    Bruschetta
    Kadeem S.

    The food was solid, the drinks were also, a nice spot to catch up with friends or fam, or to watch the game. The server was sweet. If i ended up there again i wouldn't be upset

    4 stars for the customer service! I forgot what our server's name was but she was super nice and helpful when I asked about an item on the menu. I wanted to try the stir fry but they ended up out of it. I settled for the butter squash ravioli with grilled chicken and it was pretty decent. I give the fish a 7.5/10z. The bottom of the plate was full of oil but the ravioli itself was flavorful. The chicken was cooked perfectly and didn't taste over cooked or dry. I would come back here if I'm ever in town.

    Sicilian pizza, onion rings
    Courtney C.

    Came here for a work Christmas party. I got their Sicilian pizza and their onion rings. The crust of the pizza is quite good. It's on the thick and doughy side for sure. With decent amount of toppings. I also really enjoyed their onion rings as well, nicely fried, crisp battered and you can really taste the beer in their batter as well. There was a lot of us so it got quite chaotic, so many of my coworkers orders were missed or got sent to the wrong table. Overall the food was decent but it is definitely on the pricier side.

    Lamb Burger with Sweet Fries
    Jasmine S.

    We finally decided to go walk blind around Port Credit and came upon this gem of a place! We walked in on a Sunday 1:30pm and were seated right away with our pup! (10/10 for being dog friendly). We ordered the Lamb Burger & the Fish and Chips, with a few beers on tap. Good Lot Beer - my boyfriend says 8/10 - but frankly I'm sure it's a 10/0 since he got two of them and downed it like it was his last beer in his lifetime Lamb Burger - he says "pretty good" - he said that the party kept sliding away from his mouth so he was sad. I rank it 10/10 because it was actually pretty good. Fish & Chips - A++ (yes these rankings don't make sense) but lots of places tend to screw fish & chips - but this place did it well! Super tasty and very good portions! Service was also great - she liked our dog and came to check up on us frequently. She also gave us tips on where to walk on the marina. Great place - will definitely come back with our dog again!

    This place was so welcoming and nice! Our waiter DAREN was an absolute sweetheart who would always ensure we were enjoying our food/drinks! Speaking of the food, it was delicious we ordered the taco pizza and the fresh chicken tenders! They were absolutely BOMB! The patio was nice and clean and everything felt safe. 10/10 I would def come back! Ask for Daren because he truly helped us throughout our dinner.

    Jerk shrimp tacos
    Savita S.

    If you dine here, try the purple Long Island. Ordered the jerk shrimp tacos...was not bad except there was nothing "jerk" about it. Tastes more like sweet and sour shrimp tacos. If you're looking for something spicy or tangy stay away. If you have zero tolerance for any type of spice this would be for you. But sorry, not for me. Friendly staff

    Lamb burger with yam fries
    Hanna F.

    We unknowingly found ourselves looking for dinner at Port Credit during Busker Fest, where every restaurant was busy and packed. However, we got seated fairly quickly, our orders were taken quite promptly as well, and the food arrived pretty fast. We were seated at the patio, which had a nice atmosphere but was a bit cramped. The main floor had seating, a bar, and multiple billiards tables but looked more spacious. I ordered the lamb burger with fresh cut yam fries. The fries were great, especially with the chipotle mayo. The burger itself was good but had a generous layer of goat cheese so it was on the heavy side, even for a burger. They also have a large variety of beer on tap and in bottles. Definitely something I will try the next time!

    Love the Cue... they really did a great job last year on the renovations and moving the bar to the middle of the restaurant. Ample pool tables and a large room upstairs for private events. They have a fantastic beer menu and Friday night I enjoyed their wings and nachos with friends. Great service by Josh and the bartenders knew the menu and gave a great beer suggestion. Today I went in for lunch and had a delicious vegan salad and had them add some chicken, Megan was friendly and attentive serving me.

