Comfort Food Restaurants near Whitby, ON

“We had the spinach dip, well good I don't think it was broiled enough or warm enough. The service was lacking, we asked three times for more pita to use with the dip, the waitress walked by 5 or 6 times and kept saying it's coming but it never came. We were disappointed with the service so instead of ordering more, we paid our bill and left. The service was very much lacking.“

“Had a delicious patio lunch today @ The North location! That Goat Cheese & Walnut Salad is my absolute favourite! Service was great!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My visit to Swiss Chalet was amazing. I usually go every now and then at a different location and it’s nice but my experience was outstanding this time around as I received stellar service from Josie. She was so caring, kind, and paid attention to detail. I definitely will be coming back.“

“The absolute worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Inadequately trained servers, the "manager" definitely could use some serious customer service training AND training with the payment system as he struggled with processing our bill. The food was served cold. We order a Chicken BLT wrap just before our meal ended To-Go and after waiting over 50 minutes for our takeout, we were told the takeout was busy with takeout orders for customers?? excuse me?? what are we?? We had just ordered 2 bar drinks, an appetizer and 2 main entres, so I guess we are not a customer. Unbelievable!! And then the manager proceeded to be combative with us when we began to rightfully complain. No apologies, no discount, nada! No surprise this place has a low rating...THEY'VE EARNED IT! 👎“

“My friends and I enjoyed our lunch. I ordered a Steak and Noodle Salad and it was very tasty, however, the steak was quite tough and I found it difficult to chew. I managed to eat half of the steak serving. I am a frequent customer at Milestones and have always been very pleased with my menu choices but not this time.“

“Great food and service. Loved the garlic bread and ribs. Thanks!“

“The Oak is a great neighborhood pub. Yesterday after work, a friend and I stopped by for lunch. Noah was our server. The professionalism from this young man was outstanding. He was completely on point, and I can't remember ever seeing someone do a better job. He represents the pub amazingly good. This type of service will keep me coming, and I'm recommending this pub 5 stars? thanks Noah!“

“This is the best dining experience I've had in a really long time. I had mixed up the closing time and arrived 10mins to closing really hungry. Which already felt like I had to order and rush my food from the greeter's demure. But then Trish the dish Aka Trisha was our server and she made our dining experience memorable. She was patient, absolutely funny, and great company. Almost felt like we were having an exclusive vip dining experience. Food was also awesome. Now that's true customer service. I wish I could give Trish 10 stars. Next time I go there I'm going to ask if Trish is working and ask to be seated in her service area. That's just how amazing she is. She turned my already bad evening into a delightful one.“

“We were a party of 4, one member of our group had serious mobility struggles . All staff around us went beyond reasonable expectations, demonstrating so much patience and making efforts to accommodate some irregular requests. The staff was so considerate and helpful, I can begin to explain how helpful it was in a stressful situation. Their kindness did not go unnoticed … service was top notch - food was alright - mashed potatoes were terrible but otherwise, would recommend ! Thank you.“

“We had the best night thanks to Elia. We were so glad we chose to dine in the bar area. Wow ! she was amazing . It was a super busy Friday night and she took on the dinner rush like a pro. Taking care of all the bar drinks with the servers and the tables in the bar section as well. We really enjoyed the food it was hot and really tasty. The level of customer service was so appreciated. Our garlic bread starter got missed and she apologized and made sure to make it right by getting it for us right away. To top it off she got our dessert covered dessert which was really unexpected. Thanks for such a great dining experience. We will be back.“

“Maria was an amazing server. We needed to be in and out quickly, and she was so accommodating. Our food was brought out promptly, and she checked on us often to make sure everything was to our liking. She even gave us a sweet christmas card. Will definitely come back again, highly recommend.“

“I have always loved this restaurant, the food arrives quickly and Is always hot & fresh, nice waitresses, make you feel at home“

“We recently went for a family night out and had dinner here. Linda was our sever and was fantastic. Not only did she entertain my terrible “listen Linda” jokes, but she had some funny jokes of her own. Dinner was delicious and Linda checked in on us frequently. We will definitely come back.“

“Great food and service every time!“

“I have a permanent disability, and I came to this restaurant to celebrate my grandma’s 80th birthday. Our waitress was named Sarah and she provided our table with excellent service. She took all our orders properly, and had the food served so quick, considering we were a larger group. My 3 children were quite loud, and yet our server was extremely patient and tolerant of my noisy kids. Most waitresses would never be so tolerant. Dessert was very good also. We had a very good time and a delicious meal. We will return next year.“

“We went to Symposium for our anniversary and what an amazing night! Our server Jaime was beyond amazing. Extremely welcoming and fantastic customer service. I recently came home from a trip in Bermuda and asked the bartender to make me a 'Bermudian Rum Swizzle' and Sawan did not disappoint! He nailed it right on the pin! The food was delicious and compliments to the chef! We also indulged in their tiramisu cake as our dessert and my goodness, the flavor! So fresh! All in all, an extremely wonderful night thanks to Jaime and Sawan!“

“Lovely staff, attentive and friendly! Generous portions and delicious food! I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered the Greek souvlaki, the chicken was so tender for both meals! Would love to come back and try the fish and chips!“
