    An unexpected find on our wine tour adventure. Excellent local creative food in a cool well situated space. Worth a trip!

    Terrible experience. Nothing on the menu worth the price. Destination restaurant for us. Very disappointing

    Disclaimer: I don't frequent bars, pubs, or other noisy places…read more I went to Rosie's restaurant just to try their beet burger, which is (supposed to be) vegan. I wasted my time, the burger tasted awful, and was terribly presented: the buns, patty, lettuce, and a tiny bit of (onion?) sauce. I mean come on, other veggies exist asides from lettuce. What about cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mushrooms? And what about other kinds of sauces or condiments, mustard, ketchup, hummus? When they offered me choice of several sides and I asked for the beans, they told me they put bacon in it...really? How hard is it to not shove meat into everything? In would NOT recommend this place as my meal tasted terrible and felt like there were quite a few things missing. That being said, you may have a better experience if you are not vegetarian or vegan, and if you enjoy noisy places with a bunch of alcohol -- I don't, and I felt some quite negative vibes from there.

    Disclaimer, Covid practices were very well in place so could have contributed to our poor…read moreexperience but we've visited in the past and the food was much better. The visit this time was not good. Their Covid measures were excellent though! Very thorough. However, we ordered the mozza sticks (were served barely warm), the fish and chips was fine but nothing great, the philly cheese steak sandwich was not edible. It was greasy, the bread was soggy, the cheese and veggies hid a miniscule amount of poor quality steak "bits", it made me feel nauseous after a few bites because it was actually gross. The service was horribly slow albeit friendly. Sadly, we won't go back there are too many great places to eat. We did not eat at Paddy's pub adjacent so this is not a reflection on their pub.

    The Short Version: Popular restaurants that makes their food…read morefrom scratch and sources ingredients locally. Tasty food and friendly service. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner at The Wooden Monkey and we enjoyed it. I always prefer organic and locally sourced ingredients as they are fresher and as a result usually taste better, so that's one of the reasons it was on our list of places to try. I initially wanted the haddock burger and was thrilled to hear that their bun (which they bake in-house) was a plain bun without sesame seeds or poppy seeds. However, our helpful server, Angie, informed me that the breading for the haddock contained sesame seeds, so I had to order something else :( My backup plan was the Fish Cakes ($17.50). The default side is "roasties" which is their famous roasted potatoes, but Angie recommended a side salad instead since the fish cakes contained potatoes and it would be a lot of starches without vegetables. This was a great suggestion. I did want to try their roasties so I got the half salad half roasties upgrade (an additional $5) and chose the Sweet Apple salad. My husband got the salmon ($29.25). He chose roasties as his side, but his salmon automatically came with some roasted vegetables too. My fish cakes were good, but I felt there could have been a bit more fish. The potato to fish ratio was high. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I liked the homemade tartar sauce. The roasties were seasoned potato wedges. I liked the thin and crispy ones. The thicker and softer ones, not so much. However, my husband gladly ate them, lol. The Sweet Apple salad was delicious (Angie said it was her favourite when I was deciding on that one or the Beet salad). It had mixed greens, apples, carrots, daikon, goat cheese, walnuts and green onions. The dressing was a maple mustard dressing, which I requested on the side and it arrived as requested. The ingredients were fresh and I really liked the flavours of the salad. There was a tiny bit of coleslaw on my plate too. It was good (vinegar instead of mayo based) but was only a tiny mouthful. My husband enjoyed his salmon. I had a taste and agreed that it was great. My husband also got a beer (Propeller pilsner $9). The restaurant has a monkey motif so the decor is full of monkey stuff. Angie was a fabulous server. Friendly and attentive and helpful. They have indoor seating and patio seating when the weather is nice. Street parking only. Review #127 (2026)

    We stopped in to get lunch and the menu looked really good especially their specials with a cream…read moreof mushroom soup and a salmon pesto fettuccine. There was a couple in front of us. That had been waiting a long time for a table and two waitresses working in a gentleman. Unfortunately, we waited 15 minutes to even get acknowledged about getting seated at that point we decided to leave unfortunately we won't be back and now we understand why there's a four star rating.
