The experience here was not like any restaurant I've ever been to especially in the states. The staff were so friendly and kind. They made us feel like we were apart of the family. Our server kept saying she was so happy we found their restaurant. So happy we came to visit. She was so sweet. Let's talk food. DELICIOUS!!! Everything is made fresh. They give a pretty large portion I feel everything is shareable. I do not like turkey bacon at all. I don't know why they did to this turkey bacon or if it was because we were in Canada. I can't stop thinking about it or the blueberry pancakes. When we come back to Toronto we will definitely stop back by. Good service, a nice family environment, and good food is hard to come by.

Veda's Choice The…read morecroissant and poached egg sandwich was flawless. I honestly didn't expect it to be this good. The poached egg was incredibly delicate, and the moment I picked up the sandwich and took a bite, the runny yolk spilled right out. The Béarnaise sauce worked beautifully with it too. My favorite way to eat it was almost like sukiyaki, dipping pieces of the croissant into the runny yolk before each bite. Absolutely delicious. Buttermilk Pancake Now this is what a fluffy pancake should be. The pancakes were wonderfully soft and airy, stacked three layers high with tiny blueberries scattered around like little sapphires. The blueberry compote added a nice touch of acidity without making everything overly sweet. The maple syrup definitely brings quite a bit of sweetness, so the unsweetened whipped cream was a great addition. My favorite combination was a little whipped cream, a little syrup, and some blueberry compote all in one bite. Three pancakes are quite a lot for one person, though. I was definitely struggling a little toward the end. Turmeric Latte Pretty much exactly what the name suggests: ginger, turmeric, and black pepper under a thick layer of milk foam. Put them together and you can almost taste the beginnings of an Indian curry. I found the flavor itself a little uneventful, but a warm latte was still very comforting on a cold day.

I finally made it to Mildred's! A late Friday lunch with reservation was perfect. The 90 minutes in…read moretraffic and construction to get there was yikes. The service was terrific and the restaurant was light and bright. Lots of space between tables and a huge space. Cute washrooms. Now the food. We split the pancakes and the chicken with waffles. The pancakes may have been the best that I have ever had and I bought some of the blueberry compote to take home. The chicken was delicious and a savory foil to the sweetness of the pancakes.

The venue was very beautiful with manicured lawns, a castle-like building, and a sufficiently large banquet hall for guests and a live band. The hors d'eouvres included spring rolls, phyllo triangles filled with cheese, and coconut shrimp. Since we were here on Star Wars day (May 4th), there were even green Yoda drinks with eyes and lime slices for ears. They definitely played up this theme all day and it was a really nice touch. What was noticeable throughout the evening was how good the food was. Everyone at the table said it was better than previous years at a different golf course. The antipasto, which is usually my least favorite dish, was really good. The beef entree was amazing. It was cooked perfectly medium on the inside with the same color pink throughout. The staff were courteous and accommodating. One person at our table asked for the personal caesar salad without bacon since the shared salad had bacon and we pretty much received another shared salad. Towards the end of the evening, the staff were clearing off tables while the banquet was winding down. But they were a little too quick to clear the tables that they took away someone's photo booth photos before those people came back to the table to claim their photos.

The potatoes, which often tends to be an afterthought, were actually pretty good. it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The dessert course was a delectable in sweetness and creativity. Each bite was a delight, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Doctor's House boasts ample parking, which was a huge relief, we had no issues with parking, there is accessible parking as well. Furthermore, the venue itself is beautifully decorated, with elegant touches and plenty of natural light. The staff at Doctor's House were exceptional.

I don't normally write reviews but seen a couple of unfair reviews here. I've been here a few times since it opened and have enjoyed the great food, staff and cleanliness of the place. I even spoke to one of the owners of the place due to a food allergy request and was easily accommodated me needing gluten free. They just opened and are doing their best to establish themselves. To see someone slam a business because of ONE mistake is sad, I'm sure if they found the restaurant fine they wouldn't have gone through the trouble to post a recommendation. I happened to be there on family day and the place was jumping! Line up out the door, so places have growing pains so just chill & relax. GREAT PLACE GREAT FOOD! read more

While standing in the long lineup to get into Sammy's for Sunday brunch (note that this place is…read morebetter to visit on a weekday) I met a nice lady who told me she has had two knee replacements. Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

The server/maybe owner modifies my order to be 2 bacon, 2 sausage and 4 eggs, with a single serving of potatoes. Basically, I just ordered the early bird special, but paid an extra 7.99 for 2 eggs.
