thanks all

My friend and I went and had 2 Boneshakers and some food and the bill was over $100. A small piece of corn was $4. Food was ok but portions were very small and I loved the menus...a scrap of paper with the specials scrawled on it.

Meadowvale and Shepherd area

Need some help here, I am meeting up with an old friend in the area and was wondering if anybody knows of any places that serves good beer and food and an outdoor patio would be a bonus.
Thanks for your help.

I think I am the 'something'

Belgian,thank you for the respectfull reply and yes the 'Only' does have a certain charm to it which is why I went at least twice a week for the past 7 years or so BUT a total lack of service is NOT a badge of honor. I accepted this but when there are no customers in your establishment and a paying ...

And the washrooms... yeah, one men's room with 3 stalls is not nearly enough for an event of that size. Last year, they also had the other half of the building open for cooking demos, etc., and there are larger washrooms in there. I went and used that one a couple of times because I knew about it, b...
