Love that it's in a house on the edge of downtown, and everything is a casual experience. I believe it's run by a couple (he serves, she cooks) as they were the only two people we saw the whole evening. Both stopped by our table multiple times to ensure we were enjoying our meal. Not too keen on fish, we tried probably almost everything else on the menu with a few recommendations from them. Nothing was bad, and several items were exceptional. Just a lovely evening in general. Highly recommend.

They get 4.5 stars. Most food items were pretty good. House seafood & chicken paella was decent (mushroom truffle paella was better). Chicken & duck stew were quite overcooked & did not have much flavour though. There were also a few brunch staples, so it's not just Spanish food. They like truffle oil here & a few dishes have it, but it's subtle. The 3 dips were very good, even if they were more Middle Eastern.3 cheese selection & charcuterie were good, The bread (both in the pinxtos & loose) was a bit stale & dry. The bread basket had a demi baguette with no cutting implement or place to cut it. Desserts were the weakest part of the meal. Churros were very hard: fried to a crisp, though they tasted ok. Carrot cake was very dry & red velvet cupcakes were quite dry. Alfajores were decent & cherry cheesecake & date squares were good.

Came here over the weekend to celebrate my mother's birthday. Guests were 4 adults and 3 kids…read more Place was surprisingly not that busy especially on a Saturday night when that parking lot always gets so full. Place was nicely decorated and clean. Kids liked the little led lamps on the table. They really help with reading in the dim lit place (for the ambiance). But yes not that many tables taken and restaurant is fairly big. Could be the price point which is a bit on the higher side. But let's talk about the food. Had a really great meal here. For the items I remember the price will include. Let's get to it. Started with some bread ($8). It's a bit bigger than a muffin but splits into 4. Comes with some whipped truffle butter. Was small so we had to order 2. We ordered 2 plates of potatoes ($12?). Which kind of resembles the breakfast potatoes (home fries) you get at breakfast spots but elevated , seasoned well and a nice red sauce base and a white sauce top. We ordered some mussels. This dish was a bit confusing. Taste wise it was good, and the server did warn us. So they take the mussel on a half shell, remove the mussel mix it with some stuff and put it back on the shell, then batter and fry it. By the time it's fried you don't know which side the shell is on so you need to bite into it slowly . We ordered the chick which is pretty small portion wise (2 small thighs) and will run you about $30. Delicious sauce and very juicy. We ordered a pork chop ($48) , not sure if the pink would scare you , but it was delicious and was quite tasty I found. The mushrooms $18)was a real winner for me. Beautifully presented and an amazing burst of flavour. Served with a raw egg in the middle for dipping and seasoned well. I could have just ate the mushrooms so delicious. Next came the seafood platter. Shrimp, squid rings and octopus. Char on the octopus was amazing. The kids surprisingly kept asking for more. Shrimps were a good size and quite tasty. Then of course the seafood paella $95) came. We ordered a large and it is quite filling. There is a smaller one I think around $50. Flavor was good, portion of seafood was very good. It was a work of art. The rice was nicely seasoned and everything tasted really good. We ordered some Churros for dessert (2 PC's for $12). It comes with a chocolate sauce that the kids wanted to drink, it was tasty and dipping the churro in it was great. We asked the server if they do anything for birthdays. She told me they have cheese cake so we shared a piece of that too... Delicious.. not sure if it was a problem or miscommunication, but thought it was going to be complimentary for birthdays, or what I was less to believe. Could have been miscommunication but it was $18. It's fine though, we enjoyed our meal. I would go back for special occasions, 4 adults 3 kids meal (no alcohol) and a diet coke after tax and tip was around $450. Food was tasty , but you will drink a ton of water from all that sodium.

I started with some nachos that had multiple layers of cheese. Thank you very much. The ceviche was delicious. The tacos don't come individually so hard spot to go solo. They come in a deconstructed state with meat and all the toppings on the side. You assemble them yourself and make them how you like. One plate made 6 decent size tacos. As usual the service was fast and super friendly. The room stayed the same with a casual ambiance. Well done!!

