Super convenient location right at the heart of Yonge and Dundas square, but a bit hard to find the entrance (go all the way up the escalators to the top floor, next to Milestones). The venue is pretty big inside and has a heated patio with a great view of Yonge Dundas square.
Food and value- 2/5 at most. Pretty basic pub food, unhealthy, and very overpriced. Items on the lunch menu hover around $11-18 while regular/dinner entrees are over $18. We ordered regular and sweet potato fries for the table, which were pretty small size, but enough for 1 person as an appetizer. The nachos shared platter was huge and came with sour cream, guac, and pdg. Don't order any of the battered fried meats - suuuuper basic and small/overpriced. The salads were impressive though, relative to everything else on the menu. As a pescatarian who wanted to avoid dairy since I forgot to bring Lactaid, I had a hard time finding edible things on the menu. I eventually ordered the Ahi Tuna Mango Avocado salad, which also came with crispy tortilla chips. The tuna was kind of bland, but fatty and I liked it. The grilled chicken salads also looked impressive.
Service- 3/5. Today we came with a large group, so gratuity was already included at 16%, which is standard but unfortunate today because the service that we received was very mediocre at best. I guess they have a lot of newcomer staff recently because service was very slow and disorganized - our waters remained empty for most of the meal, orders and the bill took a long time to come, and we literally had to chase down our waiter for service despite the venue being rather empty at around 3PM. At one point, 6 hostesses were standing beside our table, but none of them could help us and they forgot to relay the message to our actual server that we needed service. Pros: when service was present, they were very friendly and professional.
Won't be back again unless I have to.
