I don't really know how to review this place. My parents have been members for a decade, I sailed…read morehere personally myself for ages. As a club it's great overall, but I want to talk about the food. I know, it's not open to the general public, meaning not just anyone can eat here (members only!!!) making my review sort of redundant. To respond to the obvious implication, yes I do feel pretentious right now, and no, I don't like it. When I actually end up going to dinner with my parents this is usually the place. The menu is small. The quality of the food isn't bad, but it won't blow you away. The burger isn't bad. The pork porterhouse isn't bad. I actually really like the meatloaf. Service is surprisingly bad sometimes, with an empty dining room. It bothers me, and causes me to lose a little more sanity each visit. Worth going to if.... you're a member.. I guess

This sounds like an exaggeration but it's the actual truth. The members that complained were wearing sandals themselves and felt the need to eat their food with their hands. We hand been sitting quietly for a couple of hours and had 1 drink each. The food was ok and the wait staff were friendly and reasonable.

Really late review but I attended a wedding here previously…read more Venue was decent. Food was OK, unsure if it was from a caterer or not but management or people claiming to be management really need more training. Tried to find water for a senior attending the wedding who was thirsty and was met with some rudeness - apparently the area of the venue wasn't open to the wedding. OK sure, I didn't see any signs saying that but but I politely asked if there was anywhere I could purchase some water at the venue and was just told that the area of the venue wasn't open to the wedding. I've been to weddings at Hamilton and St George's and neither acted like first class jackasses. The staff were always polite and helpful. I wish I could say the same for this place.

Throughout the night we had servers walking around asking if our plates were done and etc. I thought it was normal after I told them few times that I wasnt done because there was still a lot of food on my plate. We were all chatting, so obviously we had to stop. The servers just kept on asking, which kinda bothered me. Before the speeches started, they gave us sparkling wine. About 15 mins into the speeches, servers started taking away the sparkling wine glasses and we all found it odd because speeches were still going on and they didnt ask us if we were done. None of us had a sip so it was a waste! We ended up using water and white wine for toasting. It was only around 9:30, so they made it seem like they wanted to kick us out badly. Dessert table went by fast and when we asked if there was more coming out, they said yes. 30 mins later, still nothing. The ravioli was probably the best thing ever.

We held a sailing and dinner event here for our corporate partners and customers on 7/11…read more Fantastic service, excellent food and perfect ambiance. You must be a member of the RCYC in order to sail or dine here or be invited by a member to attend. Sarah assisted me in coordinating our group getting on/off the water taxi from Toronto over to the island and also with helping people get situated for the event since I was unable to attend in person. She did a fantastic job and went the extra mile, ordering an extra water taxi for me when one of our VP's was running late from a very important meeting. Everyone who attended gave me rave reviews on the skipper and crew than ran the three 8' foot yachts I reserved. The photographer I hired through the yacht club also did an amazing job. I set up a small training session with appetizers and drinks before they sailed, and that was well done. Dinner for everyone was also reported back to my VP's and GM's as delicious and executed well. They raved about the steak. The wine selection offered to me was a great choice of red and white from Canada, US, France and Italy. They have a strict dress code. No blue denim, short shorts, mini skirts or tank tops. Hats are only allowed on ladies if they go with their attire in the dining room. Collared shirts are required for dining. No cell phones or computers are allowed in the dining room. Non-marking soles are needed for sailing. They require a waiver be signed by each party before sailing. Due to weather, the skipper may cancel/change plans for the event. Turns out that when I was trying to book the place back in May, their power went out due to a large wind storm.

