So on a good day, jakes is probably a 3 star at BEST. Food is... Not typically what youd go for, its overpriced, but its the nicest patio on mainstreet so nbd. But omg, there was a group of 4 men beligerantly shouting the n word ALL NIGHT. OVERLY DRUNK shouting, shattering multiple glasses, and pressuring the young waitress to drink with them while shes working. Believe me this was cringe central, when she refused they were persistent, "OH DONT WORRY I KNOW JAKE WE ALL KNOW JAKEEEEEE". This isnt the first time, the crowd is generally younger university kids and its fun but every time ive gone i see at LEAST one table full of middleaged men just harassing the girls, sometimes physically, hands on their ass as they come by to take their orders, etc. Its gross. And then you alwaysssss hear them say "WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT WEEK DOLL" Might i point out they pay a dude as security to look intimidating that does nothing for them unless a drunken brawl breaks out. Jakes. Its 2021, your location is mainstreet unionville, there are plenty of clientele to fill the restaurant. Do better please. If not, honestly im going elsewhere because the food is mediocre, but the atmosphere is getting way too cringe. Again, this is a review after coming here for probably over 8years to have patio drinks and let me tell you, there are better spots. read more

Jake's On Main - Pulled pork nachos and shrimp and scallop tacos - Pubs Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

TLDR: Decent place to grab a drink and catch up with some friends. Typical bar/pub restaurant. Interior is a bit old looking. After a walk around Toogood Pond Park (just north of the restaurant), my friend and I wanted to grab a drink at a sit down place. Every time we walked down Main Street, we always see a crowd of people at this restaurant, so we thought to try it out. There wasn't a lot of people since we came around 2:30pm! Prices are similar to that in downtown toronto (pint of beer for $7-9, burgers for $13-17). Anyways, about the food: I got the rancho burger (onion ring, bacon, mozzarella and ranch sauce) with fries, and my friend got the pub's daily pie, which was the steak and mushroom, and a side of the French onion soup. The burger comes with 2, 4oz patties! Yum, but I can tell that the patties are not made in house (is it much like the m&m burger patties). The fries were super crispy, just the way I like it! My friend's steak and mushroom pie was mediocre, I couldn't taste must mushrooms from the 3 scoops I had, but there was decent amount of steak inside! I wasn't a fan of the French onion soup (I just don't like French onion soup :P), but my friend loved it. Will I be back? Well, maybe, their selection of grill cheeses/tacos/poutines looked very appealing :) read more

Nice lunch on patio. Service was fast and friendly in spite of busy Sunday afternoon on long weekend. I got Southwest bowl, no complaints. My husband got a wrap, my son got a burger. I agree it's a bit pricey but I really enjoyed being out in the patio and the food and service was good. read more

Mediocre food, average service but a great location & patio for summer days makes Jake's on Main still a place to hang out for some pub food and drinks (but probably only when it's nice out). Located on Main Street Unionville, Jake's is one of the busier spots on the street when the weather is nice out. I actually visit often but mainly just for a place to hang out and enjoy the nice weather with a cold beer. The food is average but I think makes the cut for a basic local pub. Menu consists of a mix of apps (nachos, calamari, etc...), burgers, pastas and such. Stuff you'd expect at a typical pub. Service is typically fine but may get slow when it gets busy (and it sometimes gets really busy). The best thing about this place is the large patio, and there are def great vibes here on summer weekend nights sometimes even with a live DJ. I'd recommend visiting for a drink on the patio when it is nice out. read more

The weather was nice so we decided to eat out on the patio front. The waitresses were friendly and somewhat attentive. We ordered the S.O.B sandwich, The Mexican burger, and some beer. I would recommend the burger as it was full of colorful flavors. The sandwich was however disappointing as the meat tasted bland and hard. If you're looking for a good outdoors patio place, give it a try. Stay for the drinks, not so much the food. read more

Waited 15 min for a server to come to greet us / to take order... and then waited 30 min for the food to arrive, but still no drinks... eventually the drinks came and then there's no straw... I asked 2 servers for 3 times and after another 20 min I finally got my straw and I was told that was their last straw (it was 6pm at the time). The food was cold when it was brought to us and the drinks were not cold. I think I will not visit this place ever again....... read more

On a chilly fall day, I passed by for drinks with my buddy. There was only one table with people on the patio. We opted to sit inside the bar and order a few drinks with some snacks. They actually had some beer specials and gave away glassware with every order. My friend order the big Octoberfest pint and convinced me to follow before my dinner plans. It was 36 oz of glory and the glass was pretty heavy. It's a great place to have a drink and the glass giveaway was a bonus. There is also a Stella beer and glass special. I may stop by for that souvenir. Service overall was great. read more

