I wish i could say the same for the glassware, there were a couple whiskey glasses that had jagged edges, which is super dangerous; for an venue this expensive, I would hope there's attention to detail for this. Food was average (lobster roll/tomato bisque for appetizer, duck for entree - duck was cooked perfectly - skin was crispy, meat was tender, sorbet/tiramisu for dessert), service was very slow.

When it got to my time to shop for wedding venues, I booked an appointment and met with the coordinator. The appointment did not disappoint. The venue is very beautiful, just like the photos with lush garden, beautiful fountain, and an air of dreaminess. The manor itself is very spacious and there is lots of photo opportunities. Even just coming here for a photo session is worth it in my opinion (and more affordable). The neighbourhood isn't as nice as the manor, it's stuck beside an apartment building which is kind of interesting but can easily be avoided in your outdoor pictures.

Not a large space (about 4 acres), but beautifully manicured and landscaped. Almost every plant had a sign/label so it was easy to know what you were looking at. There were tons of staff working the grounds and the gift shop had a lot of educational books and videos. A great place to relax. Parking is $CDN4 an hour, but the entrance to the Gardens is FREE.

The location was a bit hard to get to since we decided to take transit but that is only a minor issue. The real bright spot is the staff that work there. They are super friendly and very efficient. Nothing seemed like too much of an issue for them. You can tell they take a lot of pains to hire the right person for this type of job. The event was a cash bar and they were a bit slow to process people paying by tapping. This could easily be improved with today's technology options but this did not take away from the overall experience.

I am not Greek, and I don't practice Christian Orthodoxy, but when I was given the opportunity to…read moreattend a dinner celebrating the 2017 graduating class of the Toronto Orthodox Theological Society, I figured I might as well attend. After all, worst case scenario was that I'd get a lot of wine for my trouble. The Metropolitan Centre in Scarborough is a fascinating event hall that wears its heritage proudly on its sleeve. It was a bit overwhelming - and a bit humbling to walk in here for the first time and take everything in. This is a sprawling space that offers some of the best food I've had at an event hall in a very long time, and the event was an interesting and fascinating experience. We enjoyed salmon, salad, roasted red peppers, mini potatoes and all the bread and wine we could handle. And the baklava. OH MY GOD THE BAKLAVA. And it was the nice, light baklava that was handmade. I ate like half the plate when they brought it - don't judge me, I'm a growing boy. I will be the first to tell you that I am not literate in Greek culture, so it took some time to acclimate to their customs. When in doubt, kiss the hands of your elders and hug everyone you can. It was very interesting to see the reverence the assembled guests (including several politicians) had for the academy, which is affiliated with Saint-Paul University and teaches young men to be priests. This was definitely an experience I won't soon forget, and the venue was classy and filled with good times and great food. If I ever have the chance to attend the Metropolitian again in the future, I'll be there without delay. Highly recommended.
