Not sure when they did the reno and changed the name to Stanfield Grill but it's still a family restaurant overall.
I guess it was out with the Mel's Diner fixtures (I'm dating myself here!) and in came the booths, dark wood, stack stones and the like. If I'm wrong, then the owners years ago were forward thinkers.
The clientele are mostly locals and regular. They were packed for late lunchtime. My buds and I had the fish and chips and two Wednesday specials (Burgers, Poutine, Pop). It was standard diner fair. Nice size burger patty that look homemade with a decent serving of poutine. Tasted quite good.
The have a full bar, and something different on the food menu each day. The wait staff are friendly, helpful, honest - yep...told me what I would definitely no want! LOL!
Worth a return trip if I end up in that part of town again.
Cheers!
