A little pricey but they were generous with the amount of protein, and being 5"2 Asian girl, I had leftovers lol. The very cherry chocolate cheesecake was enjoyable the first few bites for me and my husband, but ended up getting a bit too sweet! Might be better to share with at least one more person. The menu can be quite overwhelming since they give you so many options, but it would be a good spot for large groups. Highly recommend making a reservation, especially during the weekends.

This was my first ever visit to Cheesecake Factory after hearing people rave about this place so…read moremuch. I have to say I was very underwhelmed by both the food and the service. We had to wait 1.5 hours for a table - we decided to explore the Yorkdale mall to kill some time and when we finally got to sit, we were told they ran out of the fried mac and cheese balls which was one of their most popular item and something we really wanted to try. Anyway, our server said she didn't see any bread and will bring us some if she sees it. Kinda weird... We ordered our food and the wait time was quite long. The calamaris were really bad. No taste whatsoever, just deep fried and served. The Asian chicken nachos were okay but it barely had any chicken in it. For mains the chicken madeira was the only highlight of our meal. The chicken was tender and flavourful and the mashed potatoes were really well done (can't go wrong with that, eh?) but the spicy chipotle pasta didn't have enough sauce and it needed a good mix tbh. The taste was good though. The rigatoni was also very mid. Given the average food taste and the service, I don't see myself coming back, that's for sure.

The honey garlic smoked wings were delicious! Fell off the bone as well and was very well sauced. The fries were crispy even with the sauce on top. 10/10 for value! The entire pack was about 20$ after taxes and I really can't complain about anything at all. They give you enough to fill your stomach up and have some food possibly to spare. 9/10 for customer service, the staff were really pleasant and was attending to our needs for extra sauces and anything we needed. 6/10 for space, I wished it was a tad more spacious. People who were sitting behind me was bumping my chair and the next table beside us was too close, but would definitely come back again!!

The amazing owner Carlo responded almost immediately with full support and information on what he would provide. Can I just tell you, not only did Ramona's Kitchen come through in a big way, but the food itself was so delicious! The kids just devoured the chocolate chip cookies! The breakfast sandwiches were fresh, the egg was cooked to perfection and there was so much ham! I frequent Ramona's Kitchen personally but usually for lunch! After tasting these breakfast sandwiches, I will for sure be going for this exact breakfast again! A huge thank you to Ramona's Kitchen for not only their generosity but also for feeding the kids with healthy, tasty and quality food!

But what can I say? I've never had pork that was as tender and juicy like this! It was so surprising cause the pork souvlaki from food courts are always on the drier side but not here! And the in-house tzatziki sauce? Mouthwatering! The portions (if you've not already heard) are huge and explain the higher price for a plate (around 23$+). If you're not too hungry, you can definitely split a plate. Despite the fast paced environment, the staff kept a good vibe and even offered to have me come back after eating to pick up my cheesecake slice so it can be kept cold until then. That to me shows they care about our experience dining at their restaurant. Can't wait to be back!

The place is a food court style seating arrangement so you'll have to find your own seat. Order and pay at the front as well, staff will clean your area once done. Each dish comes with a tray, prices for dinners are on the high side roughly $20-28 but portions are massive! The fries are pretty good, quite oily. Chicken souvlaki is not dry, flavourful as well. Got the fish & chips which showed two pieces on the photo but I only got one. Disappointing. Place is decent. Rating 4/5, would come here again and order something else.

Taking over the location of the now (sadly) closed Smoke BBQ joint, Hoops Is now open in Vaughan…read more This area could definitely use a sports bar, as Buffalo Wild Wing across the street is the only place to really watch the game and have a pint, so it makes sense. I've been to the Hoops downtown Toronto many times, but only because its closest place to get a beer during Fan Expo. The food was average at best so I didnt have high hopes for this location. We wandered in on a Friday night, and boy has it changed since The Smoke was there. There are tv's EVERYWHERE, which is pretty awesome. The place is pretty ugly though. Yeesh. Talk about drab. The staff are all very young and inexperienced, but very nice and accommodating, and got our orders perfectly. This place just opened so I'm sure it wont take long for them to feel more natural and at ease. The bar was impressive and has a great selection of liquors. This place will be perfect for anyone coming just to watch and game and have a drink. Cuz the food is not great. I ordered the special of the day, steak fajitas. They were awful. Steak was overcooked and bitter. Hard to bite through. The veggies were slimy. Yuck. My wife's chilli nachos were pretty good! Fyi there is no kid's menu, so we got our kid chicken fingers and fries. The fries were decent. The chicken fingers were bland but were cooked well and had an awesome crisp to them. But yeah bland chicken fingers. It was also drafty in there. Chilly. Not cozy. They did have a DJ there playing who was good, music gave a good vibe to the place for a Friday night. In the end this place feels like a pub from 15 years ago, when this kind of food was expected from a pub, before all the chain pubs stepped up their food game. Stick to the booze and enjoy the game, and you'll like this place. And hey the fries are good.

The vibe inside is cozy and relaxed with a modern café-bistro feel. It's bright, welcoming, and definitely lives up to the name "Chillax." It feels like the kind of place you can sit and enjoy a slow brunch or a casual dinner without feeling rushed. For brunch, two dishes really stood out. The braised pork eggs Benedict was fantastic. The pork was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the creamy hollandaise and poached eggs. The gochujang fried chicken brioche burger was another highlight. The chicken was crispy with just the right amount of spice, and the soft brioche bun tied everything together. We also came back for dinner and tried the seafood paella, which was rich, comforting, and packed with seafood. It's definitely a great dish to share. For drinks, the cheesy mango ice matcha was surprisingly good. The mango adds sweetness while the cheese foam makes it creamy and indulgent. A really unique combination that works well. Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, with most dishes around the $20-$30 range. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch, dinner, or just drinks. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

The restaurant isn't super clean as we did notice it wasn't that well kept (food and cutlery on the ground and there was an sour-ish smell wafting through the air).

Was seated right away during lunch hour on a weekday - place was pretty empty, not many customers , however place was quite large with plenty of tables. Lighting was very dark - definitely bar vibes - didn't recall if there was any music - all I could hear was the tables nearby bickering. Ordering was simple - and server was pretty nice - however food toke a long time to arrive - over 30 minutes. Which is technically fine if they were busy - but they really weren't that busy at the time. Steak, bacon and Swiss - steak was soooo dry - bottom of the sandwich was so greasy - my hand was basically drenched - fries were crisp but had no flavor , not even a hint of salt. Also had a Gingerale, which tasted super watered down. - Will not re-visit on my next trip -
