This review is for the restaurant, as I do not own a boat. :)…read more I've been to the restaurant quite a few times now as my aunt is a member and the food is great. You probably wouldn't expect much but I was pleasantly surprised. The eating area is quite large and has windows that look out onto the lake and docks, great views all around. The menu isn't large, but it does have a little bit of everything. I've tried the fish & chips which were excellent as well as the chicken fingers with sweet potato fries - also fantastic. The fingers & fries were listed as an appetizer but I was stuffed afterwards, its definitely a meal! Being half-Italian, I know my pizza...(probably has more to do with the fact that I love food than being half-Italian, but I digress) and this pizza is delicious. SO MUCH CHEESE. Ooey gooey good. They also have complimentary (!) coffee and tea. Complimentary anything is always a bonus in my book! Shocking fact - prices are downright cheap. I assumed with it being a club and all that the prices might be a little on the high side, but I was wrong. Another bonus!

I can't add any…read moreperspective from a cost or payment standpoint since I was not the organizer, although I imagine this place is not by any means cheap. But that all said, this place impressed me so much I felt it was warranted to provide a review. The Palais Royale has an interesting backstory, going back to the 1930's when it was a concert venue. From those days of Duke Ellington's big band sound, into the 90's and 2000's when this place hosted bands including Blur, Blue Rodeo, and even the Rolling Stones. Admittedly the last time I stepped foot in the place was in the late 90's for a rave. And let me assure you they renovated the heck out of it, and now offers a clean and polished venue for weddings and corporate events. Upon arrival, the couple were having their wedding ceremony on the back patio, which overlooks the lake, with a marina to the east and a beachfront to the west, and a skyline decending down the waterfront. Very picture-esque, and a great backdrop for pictures. They had a large tent to make sure that even if it rained, all would remain as scheduled. After the ceremony they held a cocktail hour outside before ushering everyone inside for the reception. The food was top form. Delicious and well presented. The servers and bartenders were friendly, professional, and attentive. Dancefloor is a good size with good sound and lights, so after the speeches were made everyone was given an opportunity to cut a rug with good results (okay, this part may have had more to do with the crowd in attendance than the venue, but still, a decent dancefloor environment was provided). Honestly, this was the best wedding I've ever been to, and the venue had a lot to do with it. For anyone looking for a review from an average attendee, let this be your stamp of approval that this venue will impress those attending your future events.

My wife and I got married at the Henley Room last year and it was fantastic! Not only are their…read moreprices really great, Logan and his team made the whole event run so smoothly we didn't really have to do much ourselves. Best of all they are located right on the water!! All of the guests commented on how nice it was to have a waterfront wedding venue within the city as it felt like you were up north at a cottage without the drive (and Uber friendly). There were no lines at the bar as I've experienced at some weddings, coordination of vendors was all taken care of and they even were accommodating with our all our drink choices and made some custom cocktails for us. Highly recommend at least giving them a look and if you can get in you won't regret it!

pavilion is a bit of a weird word...more like a park, or playground, or just a nice place to relax…read more when the lake doesn't smell terrible its a great place to come and mellow out, watch people work out, or watch the traffic slowly crawl by. bring some food and a blanket and just watch the day waste away, in the summer time a couple of snack shops are open, ice cream and pizza pizza, if im not mistaken. the beach is a great place to catch a tan, or trees if you want to catch some shade, I would NOT recommend swimming in the lake under any circumstance. lots of parking but you have to pay for it, transit options is the 501 streetcar with a bit of walking, and lots of room even in the busiest of months. the bathrooms are sometimes in a poor state, and sometimes not open. a great place to spend the day at, ultimate relaxation. sunrise's and sunset's are absolutely gorgeous here, bring a camera to catch the views and colors.

Of course this organization was responsible for the fantastic party that I attended that night, but the host who was part of the Withrow Common Art Gallery was honoured by being invited to make a little speech explaining her devotion to this event and all that it stood for. She seemed genuinely appreciative of her guests event and the art that adorned the walls and accompanied the music happening that night. She was even up dancing to the awesome @djnatural.wav later in the night. Great spot to check out if you're at the exhibition grounds!
