Another location that is so easy to drive by without knowing it was ever there, located in a small plaza off of Dundas st E and Universal Dr this hidden gem has been a favorite of mine for a while.It's easy to forget about this place as the location is so reclusive but it does come with a private lot for parking and we all know how happy that makes me!! YAY!
This restaurant specializes in European Cuisine and is large enough to handle big parties and events which they often hold like Fri and Sat where there is DJ's and live music present. A large layout with a full dance floor offers a lot of space to move and dine in comfort that being said the decor is a little dark and dreary for my taste which is mostly because of the lack of windows however it is not the worst I have seen either.
Service here I do find inconsistant though, it can be absolutely amazing at times where other times it can be lacking significantly so it is a bit of a gamble. However there has never been a time that I had to wait for a table and the food service is fast and efficient so it does make up for the less then desireable service you can occassionally recieve.
The food is traditional and delicious!! The portions are huge and the quality of the food is good and consistant as well; they have a Borscht soup that is literally to DIE FOR! No joke it is hands down the best I have EVER tasted and I am part Russian! Prices are competitive too considering the portion size your recieving and the menu offers a large variety but if your looking for light and healthy food this may not be your best option as their meals tend to be a bit heavier offering a lot of deep fried breaded schnitzels and things like that.
They have a full bar with a pretty good selection of wine and beer, I will admit I mostly come for the soup here and the odd dinner so I cannot really comment on the drinks but I have not heard any complaints from anyone I know that goes there to have a few drinks with friends.
If you enjoy hearty, traditional European cuisine and love a good bowl of Borscht then head over to Orbit and dine without the worry of your car getting towed ;)
