A few weeks back, I was attending a Yelp event at Ghost Taco. The address of Ghost Taco in the…read moreinvitation and Yelp listing for the business pointed to Eventmrkt. I drove over here and parked at Newmarket Riverwalk Commons. It's the closest parking lot. It was busy, but I managed to nab a parking spot and walk over to this building. I didn't find Ghost Taco. The bottom level had Ground Burger Bar and the main entrance to Eventmrkt. I decided to walk up a couple of ramps to the second floor. It looked like office space and was locked. Although the sandwich board said that Eventmrkt was closed for a private eveent and there was no entry, I did the opposite. I was a tourist in this area with inaccurate information. I walked in. Eventmrkt is an event space. It looked like a wedding reception was about to happen. Two women were there. I started off apologizing. I said that I was looking for Ghost Taco and couldn't find it. One of the women who came over was extremely helpful and nice. She pointed at the bridge that you could easily see from this venue's window. She let me know that I could walk across the bridge and hang a right. The business is there. She also gave me some inside history. She said that Ghost Taco used to be where we were standing. However, the business found a new location on Main Street, so it's there now. I thanked her for steering me in the right direction and wished her a good evening. She reciprocated. So, I kind of crashed a wedding that hadn't started. I am glad that the woman was understanding about my dropping by when the sign clearly said that it was a private event. Yes, I made it to Ghost Taco. Unless I'm here for a private event in the future, I'll stay away from Eventmrkt. (197)

I end up in the wrong elevator and then it didn't go anywhere. And I was confused. Then I found the right one. If the elevator does not have an R, leave. I half expected to meet some sort of wizard who asks you three questions in order to get past the threshold. Anywho..Food and drinks: Fantastic. It took a long time to get our drinks and we got the apps first but the drinks were totally worth the wait. The bartender apparently created this pear cocktail. I forget what it's called but it has pear in it. My my. Well done, sir. Soo well balanced. Absolutely perfect cocktail. Oysters: 4/5 Good but I like mine bigger and meatier. Burrata: 4.5/5 So good. I just think the crostini could have been just a little softer. It was hardd. Maybe a mix of soft and hard breads. Risotto: 20/5 Holy cheese. No meat and it doesn't need it. It felt so dirty because of all the cheese but hey the veggies are in there. Cheesy goodness. It's perfect. Don't ever change. Service was great and very helpful. Well done Overlea. I will be back and I will try hard to order something different but that risotto...Ahh.

Went for their 6-course Tasting Menu with a reservation…read more Initially, I was conflicted as to whether I was enjoying my experience or not because the pacing was so slow! It took 1.5hrs for just 2 courses to come out, with none of them being "cooked" dishes. We also looked around and saw that there were only 5 other tables of patrons. But after the 3rd course, our server apologized that we had to wait so long and let us know that there was a large party in their private room that she was also serving so she was very busy. After that, our other courses (mains) came out at a very good pace, although we had to ask to pack them since it was getting pretty late. The chef even gave us a regular menu portion of one of them since he felt bad for the delay. All the dishes were very tasty! The meal ended off great with the duck and a not-too-sweet dessert. Overall the service ended up being great and attentive, with recommendations of other really good dishes off their regular menu and specials on other nights. Good casual spot for a variety of occasions with friends, for a date night, or celebration.

