We very much enjoyed the patio experience on a warm Friday evening. The servers , all approtriately masked tried very hard to make the dining expersience as "normal" as possible. We had the house beer and whit wine - both quite tasty and inexpensive. Then...we moved to two appetizers and one entrée; which we split. The bruschetta was a mix of tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and (surprisingly ) raisins served on crispy bread. The chicken wings that we ordered (Phil’s Hong Kong hot wings) were a new experience - not too hot but the addition of fried star anise was great. We finished the evening with the seafood bowl - everything cooked to perfection and served hot (scallop, prawns & mussels with Thai red curry sauce & jasmine rice). i could have eaten the sauce by itself so flavourful.More

Back in the day, Buchanan's was one of the best business lunch (and dinner!) places to go downtown. A great selection of dishes, awesome whiskeys, and the ineffable Carol or Michael serving up great chops, pasta and salads. Alas, those days are no more as...we discovered on a recent well-deserved business lunch. The place was overly packed and rather noisy - even some Muzak would have been nice. Service was punctual and friendly. A couple of people at the table selected salads or lobster bisque and were satisfied, although the price for the bisque was a bit over the top for a mere cup'o'soup at lunch. Mains of salmon were well-sized, but slightly overcooked. My meatloaf special, was not even close to warm and some of the veggies were overcooked. The days of rock shrimp and Stilton salad are no more and the menu is turning into the usual ho-hum. But at least the place is still open where many restaurants in Cowtown have been forced to close, what with the outrageous downtown taxes and diminished expense accounts. I am hoping that this so-so meal was just an exception, but it certainly was not worth the hundreds we paid with the wines.More

Great Bar, friendlystaff, and Fantastic Dinner... Rack of Lamb and an Old Pulteney hit the spot Bartenders knew their whisky and its still and old school family run little spot. Hidden Gem!

A few friends went out for dinner. I go to this restaurant often and almost always have one the burgers, which are terrific.But this night I was tempted by the short rib and was not disappointed! The portion is HUGE, the meat is just perfectly...done (doesn't even need the sauce, it's so flavourful), and the bacon cheddar mac and cheese is a nice touch rather than just having some sort of potatoes. I'll definitely be ordering that again in the future!More

Went for a wonderful dinner with Special guests and we were not disappointed. We were surprised the place was not packed! Service was pleasant. The drinks were spectacular. The food was delicious with great menu options.

Homey ambience, great food and attentive service. I had the best tomato and basil bisque ever! The seafood bowl was excellent.

consistent, reliable food, prompt service for the business lunch, good selections of both food and drinks
