But..... my gosh. The dishes looked nice. My niece said her food was okay. Her cousin said his food was overcooked. My dish was trash, my gosh, I couldn't stomach the taste. The salmon was tough, tasted bad, rank. The seasoning was weird and didn't pair well. It had some kinda spice that tasted odd. I don't even know what to say about it. But later that night I was throwing up well into the morning. I only eat possibly 3-4 small bites, most of the dish was left back. I still tipped and didn't complain as I just wanted the kids to have a nice night without arguing with whoever. As I write this I am reminded of the disgusting taste. NEVER again for that dish! Now that I think about it I honestly shouldn't have tipped. Paying for that dish was already above and beyond!

The dessert table was a highlight, with lots of great options, and drip coffee is included. All the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the service throughout our visit was warm and friendly. The interior has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes it an easy place to settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal. Reservations are highly recommended, and the good news is you can book directly through their website, which makes planning ahead simple. A great spot for a delicious and comfortable weekend brunch.

For dinner time they dim the lights to provide a cozy and romantic setting. Our server Jamie was very friendly and patient. She brought us waters right away while we looked at the menu. We ordered 2 Amsterdam blonde lagers to with our dinner. They served the beers in chioled mugs. The beer was smooth and refreshing. My wife ordered the Lamb rack and I ordered the 12 oz ribeye with peppercorn sauce from the Fall prix fixe menu $69 for 3 courses. There's a choice of appetizer and dessert. I got the Dicarlo Italian meatballs and Chocolate black out cake. The Italian meatball dish was served with garlic bread and basil tomato sauce. The garlic bread can be dipped in the tomato sauce. The mains were outstanding. The lamb rack was cooked perfectly and just the right amount of seasoning. The honey roasted potatoes and vegetables were a great compliment to the dish. The 12 oz ribeye was grilled to perfect medium rare and topped with peppercorn sauce. The garlic mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. The chocolate black out cake was a nice way to celebrate my wife's birthday. The cake was rich and Overall the food was great and service was exceptional. The staff came by to take a photo for our special occasion. If you are in the Oshawa area I recommend this steakhouse.

The bill came to around $700 dollars. Wildfire missed out on a $700 sale, maybe you should run your business a bit more professional.

It's personal preference, I like my steak with just salt and pepper without sauce. My fault for not reading the menu correctly. The sides of purée and veggies were great.

Every dish I had was very good. For this meal I ordered something different, the shrimp stuffed catfish. Never had catfish so this dish was calling me. The sauce was very tasty and had a nice kick of heat to finish. Catfish was good and the shrimp stuffing was more like a meat ball texture and not really whole shrimp like I thought. Service was very good. Our waitress was chatty and was joking around with us which was fun. Ambiance is more on the rustic side almost had a saloon feel, partly because of the old building but it was quaint. There was plenty of free parking in the rear which was convenient. All in KB is a good option if you are looking for an above average restaurant in the east end.

Based out of an old Bank (with the Bank Vault still present in the back for private parties), the atmosphere was not a dark pub of old but updated to be classy, clean and suitably modern. The service was friendly right off the bat, we didn't wait longer than 15 seconds until we were greeted and seated. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the specials, making some good recommendations when asked. They were very enthusiastic about what they were serving and I can see why! The food was delectable, delicious and hit all the notes. I was looking for a good pub and I found an excellent one! I tried the burger which was juicy and perfectly cooked. I shared the California sandwich as well and I can't decide which one was better, it was a very tough call. When I'm back in Whitby I will definitely return.

Normally I have no problems but Friday June 12th around 4pm the bar was a bit busy but does off. Then I didn't check my bill and later realized I didn't get any kind of price adjustment on the food my daughter didn't eat and had to pay extra for the fires thinking it was in place of the kids meal that wasn't fully eaten Not impressed by the service received.

