Overall, a very pleasant experience. They only lost a point because there was an egg shell in our meal.

Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

Ambiance is quite noisy even it is big restaurant . server asked us over 5, 6 , 7 times if everything ok. My dad did catering before and he said if he wants to get the customers leave, then he would keep asking if everything ok. Sunday afternoon is not very busy and not all full. Why did the server not leave us alone? Lots of parking over there.

The food on the other hand was super disappointing, my sirloin looks like a sad piece of overcooked meat (doesn't even look like sirloin). On the hand, the ribs and fries were both delicious but for the cost of $32 i would never recommend this.

From the moment I walked in, I regretted every life decision that led me to this door. The service? Non-existent. I think the servers were actively avoiding eye contact so they wouldn't have to do their job. It took 25 minutes just to get water, and by the time my food arrived, I had aged emotionally. The food? I've had better meals at gas stations at 3 AM. My "grilled" chicken tasted boiled, microwaved, then dropped on the floor for texture. The fries were cold, soggy, and somehow still burnt. Even the ketchup tasted tired. The atmosphere? If you enjoy sticky tables, flickering lights, and a soundtrack of loud people arguing over who hates the place more, then you'll feel at home. I couldn't even focus on my meal because I was too distracted by wondering if the ceiling was going to collapse. To top it all off, the bill looked like they accidentally charged me for the entire restaurant's rent this month. Save your money, your stomach, and your sanity. This place should be avoided at all costs.

They all came with a side of their golden fries. The garlic parm and honey garlic wings were decent. Flavours were okay, but the wings weren't juicy or plump. The hot wings were stale and dry like 3 day old wings that they just reheated, and the fries were deep fried to the point where the potato inside was dried too, tasted stale and old, like it's been sitting all day and they just refried the already fried fries. Will never order from here again. So many other wing places in the area to choose from.

Food and drinks all came out in a timely manner It's a great lil spot for some wings as it had the feel of your normal sports bar Wings and fries were on point Overall it was great experience and I'd highly go back for their wings night special

Hubby & I were out shopping on Christmas Eve for some last minute gifts and groceries. We were…read moreclose to downtown Markham and the idea of Draco came up. Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

Over the last few years, The Duchess of Markham has been a reliable spot for a good Irish Pub!…read more I can always count on them for a good time with friends while watching a soccer or hockey game while enjoying classic Irish pub fare! The Bangers and Mash is a classic representation as it hits home with the blend between perfectly grilled sausage with mashed potatoes and onion gravy! The Guiness Lamb Stew is also perfect for the winter as the lamb is nicely cooked with the root vegetables and does enjoy well with a slice of bread!

Location: Main Street Markham…read more Parking: There's some on street parking, but good luck with that. Half a block away there's a huge free lot! Decor: Send an old Tudor looking building. The inside looks like a pub. A pub that hasn't been decorated since the 1980s. I know it can't be the original carpet but it hasn't been replaced in a while. There is a nice big bar some seating around it and then the dining area is separated by half wall. It's a smaller space but comfortable. There's tables. They set it up in twos and fours. There is a fireplace and it's nice and cozy to sit by there on a cold day. What's kind of cool is when the kegs come in, the building is really old so the floor shakes is the kegs roll in. The food: Typical pub fair. It's good. I wouldn't call it generously portioned but a proper serving. Lunch time there is always a chicken wing special. They're pretty good. I do like the fish and chips. Staff: Everyone's always nice. I don't know if they have a lot of stuff or if they just go through stuff but they're always seems to be different people every time I go. I don't know how they manage hire all the really nice people but they do! Will I be back? Of course I will I come all the time

Decided to get some takeout here for a quick lunch…read more Service is decently fast but nothing exciting. Food: "Happy meal" - we got the thin sliced beef steak and beef ribs with black pepper sauce on rice. The cut of steak was okay. Nothing particularly special, not much flavor. The beef ribs were quite good though - cooking well, tender and flavorful. The black pepper sauce has a nice peppery kick. Dish comes with a bit of brocolli, sliced carrots and cauliflower. 3.5/5. Portuguese chicken - the chicken is on the dry side for sure. The sauce is okay but almost no vegetables. Sauce is not bad but lacks depth - 3/5. Both dishes came with milk tea which was good and creamy. Price: On the cheaper side but reflected in the fairly simple dishes. Good for a cheap eat to fill you up for a meal with carbs.
