    Strawberry Croissant
    Cristina O.

    Was staying in the area & heard great things about this place. We stopped by for brunch & of course there was a line. We took a walk in the meantime but were finally seated in the sunny bar area once re returned. The weather was grey, cold & rainy so comfort food was on my mind. I ordered the "Grilled Cheese" (sourdough, cheddar, cheese curds, tomato jam & tomato soup). It was decent but I guess it had been sitting out for awhile & the cheese had started to harden into a gelatinous mess. The "tomato jam" was also very acidic & not necessary since the soup was delicious (albeit a bit cold) and would have been perfect for dipping. I n hindsight, I should have ordered the sandwich plain & just happily dipped away. My boyfriend chose the "Steak & Eggs" (6oz hanger, two eggs, roasted mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, home fries) & loved it. For dessert, we chose to split a Strawberry Croissant. When it arrived, we audibly gasped. It was beautiful, glorious with golden, buttery ribbons of pastry interloping with red and a string of dried strawberries crowning the creation. Unfortunately, it was all looks. I could not detect the taste of strawberry at all! Was SO disappointed. In any case, while not as amazing as I expected, the ambiance & the location are spectacular & I would definitely be back to try something else on their menu.

    Cheesecake stuffed French toast with grape compote and peanut praline.

    My husband and I opted to try The Civic for brunch to celebrate a special occasion. Given the good things I've heard about the restaurant I had really high hopes and I hate to say that I was a bit disappointed. Let me preface by saying that the restaurant is gorgeous and the service was spectacular. No complaints about the people working there whatsoever. The food and coffee, however, left me underwhelmed. I ordered a macchiato and it was BAD. Really acidic espresso with a bitter aftertaste that is still lingering in my mouth. I enjoy a sharp espresso but even a touch of sugar couldn't save this shot. I was really grateful for the pineapple mimosa I ordered to wash it down. I would definitely order the mimosa again. In terms of food, I always err towards sweet over savory when it comes to brunch, so I ordered the cheesecake stuffed French toast. It looked beautiful on the plate, but the sides were really overdone and crunchy. The peanut brittle on top tasted wonderful, but was diminished by the very bitter and out-of-place grape compote. I didn't end up eating any of the portion that had grape on it because it didn't have a pleasant flavor. My husband ordered the duck Benedict and had nothing but positive things to say (his empty plate spoke volumes). I would consider trying this place again, but I think I'd stick to their savory menu and the mimosas over what I had ordered.

    Omelette Frites $16
    Bella M.

    Came here for brunch and ordered the Broadview Breakfast and Omelette Frites. Broadview Breakfast had a tiny amount of the pork rosti and one of the poached eggs came hard boiled. The omelette has cheese inside which comes cold (I asked if that's the way it's supposed to be) so it doesn't melt in the omelette, but instead makes the omelette cold. They also don't have lactose free milk for coffee drinks. I wouldn't go back. Service is slow, food is mediocre and prices are high.

    Generic yet overpriced brunch. nothing special. the food didn't taste horrible though there are other spots where you can get better dishes with better quality. our sever was attentive and professional, though some of the other servers were rude.

    Pretty tea for brunch.

    Had the Broadview breakfast. Small portions of Store-bought hash browns with store bought bacon and eggs with a single tomato. I could have easily made this myself. Bread was good but not the best. My friend had the Duck Benedict which looked anemic as the duck was cold but the scone she said was very good and the hollandaise sauce not bad. Ho hum brunch and expected better for such an establishment advertising seasonal and ever changing menu for dinner. Maybe the dinner will be better, but dare I risk it? Maybe I will come back for apps and drinks and take it from there. Maybe. But for brunch be prepared to be underwhelmed and maybe have a snack before or after because the portions are not enough really.

    We enjoyed or dinner and drinks at the bar. The vibe was lively without being annoyingly loud. The bartenders were good and attentive and the food was quite good without being mind blowing. All above average for sure and worth trying. It's amazing to see how the building has transformed.

They take tastes from around the world and put it in their poutine, wraps, hotdogs, and burgers! The regular poutine costs $6.99, $7.99, and $8.99, depending on the size. If you want proteins (like Butter Chicken, Bacon Daddy, Crispy Chicke, Jerk Chicken) on the poutine, you pay and extra $3.49, $5.49, and $6.49, depending on the size. Note that these prices are not listed on the menu; I told them to list the additional charges there, and they promised to do so. We ordered the following: 1. Classic Poutine (small $6.99). 2. Butter Chicken Poutine (small $10.48). My son ate the entire Classic Poutine. He loved it! I asked for the Butter Chicken not to be covered until after I took photos. The chef made it look prettier with some fries sticking out around the circumference of the round container. Not only did it look more presentable, but it also allowed me to try the fries on its own, after I took my time taking photos and videos. The fries where not soaked in the butter chicken sauce so I could actually taste the excellent quality of the fries; they were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and best of all, not greasy! The chicken were diced into small pieces. The sauce was excellent. I must come back to try their wraps (like Sweet Thai Chicken and Peri-Peri) and their burgers (like Smash and Italian Sausage). There are also daily combo specials. These provide decent savings. For example, for Friday's special, if you bought them individually, it would cost $16.48, but the combo costs $11.99. This food stall opened on 2024-04-22. There is no free WiFi. The food stall is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-084

We have visited twice: once for brunch and once for their Wednesday Date Night special.

