Great patio in a quiet neighbourhood. A definite gem in the area. I highly recommend this as an option from the usual current restaurants. Great pub food and brunch breakfasts and other menu items with a twist.

Went their for a friend’s birthday and our server James was an absolute gem! He had great menu suggestions and provided exceptionally friendly, attentive service. The food was delicious as well. We had the mussels, calamari, cauliflower & sausage. The carrot cake and Oreo cheesecake were both amazing as well.We will definitely be returning!

The service was great. Waitress was very attentive and answered all of our questions easily and clearly. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and it just tasted like Spaghetti Bolognese. Not sure if this was on purpose or not but I would not recommend that dish. The fries were great though.

After a bike ride in the neighbourhood, my partner and I decided to have a beverage at the Twin Otter. This restaurant or anywhere else around the vicinity does not have a bike rack. We parked our bikes away from the entrance of the Twin Otter and out of people's way but close to where we were sitting by the patio so we can move them easily if need be. Note, there is a doorway between the restaurant and the patio. We have been to this restaurant 3x and food is below average; however, servers are friendly. We support local businesses; hence, my partner and I went for drinks at Twin Otter after our bike ride. Unfortunately, we were treated poorly by the owner.There was a one man band that evening (a fantastic performer). The performer sat with my partner and me during the intermission. While we were talking to the performer the drunk owner asked the performer to speak with him when he was available but time flew by and the performer never spoke to the owner. Owner returned the second time to speak with the performer. We were sitting outside and our bike helmets were on our table so the owner knew the bikes belonged to us. Owner purposely squeezed between the ropes and our bikes to get to the front entrance of the Twin Otter to smoke and chat with the performer. The performer told the owner that he shouldn't go that way and there's more room going around the bikes. Owner also told other customers to walk through the ropes and between our bikes to get out of the patio. Owner stated loudly that bikes should not be parked on the pavement. His action of walking between our parked bikes instead of walking towards a more opened space showed he didn't care if he tipped our bikes over. Owner thought an e-bike is a motorcycle and needs a license plate. Owner took the same way again (i.e. in between our bikes and through the rope) to get back inside the restaurant. Owner told the performer to follow him but performer didn't listen to him again and went through the rope where there was more space to get back to the patio. If the owner asked us politely to move our bikes, we would of.Due to the owner's unprofessional behavior, we will not return to Twin Otter and we will tell family members, friends, and co-workers to avoid this restaurant. It took a lot of me not to speak to the owner regarding his ill behavior but I didn't want to make a scene with a drunk person.

Note, there is a doorway between the restaurant and the patio. There was a one man band that evening (a fantastic performer). The performer sat with my partner and me during the intermission. While we were talking to the performer the drunk manager/owner (MO) asked the performer to speak to him when he was available but unfortunately time flew by and the performer never went to speak the MO. MO returned to speak with the performer again. We were sitting outside and our bike helmets were on our table so MO knew the bikes were ours. MO purposely squeezed between the ropes and our bikes to get to the front of the Twin Otter to smoke and chat with the performer.

Due to the MO's unprofessional behavior, I will not return to Twin Otter and never recommend family and friends to visit this location. May I add, I have been to this location 3x and food is below average; however, servers are friendly. We still went to try and support local businesses; hence, we went for drinks only after our bike ride. But unfortunately we were treated poorly by the MO. It took a lot of me not to speak out loud about his behavior that evening but I didn't want to make a scene with a drunk MO.

First time ever going. Was an absolute great experience I had the honor of having James as my server/bartender.The service was amazing and was so nice to be greeted by such a friendly face.I was well taken care of and asked about drinks and asked to suggest something fruity and light and was not disappointed by what was brought to me. I WILL be coming back and bringing company. Till next time! Please tip your servers ❤

Food was fantastic. The Manhattan is an awesome smoked drink. Highly recommended the chicken sandwich and cheesesteak. A must go to if in the area for sure. Great aviation themed decor and a ln awesome atmosphere. Will be back.