The Badminton and Racquet Club is located just west of St. Clair Station. Frankly, if someone…read morehadn't led me directly to the doors of the BRC, I would have had NO idea it was even there. I don't play Badminton, Racquetball or Tennis so it's clear that I'm not a member, but we came here for our work christmas dinner. The Club itself is fairly large, given that its smack dab in the middle of the city. However, as we went through a tour of the facilities and the building itself, its very clear that the building is old and disjointed and lacks proper flow from one area to another. The courts seemed to be in quite good condition though and you could tell this was an upscale type of club. The area where we had our lunch was quite nicely refinished and looked very crisp. We were seated in a room with a large round table for lunch. There was a set Christmas menu with choice for the main: squash and apple soup, a choice of Turkey Dinner, Salmon or Vegetarian and Christmas "pudding" for dessert. The food was quite good, I very much enjoyed the soup, a nice hearty appetizer for a cold day. The Turkey dinner was great, stuffing, vegetables, turkey, cranberry sauce and potatoes. The Christmas "pudding" was a bit odd, more like a cake with a small scoop of ice cream, but still good. Overall, it was a good experience for a staff luncheon but I dont' think I would recommend this venue for anything other than a relatively casual lunch (provided you know someone who's a member) as the facilities just don't seem to be able to handle much beyond that.

Though I've never been here to play Badminton...or any racquet related sport honestly, I have been…read morein their event spaces . The Badminton & Racquet Club is nothing special on the venue front. Yes, they can host weddings (or in the event I went to, a funeral - yay), but really in the city you could do much better. Their space is nice, through slightly dated, probably due to an older demographic who frequents the club (I assume!). It seems to me that they are going for a "classic" look, but the result is more of a "dated" look - it reminds me a lot of the Faculty Club at the University of Toronto - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if these clubs were somehow linked. In terms of food, they do make a mean cheese platter - at their finger sandwiches are definitely tasty. Also, the bartenders are heavy handed on the alcohol - which may have not been the most appropriate at the event I was attending - but you know. The bartenders themselves were quite friendly and one in particular makes quite a delicious caesar! The only part of the club that does not need an update, in my opinion, are the washrooms. I am a sucker for venue-branded one time use towels (I know, I'm a tree killer) and soaps and lotions, apparently. Overall as a venue, this place is ok, but nothing special. In a city of hundreds on venues, you could definitely do a lot better (but also a lot worse) than the Badminton & Racquet Club.

Who would have thought possibly the best steak I have ever had is at the dinner from a golf course?…read more I didn't even think of dining in a golf course restaurant. It ended up being a great meal, the view, the service, the vibe, everything great. The pizza (very fresh shrimp), fish & chips (that's the biggest "fish" I have ever seen, maybe it was salmon?) were also pretty good.

Large parking area with a short walk to the clubhouse…read more Golf clubhouse setting, beautiful scenery, too bad it was raining so patio seating was out of the question. Ordered Western omelette and the breakfast burrito. If this is what the golfers eat on a daily basis then sign me up. Complimentary ramekins of fruit before the main dishes arrived. Omelette was stuffed with fresh ingredients, fluffy and moist. Perfect ratio of onions, peppers, ham, etc. Potatos were crispy and fluffy with a side of whole grain toast. Breakfast burrito was grilled, stuffed with egg, avocado and bacon with crispy potatoes on the side Fireplace burning in the background, attentive staff, surrounded by 2 eighteen home golf courses, did I die and go to heaven. Maybe a little pricy for breakfast but I think my golf game may have improved just by the surroundings, well worth it.

From the outside it looks sort of like an apartment complex, or even a cult house!! No, I'm serious!! I didn't really know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. They have everything here, tennis courts, squash, pool, even a cafeteria and outdoor sitting area. It almost feels like a resort. I was here to watch a tennis tournament, it was the big tournament of the club. There were a lot of people, and not too many seats, that would be the only complaint. The food looked extremely delish, standard grill type food. Chicken fingers, fries, sandwiches... Nothing too special. If you're thinking of crashing this place, all you have to do is get past the security doors into the place. Wearing all white might help make you look like you are part of the club, as all players have to completely be decked out in white. There's a kids club downstairs, I didn't check it out but i think there's arts and crafts and other fun activities to keep your kids at bay. Relaxing atmosphere, a great place to spend the day.
