| - I have been to this restaurant a few times during Blue Jays game days and I had a great experience each time.
The restaurant is located inside the Renaissance Hotel at the Rogers Centre. The decor inside the restaurant is fairly modern, the service efficient, and the atmosphere is pretty casual. I went with a few people so we made reservations and requested to sit next to the window so we could watch the game. Note: Seats near the window fill up quickly during game days so it would be wise to call ahead of time and reserve a table next to the window.
The type of food offered is typical pub fare food. They offer a decent amount of items on their breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus including several items that are good to share such as the chicken wings, nachos, quesadillas, and french fries. We ordered chicken wings and nachos which were all a good size to feed 4 people. The chicken wings were really good as well as the french fries (sweet potato fries option available) and the nachos were VERY cheesy and covered in toppings throughout the entire plate (chicken, cheddar & mozzarella, tomato, scallions, hot pepers!) - I was pleased to find that they had not been skimpy with the toppings.
For my main I ordered the crispy breaded fish sandwich (cabbage slaw & spicy mayo included in sandwich) and a side order of fries. The fish sandwich was delicious and the fries were fresh. The portion size was fairly large and cut in half so it's also good for sharing if you really aren't hungry. For dessert I had the creme brule cheesecake which was heavenly consisting of a smooth and rich cheesecake topped with a crackly sugary coating. Very good and a recommendation for those of you who are fans of both creme brulee and cheesecake!
The service was wonderful. The staff friendly and I liked how they allowed us to serve each course slowly throughout the evening so we could stay and watch the game.
Overall, great experience and a very cool alternative way to watch the game while in the Rogers Centre. The food is pricey but you would probably spend just as much money on food inside the stadium in addition to paying for tickets. The atmosphere was pretty cool - not so loud but everyone in the restaurant was giving each other high fives and doing the wave every time something good happened. I would definitely return to this restaurant again during a game day!