Jake's used to be a decent pub with a nice outdoor patio area. Those days are now history. We waited 15 minutes for our server to even acknowledge us. She took our order and never followed up the entire time until we asked for the bill. Service is nonexistent. So unfortunate. Food quality has gone down so much. Fries were stale. With so many options and variety around the area, there's no reason for us to come here again. read more

Officially my new favourite summer patio! Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. They serve typical pub food but I loved the ambiance of the outdoor patio. I ordered the beet and quinoa salad and it was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes are fairly large but I was able to finish my meal (it was very light). Prices were fair and service was pretty good as well. Will definitely be back! read more

This is my favourite steakhouse on Main st. Food is great and service too. Very enjoyable experience. I came last year and had to come back because I loved it so much. The patio is spacious and Main Street is perfect to walk after a nice lunch or dinner. The food tastes good, and you have a variety of different dishes to choose from. Food is fresh and comes pretty fast. I ordered the chicken stuffed with goat cheese and peppers and my boyfriend took the Mexican burger. Both dishes were amazing, if you enjoy burgers I would definitely suggest you to take the Mexican burger! Flavours are great ! What's delightful is that you can pick the meat you want in your burger, so you can create your own burger according to your meat preferences. read more

Came here on a Saturday night with reservations. Good thing we made reservations because it was crazy busy! If you're planning on going, definitely make reservations a few days ahead. Our server was so nice but wasn't really around much, I think because it was so busy. My friends and I were yelling to each other like we were at a concert, it was a little ridiculous. If you go on the patio, that would be better. Prices were decent. The food was okay. It was certainly good don't get me wrong! But it wasn't good enough to bring me back. read more

Nice place to hang out, was given a table on the patio but becauce it got chilly we requested to move inside. Our server Rachel was very nice and press prepared a table for us instantly. Live music playing and people gathered around to dance, simply enjoyable. I was not impressed with the food, average. Ordered the Clam chowder (soup of the day) - not bad but loaded with veggies, bacon cheess burger poutine - the beef on it was too salty, seafood fettucine- lots of seafood, worth every buck, canadiana pizza - normal. Service went downhill after we were moved inside. Rarely she checked on us and we need to ask other servers for our bill. Only to be told she will get our server to give us our bill which took a while. read more

Jake's has a nice patio, it is very spacious! I loved the outdoor dining experience, however, the food did not taste as good as I thought it would. I ordered the fish tacos and a salad. I did not like that they put my salad on the same plate as my tacos when they were two separate dishes. I enjoyed one of the tacos and when I had the second taco, I had to spit it out into my napkin because it tastes like something inside the taco was expired. Overall, patio is nice and salad tasted fine but unfortunately the salad was not worth $15. read more

Jake's On Main - Fish tacos and greek salad - Pubs Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

Okay, so I'm pretty sure everyone knows the area itself is nice, and the vibe at this pub is pretty good. However, the service.. not so much. Our waitress did check up on us, but hardly. Whenever we needed her, she was no where to be found and we had to order with other waitresses. At the end our bill had 2 random items, and luckily our waitress realized before we checked the bill, apologized and reprinted us a new bill (apparently it was supposed to be for two tables behind us). Our food was okay. I got the BBQ chicken pizza, while I was eating a slice, I'm like wow it tastes good, then I started getting to the bottom and realized how burnt the crust was. It was so burnt I had to rip off all the crust before eating it (pretty sure you can tell on my picture). read more

So.... who HASN'T been to jake's? I remember turning 19 and hanging out here almost everyday in the summer (WOW, DID I GET POOR). With that said, the pricing is high, even for a main street. I guess they make it work though, because boy do they get a lot of customers. The patio is the main treat in the summer time. Being a passerby, you are always envious when you see groups of friends drinking on the patio, swaying to the music and generally having a great time. However, as you approach, you get stopped bluntly by 'security' that think they're downtown bouncers. The power trip is unreal. The power trip is so unreal to the point where you think you'd have to pay customs to get in. The inside is like a giant house party, to be honest. Different rooms, upstairs, downstairs. It's LIT. The crowd is mixed, young teens with fakes to older groups of what could be hells angel's gang members. I don't remember the food being insanely amazing but I don't recall it being barf-worthy, ONLY hella $$$$. Service depends.. it seems like they can't handle it when it gets busy because servers get overwhelmed and either visit your table 20 times in two minutes or none at all in two hours. I don't even know. Jake's, please step it up. With pretty much the BEST spot on main street Unionville and a sunny summer coming up .. please. read more

