Be Patient, You May Not Have A Waiter Anytime Soon. Good Thing the View is Great!

The food was okay. The view and patio are great with views directly onto Toronto Harbour and great people watching along the tree-lined promenade. Service, on the other hand, was abysmal. I was one step away from ordering from UberEats. It was over 30 minutes...More

Nice Outdoor Patio

Good place to go on a hot night but don't expect the food to match the view and location. It was a busy night and the staff were working hard. We managed to get good service once we got the attention of the waiter. Two...More

Great view and location

The view of the lake compensates for the taste of food. Don’t get me wrong, food was average tasting . The outdoor patio was nice especially the fire place.

Great atmosphere. Poor Service

I wanted a special lakeside restaurant with a patio for my husband and I and our out of town guests. It began very well. Our young hostess welcomed us warmly. The outside sofas were very comfy. The lake view was beautiful. Beyond that the service...More
