My boyfriend and I decided to have a drink and share the quesadilla - the waitress had the kitchen split it onto two plates so we didn't have to be sharing one plate across the table which was nice. The lights on the patio made for a nice ambiance. The food is very good and I'll be eager to come back again and try more of their menu!

We stopped by here before going to an event and had a good experience…read more We ordered the Steak Frites (no parm) and the Prawn Aglio Olio. The STEAK & PARM FRITES was really good. The steak was tender like a brisket and it came in a Demi-glacé that was really good. It was nice that they could make this dish gluten and dairy free. The steak fell past the way brisket meat separates. The PRAWN AGLIO E OLIO was very good as well. My husband really enjoyed this pasta dish and it was served with 5 prawns. Would we Return? Sure, if we're in the area.

My party of four visited during Taste of Oakville, and in hindsight, the evening foreshadowed…read moreitself early -- the restaurant's website was down with a 404 error, and we kept finding two different addresses (one apparently their old location). We eventually found it. Upon arrival, the door swung open and struck a seated guest -- a sign of just how small the space is. The restaurant was full except for one four-top (clearly ours), and we stood awkwardly in the entrance -- which is essentially inside the dining room -- waiting to be acknowledged. When greeted, we were asked if we had a reservation. We said yes. "Table for eight?" we were asked, which felt impossible given the size of the room. We clarified four, and were pointed to the only open table. No name was requested; we realistically could have just walked in and taken it. The space is starkly lit with aggressive bright white lighting that feels more clinical than cozy. The artwork is interesting and gives a gallery-like feel -- it seems the restaurant is aiming for a downtown Toronto wine bar aesthetic, but it doesn't quite land. Our table was missing water glasses, and the stemware was mismatched -- not in an intentional, charming way, but more in a "we ran out" way. Once seated, we weren't acknowledged or offered water for nearly 20 minutes. Not rushing guests is one thing; leaving them feeling forgotten is another. When our server finally arrived, the service set the tone for the evening. One glass of water was poured before he realized another was missing. He disappeared, returned with a glass, inspected it mid-pour, then walked away again (dirty glass). After several more trips and long gaps, everyone eventually received water -- about 15 minutes later. He was polite and friendly, just clearly untrained. He shared that the owner is also the sommelier, cook, and server, and that he liked working there because he wasn't expected to know much about wine -- an interesting admission for a wine bar. The owner greeted us warmly but asked only one guest about wine preferences -- ironically the only non-wine drinker at the table. The concept appeared to be sommelier-led, though this was never explained. If that is the intention, engaging the entire table is essential. That said, the wines themselves were enjoyable; the service surrounding them was not. The Taste of Oakville menu promised three curated 3-oz pours paired with a charcuterie board for two. The pours arrived unevenly and slowly, with little explanation of the pairings. The charcuterie boards were plain and inconsistent between tables despite containing similar items -- basic fruit, crostini, simple cured meats, small portions of brie, and two slices of truffle cheese. No crackers, spreads, or thoughtful touches elevated the experience, and presentation varied noticeably. Our second wine pour didn't arrive until our mains, and service moved so slowly we requested a wine list to order a bottle. We were told there is no wine list -- "we're not that kind of restaurant." Instead, all reds are $80 and all whites $70, and the owner selects the bottle for you after asking only red or white. The concept might work if explained upfront; without context, it was confusing. At one point, noticing my empty glass, our server poured me a random red -- which turned out to be the same wine as our first pour -- and then left without serving anyone else. We had to remind staff we were still waiting for our second curated pour. Nothing about the experience felt curated. The most surprising moment of the night came when our mains arrived. As we lifted our appetizer plates -- still holding olive pits, fruit rinds, and crumbs -- the servers told us not to worry about clearing them and proceeded to place our main dishes directly on top of the used plates. I'm still shocked. I wouldn't do that at home, let alone expect it at a Lakeshore, or quite frankly, any restaurant. Two of us ordered the tagliatelle, which was tasty but contained only two small pieces of short rib -- and was difficult to enjoy while staring at discarded rinds beneath the plate. The other two ordered brisket sliders: two sliders, no sides. They tasted good but left diners hungry. One guest joked they kept thinking the fruit rinds were fries -- unfortunately accurate. We tried to make the best of the evening, but it never delivered the cozy wine-and-charcuterie experience we had anticipated -- dim lighting, thoughtful pairings, something special. After finishing our meal, we requested our bills and reminded staff we were still waiting for the third curated pour. We were told "five minutes." Those five minutes never came. Eventually, wanting simply to leave, we paid a single combined bill and sorted it out ourselves. Dinner for four totaled $460. This was not the boutique Lakeshore dining experience we expected, and ultimately, it was deeply disappointing.

I see this place when driving on Trafalgar advertising best wings in town. This is why I came in…read morefor the wings! The place itself is divided into three distinct seating areas. The first area are high tables, the second area has roots and the third area has tables and is closed to the pool area. The place is really clean and looks new. Our server was friendly, albeit quite busy so she dropped drinks just by walking past, and we almost thought that she was not friendly but later on she did come and explain the wings flavour and realize that she was just busy. For the wings I would say that they aren't really huge rather. Are they more of a medium size what's good is that it seems like chicken wings it's heavily coated and the bones do not break up touch one thing about the wings here is that you can order one flavour for five wings, this will definitely make me come back. I really like the garlic Parmesan, the honey hot and the Monahans messy. They are coed with this sauce and I like it that way except for the honey hot one the reason I put one star is because the wings were on the dry side I hope they fix this. I did go during the wing night which is on Monday and I believe that their wings. $1.10 per wing. I think that they have these where there's actual entertainment. I saw a karaoke poster overall I will definitely go back. I enjoyed that it was clean. It was big there's some form of entertainment such as a pool table and the several flavours of wings.

Protect Yourself -- Always Request a Receipt... If you're…read morevisiting Dirty Martini in Oakville, always ask the cashier for a receipt when you pay the entrance fee--even if it's non-refundable. The cashier may take your payment without giving you a receipt--just like in my case. Anything can happen in a club--plans change, mistakes happen, and misunderstandings can arise. Your receipt is your only official proof that you paid. It's what protects you if something goes wrong. Don't hesitate to ask--it's not just your right, it's smart.

We ordered a banquet burger with fries and I asked for the shepherds pie which wasn't available sadly so I opted for bangers and mash.

The beans were not good either. I like this pub and it obviously has a great clientele. It's unfortunate that the kitchen didn't come up to scratch for me, perhaps due to it being quiz night? A popular bar with a true local pub ambiance. Shame about the sausages.

I was surprised to see how this restaurant looked; it was an actual firehall, looking quite authentic when turned into a restaurant. The servers even have firefighter uniforms on, which was something I hadn't seen before. After being seated in a booth, we had settled on the fried calamari to start, following by a cheeseburger with fries for myself, while my friend settled on the sweet potato fries and the buffalo chicken wrap. The fried calamari came within ten minutes of us having ordered. They were quite delicious, with two different kinds of dipping sauces, which went perfectly with the calamari. Next, our main meals arrived. The cheeseburger was very well-prepared, tasting juicy and appetizing. I loved the toppings, especially the in-house garlic sauce, which was a nice addition to the burger. The fries were also nice, as they were crispy, and large enough to fill me up. We then finished our meal with a delicious slice of cinnabon cheesecake, which was amazing! Service was awesome as well, as our server (with the Australian accent), came to check on us often, making sure that we were enjoying our meal. Overall, this place definitely surprised me, as I had an excellent experience in an old firehall, which I didn't expect at all. Would highly recommend this place for a delicious meal in an authentic setting.