Based on the reviews of all you fab-tastic Yelpers, I decided to take some friends to Jake's On Main recently to see what all the hype was about. Going in I had managed my expectations knowing both that the pro's I was aware of were that Jake's had great food, a fantastic patio (best in Unionville) and that it was the place to be for a summer night party. On the other hand the cons were that the food was a miss, the prices were high and the service was poor. With a split decision like this looming I felt I needed to venture in and see for myself. Overall my experience was pretty good, I have to admit. My friends and I enjoyed our drinks (how can you not enjoy beer on a patio in the summer) and we all agreed that for a Tuesday night the large patio was a frenzy of activity. Congrats Yelp, your reviews were on par. This being said, and I hope that someone from Jake's reads this as constructive criticism and not as me slamming them, but there are some core issues that contributed to less than stellar star rating. 1) Yelpers get another point for being ON POINT about pricing. A wee bit extreme for the GTA, this is isn't down town on college street - its the historic village of Unionville Main street. Most notable faux pas was $25+ for a pitcher of Sangria, especially when I knew the wine they are using and it retails for around $7/bottle. I've never paid more than $18. (-1 star) 2) Yelp! This food isn't so good. We placed an order for something simple that we could all share and something that is impossible to mess up - Nachos. Not a fan. I wanted to be, I really did, but there was way too much chilli con carne and salsa on these CHOS, to make me want to CHOOSE to eat them again. Yes the portion size is astronomical, but I think quality is far better than quantity here folks. Within minutes the chips were mushy and the cheese was hard. (-1 star). 3) Yelp, for 3...SWISH. Look I understand a bumping patio can get busy and but still no excuse for not doing quality checks on food (would have sent it back) and making us wait forever and a day for drinks and the bill. Maybe Tuesday night got unexpectedly busy and they were understaffed, but perhaps this is a Needs Improvement area. I wasn't awful, but not great (-0.5 stars). I give Jake's On Main 2.5 overall, but 3 officially. I will be back because we did have fun, and heck I'm all about 2nd and 3rd chances. Good job on all you Yelpy Yelpertons, way to stay true. Stay tuned for my updated review in the weeks to come. I'm rooting for Jake's. read more

This place is definitely hit or miss. We were there on a busy day and the food was mediocre to say the least. Eggs were not over easy as requested. Yokes were hard and edges brown. Sausage patties were rubbery. Poached eggs in eggs benedict were also overcooked-more like hard boiled. They were out of grits but did not let me know until they brought my breakfast.When I told the server I ordered grits she said she was sorry but they were out of them and gave me homefries. We will not be going back anytime soon. The prices they charge are way to high for the quality of food we had . read more

For some reason, Jakes has been our go to place every time we've a last minute celebration to do. It's really not bad as its open late and doesn't seem to be busy every time we've gone. Lots of tables inside and outside (if weather is permitting). If you're going to order chicken wings, they happen to taste like the Costco ones. Although they don't have Cajun flavour on the menu, you can ask for it. Other then that, the service is not bad. The food does take a while to come but when you go with a group it's not a big deal as you just end up sitting and talking anyways. read more

Jake's On Main - Not the most appetizing photo but showed my friends some leftover wings - Pubs Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

Crammed, slow service (what service?), dirty, and what did they serve me? This place used to be good, the last two times I was there it was disappointing. First of all the indoor seating was crammed. Once I got to my table it was dirty, crumbs everywhere; on the table, on the floor.... Service was bad, waited a long time for a waitress to come ask us about for drinks or food. By the time she came we were ready to order. I ordered the Calypso Mahi Mahi (which took more than 25min to get here), suppose to come with rice but it came with fries? Sauteed vegetable was definately not sauteed it was more on the raw side like a salad but the pieces they gave me were garbage quality; crumbs of broccoli and cauliflower florets. The overall portion was small. Getting the bill was also difficult, the waitress was at the back talking to another waiter. Even after asking for the bill it still took a while for it to come. They handed the machine to me asking me to insert the card but what was my total? I had to ask for the total.... seriously I don't know why I even tip them. Btw my other experience, if you sit in the patio on a warm summer night, once it gets dark, you might experience rats running around. read more

