We held a party here for my boot camp clients on a Sunday night for about 25 people. Jason was really wonderful to us, from planning the party with me, to communicating in a timely and helpful manner, to ensuring we were well taken care of that night. The food was delicious and the gluten-free options were perfect. Our awesome server Marisol was attentive, professional, and lovely. The Park has a great vibe and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Plus we love the tree! It's such a great menu too, with beautiful food, lots of tasty gluten-free options, and big fat chicken wings in delicious flavours! Having enjoyed this restaurant as a private diner, and a party member, I can say that they are absolutely consistent with their food and service. I happily recommend them and will definitely be back for more!
The Park is amazing. Food and service plus the patio is absolutely perfect. I love coming here. Oh and the kids menu has an option of salmon, which blows my mind. My son loved it so much! I Highly recommend eating at The Park.
Excellent restaurant. Good food reasonable prices and nice decor. Tuesday’s special included pizza for $12. Excellent. The fish and chips was truly a great dish. Huge portions.
Excellent pub/restaurant that struck a perfect balance between the two. The interior is beautiful resembling a community park with a big tree as a focal point. The music was not too loud to drown out your conversation (which seems to be trending in this city). The food was excellent. My partner and I both got the breakfast scramble and had the brie appetizer which I highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Decor:
clean and nice ambiance. Easter Sunday lunch and surprised that there was only a handful of tables.
Service:
very friendly and attentive staff. not just our server, but also the hostess attended to us quite regularly. and both were quite pleasant.
Price: very fair
Starter:
Calamari - ok... a weird mix of "non-committal" flavourings. served on a bed of marinara sauce, topped with black olives, shaved parmesan cheese and arugula, and a side of tzaziki sauce and a lemon wedge... is it italian? is it greek? is it create your own flavours? if so, the marinara should also have been served on the side. marinara doesn't go with tzaziki. add to that the batter wasn't crispy all the way through, doughy in the middle. don't think i'd order this again.
Chicken & Waffles - a pretty decent take on the traditional recipe. instead of regular maple syrup, there's a maple bourbon butter sauce that tasted more like a buttery caramel sauce, instead of butter and hot sauce, there's a sort of spicy whipped cream they called chipotle cream. all in all, quite good. the best part of this dish wash how the chicken was cooked perfectly. tender and juicy, not over cooked and dry as sometimes chicken tenders tend to be. easily our favourite dish today.
Brussel Sprouts - cooked in a balsamic and honey concoction... really disgusting... nothing about this was good. the brussel sprouts themselves were overdone, but the worst part is the balsamic and honey. these flavours just plain don't go together. at first we thought it was too sweet, so the waitress brought us another one, but it didn't help. the whole thing was just plain wrong. feel like whomever is in charge of the menu is just plain trying too hard to be creative. a big miss here. the menu stated "Tender brussel sprouts fried with bacon, pecorino, balsamic crema, garlic & lemon", but you couldn't taste bacon at all. all you could taste was the overpowering balsamic. maybe the worst thing i've ever eaten anywhere. just really bad.
Entree:
Wild Mushroom Pizza - all the ingredients were of the usual fair for a mushroom arugula pizza with truffle oil, however, the execution was off. we've had this dish all over the place. from Famoso's to Via Cibo to pretty much everywhere else. the difference is that, here, they put the shaved asiago on the pizza BEFORE baking it. what this does is turn the cheese into a hard and chewy mess. others got it right to put the parmesan on after baking. much softer and way more appetizing. this method made me not want to have another slice after the first one. asiago and other hard cheeses don't melt and become soft like a mozzarella, that's why others don't bake it.
Steak and Eggs - asked for rare and they baked it. quite often, restaurants have trouble making a rare steak. it'll usually be over cooked or completely too cold in the middle. this was done well. probably helps that it's a very thin steak. fantastic grill marks and tasty. only issue was that the menu states that the meal was served with a side of fruit. if you look at the picture, you will see two small chunks of cantaloupe and a sprig of grapes. that's all. a bit dissatisfied with that. plus the playing was nothing special. good thing the steak was good. eggs were also poached perfectly.
Breakfast Scrambler - this was good. or t least good enough. nothing too special. but done well. only issue, it was super hot (temperature wise). it was served on a hot plate that was so amazingly hot, the first bite burned the somer's tongue and kept so long intake the meal. once we were done, you could feel how hot the table under the skillet had been. not just warm, but after half an hour or more of sinking, the table was surprisingly hot.
Overall, the food was just average, except the chicken and waffles, that was quite good. pizza was disappointing and the the brussel sprouts was not edible at all. we'll likely give this another try, but pay closer attention to the menu when ordering so as to stay away from the more "creative" dishes. i think if you stick with the known, you won't be as likely to be disappointed.
