in the last weekChatgpt recommended this place if you have a 7 year old picky eater. So we went here after a day at the Toronto Islands. Our server was super nice and delightful. According to our receipt her name was Mildred. We started with the Korean Fried Calamarib- yum, highly recommend. I asked her if I should get the Smoked Brisket or the Brisket Mac & Cheese. She said the Brisket Mac & Cheese is good if you've done a lot of drinking and need something to fill you. So I had the plain smoked brisket: it had onion rings inside and the meat was moist. However, my side of fries were a little soggy. Unfortunately, both my child's and my husband's burgers were to well cooked. She never asked how they wanted it done so well done might be the norm. They're not one to complain out loud so they reluctantly ate it. I, however, let our waitress know so that future patrons didnt have to suffer through the disappointment. I didnt expect her to tell the manager, who ended up giving us 50% each of the burgers. That was nice. My child was having the $12 child meal which included a drink, main, and dessert. He wanted a cookie, but they were out. Luckily, he enjoyed the sorbet. I can see why people may want to eat here. Great location, large place with many seats, and they make their own beer. I had the Fria Cerveza Especial, which was like a corona.