Jake's was a fun destination in the past. We would go to Main Street Unionville to walk around, and then look forward to a meal at Jake's. We have done this for the past 20+ years. The experience has never been as appalling as it was when we went last Saturday. When we walked in we could see leftover food from previous diners left out on patio tables. There were lots of staff standing around, and no one clearing the mess. (I am sure this was a health code violation. It was certainly a gross mess for customers to see). We were a party of 6 and it was a cool evening. They were unable (or unwilling) to give us a table need an outdoor heater, and would not allow us to move inside (even though others were seated there and there were tables available). Instead we were given a wobbly table on wobbly bar stool chairs at one end of the patio. Our sever was not helpful or very friendly. When we were finally able to get her attention we ordered drinks. It took a while for them to arrive, and once she brought them we were already cold and fed up. We threw down a few dollars for the pop (which was mostly ice) and walked out. I don't recall ever walking out of a restaurant before. We will not be returning. Jake's is just too run down, and the service was horrible. read more

A friend of mine recommended Jake's so I decided to give it a shot. It has a very nice patio space that would make this restaurant ideal during the warmer seasons. Inside was on the noisier side, which makes it a bit difficult to talk if you're a larger group. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries. While I wasn't ecstatic over my food, I also wasn't disappointed. The servings were fairly large but the taste was only mediocre. Although my sandwich was good, it felt very ordinary and "store bought". I expected something it to taste more unique/special for the price I was paying. The food was also too salty for my taste. Overall, the sandwich wasn't worth $14 - I've had better for cheaper. My friend had the Lobster Clam Fettuccine ($19) and this was really good. It had a very creamy, rich flavour without being overbearing. I highly recommend this dish - although it's one of the pricier menu items, it's probably one of the only items that are worth the price. Customer service was decent but nothing special - our server was friendly and performed all the basic roles but didn't go beyond expectations. Overall, I would recommend Jake's for the location and the patio seats, but not for the food. The food is mediocre at most and definitely not worth the price. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening to enjoy their large patio. Our party of 4 put our name down on the wait list at about 6:45pm and waited about 30 minutes before we got our table. I noticed their dining room was actually empty but we were never asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, so for those of you that don't care for the patio, inquire about sitting inside! Our server was great! She was very outgoing and talkative. Her timing was good and she was also able to give recommendations when we asked about the menu! Food was OKAY. Our party ordered wings, a burger, fajitas, fish tacos and a side of fries. The fajitas tasted good but when it came out, the pan wasn't sizzling! The burger was a good size and had good flavours. The fries were not fresh cut, but tasted decent! They had a couple of beer specials on a SATURDAY night, which was great. They had PBR and Red Racer Tallboys for $3.99. To end, great service, average food. read more

Very busy on the long weekend but they managed to squeeze us in. We just had a few light snacks but boy were they filling and good. Had the chilli fries and it was huge! That could have been a meal in itself! Staff was friendly and fast despite how busy it was. Everyone was outside and it was a beautiful day for it. read more

If you're from Markham, you might have went to Jakes or came across this place sometime in your lifetime. The summer patio is really nice, especially during the Jazz festival. There's a live band that plays right there and it's an awesome time to drink a beer while sitting outdoors. In the winter, there's not a lot of people who come, but it's a homey place for people to grab a drink, eat some pub food. Despite the wonderful space they offer, I'm not a big fan of the food at all here. I tried their honey garlic wings. These were a little dry (the wings themselves), the fries were also mediocre in my opinion. For a lb of wings, it's $14. I rather pay for St. Louis wings. They're sweet potato fries are alright, $8 and served with Chipotle. If it was for the food alone, I would probably rate this place 1.5 - 2 stars, but their environment (especially during the summers) are quite nice. read more

GO Literally ANYWHERE ELSE. First of all, for a restaurant to have an entire section dedicated to poutine..you think it would be good. Its not. Its shredded cheese, weak gravy with battered fries not made for poutine. Its also $12 so avoid it. The kids meal options suck. Nothing healthy, only comes with fries. The grilled cheese is full of butter. Just not good! The tex mex bowl, also very salty. Not good! Water comes in plastic cups, gross. Just don't go here. So many better options! The spinach dip is also disgusting, tastes like canned chicken soup with spinach. Its just so bad. read more

