Grumblers

There was a light snow falling the evening we went to Grumblers.

It has been many years since I was last here, but it looked inviting.

We entered the restaurant and noted two sides - one which was quite full of people who were mainly drinking and the other, which was empty except for a lone waitress.

We asked the waitress on the empty side "which restaurant is Grumblers?". She indicated that both places were part of Grumblers with the one she was at being also called "The Steakhouse" but that both were known as Grumblers.

Looking around, we decided that The Steakhouse would be our best bet since the other side was quite full.

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful as we decided on our orders that evening. She took our orders but she forgot was to ask how we liked our steak done. This was pointed out by our youngest member after our meals were brought to us. As I didn't order the steak, I never noticed, but the others certainly did - but too late to say anything as our meals were before us.

Our meals were excellent however and we enjoyed our dinner.

Quick service, average decor, good tasting meals at a price that seemed a bit high for what we received.

Total price before tip was $89.21 (no alcohol)

Gonga's Grill

It was a bone-chilling -26 degrees c, on the night we arrived at Gonga's Grill on Brady Street.

We left our vehicle to shiver in the cold as we entered the spartan-looking "diner".

Our waitress quickly arrived after we seated ourselves at a utilitarian table with basic chairs. She handed us menus, asking if we wanted a beverage before our meal.

I was surprised at the extent of the menu. The number of choices on it caused us to take our time deciding on our orders.

Having made up our minds, we told the waitress what we wanted.

The time from ordering to arrival was quite quick and the food looked excellent.

Our taste-buds agreed and we enjoyed our meal.

With a friendly waitress and a bill totaling only $69.18 with dessert (before tip) we were very happy.

If you do not mind a sparse decor, then this place is highly recommended.
