“I have been coming to the Press Gang for 20 years and while the owners have changed, the stunning atmosphere, delicious food and fun service have not. So great to see. The play list however an insufferable list of AM hits from the 70/80's. Doesn't make me want to hang around the bar and have another cocktail.“

“Oysters are quite good, but the lemons are too limited for one dozen of oysters, and the shape of lemon is a little hard to squeeze. Scallops are amazing!Highly recommend this dish! The mix of crispy sesames, cilantro and soft sweet scallops is one of the best match I’ve ever tasted in my life!Tuna and fries is a good dish to share. The fries are not so oily and the tuna is fresh.Duck breasts are so juicy! I’ve never had such good tasting duck in Canada before.Pasta fiori is a little too sour for me.We ordered three cocktails and both of them are wonderful! Especially the one with sage!“

Our table personally prefers the Chicken over the Beef Kebabs, but both were amazing.Didn't get photos of everything we tried, but we'll be back for more!Vegetarian options: Grilled Halloumi Cheese was served over fresh tomatoes, cucumber and arugula. Pair this with one of their Hummus dips and you're setting yourself up for a vegetarian friendly evening filled with good food!“

“First time visit. We had the Dinner breakfast offering. The cost was approximately $19.50. I have to say WOW. The plate consisted of two pieces of thick bacon, two eggs, two sausage of very good quality..not greasy or mealy. Home Fries, salad along with an aoli to dip. A large piece of toasted foccasi. I just loved the presentation and the flavor. Service was very good... attentive server and very relaxing atmosphere. Coffee was above par. Ceaser for an opener ( very tasty) I also had a speciality coffee for desert. An offering that I hadn't seen in other establishment. And no I don't know the owners or staff! Highly recommend to try one of the breakfasts/ brunch and then determine yourself if this is one of your go to places. Yummy..getting hungry again. Cheers.“

Truly though, the flavour... I don't know if I can accurately describe how good it was! I thought about taking a picture after we'd finished it. (We got the New York 9")Two hours later my boyfriend turned to me and said "we should have ordered one for later, to take home!"“

Kitchen tried to rush the meal to make up for the delay and our spinach dip was still cold in the middle. Overall the food was good and I would return to try the food again.“

“We started off by asking for a mocktail. The server made us her special mix which had a tropical/peachy taste. Personally not a fan of mocktails, but I would order this one again from how good it was.We got a Schezwan Chicken Katsu for appetizer. It was phenomenal. Surprised it's an appetizer and not a main dish. Would give that an honest 10/10. Star of the night 100%For the mains we ordered donair gnocchi and the burger with fries.For the donair gnocchi, it was very flavourful. The sauce wasn't too sweet which we really loved. The gnocchi was very soft and fresh.The burger was worth the price for sure. I feel like the caramelized onions with the mayo i added for a personal preference made a great pair in the sandwich. I asked for the same mayo they put in our Chicken Katsu appetizer. (Yes it was that good)We ended it off with a brownie. It had a dark chocolate flavour and was rich. The raspberries on top were not overpowering it, I personally don't prefer fruits with my chocolate but i surprisingly liked this pair.In general the food was an easy 10/10.Service was outstanding (sorry I don't remember her name, but she was great and understood how we wanted our food and drinks made). 10/10Bathroom was clean and tidy which is always a good thing to see. Well done and definitely coming back again for the Chicken Katsu!“

“If you're looking for an "asian" flare to your seafood dinner, this is an excellent choice. The oysters were fresh and good quality, and the rack of lamb was amazing as well.Seemed like the night we went it was quite busy, and with that, we sat close together with our neighboring tables. Thankfully the folks next to us rotated in and out, so we were not in between two tables that were dining at the same time. But you'll be too busy eating your delicious meal to notice once the food hits the table!“

If you order a lot of veggies maybe ask to have it be cooked well done, and you're golden.
