This is old school cooking at its best. I was at a wedding reception (they are popular for catered…read moreevents) and did not know what to expect. Hogan's Inn? Sounds like a pub or a cheap hotel. But this place has a ton of heritage. The apps included an Antipasto platter, fried Calamari and Shrimp, Caesar Salad and Bruschetta. All were excellent. But I was really surprised by the main course, a Beef Bourguignon with creamy polenta, seasonal veggies, pickled onion, and a mushroom and sour cream sauce. I would call this "Beef Pudding" since the beef was so incredibly tender. Wrapped up with a bunch of assorted cakes, this was a memorable meal. I will be coming back to try the normal restaurant fare, and get a bit of variety, but I am craving the Bourguignon already!

I recently dined here and was able to sit on the roof top patio and it was beautiful. The food was…read moreamazing! The Chilean sea bass was my favourite dish. It was cooked perfectly and was a generous size of fish. I love the gnocchi it was served over and the sauces complimented the fish extremely well. The rack of lamb I did not eat (not a fan) but was told it was amazing, cooked perfectly. The escargot had so much flavour and they loaded the plate with lots of escargot, great portion. The service was great as well!

I'd gone to a Chef Upstairs event a few years ago, and always kept them in mind as it was a great…read moreexperience. They offer various services and events, and I recalled as well that they also do kids camps. Over the past couple years, my daughter has taken a big interest in cooking. And not just a fleeting interest, but consistently enjoys watching cooking shows and wanting to participate in cooking at home. As we were planning summer camps this year, I thought we should try to finally give her a chance to live her dream a bit and attend a week here. She's gone to a city-run one before. Though she quite enjoyed it, it was fairly simple. At The Chef Upstairs, they are in a full commercial kitchen with gas stoves, deep fryers and a whole bunch of other things you'd expect from a real kitchen. They have a firm belief that kids can learn safely - in fact, the safest thing is to expose them and provide proper technique. And they're not just making things like a deli meat roll up wrap, but full-on multi-course meals (they make breakfast and lunch) and from recipes from all around the world. You should look at the menus they post on their site for the kids camps. It was a bit of a sacrifice for us as we do not live nearby. That said, they have two locations, so a number of people are well-situated if near Vaughan and midtown Toronto. It's also a bit more money than many other kids camps - though its apparent with the food costs and the high staffing ratio that it's still good value. Ultimately, it was well worth it. My daughter loved it and truly lived out a dream and learned a lot. The highlight for her was the week long prep leading up to the Iron Chef-esque competition where they planned their own full menu. I'm thrilled that The Chef Upstairs lived up and even exceeded our already high expectations and truly made a lifetime memory for our daughter.

I was not aware there was this type of takeout available where you bring in your own containers to…read moreget your food in. It's a great idea since this cuts down on a lot of waste with the one time use styrofoam or plastic non-recyclable containers. You can asked to be placed on their email distribution list and they'll send you a list of what dishes they'll be making in certain days. You call ahead to place your order and are given a number. When you get there you tell them your number and provide them with your containers for the food. It seems as though a lot of people leave their containers and bags there and gone back to pick up their food later. There were 2 shelves filled with environmental bags. The food is tasty and not too salty or greasy unlike a lot of other takeout places.

This review is for frozen dim sum only…read more Overall - 4 stars. I had craved dim sum for a while now but had been reluctant to dine out nor bother to drive all the way to get takeout weekly, so I opted to buy a batch of frozen dim sum from this vendor last weekend. I heard of this vendor via referral of a friend. The frozen dim sum I chose were all of the "steam" nature, as I believed they would be easier to prepare. I called the vendor. Jennifer sent a text message with a link to an online form to me, along with pictures of the menu. The actual ordering was straight forward, just selected a picture and the quantity. The total cost was displayed at end of ordering. The prices were inclusive of sales tax, so there was no surprise or mental mathematics required. Jennifer replied by email soon after acknowledging the order and the pickup time. When I arrived at store, I rang a bell and waited at the entrance lobby as part of the Covid 19 protocol. A lady asked for my name and order. Jennifer counted the quantity in person with me to confirm everything ordered was in the bag. Money changed hands and the transaction was completed smoothly and professionally. 5 stars for process. I steamed the dim sum. I estimated that the quality and size were on par with the "flat price" dim sum at restaurants, and definitely better quality than the frozen ones from grocery stores. The Chai Siu Bao and Chiu Chow Dumplings were particularly delicious. The regular Shrimp Dumplings were fresh but small (there is a jumbo size Shrimp Dumpling available for ordering should you desire). The Siu Mai were smaller than expected. 3 stars for food. The pricing of everything I chose was way cheaper than restaurants, so the value was justified. 4 stars for value.

Oo pretty! Rooftop…read moreview. I like! Overlea at Postmark Hotel has classy, very gorgeous decor. Getting here is a little like Narnia. 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.

It is one of the fanciest places I've ever been, and it was so worth the experience! We were treated with the upmost respect, and we were treated with lovely piano playing all night. It really set a calm atmosphere. I ordered the prime rib (medium rare), and it was SO tender and juicy! It cut so easily, and it was complimented perfectly with the mashed potatoes, which I normally do not care for. Finished off the meal with chocolate cake, and it was good! It wasn't necessarily soft, but it was a massive portion that could be easily shared. Overall very lovely experience, and I would come here again for another big event or celebration.
