They have smoking cocktails, blended, over-pours, can make multiple drinks/shots at once, its really a spectacle, and the best part is the drinks actually taste great as well! Whether its a pineapple cocktail, margarita, shot or even a smoky old-fashioned, Diyako makes for a great drinks/bar spot right in Richmond Hill. We didn't try alot of their food items, but the burgers were great, as were the wings and fries. Hoping to try more of their menu next time!

Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

Not a lot of great options in the Pickering area yet for foods, but we stumbled across The Social…read moreBar & Lounge. For those who are familiar, this is very similar to Smash Kitchen vibes. Menu is a tad over priced, but I can't deny it tastes good. Not overly salty or oily as bar food often is, and I actually really enjoyed their pasta. It's definitely a great place to go for a bit of a splurgy night with friends where you're prepared to pay $20-40 per person. I like it for a date night to have some heavier foods that I wouldn't want to try cooking at home. The short rib pappardelle was the best. I love the flavour and it's not too crazy heavy, even though it looks really creamy. It has very beef stew type vibes. The chicken wings were well cooked and still moist. I think it was too much flavour going on though. You LOVE the first and even second wing. But by the third one, I felt like it was getting too heavy. I know though that a lot of people love that and can't get enough of it. I personally don't like too much of any one thing. The brussel sprouts I felt the same. It's really yum for the first few bites but it gets really heavy after a while. I think it's really fun to have the appetizers and share a main with someone. The foods are a bit heavier, more of a flavour bomb, but everything is executed well and the staff are really nice! We've even done take out and the portions were very much the same.

Two complimentary sparking wines were included. My partner and I choose the following: Apps: - Duck Wings - 8/10 - very crispy and flavourful, comes with 3 pieces - Tuna Crudo - 5/10 - tuna sashimi w/ wonton chips. This app was OK. Mains: - Market Fish - 9/10 - rainbow trout. fish was very flavourful. We really enjoyed this dish. Potatoes were crispy and mixed well with the creamy fish. - Short Rib Tagliatelle - 8/10 - portion was big, a bit heavy for me, but flavours were still good. We had some leftover. Dessert: - Affogato - 8/10 - the chocolate ice cream had chocolate dipped coffee beans which gave a good crunch to the ice cream. The pistachio biscotti was good too. Service was great, atmosphere was cozy, and the views were nice. They seated us facing the windows and it was intimate. Seats were very comfortable. Lots of parking outside too.

Clean, modern and classy. Great place for a date! FOOD The waitress recommended a few selections but the monte cristo and double cheese burger stood out to us. She mentioned that the burger is AMAZING (it is) and the tater tots are to die for (also true). The monte cristo sandwich consists of shrimp, capocollo, swiss cheese and challah french toast. I didn't know what to expect but it was DELICIOUS! Like revolutionary because I didn't expect the sweetness from the french toast to compliment the salty meat so well. The shrimp added a bit of flavour but lots of texture. Perfect brunchwich (first coined here by me, probably not). The double cheese burger was dirty and greasy and amazing. American cheese, bread & butter pickles, onions, dijonnaise, ketchup on a toasted sesame challah bun. Tater tots are everything you wanted in tater tots. Crispy outside with a potatoey, fluffy and savory inside. Go and enjoy.

Sometimes you walk into a place and you instantly fall in love…read more Lonely Diner is just such a place. It's got this '70s rec-room basement vibe that I personally find completely irresistible. If I had a house, I'd want at least one room that looks exactly like what Lonely Diner's got going on. And fortunately, the drinks and food live up to the incredible atmosphere. I started out with the Haw Yeah ("Rum blend, amaro meletti, pernod, hawflakes, high octane black sugar falernum, mulberry grenadine, lime"), which is a delicious spin on a typical tiki drink. I've ordered it twice now, and it's satisfied me completely on both occasions. Another favorite for me is the Lucky Numb-er 8 ("Gin, pomello & lemongrass gentian, cocchi americano, dry vermouth, sichuan peppercorn tincture"), which is their spin on a white Negroni. It's so damn good. It's packed with flavor and definitely reminds me of a Negroni, but like better than any Negroni I've ever had. If that wasn't impressive enough, the food is terrific too. I tried one of their specials, the Wasabi Fried Chicken Sandwich ("Sichuan peppercorn battered fried chicken with a wasabi spiced caesar dressing and anchovies on a brioche bun"), on my latest visit and it's so, so good. The perfectly cooked and impressively juicy chicken is accompanied by an incredibly flavorful assortment of accouterments. I inhaled it, pretty much. The servers at Lonely Diner are super friendly and helpful, too. I love Lonely Diner. I hope it sticks around for a long, long time.