The owner Johnny talks so much talk and promises you basically the world and doesn't deliver. My wedding day I now look as the worst day of my life thanks to this place and owner. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN LOOK ELSEWHERE!! They tell you they will do anything but it's lies 3 days before the event I got a call saying they can't do a kids menu, after tons was promised and said could do anything, I had to give 12 children, mostly ages 5-1 plated course meals which not one touched. They promised 10-13 servers to be available that night we had 4 only cause the bartender had to help, which took over 2 hrs to do dinner that all my guests complained their food was cold when they got it and didn't touch it. The service was so slow they were behind in everything My guests never got to try my wedding cake which I still have frozen taking up all the space in my freezer, not to mention almost missed my dance with my father aswell cause it ran so late. They told us we would more the likely get refund for unconsumed alcohol, so we contacted him regarding a refund and complained he the owner Johnny requested a meeting to discuss this. When we tried to have a meeting with the owner Johnny he postponed it 3 times and finally when we said enough was enough and had the meeting he basically didn't believe anything, called us liars and then screamed at me and my mother in law. We walked out. Very unprofessional. TO SUM IT UP YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Review of this place for a wedding I attended as a guest. Really nice outdoor ceremony, they have a…read moregrassy area with a hut/gazebo. With the right lighting during the summer the pictures will be amazing. They have white plastic chairs.... They have an outdoor wooden structure half tent half "barn" but not Really a barn, for the dinner reception. It is open to the outside so no air conditioning and bugs if you are lucky. String lights hung on the ceiling. Long head table on a stage and a bar. This place can have a really rugged feel if that's the theme for your wedding. Washrooms are inside the golf club right beside the tent and are nice and clean so no worries about a barn washroom. Chairs and linens are worn. But the reception seemed to run smoothly with the help of the staff there. Staff were all nice, courteous and helpful. Food very typical wedding food. Chicken was a bit dry... Of course. Overall I enjoyed my time but I'm not an outdoors person and I didn't enjoy the bugs at night. The parking lot is a little walk down the slope. When we arrived they have staff driving golf carts taking people up the slope but when we left there was no such service. It's a bit out in the countryside so it gets really dark at night. You can see stars!

Congratulations to Lory and Brian! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and prosperity!…read more I had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Royal Venetian Mansion in Aurora. It was a beautiful and very spacious venue that also hosted the ceremony on their rooftop patio. Following the ceremony, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were provided by the venue, along with desserts, and late night stations with a whole suckling pig, sliders, fries, and poutine. Everything was delicious! The banquet hall was huge and spacious, with intimate lighting, and an enormous dance floor. The table décor was very classy and beautiful. The house sound system, however, left a lot to be desired. The tonal balance and echoes made the speeches sound muddled. The sound quality improved later on when DJ Jonathan Shaw, aka Juiceman, kept the dance floor packed for the rest of the evening. The main dinner, a ten course Chinese banquet meal, was provided by Grand Catering. As usual, this type of banquet included Roasted Suckling Pig and Jellyfish, Crab Claws, Seafood and Broccoli, Seafood and Fish Maw Soup, Mushrooms with Chinese Greens, Steamed Fish, Fried Chicken with Fried Rice, Noodles, and Lobster. Special dishes were provided for guests with allergies. This was a very good meal with excellent service!

I have very mixed feelings about my experience here for my brother's wedding…read more The venue itself is magnificent. Let's get that out of the way. If this was a review on just the venue, I would give it 5 stars. Absolutely gorgeous interior, from the reception rooms to the washrooms to the upper level to the outside shrubbery. The food is where I think the place could use major improvement. Let's start off with cocktail hour. Some of the hors d'oeuvres did not come out hot but rather cold which was slightly disappointing. The arancini was fantastic and the chicken satay skewers were juicy. I feel like the servers could've come out more frequently with trays of food. It did seem like a lot of ppl had to scout and hunt down servers for food during cocktail hour. Drinks-wise, the bartender was great. Funny banter, smile on his face and super talented at making drinks. Moving on to dinner, here's where the crux of my feelings lie. My bro has basically let it slide and he's not one to say anything after the fact, but he hates cucumber and when he was choosing a salad for his wedding he had chosen the non-cucumber salad. Imagine his surprise when, for his reception, the venue messed up and prepared cucumber salad for him and all the guests. I told him to speak to a manager but he was apathetic and refused to do it so I will speak up on behalf of him. No partial refund or apology was ever offered to him. They just took his money and let it fly. The pasta dish was the best dish of the night. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was nice and rich. The main course was frankly a disaster. Everything was way overcooked. The chicken breast was extremely dry and sandpaper-like. The salmon had zero moisture in it and the loaded baked potato wasn't very loaded with cheese, bacon or chives (it looked like they had scooped out the potato and just mashed it up further and then rescooped it back into the potato skin). This was quite possibly the worst main course entrée I've ever consumed at a wedding. Dessert was mango sorbet and it was quite nice. The mango flavour was very strong. There was also a waffle bar at the end of the night which was the highlight for me. Fresh waffles with ice cream. Who knew the dessert would be the best? I think if this venue tightens up their food offering they would be excellent, however, as it stands, the food was a letdown in my opinion, salvaged only by the fresh waffles at the end of the night. One bonus that I do think deserves mentioning is that there is very good ventilation running through the mansion. I never felt like I was going to be consumed by heatstroke or sweat.