I wanna say this is the worst experience I had... the location is good. Not too close to the street so not too noisy and no worries that dust might go to your plate. The waitress looked friendly and smiled too. BUT 1. when my friend and me were at the entrance of the fence, there were still plates on our table. The reception lady cleaned our table with a dirty cloth nearby... She just moped away the food residues on the table. 2. We sit down. I wanted to go to the washroom. It,s downstairs. I did not find it as the sign was blocked by someone when I entered the house door. I asked a waitress, she told me it was downstairs, but did not show me where were the stairs to get downstairs... I even walked out of the house... Then I see a customer coming up from the stairs and found it. 3. The washroom was the disgusting part. There were a few used toilet paper on the floor. I went to the innermost one. After I did some cleaning and sat down, I felt something on my leg. Yes, I believe it was a bee! If it was not a bee, then some insect, some kind of disgusting creature in a washroom, near a toilet...... But I was afraid that it would bite... and there was no phone signal in the washroom as it was in the basement. I gently moved it away with some tissue. Then the bee crawled to the neighbor seat. 4. I was scared, went out and wanted to clean my hands, and leg... The liquid soap box was empty. Then I tried to at,least dry,my hands. There was a dry machine, but no tissue for drying hands. 5. The food did not take too long. We grabbed the fork sets on our own as the reception lady forgot and was busy. It was ok. We all ordered ribs and Buffalo chicken. I suggest do not take the Buffalo chicken. The fries tasted good. 6. We asked for the bill when a young male took our finished dishes away. Then we had been waiting for the bill for around 15 min. It did not feel good as the day got chilly fast at night. Then the lady came and we requested again. Then another 5 min until another lady put down the bill fast and a little unfriendly... We were going give her the card so that she could avoid a second trip. She just walked away too fast to talk. Then another 5 min to have the first lady to fetch the card machine, but we waited for around 10 min for her to grab the payment. We just tipped 10％ and left asap. Two of us got cold... Today is May 7. I hope they can improve after today. read more

Preface: usually I have a great time at Jake's... DURING THE DAY. The food is delicious and the service is decent. But.. Last night I came with friends to jakes to properly end patio season. The waitress at our table was slow to come and get our drinks and ended up making two of my friends get drinks despite them not wanting one. Apparently you can't just get a water but she had no problems doing it for me? Moving on, it was hard to catch our waitress throughout the night to order more food. (Weird, because it wasn't busy at all...) The food itself was decent when it came out so no complaints there. When we got the bill, we asked her to split it and she said "figure it out yourselves." Excuse me? We ended up splitting it FOR her on the back of the receipt. I was thoroughly disappointed by my experience in service at Jake's yesterday. Normally I'm a huge fan of this patio but I'd hesitate before going at night again. read more

Despite the horrible Yelp reviews, I came here for the first time on my friend's birthday. The 12 of us were seated upstairs by the pool table, and it took awhile before our waitress showed up. I wouldn't say that the service was too horrible. Our waitress was actually pretty friendly, however, the service was SO SLOW. There was at least a 15-minute gap from when she took our drink order to when she came back with the drinks to take our food order. When we ordered the food (around 8PM), we didn't see the waitress till 9PM. By the time everyone got their order, it was around 9:30PM.. The food was A-OK, surprisingly. The portions are enormous! 1. Steak & Mushroom Poutine - We asked for the steak to be done rare, and it came closer to medium rare. The chunks were tough to chew on, but overall not bad. 2. Fish & Chips - The fish was a bit dry with tons of batter! The fries were super crispy and piping hot! 3. Chicken Caesar Wrap - In the words of my boyfriend - "Too much lettuce, too little chicken and sauce" The kitchen may be understaffed, but the food was still decent. Prices weren't too pricey either, comparable to any other pubs/bars. Service wasn't awful, just extremely slow. I'll have to come back to test their consistency, and enjoy that nice patio when the weather gets warmer! read more

I ordered the grilled chicken breast which came with rice, Greek salad and garlic bread and it was simply delicious. The chicken was cooked on point, still juicy, and had that delicious charcoal taste. Not a big rice fan, I had one bite, it wasn't bad. We also ordered a steak and blue sandwich with a poutine, I have that a bite and it was cooked the way we asked, medium well. So it's approved for food! Ordered a Somersby on tap and it tasted like apple juice, that wasn't a good sign. I did end up changing it to bottled stuff. I really like their patio with the cute Christmas lights, although it's summer right now. I just wanted to add more pictures of the food, didn't seem to have much on here. Really, try the food. It's pretty good! read more

