The Royal Canadian Legion #264

This used to be one of my favorite places. I used to make a habit of going here at least once a week all throughout the pandemic, even with the reduced menu.It's extremely unfortunate that one encounter with a host that is incapable of thinking past the one sentence that she was trained with can change a persons desire for a place, but it is the case. It could have been as easy as her offering us a place to sit in the entry way to download the new QR code, instead of the old vaccine record that has been more than good enough for me to patron this place up until a few days ago. If she had just used a bit of her head, instead of standing on a pulpit and talking condescendingly to me and my partner. Lucky for me and my friends, I live in Kensignton, and there are MANY other options.

Extremely loud restaurant, drafty, no salt and pepper shakers on table. Heavy on pushing alcohol. Mediocre food.

I wish I could give a better review, because the food was actually really good and our main server was pretty good as well, however the first 20 mins made be never want to come again. We live a few blocks away and I keep meaning to come, we sat ourselves on the patio and had servers pass by us multiple times with no acknowledgement, so I went inside and asked a lady if we could have some menus because we had been out there for a while and no one had helped us. My issue here is she did not simply just say “sorry here I’ll get you some menus” she went on the defense and told me it was my fault because we had come through the patio and we didn’t do what we were supposed to do and even though the other servers passed by us multiple times it wasn’t their fault. I understand there are reasons but I don’t need to hear them and all I asked for was menus not a 5 min lecture about what we should have done. Overall they made me feel more unwelcome than I have at many other places and as a customer I do not want to spend my money on staff who think my presence is an inconvenience versus treating me like a valuable customer. This is how you lose local business.

Some guy gave this comment about extremely loud and no salt and pepper shakers on the table?It is not loud and if you ask you will get salt and pepper.And they are not pushing alcohol there because kids(families) are allowed in.The staff are very friendly and it's a nice place to chill out and have a nice meal.

Members lounge is beautful. The server was awesome.

Go for the fish and chipsFood is cold &horribleVery disappointed

Terrific food, thoughtfully prepared and served. The steak sandwich was best I've seen while the Rueben was truly worth a return visit it was so good. Modern, clean and friendly. A gem that won't hide for long.

Truly mismanaged, if you hadn't ostracized all your members after the big move" you wouldn't be in this predicament."

As a proud member , My wife and I enjoyed the first rememberence day ceremony in the new 264 legion building .

I'm torn between giving a great review and not giving one because this is such a good restaurant, I want to keep it all to myself. I've eaten there several times and each time the food and service was excellent. The steak sandwich is amazing, their 1918 burger fantastic and you have to try the 1918 Red beer on tap which is now my favorite beer. Kudos to the kitchen staff for the great meals.
