YUM.
It bugs me these days when people are scared of Vegetarian restaurants, saying it's not Hearty enough, or not enough sustenance, or say that they don't want to pay $10 bucks for just a salad. a) depends what you order b) there is so much more…More »

I've come here many times, and just assumed that I was getting a good deal, but never knowing for sure. I know for sure that produce is fresher and cheaper here, but not by how much. As for the other items, I would get berated by my fiancee that I am…More »

It's the first time I went to Il Fornello after I have sworn off wheat and looking for gluten free foods. I'm impressed that a main stream restaurant can provide the options. You can get gluten free pasta (rice pasta - $2), a yeast free spelt crust…More »
7. Alice Fazooli's Italian Grill
We can here as a large birthday party as Dave and Buster's were unable to honour our reservation.
The ambiance is casual and fun, and the food was good. I call it Jack Astors with an Italian twist.
My friend made a reservation ahead of time, but they…More »

I have not a bad thing to say about the place! And it all started from the prompt (1 min delay) when they called me back after a left a message for a reservation.
You walk in, and it's like you've entered into another world. It's like the old town in…More »

I'm disappointed. Why? Because the food was really good. More on that later, but here is my praise about the food. (deservedly +1 star)
There is so much selection. The food was delicious. The plates were hearty and fills you up. There is so much…More »

A bit pricey, but okay.
$5.99 I built my own salad. Comes with 4 veggies+ choice of leaves + dressing + and two toppings (includes nuts and chocolate chips and cranberries...hmmm)
I wanted avacado (0.75) and be careful because she tells me i can put…More »
11. Pho Mi 99
Almost a year after I started coming here, still very pleased. I've come so often I don't look at the menu and write down 201 - medium - special rare beef with tripe, tendon and flank.
I could litteraly come in, order eat and pay within 20 mins. I've…More »

Brunch on a rainy Sunday afternoon with friends. We were able to get a seat in the small place at 12 but after 1pm it got super busy.

I like the place a lot - it's got a bulk section for your organic nuts, seeds and dry things, any sort of gluten free/wheat free alternative you might be looking for, and tons of choice. But there are things that have started to bug me.

I'm really like the food selection here. I have all these dietary restrictions, and they have so many different choices and variety of foods. Also they don't make a big deal about substitutions.
At the same time I was really craving all the yummy…More »

It really has a great West Coast casual feel. I am impressed by the friendly people and staff at this ungodly hour (6am)
Breakfast served all day.
But they also have a great lunch, sandwich, burger and entree menu with lots of veggie options including…More »
18. Union Social Eatery
I actually only found this when I got lost in the area, and made a mental note that this might be a cool place to eat. What drew me to it was attractive is that it's not your typical Keg, Moxies, Milestones, Caseys usually found in these industrial…More »
19. Loblaws
Maybe I've never noticed before, but I'm in love with this location of Loblaws for the following reasons:
- open 24 hrs , close to my work
- has a big prepared food section that includes sushi (got a 12 pc rolls for $8.99) , and $7 entree combo with…More »
