My Experience:
I rarely ever give five stars, so listen up and believe the hype.
Been going to Smash since it changed over from being Blu Stone Bistro a few years back. From the food quality to atmosphere to the service, everything is always spot on. I've enjoyed a meal there at every time of the day, and I've never found time when Smash waivers in quality.
The food quality is always on point, whether it's for brunch, lunch or dinner.
For Brunch, Smash makes the best eggs anywhere in the GTA. Any egg dish will be a hit, particularly the Eggs Benedict (Crab cake & Florentine are my personal favs). The french toast is also a great choice or even the chicken and waffles!
For lunch, their Firecracker shrimp and Ahi Tuna Wonton's are great starters, and any of the pizza's are great for sharing, Neptune, Nova Scotia and Smash Lovers are my favs. If you're particularly hungry, the Monster Burger (with the onion ring and fried egg) is bragging right to conquer.
For dinner, the BBQ Baby Back Ribs are a must have, but the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Brick chicken are great protein dishes. The lamb shank is spot on as well. For pasta, the Chicken Mushroom gnocchi is great as well as the Lobster Mac & Cheese. If you're lucky and catch the Lobster risotto (usually a daily special) it is amazing, lots of lobster with am amazing risotto.
The staff is always friendly, very knowledgable and accommodating. The manager, Jason, is always upbeat and takes a hand on approach to make sure every customer feels welcomed and at home.
A perk of Smash, is their private rooms. They have two private rooms, and one segregated section
Hands down, one of the best kept secrets of Markham.
