proves to be different next time, I will consider upgrading my rating.

    Jerk Chicken Sandwich.
    David N.

    I live fairly near to the Belsize Public House and yet this was somehow only my first visit to the place. And if the calibre of the food I ate is any indication, I'll definitely have to make this joint a regular haunt. We arrived around lunchtime on a Monday and the place was sparsely populated. I gave the menu a quick scan and almost immediately landed on the Jerk Pork Sandwich ("scotch bonnet aioli, fresh mango, coleslaw & tomatoes in a pita, served with fries & curried chickpeas"). It arrived about 20 minutes later and I have to admit it's much, much better than I was expecting. I've grown a little weary of anything with jerk seasoning as of late, given that every time I seem to order it, the dish is bland and, worse still, hardly spicy at all. That was definitely not the case here. The intimidatingly large concoction is full of well-spiced and flavorful pieces of pork, and the heat-level is, much to my delight, definitely higher than I was expecting. The mango, coleslaw, and tomatoes all work perfectly in the sandwich, while the pita tasted fresh and actually held up well to the various ingredients contained within (which is itself no small feat). My one complaint would be that certain pieces of pork were a little chewy and overly fatty. With a sandwich like this, one wants unctuously soft chunks of meat and that was unfortunately not quite the case here. As for the fries, they were outstanding, and the curried chickpeas, though not entirely necessary, were also quite good.

    Myself and a couple of co-workers popped in for lunch and to say that we were disappointed is an understatement....the food was mediocre at best...they claim that the wings are made in-house and hand breaded etc, etc, however that is not the case, they clearly look and taste like something out of a presidents choice box...they were dry, hard, chewy and look like day old wings. In addition to this, my celery was black and bruised, wish I got a better picture. My colleagues got the jerk pork sandwich, which was dry and lacking true jerk flavour and the fish and chips which were actually pretty good. I guess 1 out of 3 is not bad, the service was good but I will not be returning.

    Cozy and comfy- the staff were very knowledgeable and there was great service. We mentioned that it our cousin's bday- and they brought him a slice of cake to celebrate. The buttermilk wings were done really well and their burgers were good. It is a cross of pub food and gourmet, I liked it.

    Was in the area and just needed some lunch. I can't even begin to describe how much I like this meal. The salad was amazing, beautyofully dressed with great toppings and the mac and xh3ese was creamy and baked to perfection. What a great low key and cozy spot! Definitely will come back and bring friends.

    Opens late. Food comes in hot and fresh. Loved their special butternut soup and fried chicken burger. It's massive and delicious. Large selection of alcohol on tap. Patio is really nice here

    Fantastic Portobello and goat cheese concoction on focaccia...really nice surprise and so were the fries. Nice selection of wine-by-the-glass. Super-friendly service! Terrace with/without sun. My only issue was the wine was not served cold enough...but they kindly tried to fix that. Since adding ice to a good Sauvignon Blanc is an act of pure insanity, keeping bottles on ice would solve issue if fridge is off.

On a Sunday evening, it was quiet and intimate. Our server, whose name I did not learn, was excellent: kind and willing to make recommendations. Union Social has an excellent menu, with lots of diversity to cater to all palates, but not so many items as to be overwhelming for either staff or customers. We started off with cocktails, and my son's Citrus Mule -served according to tradition, in a copper mug - was so tasty. I enjoyed my Smoky Apple Old Fashion so much. It is worth coming here for a cocktail alone. Now, on to the mains (we skipped the appetizers, but the shrimp tacos did look tempting). I explained to our server that I was torn between the Smokehouse Beef Burger (which I regretted not ordering on a previous visit) and the Spaghetti Positano, a seafood pasta finished with lemon-herb breadcrumbs. She enthusiastically and energetically recommended the pasta (I love it when they actually give a recommendation, as opposed to, "Well, it depends what you want"). I was not disappointed! The seafood spaghetti was terrific! Surprisingly, the breadcrumbs more than compensated for a sprinkling of parmesan. I savoured the leftovers the next day, and I'm still thinking about it. The other diners, who ordered Cobb Salad, the Chicken Sandwich Special, and the Tuna Bow, were similarly satisfied. Apparently, the Steak Frites and the Fish and Chips were outstanding, as was my Pasta Positano (especially for garlic lovers!). A few other diners ordered dessert: they each had creme brulee, smoking hot from being freshly torched. The surface featured that perfectly glossy, lightly burned sugar, which always reminds me of a caramel-colored skating rink. The dessert was, according to my daughter, who is a connoisseur of creme brulee, was perfectly done. To finish off, my son (don't worry, he's an adult) had an espresso martini. I had a sip, and I can totally vouch for it being so divine! We had a very satisfying meal, and I'd only wish that I knew my server's name so that I could acknowledge how excellent she was. I'll be back. I keep planning for the burger, but right now, I could sure go for another helping of Spaghetti Positano!

Everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes, but let's be real... it wasn't the best meal ever. The food was definitely mid, but still solid. Overall: Amazing service and great atmosphere make this place worth checking out.

Since then I've been to Granite many times for various other Events with the beer lovers Group and other social Groups I've been a Member of, including their Sunday Buffet Brunch which I believe they no longer have. I've always had a quite enjoyable time there as the venue is quite spacious overall and their back patio (they have a front patio too) is quite nice, spacious and covered in case of inclement weather. The Brewery's beer selection has always been quite solid with a variety of offerings featuring many different styles and flavours. Other than brunch - which has always been quite good - I don't believe I've had any other meals/food there. I plan to continue visiting for their annual beer fests as the 3 I've been to were all very enjoyable.

I'm so disappointed that I didn't capture a picture of them. The bread was fresh and warm and paired nicely with the hummus. I really enjoyed the deconstructed Romaine Hearts - Caesar dressing, chopped egg(I removed the chopped egg), Parmesan, & toasted bread crumbs. I really enjoyed the presentation and the toasted bread crumbs. For my main my friend and I order the Halibut and my other friend got the gnocchi. Both were just delish! The gnocchi were just pillowy and soft with Maitake mushrooms, wild garlic leaves, peas, porcini cream sauce, and Parmesan crumble. The halibut was cooked to perfection. I really loved the flavour and the bacon added that saltiness you wanted to balance out the rich fish beurre fondue, sherry vinegar and veal jus reduction. I really wanted to order the coconut cream pie which they are famous for but we brought in a cake for her birthday. There is a cake cutting fee, but they did nicely cut and plated the dessert which was a nice touch.
