The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and has that old-school charm that makes it perfect for a date night or a nicer dinner out. The lamb shank was easily the highlight for me. It was sooo tender and basically fell apart with barely any effort. The meat was rich, juicy, and full of flavor, and you could tell it had been cooked low and slow because it was incredibly soft without being dry at all. The sauce paired with it was deep and savory and really soaked into the meat, which made every bite even better. It's also a very filling dish, so you definitely feel like you're getting a full meal. The lamb itself had that comforting, slow-cooked flavor that makes the dish feel hearty but still elevated enough for the setting. Overall, I really enjoyed The Majestic. The atmosphere is beautiful, the food feels thoughtfully prepared, and the lamb shank is absolutely something I would order again.

I ordered the Caesar salad, mussels (10/10 omg!!), pesto fusilli with shrimp, salmon (a must order!), and the coconut cake to finish it all off. The only thing I didn't love were the cocktails. I'm usually not picky when it comes to drinks, but they just didn't quite do it for me. If The Majestic isn't already on your list, add it! Definitely worth a visit.

I can't remember his name but he and his partner Wynn gave impeccable customer service. I started out with an Orange Wave to drink while I waited for my sister. She was about 30 mins late. I wasn't rushed and I didn't feel uncomfortable waiting for her to arrive. I chose the lobster omelette. It came with potatoes and a mixed salad. The potatoes were crispy and the lobster was nice and buttery. The atmosphere was lively. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and you never know what local celebrity you may see. 10/10

The bartenders were super friendly, and the bar was full of locals chatting, laughing, and clearly enjoying themselves. We tried a local beer and cider, and both were delicious and so refreshing after being outside. We also noticed at least four people around us ordering the fish and chips, which definitely caught our attention for next time! If you're looking for a cold drink, great A/C, friendly bartenders, and that comfortable neighborhood-bar vibe right in Old Town, Chadwick's is definitely worth a stop.

Haven't been to Chadwicks in a while, so it was nice to convene for a recent brunch to catch up with some friends. While there is limited outdoor seating, I prefer the upstairs since it's typically quieter, and the abundant windows naturally illuminate the space. The interior is also characterized by nautically themed decor, along with exposed brick walls and hardwood flooring. TBH, this is one of the better Brunch spots in Old Town. There brunch menu is extensive - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/68d065ce6d80726524c2bca9/t/6a3d8efe5e4fbd1439f0bc1a/1782419198238/Brunch.pdf - and has all of traditional breakfast offerings of pancakes, french toast, a variety of eggs, sausage/bacon/ham, etc. While there are also lunch type savory options such as sandwiches and chicken and pasta entrees, I opted for the classic biscuits and gravy. I don't normally eat this type of heavy carb heavy dish...but every now and then, it's not so bad. The plate arrived with two buttermilk biscuits, country bacon gravy, two sunny side up two eggs, and home fries. The gravy was nice and thick with pieces of sausage bits, but I found the biscuits on the dry side, rather than buttery and flaky. Eggs were prepared properly and had that satisfying "ooze" when the yolks were popped. Home fries tasted previously frozen and could've used a few more minutes in the fryer. Service was a bit slow as there was only one staff taking orders and delivering food. But he was friendly and would circle back around to check on our group frequently. Pair your meal with a few choices of cocktails (I ordered a $5 mimosa) and Chadwicks brunc h is a great way to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Be sure to inform your server ahead of time, if separate checks are desired. One brunch entree, one mimosa with tax and tip totalled to about $25.

My sister and I both ordered the steak and eggs, which came with potatoes and chimichurri sauce, and everything was absolutely delicious! The steak was flavorful, the entire meal was really good, and I would definitely order it again. For my toddler, we ordered the kids' waffle with fruit. My only small suggestion would be to offer a protein option with the kids' meal to make it a little more complete. It wasn't a big issue for us since I was able to share some of my food with him. The service was wonderful! Our server was quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is such a cute little spot with a nice atmosphere. Overall, great food, great service, and a really enjoyable brunch. I would definitely come back again!

( TV's are at the bar so this makes them the perfect NFL and brunch location !! ) And now let's talk about the food !! WOW !! Like this really impressed me on another level.... It's a fast paced environment, so for the food to be this good left me in awe ( I salute their chef !! ) I started out with the crab stuffed oysters. And I almost ended right there because this appetizer was just that good ( I contemplated ordering two more servings for my meal ) the crab is more like a dip, with a cheesy sauce loaded on top of an oyster ( the best I have tasted for sure ) and when coupled with the ritz style cracker... I had to calm my tastebuds down !!! And for my entree I tried the M & T smash burger with fries and this kept my tastebuds doing its own version of a touchdown dance ( absolutely a 10 out of 10 !! ) Matt and Tony's you have a loyal customer for life ( see you next weekend !! )

There was a decent chunk of the fridge for already prepared food for grab and go. Might need a little more direction for the front of house workers. Actively sitting down during their shift, delaying and using people's time to just sit on their phones at the front door. Might not be the greatest look as a business owner. Ordered chicken salad sandwich (4.5/5) but said no tomatoes, registered on receipt no tomato, had to pull tomatoes off the sandwich. Chicken had an Indian marsala taste to it, very flavorful and delicious. I had the chicken cordon blue Sammie and was overall a 5/5! Great sauce with a lil mustard zing. We shared the poutine (3.5/5), definitely didnt hit the spot for what we were thinking. I guess just stick with getting poutine in Cana-duhhh. Overall would be back just limiting what we order.

They have a few seats for those waiting for their food, but there is no place to dine inside. There are a few tables and chairs outside though. This is a bakery that serves burgers, hot dogs and fries essentially. This place has full pies and cakes, you can also get them by the slice. They have cookies, bars, bread, soups, cupcakes, scones, coffees and teas. As I mentioned earlier, they also have hotdogs, sandwiches and burgers. I ordered the roadhouse burgers with a side of fries. It took them a while to prepare my food. It was about 30 minutes. There were a lot of fries and they were pretty good. The burger was ok. It was luke warm at best and the bacon was a bit over-chewy. It did have a lot of flavor though and was not the worse burger I have had. I just could have been better. The staff there was friendly and helpful. Even though I may not have liked my burger, i really liked this place and the varierty they have. I hope to make it back here soon.

Sunday Brunch day! Today I was craving a nice Omelette, and…read moremy brunch philosophy is always quality over quantity. And since it's officially fall, I couldn't resist adding a little pumpkin flavor to my Sunday with a pumpkin spice latte. I actually started at another restaurant that I won't name. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite meet the moment. I sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes without any acknowledgment from the bartender. I completely understand that Sundays during brunch can be busy, but a simple "Hey, I'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. So I decided to take my beautiful self to HomeGrown. ‍ And I'm glad I did! I knew it was Sunday brunch, so I expected it to be busy. Luckily, there were two open seats at the bar, and I was shown to one right away. The bar was busy, but the bartender immediately acknowledged me and let me know she'd be right with me. That small gesture was appreciated, so I happily sat back and waited. My bartender/waitress, Ashley, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of. My food came out in a timely manner, and the omelet was really good! I substituted the bread for challah, and let me tell you... that was a good decision. And of course, I had to try the pumpkin spice latte. Delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday brunch experience at Homegrown and would definitely come back to try something else on the menu. Sometimes it really is the little things -- a simple acknowledgment, good service, good food, and a little fall flavor. Sunday brunch: redeemed.
