    I had supper last evening with two friends. I had Crispy Roast Half Chicken (buttery mashed potatoes, maple-glazed carrots, smoked chicken gravy), which was delicious. Rona had Fish & Chips (two pieces, Henderson's beer-battered cod tempura, marinated cabbage, thousand island sauce) but replaced the chips with a salad. She said it was good, though the batter was salty. Liz had Roasted Squash Cannelloni (brown butter, monterey jack cheese, sage, nutmeg, pumpkin seed crumble) and said it was good. We'd never seen a Baked Alaska (raspberry sorbet, chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, spiced rum) before so Liz and I shared one. It was tasty and fun! Raul was our server ... he was friendly and helpful and took good care of us.

    The service was great and very quick! The food on the other hand was sub par. The tuna tartar has too much mayo and avocado so it was very creamy. The steak I ordered it medium rare and it came well done, also the fries that it came with were so salty. The ambiance, on the other hand, was very modern chic and clean!

    Summerlicious 2024: Salmon gravlax
    Natalie C.

    My colleagues and I came for summerlicious lunch. We chose this restaurant as it was one of the restaurants with the most variety of apps and mains. The Joneses had a total of 5 mains to choose from, covering different type proteins and had a vegetarian option. I chose the salmon gravlax for apps, beef tenderloin skewer with potato salad for main, and the brownie for dessert. Out of the 3 courses, my favourite was the salmon gravlax. The presentation was amazing! The smoked salmon was not overly salty and the creme fraiche balanced the rest of the condiments really well. The accompanying toast was very thin, just like potato crisp. The beef tenderloin came as 1 skewer alternating 4 cubes of beef with grilled zucchini. Whilst ordering, the server told us that the beef was cooked medium rare. I'm usually a medium kind of person, but decided to be a bit adventurous and try it a notch more rare. The beef was extremely tender, but I wish there was more grilled flavour to it (e.g. maybe a slight char on the outside?) I was looking forward to the chimichurri and therefore was a tad disappointed when so little was drizzled on the skewer. The brownie was quite thin and s a result, it was not as moist as I hoped. Shoutout to using actual vanilla to make the crema, as I was able to see specks of vanilla seeds. The environment was spacious and the service was attentive.

    I went for dinner and when we got there, it was busy, but nothing crazy. It is very spacious and has a warm ambiance. Staff is friendly but could definitely use some work. We were neglected a decent amount of the time.. we waited for our drink order to be taken and they just kept walking by, luckily another staff member noticed and took our order. Once our drinks were brought, we asked for a straw and again, we were neglected until we asked someone else. The fried calamari was okay - kind of chewy and salty in some spots so I think it was overcooked. The dipping sauce was really good. What saved it was the pizza, I ordered the Hawaiian bee sting and it was really good. The dough was soft, had a bit of sweetness, spiciness. I usually don't like a Hawaiian pizza but this, I enjoyed. I tried a few bites of their Mac and cheese: it was good but not a mac and cheese by any means.

    The service was stellar. The food was tasty. Very cute place. My sister and friend raved about the pizza and salad. My soup was just okay.

    Happy hour menu

    The happy hour is pretty good at The Joneses. But not all cocktails are in the happy hour. I wish they were clear about it. Only mint julep, old fashioned and one other drink was in the happy hour. So it can be a bit misleading. The mixologist, Jeff, was friendly and told us about some other good places in the area as he's been around the Toronto food and drink scene for a while. The cheese bread that looks like cinnamon rolls is so amazing. I think this elevated our happy hour experience. The ambiance is nice but very bright. If they dim the lights a bit, it'll be a more cozy experience. Overall, a good spot for a happy hour.

    Amazing service and the place was really cute!! The lychee martini is a MUST TRY and my poke bowl was delicious!

    1/2 Caesar salad. Not too bad.

    We love all O&B restaurants. But this one may need some work. We invited a few friends to a bunch on a Friday morning, and the restaurant was relatively quiet. The service was subpar in comparison to other O&B experiences. Even the manager was grumpy as we told her one of the dishes (roasted mushroom side dish) was not very good as the pressed mushroom was so chewy, I thought I was not meant to eat it, but our server and the manager said it is eatable, to a point I don't think anyone cares. This place is trying to keep up with the Joneses, and it may take a natural leader to get there. My partner complained about the $32 Hawaiian Bee Sting pizza not being a good value as it is a super small pizza. Having said it, the kids enjoyed the Mac & Cheese. Will I go back? No, thank you.

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

    This may be toted as just another burger place spot but it is far from your average joint…read more I had lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

    Saw this burger joint every time I take the 512 west and thought I'd check it out one of these…read moredays. Went on Monday afternoon as I was on my regular driving route and ordered the crispy chicken burger. It came out looking smashing as they use a complete chicken breast, really juicy and the taste is pretty good other than it was a bit salty. The only gripe I had was the shoestring fries, I would have much preferred fresh straight cut fries.
