    Really? No one else has reviewed this place yet? I was staying at the Hotel attached to Casey's for a few nights and ended up hanging out at this place one night. Call me crazy but I think the bartender was trying to get me drunk. Boy did he make a killer bloody mary. It was almost as good as the bloody marys I use to buy at the "World's Greatest Bar" at the top of the World Trade Center.

    Having lived in NYC and Austin but never visited Canada until now I would put the pricing up there with NYC.

    I enjoyed a thai tenderloin Salad - can you say "OMG delicious". Why does this have to be a gazillion miles, customs, passport, and airplane trip away.

    Because dinner was so wonderful I went back the next day and tried the Chicken Strips which apparently are hand battered on site, and they definitely taste like it.

    oh yeah... and if your mouth and tummy are already wishing you were eating here right now...I didn't even talk about the Bacardi Rum Cake... shhhhhh it's too good to talk about, really. You would hate me if I went into the details of this ever so amazing dessert.

    The service of course was phenomenal - whether the bartender was trying to liquor me up or not he was still entertaining and attentive.

    Part of me can't believe that this place has gotten such high reviews.  It wasn't horrible, but definitely not the shining experience that everyone else seems to have experienced.

    My boyfriend had received a gift card for Casey's so we decided to go before meeting up with some friends.  There are no Casey's restaurants in South Mississauga, so getting to any location is a bit of a hike.  

    We both ordered off the seasonal menu.  I ordered the pork medallions with sweet potato mash and TM ordered the lobster mac and cheese.  I enjoyed my meal.  The meat and red wine sauce were great (especially since it was a chain bar/restaurant) and I'm a sucker for anything with sweet potato.  TM on the other hand had the opposite experience.  He couldn't even finish half of his meal as it started to make him gag.  Personally, I didn't blame him.  The sauce was more cream than cheese and the lobster was tasteless with an odd texture - somewhere between rubbery and moist.  There was a breadcrumb topping, but it lacked flavour as well.  The only thing edible about it was the side salad it came with.

    Now, I can forgive a bad dish, especially when the other was good.  Sometimes things happen.  What I can't forgive is slow service, especially in a half empty restaurant.  We waiting close to 30 minutes for our food and another 20 minutes after eating for the bill.  Once we were all ready to pay, I had to hunt down our waiter to process the payment because he failed to come back to us.  I found him chatting with a friend of his.  Sorry to interrupt your conversation!

    The real disappointment was finding out AFTER we paid that the gift card was also good at Fionn MacCool's and other restaurants.  Ah well - lesson learned to always read the fine print.

    Thanks to a WagJag deal my husband and I went here twice.
    Both times for dinner.

    The first time, we shared the Burger2 with fries.
    We also ordered a side of sauteed veggies extra.
    I was not a big fan of the burger since I felt it was kind of bland.
    I can't put my finger on it, but something was missing. I just didn't enjoy it very much.
    The fries were great though. Golden and crispy - just the way I like it.
    The veggies were very good as well. They had a nice flavor.

    The second time around, we got the Chicken Quesadilla to start with and we shared the Turkey Burger with fries for the main.
    The quesadilla was great! It came with a really enjoyable salsa too. Definetely something I would order again.
    The burger was decent, the fries were as good as the first time.

    Their service was good both times.
    Menus and food came quickly. The waiters were friendly and attentive.
    The second evening, the manager even thanked us several times for coming.
    Redeeming our vouchers was no issue at all.

    My verdict:
    Definitely not a bad place to have quick dinner.

    Had just arrived and was staying at the adjacent hotel. Really good bar food. And, outstanding service. Perfect for the hungry, newly arrived visitor.
