    We went here after the 2024 Shamrockin' in Ghent. The service was great, I will start by saying that. The food was "okay." I ordered the nachos (see pic- not anything great at all... literally the most MEH nachos I've ever had) and a pretzel with cheese (yummy!). The pretzel was borderline room temp, so that wasn't the best- it had either been sitting for a while or wasn't heated up enough. My friends drank, but were charged top shelf for everything, including shots. I hate when places do this- I always appreciate the asking of what. Who automatically gives top shelf? Boo. I'll be back, but I'll be hesitant in what I order, both food & drinks. Also, it always seems to be a sausage fest in there, so if that's your cup of tea, drink up! :)

    The food was good. We had an order of fish and chips, popcorn shrimp and tuna bites. Fish and chips was a big portion size. Our server was nice. We were visiting from out of town and prices were reasonable. There is an outdoor patio to eat along with indoor seating. There is a pool table inside and great music was playing. We went around 7pm and there was plenty of parking.

    A dollar off if you bring a church bulletin. Interesting.

    Pretty nice LGBTQ+ local bar. Mj's seems like a cool place where locals hang out to get their night going. The vibe of the bar is pretty welcoming, and probably is a nice place to meet new people if you are new to the area. While folks seem to already know each other, I did feel too much of a cliquey vibe. Overall, our service was pretty good because Courtney, our waitress, constantly checked in on us. This was great because I was in great need of multiple gin-based cocktails. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Tried the take out on steak Thursday. The steak was cooked as ordered, "medium rare on the rare side" well seasoned and tender. The included baked potato was also prepared well. Jamie is always friendly and professional. Other encounters with other staff have been amicable. It's a tavern. It is all inclusive. The food is good with reasonably prices. Dogs are allowed and fawned upon. The music is not overwhelming but I have never been there during the evening.

    MJ's is THE place to be if you're part of the LGBTQ community. They have all kinds of events that support the community, and it's kind of a home away from home for many of us. They have a rotating series of events happening nightly -- karaoke nights, drag bingo, trivia nights, etc. -- so there's a little of something for everyone. There's a main dining area that includes the bar and pool tables, a covered patio that is great if the weather is nice, and a back-back of the house room that is where a lot of the really fun stuff happens. :) As others have mentioned - lots of parking, which is nice for a Granby Street location. Drinks aren't super pricey, and there's a whole menu of pub/bar food. As far as my food experiences go, I'd put them at a solid 3. It's bar food - so you get what you get. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong things, but I haven't been super impressed on that front. Overall, this is a great place to grab a drink with a few friends and hang out in a very chill atmosphere.

    Just went for lunch. Ordered a hamburger and brisket sandwich. Both had no taste. The Cole slaw and sweet potato fries were good.

    I had dinner recently (2/7/24) with friends in order to check out Green Onion's ayce mussels night…read more Although The Green Onion has had better days, I enjoyed my experience at one of Ghent's longest-tenured businesses. We came across TGO's Wednesday ayce mussels deal via social media (maybe Instagram), and since we're always looking for excuses to dine together, we opted to check it out. I always look forward to hanging out with my Yelp peeps, so I was excited for this event. Upon entering, I noticed TGO changed up their interior. It's not as bright as it used to be, it's more minimal, and as you're walking past the bar to the dining room, there is a foul smell that permeates for a 3-5 foot stretch. I was immediately turned off after that, but luckily it's confined to just that area. Toni E. helped us - she was a sweetheart and was eager to answer our questions. She informed us up front of items that were sold out of (which turned out to be an unusually high amount), but all of us ordered the mussels. In addition, we drank a little, just because we could (ha!). After trying it out, I can tell you that ayce mussels isn't as cool as it sounds. They serve it in a bowl and you keep ordering until you're full. Ayce mussels would be great if there were different preparation choices, but that's not the case. But for $20, this is a decent route to go if you're hungry. Another plus is that the mussels were pretty good. So overall, I wasn't disappointed because I got exactly what was advertised and Toni was great. I hope to return and order something outside of mussels, and something needs to be done about that odor. Regardless, this was a decent night out. Thank you, Green Onion! JV

Whether it's with friends or just the two of us, we've never been disappointed. Let's see how this visit went. We were immediately seated once we walked inside. It wasn't completely packed for a Saturday afternoon but staff was really busy with customers. The vibe was one that made us comfortable for the most part. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we were ready to order. My selection was the Tavern Monte Cristo which consisted of chargrilled chicken and ham as the protein with Gouda cheese and cider aioli fried in a tempura batter with tavern fries. The meal was served hot and ready and tasted great. And having the cranberry coulis as a dipping sauce really added some taste. My only gripe with the sandwich was the amount of protein. I'm not sure if I ate most of it when we dined in, but when I ate the rest for dinner, it was more breading than anything else. Still good but they could've included more. Nonetheless, I was full. Good stuff as always from Park Lane Tavern :)
