I was in the area on a weekday early evening and stepped in for once without reading reviews first…read more What I didn't know before I headed there is that it's at the Best Western Hotel... Already I have my judgement and second thoughts... maybe as a local, I should check out somewhere else? As we entered this side door, the sign said we needed reservations to be seated. We knocked on the door and asked, they accommodated us. Vaccine passport checked. There's also outdoor seating available, though there's no shade. The place was dead. We were the only customers... we didn't know that until we stepped in, so we were committed at that point. Not the type of vibe that's very welcoming when it's dead and the doors don't look opened. We ordered the cheese steak and fries (sushi-grade steak on the menu) $19. The special that day was the 1lb of wings for $15 that comes with fries or salad. Regularly, the wings don't come with a side. I like the sauce with the wings, tequila chipotle with lime. The server was also attentive, but like I said, we were the only ones there! The food is okay! The salad is fresh, and the fries are crispy. The menu is a standard pub affair and the decor leaves me wanting something more exciting. Oh, there's a check-in offer for a free dessert, which I missed, so please take advantage of it. As a traveller at the hotel, you'll be satisfied with the food. As a local, nothing really stood out to go out of my way for a revisit.

I had lots of fun when we came in for a Thursday evening trivia night. I arrived some time between…read more6 and 6:30 PM and managed to reserve a table at the back of the 2nd floor common area. It does seem to fill in fast, so anyone wanting to join the trivia game should arrive way early before 7PM. The waiters or servers were all very nice and helpful. I ordered the Falafel Burger and it came with fries. The serving size was a good amount for an individual. The price, however, was a little bit much. I understand that the pricing premium maybe due to all the other entertainment present and provided by the establishment. There was trivia night during Thursdays, and I believe there was also an Irish night announced, and other days when there is some music being played. I was really impressed with the trivia night items and the format. A lot of thought was put into the narrative and overall theming of all the questions. My only complain was that I wished they did not spend too long in between question sets and rounds. The game show started at 7 and finished sometime closer to 9. If it was a Friday, there will be no issue about the ending time; but considering that it was a Thursday evening some people may have work the following day.

I loved this pub so much I got married here!…read more We had a small ceremony (20 people) on the dreamy back patio and a medium reception (55 people) on the upper floors. Steve and his staff were a dream to work with. I won't get into all the details but it was like working with a proper wedding planning team with the benefit (and cost!) of a casual, cozy pub wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the staff. It's so cliche but it was the best night of my life. These are just some snaps from friends' phones. I may update when I get the professional photos.

May not recommend it for takeout.

Was a beautiful summer day in COVID - and what better day to spend it than eating on a patio?? My…read morefriend from Toronto drove to Mississauga with her partner, and we settled on Pump House Grille. Honestly, the food was good but I had to take some marks off for the service. First, the kitchen staff was very evidently not wearing masks properly - over four had their masks pulled down over their chins and/or fully exposing their noses. Second, the service was painstakingly slow. It took them over half an hour to serve our dishes after we placed our orders. As for the food, I ordered the lobster avocado wrap but with the tiger sauce on the side as I was worried it'd be a touch too soggy. I think it was a good decision as the tomato and smashed avocado were sufficient to make the toasted wrap wet already. The lobster was decent - there was more meat than I expected, but some of the meat was quite soft (not al dente as fresh lobster often is). The bacon and toasted wrap helped add some texture mouthfeel, which I appreciated. For those wondering, the "tiger sauce" was a slightly spicy, sour mayo-based sauce. My friends ordered the Cuban panini and the sliders. Both found the food portions to be quite generous and were stuffed after the meal! Overall, it was a decent experience. The patio is a tad too close to the road so it can be a bit loud, and do be prepared for a wait if you plan on eating here.

This private room is really well done. It is a small long room that can fit quite a long table. The lighting is great and it even has a TV at the end of it. The food is great. The vibes are great and the service is very good! Since we were part of a large group, we got a few appetizers to share like the nacho platter and the garlic bread. I had a chance to try the nachos and they were great. For my main I asked our server which pastas she recommended and she gave some great suggestions. I ended up going with the fettuccine alfredo and added chicken to it. I was honestly really pleasantly surprised that it tasted absolutely delicious and also came with a small garlic bread. I also had the chance to try their sweet potato fries which were also really good. Since we were here for a friend's birthday we did bring a cake and the staff were so kind and helpful. They brought the cake out and brought knives, cutlery and small plates for us to serve the cake. They even went above and beyond by offering to take the cake back to the kitchen and keep it in the fridge for us, they actually cut up the rest of the cake and put them in takeout containers for all of us to take home. In terms of payment, they were able to split bills for such a large party, which I appreciated. The rest of the restaurant has a very chill vibe as well. They have live music which was nice to enjoy for a bit. However, I also really appreciated the fact that the private room had doors on it which is really nice for privacy if we wanted it. The washrooms here are also very clean. Overall, I had a great first experience here, and I think I will definitely be back for their patio in the summertime.

Ahi tuna sushi press 3. Baja fish tacos. 4. Crispy chicken cobbs salad. All deserve praises. Delicious. Flavorful. Refreshing. The right crunchiness and flavor balanced. No grease. Due to this experience, I came for the 2nd time with another friend. Ordered: 1. Pretzel bites (signature)- huge. Salty and savory. Good but didn't leave much impression. 2. Brussel sprout (signature)- love at first bite for both of us! It's like you want to keep eating. Definitely reorder on my next visit. 3. French dip - friend said this is alright. 4. The main (signature) - not as juicy as i hope. Not dry per se but definitely could be juicier. I switched the fries to mix green. The salad is more enjoyable than the burger. Lol 5. Creme brule. Nth can go wrong with it. My friend finished the whole thing. I find it too sweet, but it's just preference. 6. Bake fruit tart - surprisingly really good (and surprisingly i finished all by myself too)..it was soft crusty 'pie' with fruits filling inside (seems like apple and strawberry). The strawberry hint of tartness bring the refreshing flavor and well balance flavor with the vanilla ice cream. Friendly and attentive service. Already plan to come back with another (new) friend.

We were there for a very long time and they didn't kick us out. Very friendly staff and brought out the food and drinks in a timely manner. My friends ordered tacos, fries, green salad and they looked delicious. I ordered their guacamole dip with chips and pita bread. Loved every bite of it. Wished I had more guac as I had chips leftover. I've been to their other locations (Meadowvale and North York) and it also didn't disappoint. The North York manager is super attentive to her customers - last time I was there. Verdict- I would definitely come back to eat and chill. Two recommendations are: veggie burger and their panang rice noodle dish. Love them!! Also, it is a Great place for large parties.

The bang bang chicken dish was smaller than I anticipated, especially seeing other tables' appetizers looking huge. Most of the chicken was well battered, minus a couple that was mostly over fried batter. The food also took a lot longer to come out than usual. Overall I would return to try other items.
