  • First impression walking in from the parking lot: this doesnt look like what I imagined...it's in a small plaza and looks like a small place. But, the restaurant is quite large on the inside and very modern looking with a bar + family restaurant feel. Before I even had a chance to take off my jacket someone came by to give me two glasses of water. Our main waitress came by shortly after to take our drinks order and as we were looking around (just to check out the ambiance) another waiter came by to check up on us. Our server was good and he replaced my white sangria with a red once I said it wasnt that good (and he checked up on me to see if I'd like the white). So, I'd have to say really good customer service. Menu has a variety of foods ranging from paella to burgers and pizzas to sandwiches and salads and the typical mains like ribs, chicken, steak, grilled salmon. What was interesting was the fusion dishes on the menu like ahi tuna wontons and eggplant tempura tacos (the tacos was on their Easter weekend menu). Check-in with Yelp to get a 10% off voucher on food (food only, not drinks). I had the ahi tuna on a wonton crisp to start. There was a bed of slaw with peanut sauce between the wonton wrapper and tuna. The serving was too big to fit in your mouth in one bite but you'd have to "smash" it apart to eat it otherwise. it was decent...kinda felt like chef tried a little too hard to make it "asian" with the typical asian ingredients (wonton wrapper, peanut dressing). Also had the lobster rolls ($16) which I didnt think was great. Not a lot of lobster meat and it was overpowered by all the minced onions. Came in a trio of mini burger buns that could've used some toasting prior to being served. Main entree was the bbq chicken pizza. Had cashews and and corn kernels on it which was interesting but I dont think I like having it on my pizza. What I did like was that it was a tomato sauce and not bbq sauce as the base...the taste of bbq sauce was mild and in just the right amount. A bit too much cheese. Centre was soggy so I prefered eating the outter half which was thin crust and crispy. My gf likes this pizza but I dont think I'd have it again. The two bourbon drinks on the menu were not to our liking. The vanilla bean one was too sweet and was more a girly cocktail. The second one (starts with an "n") didn't have any citrus in it so not the way we like our bourbon drinks but at least it wasnt as sweet. The Smash caesar was good but could use a little more clamato juice in the blend. It's pretty spicy! Liked that it came with a pickled bean, olive and pepper. Sangrias were just okay. i liked the fresh fruits stirred into it. Sundays are $5 caesars and sangrias so I got both. Overall, it was a good venue but I dont think it'd be top of mind for food choice in the Markham area and I wasnt able to find anything to really rave about except the service and ambiance.