I've been here numerous times now, always for their half price tapas or other specials which makes…read morethe price more accessible and very worth it. By now we've tried most of the menu but the favourites are the mushroom manchego grilled cheese and the duck. Some items are rotating, which is a nice way to try new items. I did find that in the early years there was some inconsistency with the portion size or plating (I remember this especially for the octopus) but I'm sure as years pass this has been ironed out. I also really like their bread with various canned seafoods. There's a pretty extensive drinks list, and a little market area yo purchase items to go. All in all a nice spot to meet with friends or have a date. There aren't too many seats so if they are busy it may be hard to get seating.

It was my first time in Port Credit, and we stumbled upon this restaurant, which is currently…read moreoperating as a back alley patio. We were intrigued by it's fusion tapas style, even though we had originally thought that it was a Spanish tapas place. I was with a party of six, and we were served by an extremely friendly server that night. We ordered some tacos, flatbreads and a mango papaya salad. Each dish was quite well prepared, and since it was a mix of a lot of different cultures' foods, I was satisfied with the level of authenticity. However, because they were trying to do a lot of different styles, I feel like the quality was not as good as if they did something more focused. Also, I think it would be worth it to consider some more substantial dishes like a fried rice, etc. I know it's a tapas focused place, but I found that for a party of 6, I still didn't feel too satisfied after trying all the dishes we got. I hope that they can continue to upgrade their menu, because I think it's a really nice place already, but improvements can be made. I also think that since it's mostly serve in a back alley patio right now, there were a lot of wasps and it wasn't the cleanest back alley, so that is my other reason for giving this place 3 stars. I'm sure that when they get back to serving in their unit, the quality of the experience will go up!

The interior has high ceilings and lots of chalk art on the walls. Lots of tables for 4s, 8s, and large parties. Looks like a great place to have family gatherings and group feasts. The service was a good pace, there was a good amount of food on the table at any given time and it took about 25-30 min from order to food at the table, we were one of the first groups in and the kitchen was probably still cold. By the time the next group (large party of 12+) arrived, things were much faster. The selection of tapas and main courses covers a large variety of proteins and tastes. Definitely try more dishes than you think you need. Our group of 4 grabbed 2 paellas (the traditionally and exotic forest mushrooms, go for the larger option), a "from the grill" option, and had the house made authentic churros for dessert. Don't skip the churros! They were huge and crispy and fluffy. Looking forward to hanging out with the same group here again. Maybe even stopping by just for the churros.

Last time I was there $17 for 3 large bangers, mashed potatoes and an assortment of steamed fresh vegetables. Plus gravy. Come on. Excellent. They redid the outdoor patio last year and even though it's in a parking lot they did a nice job. Downside this location has been home to at least 2, maybe 3 failed restaurants before. John's came in and did a dust and clean repairs and paint. But you can't get away from the old restaurants. Oddly there is a second room that is large that used to have couple poor tables and a bunch of tables that only gets used for parties and occasional overflow for the main area. Washrooms for men is tiny and needs a makeover, so is the main area. Really dated decor. It's tough. Do you renovate and raise the prices to cover the costs or do try to keep costs down and keep the prices down? For this location it's starting to feel really worn. However the food is still great and we have even used it to cater a small party of 16 last year. I only took one star away because of the lack of any ambiance and the need of updates.

To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement to say the least. We walk in to find a very relaxed, comfortable environment, nothing fancy. Some booths, a nice bar, classic rock music playing, lots of TVs for sports and a friendly greeting upon our arrival. Great selection of beers and a big menu. We tried the burger (they put it together exactly the way I asked), the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich and an order of Buffalo Hot Wings. All were excellent and perfectly presented. The wings especially were great! Wings were huge, perfectly cooked, crispy, Buffalo hot sauce was spot on. At first glance, the pub looks small, but if you go towards the back of the restaurant, you'll see an open door to another section that has pool tables, more seating, a big screen TV and a cozy fireplace. So if you haven't tried Castle John's yet, it's time to check it out. Highly recommended!