    I was hungry It was almost 10:30 pm Nothing really opens A moment of weakness..... I needed food My Mini Slider ($8.99) though accordingly to the menu has this locally sourced/hormone & antibiotic free awesome beef but the meat was dry and bland.... Chicken Wings ($12.95) was sizable and meaty but a little bland too! Beer selection though is really good! Love how they have Old Credit Brewery on tap and this is as local as it can get! Beer tasting for $7.25 with selection of any 4 beers on the list. But my waiter said they running out of sampling glass and I might not able to order that?! This was on a Tuesday and only 3 patrons were doing the flight at the other table and they ran out of sampling glass?! The Crooked Cue though is a good place to enjoy a pint or 2 when you are in the neighbourhood! Especially if you want some good beers!

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The omelettes were good and the bacon was delicious. The reason for the 3-star rating is that we felt like an inconvenience to our waiter. We definitely felt that he had little interest in our table because we ordered water to drink rather than alcohol. We noticed he was very solicitous to the tables drinking beer and wine. We will most likely give it another try as the food is good.

    In late October, on a Sunday, I had lunch with a few friends at Rivoli Toronto, an iconic venue…read morenear the downtown core. I had a great time. I parked on Queen Street West. It's Green P parking. I recommend paying for parking through the Green P app if you need to add more time. When you walk in, there's a flight of stairs and a main floor: - The main floor has a restaurant, bars, and Back Room for concerts - The second floor has a full bar, stage, pool tables, and arcade games I entered the main floor. I was greeted by John, the owner. He was super nice and hospitable, leading me to where my friends were. We were a party of six. Main floor We feasted. We got a lot of food. We divided, shared, and conquered. We ended up boxing leftovers home. I ordered a Diet Coke. It was cold and perfect. I ended up getting another one later on. Balls menu The balls menu consists of appetizers that are sharable with friends. I can also see having a few for yourself to enjoy. It's good finger food eats if you want variety or something lighter, especially before a show. We enjoyed the following ballsy items: - Wookie balls - Beefy Danish balls (frikadeller) - Fish ball fusion - D'oh balls - Garlic mashed potato All the balls were scrumptious and filling. The Wookie balls are one of the Rivoli's signature items. They are rice balls with mirin, sesame oil, and herbs, coated in black and white sesame seeds. They were crunchy and yummy. The beefy Danish and garlic mashed potato balls are comfort in ball form. I dream of this combo still. I was fortunate to have been invited into the kitchen, to check out where these talented chefs make all their food creations. Every order is made fresh. I could tell how much these chefs love what they do. They cooked and plated everything so effortlessly and with such precision. It was impressive! I got to see them make these offerings for us: - Blackened burger - Korean chicken lettuce wraps They were delicious and full of flavour. You can get the lettuce wraps made with veggies if you're vegan. Noodles We got the vegetarian pesto linguini. I loved the roasted red pepper and garlic cloves, with pesto that was fresh and bright. You can also get this dish with chicken. Rivoli's classic pad thai has been a staple since Rivoli opened in 1982. Pan-seared chicken and shrimp are your proteins. Egg, scallions, peanuts, and bean sprouts, and the proteins are tossed with rice noodles in Rivoli's signature pad thai sauce. The sauce is ketchup-based, which may offend pad thai purists, but they are missing out on yumminess by knocking it. You can also get this dish made vegetarian with veggies and tofu. Flatbreads Flatbreads are part of the Sound Bites appetizers at Rivoli. We enjoyed the following flatbreads: - Spicy thai - Spicy thai sauce base, with baby shrimp, marinated chicken, green onion, bean sprouts, ribbons of egg, roasted peanuts, cilantro, and fresh lime zest - Korean BBQ - Korean BBQ sauce base, with marinated chicken, red pepper, red onion, carrot, cheese, cilantro, and green onion - Love from parma - drizzled extra virgin olive oil on the flatbread, with thyme, sea salt, cracked black pepper, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, shaved parmesan, arugula, and flat-leaf parsley - Blanco - drizzled extra virgin olive oil on the baked flatbread, with fresh thyme, cracked sea salt, gouda cheese, and bufala mozzarella All flatbreads were perfectly toasted and made to order. They were both chewy and crispy where they should be. Scrumptious! Back Room The Back Room is the main stage. Adele, Amy Winehouse, Gord Downie, The Kids in the Hall, Mike Myers are some folks who have performed here. It was cool to look at the stage and sit on it, to soak in everything. I'll need to return and check out a show or more. Second floor I took in The Empty Glasses play a live set at 3 pm on the second floor. The stage is by the bar. This band plays every other Sunday. It felt like being in Nashville, visiting a bar, knowing that there is good, live country music playing as you grab a drink and a bite to eat. The difference is that you save a bit by soaking up country vibes in downtown Toronto. It's a tight-knit community of talented country musicians that can play or sing anything on a Sunday afternoon. It was special to witness. I instantly became a fan, as attending live concerts and performances is my thing. There's also a pool hall with games on this floor. It was a throwback to my undergraduate years learning how to play pool with friends over drinks. There are a decent number of pool tables. I counted eleven. The purple one in the middle is the largest one out of the bunch. The oldest one is over a century old. It's like being in a pool hall museum, but you can touch the artifacts. You can also play video games. I saw Pac-Man and other great 80's arcade games. They made me happy. I had a great time. The food and drinks, and live music were excellent. (436)

