I had an amazing time at Manor Lounge– it went beyond my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, and the team was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

We tried most of the games available, including darts and the escape room, and it was such a fun experience! Everything was well-organized, and the activities added a great touch to our visit.

The new menu with the fresh drinks is fantastic! I’m already looking forward to coming back to enjoy those drinks again. Highly recommend this place – we’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

Absolute best trivia in the city hosted by the amazing Brendan! The staff are so fun and welcoming and the escape rooms are incredibly well thought out and immersive! Favourite spot in the city by far! We love stopping by every week!

We have such a great time here every Trivia Tuesday. Food has overall been really good, and I enjoy the Nickel Brook beers they have on tap.

We've also done the escape rooms which are really fun, and plenty of other great games.

Vegetarian options: Two great options for mains: Korean BBQ tofu, and a chickpea bowl. Also love the cauliflower wings. Many meat options can be swapped out with a vegetarian/vegan option too.

TL;DR: Long wait for an underwhelming meal.

NOTE: this review only applies to the brunch menu. My partner and I love manor lounge for their escape rooms and as a bar in the evenings. Brunch, on the other hand, was pretty disappointing.

We walked in because there wasn't any line, so we assumed the service would be pretty quick. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting quite a while for the food.

Once it arrived, the food was pretty underwhelming. One plate was missing the biscuit promised on menu. Upon receiving the meal we asked the waiter about this and were brought toast, which was fine. One of the eggs in the eggs benny was overcooked, basically hard boiled. The potatoes, which on the menu are described as "smashed", were essentially just boiled and fried whole (closer to a baked potato - again, this is fine, but just not as advertised). We would have been happy to mention all this to the waiter ourselves, but at no point did he actually ask how the food was.

Overall, won't be going back for brunch, but would definitely go back for evening activities.

Great escape room location. Food and service is great. Rooms are good do need a little sprucing up but was still very enjoyable.

The menu looked good on the website, so we made a dinner reservation for a Saturday evening date night. When we arrived, the place was not full by any stretch of the imagination. We were taken to a table, except that the host whispered something in the server's ear about expecting a large party, so they moved us to a high top. A high top? There were many empty tables and we were moved to a high top. We wanted a real table. Add to that the strong aroma of marijuana everywhere. We have no problem with MJ whatsoever, but we would like to be able to smell our food. The aroma was pretty distracting. We walked out. Very disappointed.

Brunch YIKES!
First off, I wanna say that this only relates to the brunch. I went in with a friend on the weekend of the army run, and I have to say that we were sorely disappointed. The server mentioned that they were running a little behind, but we waited over an hour for the server to come see us (one wonderful lady sadly working 15 tables).
Once we were able to finally order our food, things did not get much better. In retrospect, we should have left long before this. But we saw some pretty promising things on the menu, which compelled us to stay. The food was really not something to write home about. The homemade biscuit was just a run of the mill English muffin and the coffee was mid at best.

Our real shock was when we went to go pay our bill. It had been 25 minutes since the server had taken our plates and so we went in to pay the bill ourselves. When we got inside, the manager told us to go back to our seats and wait until their server came. I was really really shocked. I am certain that it isn’t like this every day, but I was really not impressed and I don’t think I’ll go back again.

Had a lovely dinner with my friends this evening. Went in to celebrate my birthday and the place was beautiful. Thank you to our wonderful server Cat! You made my night incredibly special.

Amazing staff, super friendly!

This is a bit of a late review but my friends and I were walking by during a bachelorette and was greeted by one of the staff opening the front door for the night, right away they were so funny, welcoming and overall great vibes. Throughout the night they were making suggestions for drinks, joking with us and making sure we were having a good time. The drinks were amazing, they have a great selection of games and the fries were really good. I’d highly recommend going with friends

I had a rather unpleasant experience to say the least, HOWEVER, when I explained the situation that caused my displeasure, the manager was more than happy to work with me on finding a solution that my group was happy with.