Brunch is available every weekend from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the menu puts a fun twist on classic brunch dishes. On our second visit, we tried their $69 Date Night special, which is designed for two people and includes a choice of a shared appetizer or dessert, two mains, and two drinks. You can also order extra and pay the difference. We ordered the "Calamari", "Spinach Artichoke + Goat Cheese Dip", "Meat Lover's Pizza", "Sauced + Tossed Fingers", "Cookie + Cream", "Beach Hair Don't Care", "Tequila Sunburn", and a beer. Everything was enjoyable, and the value of the Date Night offer is great.

It has since been renovated by the new owners, making it elegant, but keeping the same vibe. The restaurant serves pork chops, steaks, fish, and elevated comfort food. It can seat 130 diners. There is a wood fire grill in the open kitchen; yes i saw them stoking the fire with wood pieces. There is a large selection of signature cocktails, wines, and beers. The menu changes seasonally. Most of the mains are served solo; ie, not garnished. You would have to order shareable sides. The Pork Chop was recommended by the server as the most garnished, do I ordered that. We came there on 2025-06-19 to celebrate my Birthday Dinner. The food was amazing and worth returning to try more of the menu. They do have a kids menu too. We ordered the following: 1. Lychee Grapefruit Highball ($15). Soju, soho lychee, soda, grapefruit, Thai basil, NICE ice. 2. Macaroni & Cheese ($22). With aged cheddar. From kids menu. 3. French Fries ($10). Garlic mayonnaise. 4. Shrimp Toast ($22). BC side stripe shrimp, sesame, apple sweet & sour sauce. 5. Lasagna ($30). Beef bolognese, risotta bechemel, basil. 6. Pasture Raised Pork Chop ($34). 12 ounces, sherry, capers & mustard. 7. Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($12),. Sweet chili, sesame seeds. 8. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream ($14). All the food was excellent, and worth the price. The NICE Ice is shipped in from a company that makes perfectly translucent ice. They boil it to be free of impurities, then put the boiled water into a mold to freeze. The Shrimp Toast was crunchy on the outside and the apple sweet & sour sauce was excellent. The Lasagna was great. Even my son loved it. The Pork Chop was perfectly cooked. There might have been 10% fat pieces and the charred bits were divine. The combination sherry and capers was a great idea. The Brussel Sprouts were not too bitter, and tasted great with the sweet chili sauce; it wasn't spicy. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was so moist. The amount toffee sauce was just right, and the vanilla ice cream was the perfect accompaniment. There is music playing in the background. There is a small private dining room downstairs. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two male and two female and one gender-neutral family washroom, all downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. There are three high chairs for little children. Review 2025-114

You then are given a menu with lots of options, but to stick to the nerdy gamer theme, I'd highly recommend going with the Dungeon meal, where you get your choice of pizza, burgers, poutine, or pasta and then you can roll a 20-sided die to choose each ingredient. This is where all the fun was introduced - staying with the integrity of our rolls, our table had some wacky orders, one hit (e.g., burger with steak and complementary toppings) and 2 big misses (e.g., poutine with a tator tot base, vegan gravy, bacon jam, goat cheese, and pickled cabbage). Even though the misses were massive, they opened the door to a night full of laugher as my friends painfully finished their creations. Additionally, the service is incredible!

But the meal I actually had was, honestly, one of the worst I've had in Toronto It started small. Our water arrived with two wet glasses set on the table, still damp and stacked, alongside the carafe. When I asked for something to dry them, I was handed napkins rather than clean, dry glasses. A minor thing on its own, but it set the tone. I ordered what the menu called Korean chicken, not realizing it was listed under sandwiches. It arrived cold, on a bao bun that had been cut through the bottom, so there was nothing to actually hold, it fell apart in my hands. The chicken itself was processed strips in some kind of sweet sauce, one to two ounces at most on the entire plate, for $23. I'd ordered it thinking I was getting a real serving of protein, and there simply wasn't much there. Calling it Korean is also a stretch, there was nothing about it that reflected the cuisine. The menu listed coleslaw as a side; what came was a few pickled onions on the sandwich. When I asked about it, the server told me the pickled onions were the slaw. But pickled onions and coleslaw aren't interchangeable, an onion is an accoutrement, like a pickle or a tomato. Coleslaw is something different, and a menu shouldn't promise something it doesn't deliver. I raised all of this with our server directly and, kindly, told her I thought the dish should come off the menu, and that they'd be better off leaning into what they clearly do well. She mentioned it was a recent addition, The food simply didn't deliver. My friend, who only ordered fries, felt the same about the place overall. The service didn't help. The staff weren't attentive or particularly friendly, and honestly, no one looked like they wanted to be there. One more note for anyone planning a visit: it happened to be bingo night, and the hosts were on microphones and extremely loud, and not only loud but fairly explicit, sexual references and cussing throughout. They tried to seat us right next to it, and we asked instead for a table inside, as far from it as possible. That's fine for a club or private event, but this is a public, family-accessible restaurant on Centre Island. Honestly, we only stayed because it was late and the only other option nearby was a fast-food sandwich place. In hindsight, I'd have gone to the other location. This wasn't just a meal I didn't enjoy, it was an experience I didn't enjoy, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. I wont be back