This place is considered a local landmark pub along beautiful Unionville Main St. Summertime! This is the place to be, whether it's for drinks, food, dinner or a date, Jake's has the ability to accomadate. The service was efficient, our server was sweet, knowledgeable and personable. My buddy and I decided to order a pitcher of Creemore beer along with their popular jumbo size of nachos. Usually Nachos tend to be my go-to thing when visiting a new pub/ restaurant. They say that you can TELL A LOT about a Restaurant by the way they keep their restrooms clean, same goes for NACHOS. The portion was gratifying, the amount of cheese, pickles, hot peppers, etc they put a lot of effort on both portion and presentation. The place is overal good! with a decent patio space to accomodate a lot of people, and is a popular hangout for locals. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights the crowd tends to be a lot younger in their early 20's and its a lot more louder lol... overall great place to chill and enjoy Unionville Main St. read more

We got here at 620. Been sitting here for 25 minutes, our server never introduced herself. Asked the waitress to get our server and we are still waiting. Literally 5 servers are standing around talking to each other. Had the "spicy" chicken breast with seafood. Chicken was way overcooked. It was honestly rubber, it made it salvageable because of the red sauce. Overall, pretty bad service, food was alright, Did I mention my utensils were dirty? Had to ask for another set. read more

Service was alright. We initially ordered two pitchers of Budweiser and got one immediately. After asking for the second pitcher from three different servers after 30 minutes of waiting, we were informed that they were changing the keg, which we should have been informed of from the beginning. We ended up ordering a different brand of beer and realized after finishing the whole pitcher that there was a whole rim of something that looked like black mold on the bottom. They removed the pitcher from the bill but we will not be revisiting again. Very disappointed of the service. read more

The location of Jake's patio is unbeatable on sunny summer day. It's a perfect spot to drink a beer and people watch. You will occasionally spot a wedding party or a group playing Pokemon Go wandering around. In the summer, there is plenty of food traffic on the street, so it keeps the scenery interesting. There are plenty of tables outside, so it's easy to get a seat. The food itself is not that impressive, typical pub food of ribs/wings/burger/fries. I had the steak and mushroom pub pie which was good and filling. The side of garden salad was simple, mixed greens with a couple chunks of tomatoes and cucumbers thrown on top. However, some of the greens were a little wilted and had to be sorted into a reject pile. The dressing was served on the side without me even asking, which I appreciated. In conclusion, great summer patio location with meh-level food. read more

Jake's is simply one of those pubs everyone under 25 who lives in Markham seems to know about. In fact, it's probably one of those pubs everyone under 25 who lives in Markham seems to have been to! So of course when I mention to my friends I've never been to Jake's, they were completely shocked. Herp derp, I don't go out to Main Street Unionville that often! Anyway...I only ordered a rum and coke here since I didn't want to be too drunk (my parents aren't those kind of people). Surprisingly I was only charged $4, even though I was told it was $6 (I gave a $10, double checked and I got three toonies in return). It tasted okay, I mean it's hard to screw up alcoholic drinks unless you simply can't taste alcohol at all. Service was meh. I had $10 out for a long time, but the bartender never came to take my order until my friend yelled at her because he wanted another drink, in which she finally realized I had the $10 out. Other than that I didn't have many problems with this place. read more

I've been here before and the food is amazing but the service... Not so good. My waiter came her once to check on us and that it. Never again. I've being trying to hunt my waiter down for over 20 mins and when she finally notices is she still at a different table. The atmosphere was great but not when u wanna go after u finish your meal and had enough of the music. It's no the point where I had a drink felt great and because of all the wait the feeling has left and left me with impatience for my bill. Maybe it's better for takeout then sit in. read more

Giving it a 3 star for the price. It is overpriced for the food. Don't get me wrong, service was amazing and the drink selection was good too. All I have to say is that they have kronenburg blanc on TAP!! Very rare to find a resto with this on tap and it makes me go wild! But if you're there order a pitcher or a pint of it if you can! Food- I ordered the lobster grilled cheese. It was pretty good. At the end of the day nothing too spectacular but kudos for the grilled cheese idea. My friend ordered the steak frites. Their gravy is amazing, rich and savory. Didn't let out with the yam fries which were pretty good as well. The steak, a bit thin, but good. I would recommend the steak frites. As for the grilled cheese, I would try something else on their large menu selection! Patio- best patio on main street unionville. Would definitely come back on a sunny day to grab a drink! Parking - right behind the resto. Might be packed sometimes, but there's parking in the curling arena most days. :) read more

This place is just not worth to come. Since the beginning, the hostess was super rude. This place looked very nice as it has a great patio under trees, but nothing more than that. The service is really slow, zero friendly host and waitress and the food is way below average and expensive for what you get. Never coming back. read more
