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.

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.

SCALLOPS AND PORK BELLY with miso-peanut sauce, chili crisp, cilantro and lime ~4/5. Good, the best dish of the night by far. Proteins were cooked well, and the dish was seasoned nicely. Nice texture and balance with the peanut sauce and chili crisp. BONE MARROW AND STEAK TARTARE housemade accompaniments and grilled bread - loaded $5 ~2/5. Bread was a bit stale, tartare did not taste fresh, and I did not like the marrow preparation. Ate less than half. SEAFOOD LINGUINI shrimp, scallops, mussles and lobster in a corn and n'duja cream sauce (pescatarian optional) ~2/5. Similar to the marrow and tartare, food did not taste fresh. Ate less than half. Service was fine, although a bit surprising I wasn't asked how the food was given I didn't even half of 2 of 3 dishes.

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.

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!
