| - After reading the stellar reviews for this restaurant, and having contemplated many times on going, but upon second contemplation, never actually having went, I decided to finally head to this east-GTA gem. I thought this was going to be a surefire hit given all the stars this place has racked up...right??
But alas fellow yelpers, I think you've gone a little over your head with this one.
Here's the scorecard:
Ambience: 3.8/5
- Yes the 0.2 points from a 4 count. The resto/bar offers a pretty standard ambience akin to other chains like Milestones, Scaddabush and Joeys. I felt it was a bit of a cross between family dining and a lounge setting. The central bar offered the typical loungey oasis that cater to executives and tired 9 to 5'er's. While surrounding the bar spanned family style dining furniture that felt more reminiscent of a Jack Astor's or Montanas. Just kind of a discord in design IMO. So naturally I felt a bit disjointed upon entering. Is it ok to shoot one back here? Or do I have to worry about the kiddies?
The main event: 3/5
- We ordered the two most popular items according to our very jolly waitress. All critique aside, she was attentive and very pleasant, so cheers to providing good service Smash. Let's start with the pizza, the Poseidon. It wasn't half bad. There were some good chunks of shrimp and lobster on there..so points for that. It was a thin crust and the flavor was savoury but not too overwhelming, as seafood can sometimes be. The second entree, the infamous Lobster Mac-N'Cheese was good but not spectacular. There were about 3 large chunks of lobster meat, but after having gobbled those, I wasn't really gung-ho in finishing the rest. Let's just say, I've had better.
Last thoughts: Would the food have been more of a hit in their Unionville location?
