Made a reservation for 23 at Hothouse in early December 2025. It was an early evening reservation on a Saturday of the holiday season. Arif the manager was very helpful in helping me set it up. I booked two weeks in advance and they were very easy to reach and responsive when changes needed to be made. The process was painless and everything was good to go when the day came.
The food and service was very good as always. I had experience at this place before, and knew that would be good, but had never booked a big group, and I found it much easier than at most places I have tried.
Every time I eat there I tell them that they need to add the beef bourguignon to their à la carte menu, or make it a regular feature for their Sunday brunch buffet. I'm saying it again.

We've recently celebrated my daughter's honor roll achievement at Hothouse and we had a wonderful experience. We usually go here for Sunday brunch and it's always been our go to place to eat and celebrate! Overall a great time for my family and I. Thank you!

Haven't been in awhile but same great place! Convenient location, yummy Sunday buffet that's truly a great value and best service. Male host very accommodating (female a little less friendly) and our server Chris(hope I'm remembering name correctly) was attentive and friendly. Coffee cups always full, table kept cleared and buffet items regularly replenished and buffet servers also friendly. The place is large and was full and energetic but somehow still able to enjoy table conversation. Need to remember this place more often!

I went for the buffet brunch, and it honestly surprised me in a good way. The price felt fair for the variety they offer, lots of different breakfast items, and everything tasted fresh. The staff were genuinely friendly, the place was spotless, and it had an easy, welcoming vibe that's great for kids and families. They kept the food stations refreshed the whole time, so nothing ever felt old or empty. Overall, a really pleasant brunch experience and definitely worth coming back.

Chris was so nice and helpful. He had great humor as well!
It’s always a pleasure to visit this place. Although I’ve been here a few times before, I continue to enjoy both the food and the service. Today, we were served by Lucia, and she was truly wonderful—attentive, friendly, and professional. We look forward to our next meal here.

A neighbourhood stalwart that defies all the downtown dining disappointments - spacious enough for walk-ins, high quality and generous portions, reasonably priced and consistently friendly service (as exemplified by the excellence of our server Chris during our last visit). This is our local go-to and we are always happy be stopped in.

First time since the menu and space renovation. I must say, I preferred the previous space and menu. It feels like a diner and it's too bright. The menu had some variety, but not a clear theme, despite “Mediterranean” being in the name. The food was good, but I can't say I'll return.

Ordered the salmon, really basic by restaurant standards. It was super dry and did not have any kind of glaze or sauce on it. Service was lagging too, they took forever to just get us the bill.
