General Food & Dining Thread

Went to May on Saturday, Overall not a bad meal. Don't know the cost since I didn't have to pay. But had no problem getting a reservation late. Place was quite quiet only about 5 tables at 6:30. But will go back. Would like to try it for brunch.

Went to O'Byrnes downtown after the game on Saturday. Maybe it was the cold, but place was pretty dead for a Saturday night after a big Oilers W.

Is this a trend across bars that aren't on Whyte? Was at Uncle Glenn's on New Years and my group was one of only two who were there. Bummed me out a bit, they put quite a lot of effort into the decor and celebrating.
 
Went to Sabor on Friday evening. Hadn't been in a while, great overall per usual. Still easily top 5 in the city. Was full with alumni game that night as well.

Went to various venues this weekend for Winterruption Music Festival. Any place participating in that was quite busy (Dive Bar, Rocky, Starlite, Cask, 9910, etc)

Splitsville Bowl is known for its modernized take on the classic bowling experience (you can keep your own shoes on), with an emphasis on food, drinks and a variety of entertainment options.

That alone is a huge draw for those of us with weird shaped feet!

Going with work for lunch tomorrow. Will report back!
 
^I went last week with a group had some drinks and appies. Quite good, tasty sharable plates, nice people running it. Feels very big city looking out. Quite a bit smaller inside than I expected but they're going to be building a covered patio in the spring.
 
Just back from our lunch at Fennec. Definitely a positive experience - solid service, excellent non-alcoholic drinks (had the bitter orange and it was full on grown-up tasting), fabulous brussels sprouts, and the beef dip sandwich was top notch. Would recommend. Plus it doesn't have that echoing cavern thing going on like so many places downtown where you can barely have a conversation.
 
Had breakfast at Hathaway's on 124 St this morning. This is the latest to join OEB, Albert's and Brunch Glory for breakfast/brunch places in this neighborhood. Everything was perfect, from the decor to the servers to the delicious food. I'll be back again.

Just a couple of minor critiques:
1. Please provide spoons instead of stir sticks for coffee.
2. Keep the coffee coming.
3. I have this weird habit of drowning pancakes in maple syrup, therefore I could have used more syrup than what was provided.

You could also add May, Malina, Tiramisu Bistro, and Golden Sparrow for strong brunch menus...then a few more casual ones like Farrow, Remedy, and KB&co have decent breakfast offerings too.

The pineapple pistachio pie from Hathaway's is very weird but incredibly good.