I let her know that I had a weird food suggestion. I asked her if she'd like to go to The Keg. I saw a veggie shepherd's pie on the menu. I was intrigued. My friend is vegan. I'm suggesting that we go to a steakhouse. Luckily, she said yes. I did a search. I found this one in Oshawa, which is roughly midway between Peterborough and Markham. We met last Friday at around 6:15 pm. It's a part of Oshawa Centre, but on its own structure-wise, away from the physical mall, across from Shoppers Drug Mart and Hudson's Bay. I rarely go out on Friday nights. I didn't look to see whether we could do a reservation. Instead, we just showed up to try our luck. I parked somewhat close to the main entrance. My friend arrived ten minutes later. We met up and walked in. We approached the reception area. I asked for a table for two. The woman said that seating at the bar would take 40 minutes. It would be a 1.5-hour wait for one in the dining room. We went with the former. I left my name with the woman. She asked whether we were going to wait inside or outside. We went with the former. I got a buzzer. I liked the strawberry-cucumber-infused water in front of us. I should have got a glass, but we were talking so much that it didn't cross my mind. I don't think we waited 40 minutes. I saw the buzzer go crazy with lights. The female host grabbed the buzzer from me and led us to the bar. Service was excellent. We had the best female server who was attentive and friendly. We got the following items: - Sourdough bread (complimentary) - Tropical spritz (non-alcoholic) - Diet Pepsi (me) - Onion rings - Veggie shepherd's pie - Mini crème brûlée We got water to start. Considering how much we were talking and catching up, it was needed! We both ordered the tropical spritz. It had alcohol-free pineapple liqueur, passion fruit, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, soda, and a charred pineapple on top. This drink was delicious and so refreshing. The charred pineapple was yummy. I wanted everything, but in a larger size. I ended up getting a diet Pepsi. I needed another cold, refreshing drink, but cheaper. This one hit the spot. My friend was hungry and had a hankering for onion rings. We got some as a starter. They were crispy on the outside. The onion rings were sweet. It came with a mayo dip. My friend got ketchup. Both condiments were perfect. Our shepherd's pie came out next. It came with a large mixed greens salad. This meal was divine. The shepherd's pie had lentils and lots of veggies. The gravy was yummy. I actually used the sourdough bread to it up. The mashed potatoes were perfect on top. I loved the mixed greens salad. Everything was crisp and fresh. The dressing was bright. The salad had pickled the onions. If they were sliced thinner, I would have enjoyed them more. The larger pickled onions still had that raw burn to them. Although we dined in the bar, we could still hear each other. It was great. The downside was that we were at a long table. A group of five folks sat on the opposite end and made the table rock as if were were on turbulent waters. I ended up shaking the table, which caught their attention to not do what they did. I shouldn't feel seasick eating at a table when I'm not on water. Sheesh! I felt like dessert and got a mini crème brûlée. It was the perfect portion. I wanted a bit of dessert. I got it here. I liked the contrast between the crispy sugary top part of the dessert that was fun to shatter, with the creamy custard layer underneath it. The orange slice was the perfect ending to my meal. We split the onion rings. It was cool not paying taxes for this meal. I wish it were the case all the time! We had belated Christmas presents to unwrap. It was funny that both the server and the manager asked if was a special occasion. We said no. Meanwhile, we had these gift bags for each other... haha! We spent almost three hours at this eatery. We used the washroom before we headed to our vehicles. The women's washroom is by the wine display. The washroom looked modern. The stall that I used was clean. I liked that there was a hook for my gift bag. There was plenty of parking at this eatery. I'm so glad that we met up here. It has vegan and vegetarian options. It was my first time not ordering a steak at The Keg. It was cool. The food and drinks were yummy and I had the best company with me. (56)

The room was beautifully arranged and the fireplace was a welcomed addition with the -12° temps outside. Our guests can't say enough nice things about the entire experience. The food was beyond expectations, beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The dessert options were works of art, I wish I had thought to take pictures! Our sincere compliments to the Chef of course. The entire staff at Harpo's worked together so beautifully to make this evening a dream come true for us. Harpo's incredible service and their patience maneuvering through a fun loving crowd, all the while, taking care of another wedding in an adjoining room is noteworthy! The evening was made even more special when we welcomed a few guests from the other wedding after they complimented us for knowing how to party. It was such a wonderful experience for ourselves, our family and our friends. Thank you to everyone at Harpo's and we'll see you for future birthdays and anniversaries. All the very best to the Harpo's staff!

On the most recent trip I really enjoyed the country fried steak. While it is heavy, it is perfectly fried and topped with a savoury and creamy white gravy. The fries on the side were cooked absolutely perfectly. The coleslaw was tangy and balanced. The Mac n Cheese was so creamy, with a hint of spice and topped with breadcrumbs to create a mix of flavours. This is already on top of the many other tasty dishes such as the pork shoulder and smoked chicken wings which I highly recommend. Butchie's is a BBQ staple for Durham region. I've been here several times and I'll be back many times over, especially during the summer for their beautiful backyard style patio!

No ribs or brisket, so I'm not sure if they really ever have that sort of bbq food available. The hush puppies were nice. I liked the crunchy/ crispy exterior and the soft, cake like interior. It was a savoury item I've never had before and definitely can understand why it's popular. I also like the sauces they served with these. Smoked chicken wings were amazing. Chicken had a nice salty, herby rub it was tossed in. It was like all dressed or bbq chip seasoning on top of the chicken which was a bit addicting. Our chicken was a bit over cooked and slightly dry, but it was still great. My partner had the country fried steak. I was going to warn him it probably wasn't his cup of tea but he never tried so there you have it. It was a fried thin steak with some gravy sauce over top. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to taste to be honest so I don't want to really judge it. I personally wouldn't order it. Nevermind if it's how it should taste, I just didn't love the soggy feel to it. The steak was super dry and over cooked. I loved the drink options. They carry a sparking tea made locally and I know they've tried to partner with local artisan drinks. They make milkshake the real way with real kawartha dairy ice cream, which is amazing. I love that they have real Kawartha Dairy ice cream too. The service is 10/10. People are incredibly friendly! The food took a while to come out the kitchen so definitely not an option for rushed dinners, but atleast it's fresh. Personally, I want to support them, but I think it's not my kind of food. I hope they continue to be in business though and spread their good spirits and fun. I'll definitely swing by for ice cream once in a while.
