Denny's

40 Courtney Park Drive E Mississauga ON 905.565.6161

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - very american-chain like. standard booths, tables, chair, carpet. Ugly acoustic ceiling tiles. blah flooring. BUT their tables and booths are very spacious, which is great. The good thing about places like these, is that you don't really go there for the appearance. And overall, its not THAT bad.

2) Service - questionable...

3) Portions - large

4) Taste - I greatly enjoy their hashbrowns with eggs. Very good. I would say above average for sure!

5) Price - $10/person, roughly.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - "...hey Rosanne, get the kids, we're goin' out!" ...no but seriously, I guess it's fine after a night of drinking...

2) Service - Not good. But then again, it's open 24/7 and they are probably used to shitty clientele (drunk and such).

3) Portions - good,

4) Taste - not bad,

5) Price - decent.

Rosewood Bistro & Wine Bar

1900 Dundas St W. Mississauga ON 905.855.3913

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - very nice and quaint. You park at the back of the restaurant and walk through a terrace area and the patio to enter. Very cute. The restaurant is distinctly divided from the bar. The restaurant is very cozy, welcoming and unintimidating, although it is a nicer-than-average restaurant. They have painted interesting murals on the wall, play beautiful soft jazz, and the deep, dark wood of the bar area is very inviting. They also benefit fromt the pitched roof, which add an old-world charm to the restaurant.

2) Service - excellent. They have charming servers.

3) Portions - quite large.

4) Taste - very good. Ordered the steak & frites for lunch - the steak was not very tender, I could not really eat through the whole thing. But I would definately go back.

5) Price - a little above average, but not too pricey, and definately worth it.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - kind of high-endish.

Swiss Chalet

6430 Erin Mills Parkway. Mississauga ON 905.858.5849

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - I like their bar-area. In the day it is nice and bright. Their floor tiles are also nicer, offer more friction than in the main dining area. This is a chain restaurant which I love and adore. Mostly booths, some tables. Accomodate for any number of people.

2) Service - great and fast

3) Portions - large, very filling

4) Taste - I can drink the chalet sauce on its own, every day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The fries are also delightful. And of course their chicken is always juicy and fabulous! (this being said, I always order the white meat...I have had a few experiences with their dark meat which was not so favorable).

5) Price - Can't beat it! Pretty much almost the same price for a McDonalds meal but it's sooo much better! Approx. $10/person

C H R I S says do NOT devour this food!

1) Appearance - um, fine if you like Swiss Chalet.

2) Service - fine for Swiss Chalet

3) Portions - not bad if you like Swiss Chalet

4) Taste - Tastes like Swiss Chalet

5) Price - Decent for Swiss Chalet

*NOTE: I only go here because Amal loves it.

King's Noodle House

296 Spadina Ave Toronto Ontario 416.598.1817

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - actually, for a place in china town, not so bad! they've tried to make it look more contemporary, and less "chinese" in terms of those hanging paper lanterns, etc. You do see a few spiritual statues in niches, but for the most part, it's ok. (bathrooms are another issue...downstairs...no locks on doors...cardboard floors...blaaaghh)

2) Service - the place is run like the military. They get so busy, no one speaks english. Someone seats you, another person brings you tea, another person takes your order, someone else brings your order (but you have to remind them)...and so on. But it's fine, they're all hard working and friendly. and there are always servers on break eating the food, which is always reassuring.

3) Portions - HUGE.

4) Taste - sooooooooo goooood. everything just tastes so good. I love their duck. I love their shrimp dumplings with chives...you have to try everything!

5) Price - very inexpensive. Approx. $25 for two people.

C H R I S says do NOT Devour this food!

1) Appearance - busy, dirty, scary

2) Service - busy, dirty, scary

3) Portions - huge

4) Taste - I don't enjoy Chinese food...so maybe there is a bias to my review.

5) Price - great. Amal paid!

Taco Fiesta


35 Mosley Street Wasaga Beach Ontario 705.422.0098

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - small little "shack" almost, just two streets up from the beach. It's not a restaurant, more like a food kiosk. Looks pretty Mexican, i guess, if you're into stereotypes.

2) Service - Fabulous! Owned by a husband/wife snowbird duo, who live in Mexico during Canadian winters, and come service up fabulous authentic Mexican food during Canadian summers!

3) Portions - itsy bitsy teensy weensy little tiny tacos, but they taste SO good and they're so cheap, you can afford to buy lots! and don't forget the fries!

4) Taste - mmmmmmmm. Seriously so good, because they use the corn tortillas, rather than the flour. (yuk, just say no to flour tortillas!)

5) Price - cheapola. $1.50-$2.50 per taco or something like that.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - small, cute, does the job

2) Service - friendly, efficient, looks like a clean place because you watch them prepare everything

3) Portions - small, I wouldn't necessarily go there if I were starving.

4) Taste - really good. Love the refried bean tacos.

5) Price - inexpensive, a great snack while you're at the beach.

Wild Wing

Wild Wing. Mississauga On. Located at the AMC Complex on Winston Churchill

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - the way it should! Tall bar-height tables, stools, wood, plasma tv's, buckets of beer, and wings!

2) Service - there were many servers, but they seemed very disorganized...service was SO S-L-O-W.

3) Portions - order as much as you want and you pay by the pound. The individual wings were large

4) Taste - DELISH! We ordered a few different flavours, my personal favorite was plain-old tradiational honey-garlic! mmm

5) Price - average

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - loud, fun, busy...looks like a wings place!

2) Service - ...were there servers? no, I'm kidding. it wasnt THAT bad. but they were pretty slow.

3) Portions - pretty big, and you get what you pay for

4) Taste - pretty good. I'm not much of a wings fan, but they were alight. They boast 101 flavors! (yes, that's ONE HUNDRED AND ONE different kinds of chicken wing flavours, from candy cane, to terryaki, to penut butter....?)

5) Price - Average

Overall, a fun place to hang out and grab a beer, then go catch a movie, since you're at the AMC complex!
