    Diners at O&B Canteen would love a more diverse menu. There are lots of vegetarian options, but not many nice entrees for omnivores. We love the restaurant, but the menu needs attention. We did love the grilled salmon meal, but there need to be more options. We come down to the area often, so would appreciate more choices. Thanks.

    What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!
