So, not a big reviewer so take it for what's it worth…read more We've been going to Zander's for quite a few years now, mostly for wing night, but not exclusively, last night for example. (But I still got wings ) Over the years it's been a bit of a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. At times, there's no place better in the city and at other times it's rather lack luster, just living on current reputation. Then at some point, the manager who seems to speak to everyone in the restaurant, but seems to not even recognize us, he realizes this and begins to turn things around. Currently we seem to be in a low spot, and here's why I think this. Mainly it's due to high turnover of staff. It seems there are new servers in week to week (probably not that frequently, but it seems that way). We remember seeing the same proficient servers week after week, now they're mostly all gone. The tall skinnier older guy (sorry I can't remember your name) is AMAZING and we hope for him every time. Sadly, we're left with the "new girl" and the service that comes with a new employee. It's an assumption that the staff just aren't treated well and that's why they leave, but could just be the restaurant industry. Lastly, food preparation has fallen below their norm. I ask for my hot Buffalo wings to be extra saucy and they NEVER are and the response I get is, the chicken wings absorbs too much of it. I ask for my wings extra saucy EVERYWHERE I go, no place else has a problem hitting the mark here. I also don't think whoever is cooking the food is tasting the food, these wings are NOT hot by any standards, I can say this because I eat a lot of chicken wings and a lot of hot wings are too spicy for me, these don't even reach medium temps. Nevertheless, the wings are tasty and I like them. Lastly, we often attend with a couple friends and one of them orders their wings extra crispy, when this happens, I too get my wings extra crispy, I don't particularly enjoy extra crispy wings :( Anyway, we're gonna stay away for a while I think and head over to Kelsey's, it's less convenient but has been far more consistent over time. Like I said, I'm not an expert here, so please make your own decisions, I just want the old Zander's back.

AND THEN DEMANDED EVEN MORE MONEY AFTER WE LEFT, while waiting for our cab. The ABSOLUTE MOST DISGUSTING DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR EVER.

We were pushed to eat more food than what we could actually eat. I ended up puking afterwards because I was forced so much food the absolute sheer audacity of this restaurant I don't see how it has a 4 ratings because it is not a good environment at all.

We were at The Keg to celebrate my birthday…read more First, the table we were seated at was not properly cleaned. The cocktail menu has what looked like a booger with a long hair stuck to it. Second a plate had a black particle stuck to it. Next, the table had some kind of flakey chaff scattered sparingly over it. Pointed these out to the server, Cole, and he dealt with them. It bothered me that he said that the black particle was just fluff. Fluff would blow away but this was solidly stuck on. Second, I ordered a 6 oz sirloin that also came with a lobster tail for $64 and an extra side of mushrooms. My 6 oz sirloin steak was tough but cooked and flavoured nicely. The garlic mashed potatoes was a gelatinous mass with barely any garlic flavour. When the bill came I was charged for a 6oz steak with an added side of lobster which when added up cost over a hundred dollars. When I asked the server about it he said there was nothing on the menu that was like what I thought I had ordered. I found this odd but deferred to the servers knowledge thinking he would not stiff a retiree. So I paid the exorbitant extra amount and started to leave, but it bothered me. So i stopped at the desk at the exit and asked for a menu. I found the exact thing I ordered on the menu just like I pointed out to the server when I first ordered. I asked the manager who was there and he fumbled some words which I couldn't hear. In disgust that they would commit a fraud on seniors like us, I left. As I went out the door I heard him finally speak up and say he was willing to "adjust". I yelled back that it was about the principle, not the $45 difference. I'm fortunate that I can recover from a $45 fraud. I could only image how many young couples or other seniors making a special night out of going out to the Keg would be negatively effected. Never again KEG. You've given this old techie consultant a new purpose. I will ask my network to upload my story about how fraudulent your company truly is. Good Day, Mr. Jaffray.

Was ok but a little too well done for me. Also came with a big potato croquette that again had lots of cheese in it (not to my taste) and the vegetables were overcooked. Mushy green beans are not the best. -- Service Friendly but the entrees took a long time to come even though there were only 2 tables there.

The building itself was built in the 1870's and has been a restaurant now for 42 years. It's got quite a bit of charm to it. We ordered their saganaki for an appetizer, and all I can say is "OPA!". It was great! I had not had saganaki in a long time, and that was delicious. Instead of a salad, I tried their soup of the day, which was a Greek soup. Very tasty also. For my entree, I tried their New York Striploin Steak Neptune (that's a mouthful!). 10 oz steak covered with shrimp, scallops, and hollandaise sauce. Sides were green beans and cooked potatoes and carrots. My steak was cooked perfectly, and it was quite good. The carrots and potatoes were also good. For dessert, I tried their cake of the day, which was a vanilla layer cake with a raspberry compote. The compote was delicious, but the cake itself was just a little dry. This place is a hidden gem! Our server was wonderful, and very patient with questions about the menu. The timing on food coming out was also spot on, even though they were very busy with several larger parties. Would absolutely go there again.

We came here on Monday evening and we were excited to eat! We were greeted by a friendly staff at the front desk, who directed us to go up the stairs, where there will be patio seating areas. From there, another staff member confirmed our reservation and directed us to a seat. Our waitress welcomed us and brought the menu, then she left to get some cold water for us. My partner picked half pound of chicken wings with fries, and I chose Three Sisters Bowl. Both of us enjoyed our meal, our orders came out hot and fresh. The only downside was the portion size- we both felt that it was small in comparison to the price. During our meal, our waitress came by to check-in on us to make sure that we were enjoying our meal and had everything that we needed. The views were beautiful as we have read! This place gets very busy, so we would recommend that you make a reservation in advance!

The salad was very small and was rather boring. Still felt hungry after having it but didn't want to order anything else. The Baked chicken parm was food sized but they used packaged shredded cheese was very disappointing but the chicken was good. Pasta was pretty boring also because it looked like a home cooked meal and not restaurant quality. It was an okay sizw meal though. Service was rather slow and the server was not exceptional. The restaurant was not very busy and we still had to wait about fifteen minutes until we were seated. Didn't feel very welcomed. The ambiance was pretty good especially the patio area though. Music wasn't loud or overbearing and there were a couple of tvs by the bar that didnt have any sound coming out. The bar looked good and there was not a designated bartender maybe because it was lunchtime. The restroom was clean and odorless which is a plus.
