Congratulations to Lory and Brian! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and prosperity!…read more I had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Royal Venetian Mansion in Aurora. It was a beautiful and very spacious venue that also hosted the ceremony on their rooftop patio. Following the ceremony, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were provided by the venue, along with desserts, and late night stations with a whole suckling pig, sliders, fries, and poutine. Everything was delicious! The banquet hall was huge and spacious, with intimate lighting, and an enormous dance floor. The table décor was very classy and beautiful. The house sound system, however, left a lot to be desired. The tonal balance and echoes made the speeches sound muddled. The sound quality improved later on when DJ Jonathan Shaw, aka Juiceman, kept the dance floor packed for the rest of the evening. The main dinner, a ten course Chinese banquet meal, was provided by Grand Catering. As usual, this type of banquet included Roasted Suckling Pig and Jellyfish, Crab Claws, Seafood and Broccoli, Seafood and Fish Maw Soup, Mushrooms with Chinese Greens, Steamed Fish, Fried Chicken with Fried Rice, Noodles, and Lobster. Special dishes were provided for guests with allergies. This was a very good meal with excellent service!

I have very mixed feelings about my experience here for my brother's wedding…read more The venue itself is magnificent. Let's get that out of the way. If this was a review on just the venue, I would give it 5 stars. Absolutely gorgeous interior, from the reception rooms to the washrooms to the upper level to the outside shrubbery. The food is where I think the place could use major improvement. Let's start off with cocktail hour. Some of the hors d'oeuvres did not come out hot but rather cold which was slightly disappointing. The arancini was fantastic and the chicken satay skewers were juicy. I feel like the servers could've come out more frequently with trays of food. It did seem like a lot of ppl had to scout and hunt down servers for food during cocktail hour. Drinks-wise, the bartender was great. Funny banter, smile on his face and super talented at making drinks. Moving on to dinner, here's where the crux of my feelings lie. My bro has basically let it slide and he's not one to say anything after the fact, but he hates cucumber and when he was choosing a salad for his wedding he had chosen the non-cucumber salad. Imagine his surprise when, for his reception, the venue messed up and prepared cucumber salad for him and all the guests. I told him to speak to a manager but he was apathetic and refused to do it so I will speak up on behalf of him. No partial refund or apology was ever offered to him. They just took his money and let it fly. The pasta dish was the best dish of the night. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was nice and rich. The main course was frankly a disaster. Everything was way overcooked. The chicken breast was extremely dry and sandpaper-like. The salmon had zero moisture in it and the loaded baked potato wasn't very loaded with cheese, bacon or chives (it looked like they had scooped out the potato and just mashed it up further and then rescooped it back into the potato skin). This was quite possibly the worst main course entrée I've ever consumed at a wedding. Dessert was mango sorbet and it was quite nice. The mango flavour was very strong. There was also a waffle bar at the end of the night which was the highlight for me. Fresh waffles with ice cream. Who knew the dessert would be the best? I think if this venue tightens up their food offering they would be excellent, however, as it stands, the food was a letdown in my opinion, salvaged only by the fresh waffles at the end of the night. One bonus that I do think deserves mentioning is that there is very good ventilation running through the mansion. I never felt like I was going to be consumed by heatstroke or sweat.

Visited Romy's booth at the Aurora street festival this summer. They had several options for food,…read morebut the crispy curry chicken roll was what intriqued my partner. The curry chicken roll was like a large spring roll, thin wrap exterior lightly fried with small bread crumbs. The inside was a mix of potatos, curry and chicken. It was delicious and the sauce they had for the roll only augmented the flavour. Sampling the chicken roll has made us want to try the restaurant if we are ever in the area. The reviews also reflect this and looking forward to try their foods!

We were visiting Toronto for the Thanksgiving Holiday and we asked friends for a nice lunch…read morerecommendation and they recommended Romy's. This place is absolutely a gem. * Reservations: The restaurant is small so definitely make a reservation if you can. They are open only for lunch, they have take out during the day and since they are not open for dinner they have fresh prepared dishes that can be picked up for dinner with instructions on how to warm them and serve at home. * Ambiance: The restaurant is very clean and has an outstanding ambiance. * Service: The staff is extremely courteous and helpful in picking out the dishes and talking through their specials. The Chef even spent time with us. Him and his wife run the restaurant and they are a lovely couple; it is obvious they have poured their life and soul in this restaurant. * Food: The menu speaks for itself (see pic). I went there with my family and I swear I wanted to order a few dishes to try but settled on one for now. I can guarantee you that I will be back. Here is what we ordered: Appetizers - We ordered fries and the Casava Croquettes. They were absolutely to die for. For the table they brought in homemade plantain chips and casava chips. The sauce that came with the Casava Croquettes was very unique and super tasty. Mains - Peppercorn Steak Sandwich: I ordered this sandwich and I have to say it was the perfect size (not too big and not too small). The Swiss cheese was high quality and the beef was cut in bite sized chunks that complemented the sandwich perfectly. The chef had some crispy fried onions on the top which was a nice accent to the sandwich...each bite was incredible. I got the salad for my side which was tossed with a vinaigrette dressing and it was very tasty. - Halloumi Grilled Cheese: My wife ordered this with a side of salad and she thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. - Penne with Cream Sauce (added Chicken): My 7 year old ordered this (added chicken) from the adult menu and there was only one bite left at the end. I tried the alfredo sauce and it was a PERFECT sauce - not too heavy or cheesy but very rich and tasty. - Grilled Striploin: My 14 year ordered this. The strip was not fatty and perfectly seasoned. The vegetables that came with it were crunchy and lightly seasoned (perfect amount of salt and taste) - cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and carrots. I had to try them b/c they looked like they were cooked almost perfectly (not over done and had a great shine that they were just perfect). Desert - Apple Crumble: My kids ordered this and we tried it. It was very fresh and not overpoweringly sweet; it was great. Coffee - My wife and I ordered the cappuccino and the presentation was just outstanding I would HIGHLY recommend you try this restaurant; I know the next time we are in town we will be visiting Romy's again. A few things of note: 1) The price of the meal was totally affordable which was shocking given the quality of the meal, the ambiance, and the service. 2) This place is kid friendly; the kid's menu is attached. 3) The restaurant offers catering services for private parties. We will likely take them up on this service.

A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.