    October 5/2024: Dinner & a show with my Al, where it all began!…read more Started with the Spring Rolls ($10.99). They were tasty & we're free thanks to YELP!! My main was the totally mediocre burger, fries & an Amsterdam Blond Beer. Beer was delicious ($7.96). It was their "Blackened Burger" with blue cheese ($21.99). It was good but not great. Very small portion as I've noticed at many other restaurants. The service was good. Our Columbian Server was a very nice, polite young man. In the beginning the restaurant was well cared for & in the beginning it was quiet. We went to the in-house show after dinner. The show was a burlesque show consisting of a bunch of overweight women that were a way too old taking off their cloth! All hosted by a transvestite comedian! It was funny as hell, entertaining & super weird all in one! It was also the Neublanch Art festival on Queen W. Let me just say that, that street was weird central last night!! To me, this was a totally enjoyable evening & I'd recommend this restaurant & the subsequent show for sure! It happens once/month.

They also have a couple of big screen TVs to watch sport games. If you don't like billiards, they do have a small arcade with a fuzz ball table, some shooting/driving games. Also, there is a jukebox in the corner for those who want to play music. The music really helps bring this place to life. Overall, nice place to hang and shoot a few rounds of pool with friends when you're in the neighbourhood.

I purchased a Groupon for $15, which included 2 hours of pool for 2 people and $10 toward appetizers. Monte Carlo is located just east of Dundas and Dixie, but is not visible from the main roads, which made it hard to find. It's located in a fairly old strip mall that I usually drive by without giving a second glance. The bar itself is an older looking establishment, but very well kept. There are many pool tables and a handful of snooker tables that take up the large space, which consists of one long main room, and two smaller rooms. The staff were accommodating when I informed them that I had a Groupon. They even gave us a reminder when we had 5 minutes left in our promotional 2 hour limit, which was very nice of them. The drinks here are decently priced, with a beer costing about $3.50. The appetizers are decently priced as well, but don't expect anything special. I ordered the jalepeno poppers and they were clearly just heated from a frozen state, with some being colder than others. While the food was just alright, the actual pool tables were quite good! The tables are well kept, and ours didn't have any rips or bumps that would've impacted our game. There was ample space between tables, so at no point did we ever feel cramped for space. The cues are also decent and plentiful. I'd definitely recommend this place to others for those who want a pure pool experience. For a night out, I'd still recommend Wacky Wings because the food and entertainment is incomparable.