*** props to the manager for comping our Brussel Sprouts. that was unexpected, but certainly appreciated. classy.
Checked out this place after taking the dog to south land/carburn park. Has a very nice interior and layout. The server was friendly and knew the specials. Husband ordered the Cajun chicken club and I ordered the daily special which was a corned beef panini. The side mac and cheese was very good, husband liked his sandwich and the corned beef panini was great. Could taste all the ingredients from the garlic aioli to the onions to the mushrooms and the corned beef. We were both too full for dessert so didn't have any but imagine it would be good. Will definitely be back to check out brunch.

I've driven by this place quite a few times and never gave it a chance so just today I decided to pop in with a friend and try them out for a late lunch or early dinner.
I had ordered the I he tuna tacos with a side of Caesar salad and had a Belgian Moon pint of beer. My friend had the Surf & Turf burger with sweet potato yam fries.
I didn't try the burger but I did have some of his fries and they were fried to perfection being definitely sweet and perfectly crisp. The tuna tacos were equally as good as they were hiding a little bit of Ginger crunch in the middle and was not overly sauced.
The Caesar salad was also good but you can't really mess up chopped lettuce unless you over unless you over sauce it which they did not. Even the croutons tasted light and fluffy yet crispy as you can tell they were made in house and not from a big or store box. Washing it down with that Belgian pint of beer was quite nice.
Adding to the experience was a really nice interior and great service. They had a fake tree in the bar. The tree itself with a really nice prop peace that made me think of a Rainforest Cafe except more mature and sophisticated.
Definitely going back to try more great items on the menu. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes a nice clean modern dining space.
Came here the Sunday of the long weekend. It's a really great space. Lovely decor. There are lots of places for big groups. Service was great, really friendly and quick.
5 of us got the Sunday feature, prime rib. It came with garlic mash, steamed broccoli, and Yorkshire pudding. Broccoli was cooked perfectly, garlic mash was very tasty. Prime rib was also very well cooked. Yorkshire pudding was a bit sweeter than I've ever had before but I like sweet and savoury so I didn't mind.
Would definitely go to this restaurant again. There were a number of things on the menu I'd be interested in trying.
First time to this restaurant for my birthday. It was super spacious with tons of booth seating which I like. The menu has a variety of different options and prices were reasonable. I got the ahi tuna entree which was sesame crusted with bok choy and rice and came with a tangy, spicy sauce. Very good and a great portion too. My hubby got the Fresno burger and he really enjoyed it. Finished and shared the raspberry chocolate ganache and bottled cheesecake with my family. Totally recommend the cheesecake but it had a lot of whipped cream. Totally had to work off the calories. Definitely would come back again.
Really great service!! Brook was top notch, just like my top nachos!! Would come here again and again and again. I do recommend this place thoroughly.
Just came here for Mother's Day brunch and was totally impressed! Our server, Kristi, was very attentive and just a doll. The spread was delicious, not a ton of options like some hotel brunches but unlike those brunches most items were homemade and high quality. It was great to see the owners serving up the food. You can tell they really take pride in their business. I will definitely be going back to The Park to try some of their other delicious dishes.
Beautiful spot! Love love love the decor... You will see for yourself from the moment you walk in. They also have a good size patio, I can't wait to go back this summer. Menu is huge with tons of options making The Park a great location for any group! Everyone was left satisfied and happy with the endless choices. Cold beer on tap too.. Can't go wrong!
Lovely place! It feels very homey, from the decor, to the furnishes, to the tasteful uniforms worn by the staff. Everyone was very friendly, the food was good and the $2 oyster special on Wednesday's is a great deal for some fresh tasting oysters. This location would make a great place for those who are trying to find a local bar to make it their regular watering hole.
The Park Kitchen and Bar is a leader in food quality, menu variance, and the ability to provide celiac safe food! This place has become one of my top places to both go to when I’m in the city, as well as confidently recommend to celiac folk and non-celiac people alike!!
What makes them so good for celiac? Dedicated fryers, the ability to offer almost their whole menu (with some substitutions of course), breaded chicken and fries (yes, fully gluten free!) as well as knowledgeable servers who know what the word celiac entails.
If there was a place that deserves to be in business and thrive, The Park is one of them, just for their compassion to give celiac people an inclusive experience.
To say I enjoyed my meal is an understatement! I had the lemon Mediterranean pasta. This is a MUST HAVE AGAIN MEAL. I loved every bite. So good. Shout out to the chef! Thank you for such a delicious lunch. I will be back for more. Also my server was excellent. The whole place killed it today ☺️
The food is great! We had burgers, the one I had with goat cheese was amazing. highly recommended trying the Mac and cheese side! Very yummy. On the expensive side as far as typical large restaurants go, but worth a treat. Very spacious with many seating options, including bar and patio. Patio has cover and heaters, it's a great spot on a nice day. Kids eat for $5 on Tuesdays!
Keep coming back to this place because I really enjoy the ambiance of it. Our server was very attentive, food was wonderful, especially because the kitchen helped to accommodate my keto diet o twist on the Asiago chicken.
The wine we ordered was delicious (pictured). And the cheesecake dessert was just the right portion for two of us to split!
Will gladly go back again. Love this place.
