I've been living in this neighbourhood for 5 years now and it's changed quite a bit. A lot of seniors are moving out to downsize and young families are moving in. This spot used to be the old Rose and Thorne bar, and now it's the new South Shore Bar and Grill. It opened on Wednesday and we went today with the kids. Although it's more of a bar still, they have a kid's menu and kids eat free on Sundays!!
The food was VERY GOOD. I was surprised, to be honest with you. We ordered the Saturday Ribs n Wings special, nachos and kid's chicken fingers & fries. The ribs were meaty and tender - very good, in my opinion. The wings were good to very good and the chicken fingers and nachos were very good. Fries were very good also. The restaurant gave us dessert on the house, to our surprise. A banana and chocolate type of cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
All in all, I would say the food was very good. The ambiance - a bit too dark for kids, and there was a lot of open space (I would suggest adding more tables or possibly booths). The prices are very reasonable - total cost to us was $32 plus tax and the portions were large (especially the kid's - for only $6 we got chicken fingers, fries and drink).
We will definitely be back and I'm hoping more people give this place a shot!
