Good service otherwise. We ordered the cherry cocktails that came with a candy instead of cherries. It needed cherries but it's cute to relive childhood days with a cocktail. The candy part, not the alcohol. The mushroom pate is phenomenal. It comes with a ton of it but only 2 of pieces of bread. Just needs more bread. Once again, that bread. Yum. The dates were sooo good and the flavours worked perfectly. I think we honestly nailed it with our choices if I do say so myself. Just a reminder, don't get the crudo. And get the bread!!

Location: Main Street Newmarket Parking: there's a tonne of parking (free) in the area. The best part is, if you park in the lot behind the pub you can go in through the backdoor. Inside: There are booths and tables. There are two long tables i. The middle with raised seats. You can also sit in the windows and people watch. This is the type of place that looks like it has not been updated in our lifetime. They put their money into keeping the food and drink tasty. Im cool with that. Staff: Everyone I've ever has serve us has been so nice. Food: I think the food is terrific period the last time I went. I had the grilled cheese with chicken. It was delicious and I am so glad that I got it. But everything here is delicious for everything I've ever gotten. And I think i've eaten a lot of things from the menu.it's not a pretty place to hang out. But for foodies, it's a good food place

This allows you to experiment and discover new favourites without committing to a full bottle. You may not like everything you try, but it's always INTERESTING. The selection of wines at Wine on Main is always rotating and expertly curated, offering a range of styles and regions that wonderfully move you out of your comfort zone. The owners, a knowledgeable and curious couple, are passionate about exploring different wines and sharing their discoveries with their guests. Their passion is contagious and you can't help but be swept up in their excitement. The best shop of it's kind in York Region.

The promise of succulent lobster and shrimp always gets me. But I like it when promises are kept. For $17, I received a hamburger sized bun with a smattering of fishy mix. It instantly reminded me of a bad experience of McDonald's when McLobster was introduced--at $8 for a nearly identical experience. Remember when Quiznos had the Lobster and Shrimp sub for $12? I got nearly double the seafood on that puppy. That was big value at the time. The best part was--what for it: the Bun! Fionn uses an Ace bakery bun that was incredible for the whole 4 minutes it took me to finish. I left hungry. That's the real letdown for me!

I'm relocating to the GTA from Old…read moreMontreal and my first order of business (after finding temp housing) was to locate a cool brewery that I can take my Golden Retrievers to. Check and double-check, mission accomplished. This is a brewery so let's start with the beer. I've been here 5 or 6 times now and have tried many of the beers on tap. They are all very good to down-right excellent with a large variety that's sure to please any beer lover. My personal favourite to date has been the Pinot Noir IPA which is super smooth with an interesting wine finish. Great stuff here! The ambiance is great, the brewery is in the old fire house and is decorated emphasizing the history of the space. One of the bartenders is even a real firefighter, how cool is that? On many Saturday afternoons they have live music which adds a great vibe. A duo called JJ & Alyssa are playing right now and the live music experience is fantastic! Oh, they have a couple of leather sofas that my older Golden Nessie is going to LOVE. I might buy a house in the neighborhood just to be walking distance to this brewery, high praise indeed. Stop in and check it out, you won't be disappointed.

When we first stepped inside it felt like we had travelled back in time a few decades. Not that this is always a bad thing. It wasn't what you'd call run down. But it just looked somewhat dated, and the initial smell was that of a smoke soaked bar from the 80's. Whatever the case though; we took our seats and gave it a shot. I should also mention that what prompted us to try Big Daddy's out was a Groupon. And it seemed like an amazing deal. A regular order of wings, two entrees (there was a choice of about 10; something for everyone), and two beers, for $30. By menu prices (which were about average), the lot would have cost a touch over $60. Anyway: to the food. The wings were a 100% fail in almost every way. They were tiny, the sauce was difficult to even taste, and this was most likely the case because they were well over cooked. They seemed oven baked, and so they could have been out of the oven quite a few minutes before they were. The only saving grace was the fries - although they were just frozen fries that I can assume anyone can deep fry. Next was the chicken Parmesan. After the disappointing wings, I was surprised to learn that this dish was very good. The pasta was cooked well, the chicken was tender and juicy, and even the garlic bread was perfect. This I would go back for. Then there was the Greek Chicken Souvlaki dinner. And we're back to a miss again. The salad was okay (better once the forgotten salad dressing was delivered), and again the potato offering was well cooked (again, seemed like another type of frozen wedges deep fried), the rice was a mix of overcooked mush mixed with crunchy bits, and the chicken; yup, you guessed it, quite overcooked, just like the wings. I would have been embarrassed to serve this if I were them. The beer was good and okay. Good that there were many selections on tap, okay that although I got a beer i really liked, it wasn't as cold as I would expect to get a beer in a bar. Service was competent. The name of the only one waiting tables that time of day was Alex, and she certainly kept herself busy with the few tables she was taking care of. We did wait for about 10 minutes after finishing our meals to get the bill, and we were a little taken aback with the reminder that we were supposed to tip on what the bill would have been, not just on what we had accrued outside the Groupon. I'm sure she'd been burned before to have it come to this, but either way it felt uncomfortable, especially combined with her complaints of past poor treatment and a poor review of her waitressing skills from a recent customer. The place does seem interesting though: a bit of a throwback, but in a good way. Live music was setting up as we ate, there were pool tables off to the side, and they advertised a number of shows and other activities coming up. I think it'll be worth a second look; but next time we'll be very careful what we order
