My Grandmother won a certificate for this place at the seniors tea so we decided to try it last night. She ordered the Veal special and myself the "AAA NY steak". We have never ever been given more disgusting food. My steak was 80% fat, and not the grilled kind. The steak was pale grey with no seasoning, no marinade, no flavour and NO grill marks. The rice was dry as rocks. The veg were fine but coated in only pepper. My Grandmothers veal was so over done it was dark brown and like shoe leather.
We had a couples night and had a great time. The band was pretty decent. We were told that they do a pretty long rotation with bands so there is alot of variety. Probably the best service in Markham, the staff is just fantastic.
A group of us went for a late night visit. A live band was playing, which was awesome. The waitress stayed on top of us the entire time, so we never had to wait for anything. I can see there are alot of complaints posted on here, could these be the same people I see on my vacations who whine that the hotel staff in Mexico do not speak fluent english? I think some people just like to whine.
We all went for the all day breakfast they have on the weekend. I had eggs, toast, baked beans and sausage and felt like it was just the way mom used to make it. Absolutely brilliant. Kindly young man served us and was efficient and very polite.
We had an absolutely great time. The place was packed, but we were well looked after the entire time. Our food arrived in very good time, everything was hot and tasty, and I thought very reasonably priced. They have a great selection of import beer on draft. The service was great and we will definitly go again.
This is a place that is rapidly declining into divedom. The wings were overcooked, dry and sinewy. The carrots and celery flacid. The environment is noisy and and the patrons well overpoured. Sad because there are much better alternatives.
I really hope that 1 = really awful because if not, than I mean 10.
I would like to select the dropdown that represents "really awful"
This place was so dirty, your shoes wouldn't even want to go near it.
