Best Restaurant in Canada

W	Wally Walinski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time bowling in years, and we made a good call choosing The Ballroom. The centralized location helped, but the experience was a genuinely good time. Sure, they could have used a better beer selection, but what stood out was the service. Everyone we encountered was courteous, friendly, and fun. They even gave us some additional time for free when we were running low with a few frames left to play on our second game. Particular kudos goes out to Gabby and Anastasia who, although it's all part of the job, did give us the VIP treatment, and made us feel very welcome. It was the sort of good vibe that makes you want to come back to a place, and I would certainly be glad to come back again here.
K	Kristen SSJ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The overall experience here was incredibly suboptimal. First, we had a reservation for 745pm, we did not get set up till 815pm. We had reserved 2 lanes and it was a little upsetting to have to wait 30 minutes when it was empty, no one else was bowling when we arrived. then, one of our lanes were not working and we were met with a less than positive attitude when we asked about it. we had originally booked 1 hr to bowl and 1 hr to eat at a table and the waitress was not aware and so had to double check everything when we were ordering food. she also made it seem like it was such a hassle to split the bill for all of us. we were then told that we had to stay in the bowling area to eat as there was no table available for us. eventually they got us a table which was fine but when she was clearing the table of some of our plates, she was in such a hurry she spilled ketchup on my white shirt. In summary, the staff were not that nice and it was poorly organized. Honestly, i would not come here ever again, and if asked, i would not recommend it to others.
P	Pearl Wang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went bowling + food twice with friends. Bowling was fun but I would recommend skipping the food here. Although, there's a selection of pub fares available, I was not impressed by the quality of their food. Their prices for their food is hard to justify based on taste alone. Bar staff were friendly and you can also order drinks while you bowl.
M	Mr Fix-it on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went here with a friend after doing some work in the Toronto area. I really enjoyed it, i had not heard of this place before, but it was neat. Bowling, pool tables, sports bar... good atmosphere. The food was really good, prices weren't too bad, it wasn't too busy while we were there mind you it was very late. The waitress Kate was fantastic, very friendly, never forgot about it us, always made sure we had drinks, you can have a great conversation with her also.
C	Chloe Hsu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friend and I sat at the bar, we ordered drinks and food. Chicken wings is cold, the cocktails does not taste good. The atmosphere is off, doesn’t feel like a bar. More like a restaurant that plays club music. But the waitress is kind and checks on us a couple of times.
M	Mohit Pradhan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A decent place to party on the weekend. Highly recommend booking bowling a couple of days before you plan to go here. Food is average. Drinks are a tad bit over priced but compensates for the over ambience of this place.
S	Stephen Nurdin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited here as part of a works doo and we organised a 10 pin bowling session. The ballroom looks great inside, the food was very good and the service from the staff was excellent. There are a number of bowling lanes, pool tables and other amenities. We all had a fantastic time and will definitely come back.
J	Jackie Lopez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best and first class experience we had, our group had a fun time and to see them all relaxing and having fun, especially having to deal with covid working from home and being overworked. We'll be sure to come back with a new group! Thank you so much for the experience especially for a first time. Million thank yous!
