The Water St. Cooker - Burlington

What a Gem. This place has it all. Great View of lake Ontario, great dynamic menu, and great service.<br/ <br/ I had been here about 15 years ago and really liked it then but had not been in the area. I found it to be one of the best all round dinning experiences of my like.<br/ <br/ Every detail mattered and all the staff seemed to be very on all the ball. It was great to see contemporary dinning were service still matters. <br/ <br/ The menu is very diverse and has something for everyone and the wine list is really good also

A comida é muito boa, com variado cardápio, com destaque para as carnes. Mas o grande diferencial é a vista do lago, no meu caso com a sorte de ter arco íris ao entardecer.

This is a very popular venue and getting a window seat overlooking the lake requires much pre-planning and reservations (but it is worth it). We went for Sunday Brunch and every table was taken. The Brunch tables offered quite a good selection of food. There was an omelet station, salads, cold and smoked seafood, seafood chowder/mussel station, meat-carving station (beef and pork), pasta, potatoes, bacon, sausage, Belgian Waffle station and cheese/dessert station. Something for everyone! (Coffee, tea, and orange juice are included too.) Prices are reasonable and they offer adult/children/senior rates. I do know that they serve dinner as well, but I am not sure whether it's buffet too. (Please note that the restaurant is not accessible and is located on the second floor of the building.)

The dinner was nice, staff was friendly. The portions could have been a bit bigger, however the service was fast and our server was lovely.

Just back from Easter brunch. The food selection is very good with everything from a waffle station (my favorite) to roast beef and seafood. Omelettes were a bit disappointing and lacking in flavour. Nice to have a Mimosa offered to start, too. We were 5 in number, and not one had a complaint about the food! Given that we all have dietary concerns, that is a miracle. I do wish they would clean up the restrooms, however. Such a disappointment to walk into a very odorous and not so clean looking room after a lovely meal. This has been the problem here for at least 25 years and is one of the reasons we rarely dine there. I know the building is old, but surely a bathroom update is within the realm of possibility. Can't be a lack of funds as the place is always busy. Come on, Management. Clean up!
