Service was excellent. The time taken to decide what to order and the time taken to answer our questions was impressive. Questions were asked to make sure our dinner was exactly what we wanted.

Platter had chicken, hummus, three sides, pretty good. Chicken was pretty dry, so that's why they put all that sauce! Was adequate with the taste. Sides were great. Fattoosh salad, proper. Potatoes kind of dry still. But I'm not complaining for half off!

I've dropped by Mooring Eats a couple of times. Both visits involved picking up baklava for my dad,…read moreincluding a quick-and-dirty visit yesterday. My first visit was a few months ago after work. This eatery is in Mimico. I used to hang out in this area fairly often several years ago, so it helped that I was kind of familiar with the area. As with many neighbourhoods in Toronto, things change quickly! Both times, I found a parking spot facing Lake Shore Boulevard West, steps away from the store. This eatery is located in a plaza. There is additional parking to the left of the eatery. I walked into Mooring Eats and it was busy. It smelled good. I got the warmest smile from Spiro at the order counter. His son, Wagih, was working alongside him. Both own the eatery. I ordered the mixed shawarma plate a few months ago, which consists of chicken and beef shawarma, with your choice of two sides. Wagih asked me what sides I wanted. I had no idea what sides were available. He was so patient and kind to point them out. I went with chickpea salad and basmati rice. Spiro was generous to say that I could get more sides if I wanted to. I was okay with the two that I chose because they looked so good. Both of them helped put my plate together. I got tahini and garlic sauce. The plate comes with pickled turnips and pickles. I also got baklava for my dad during my first visit. He has always loved baklava and it looked so good in the clear boxes in front of me. Spiro wanted to confirm whether I was going to dine in or do takeout. I went with the latter, as I was flying to the Twin Cities the next day and needed to pack. He put both my items in a bag and handed it over to me. I thanked them both for the food. They hoped that I'd enjoy my food. It looked so good. I headed to my car, backed my car onto the street, and headed home. I visited my parents first before I headed home the first time I got my dad baklava. I dropped it off. My dad's eyes lit up. He insisted that I have a couple of squares. There were six. I ate two. I loved them. The baklava isn't drenched in honey. It was slightly sweet, with the pistachio nuts and flaky pastry standing out more. I am not a huge baklava person because I dislike how sweet it can get, but I am a fan of this version. I flew out to the Twin Cities the following day. My dad told me that he ate the whole thing after I had left. Note to self: Get two boxes for my dad next time. Guess what I did yesterday? I got my dad two boxes. It's Sunday. Guess how many boxes are left? One. I did well getting two boxes this time. The chicken and beef shawarma plate that I had months ago was delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the proteins were tender. I loved the garlic sauce and tahini. The garlic was pretty strong, which I prefer. The tahini was excellent. The chickpea salad was yummy. It was refreshing with the lemon in it and it had garlic, too. I loved the basmati rice. It was so fluffy and comforting eating it with my shawarma. It was great dropping by yesterday to get baklava for my dad. I'm not in this neighbourhood often, but it worked out so well after watching a movie at Cineplex Queensway. I'll be back for more, especially when my dad runs out of baklava. (180)

First time trying La Vita down at Port Credit in the middle of the week, and I'm so glad I did. The…read moreinterior had a moody atmosphere with simple and clean design. I ordered the Pumpkin Gnocchi (5/5) and Soppressata Diavola (5/5). Pumpkin Gnocchi was pillowy soft with a creamy yet delicately sweet sauce. It also had a nutty flavour to it from the toasted pine nuts. The short rib was delicious. Highly recommend this dish. Soppressata Diavola had a mild kick to it balanced with flavours of the tomato sauce and herbs. The dough itself was made well with the perfect balance between chewiness and crispiness. I'd order this again. The server we had was welcoming and patient. She was patient and did not make us feel rushed at all. We didnt realize that they were already closed because we were deep in our conversation and there were still a group two tables down from ours (we found out it was the owners). We felt really bad for overstaying but the owner was so sweet and even took the time to have a quick chat with us.

I got it home and it's decent. The chicken kebab is obviously the star here; it's very tender and packed with flavor. The rest of the concoction is just so-so, as nothing really stood out or knocked my socks off. (I will say that this is one of the puniest wraps I've ever eaten. I feel like I took about five bites and it was finished, which is especially disappointing given that it costs almost $20.) The inside of the restaurant seemed pretty cool, so I think I'll probably return sometime to have a full-fledged meal.

I have consistently supported Lyla since their opening a couple of years ago. I have taken my girlfriend for date nights, sat at the bar own my own to enjoy a cocktail or bowl of pasta (or both), had a quick mother/son drink, hosted my Dad and my girlfriend for a more formal dinner, and even encouraged my girlfriend to organize a girls night there. The service has consistently been thoughtful and on point. The cocktails are excellent; the wine list dynamic/good for pairing. And the food, particularly the pasta dishes, is excellent. 5+ stars all around. Cheers, Max
