    Try their secret menu item, "Mutton Quesadilla," It's nice and cheesy. I wish it were spicier but aside from that the cook on it was great! The bartender host lady was also very kind. I have been here twice and both times were late night on a weekday, as a result of that the restaurant was fairly empty. I hope to visit back during peak hours to have a better idea of the overall atmosphere. I'm excited to come back and sit on their patio and enjoy a couple cold ones as their patio seems like a great spot to hangout on a warm day.

    Unfortunately due to the fact that I was employee over 10 years ago customer service does not apply to me or my family. I naturally recommend this place to many people because the food used to be high quality and great priced. I took my friend there for lunch 2 weeks ago and received my calamari appetizer that consisted of no more than eight rings cut in half along with several fries that were dropped on the plate. For this I only received $3 off my bill. Overlooking this me and my family 3 days later ordered takeout. The entire takeout order was low quality, missing meat and stale cold fries. The manager responded as we had hoped and provided us with a replacement order for the entire takeout bill. So of course, giving them the benefit of the doubt. We ordered the same items again. When I bit into my Curry quesadilla, I hit something hard enough that it chipped my lower canine tooth. When I called to notify the manager what had happened I told them that I could provide photos of the object I had been into. Which was over a full inch in length and an inch in diameter. He responded saying it was a piece of cinnamon. That is it. No apology and no form of remorse for the fact that I now have cosmetic damage to my mouth from eating his food. I'm assuming since you recognize my last name he figured it was not necessary to uphold customer service and or apologize for the tremendous inconveniences this has been. I do not recommend this restaurant and I do not recommend the management.

    Ordered on Uber eats. Food took extra long to make but still came out cold and soggy. I asked for pineapple on the pizza and it seems the chef took offense to that and sprinkled 6 pieces on the pizza. The chicken club sandwich came with just chicken and bread. Fries looked reheated from the night before. The hostesses were particularly rude forget to hit the hold button so I could hear them insult me and plot not to tell me that there was no manager in at the time. In any case it hasn't been a good experience.

    An English pub feel but the food could us a little improvement. I ordered the French Onion soup, it looked amazing but the taste was lacking. The pepper shrimp was not spicy at all. The service was good but would not come back. The food is just basic nothing to get excited about.

    We ordered the mutton quesadilla off the hot and spicy menu and it was 10/10. It was really flavourful and the sour cream on the side compliments the spice well. We visited on a weekday so the restaurant was pretty quiet and our servers were really helpful and attentive. They have a large menu and a ton of daily specials so we’ll definitely have to visit again!

    This Pub in Pickering has decent daily specials . I enjoy their pastas . The burger was good too. The wings are ok , sometimes they are too dry. Pasta is always good . Their pies are good . Fajitas are excellent.

    Have been here many times and never disappointed. Like all restaurants some dishes are more favourable than others. My favourites being the Curry Chicken (South Asian style) and the Wings and Fries (I get my fries well done seasoned well with a side of gravy). There are many more menu options I enjoy though. Atmosphere has been great and the crowd ranges from slow to extremely busy depending on the day from my experience. Gave 4/5 on Service as it is good but sometime slow.

    Starting off great. Quaint bar, cozy vibe, very reasonable prices, friendly waiter. Then realizing why - soggy quesadillas (in pics, the small plate shows the oil that was dripped out), waitress not coming by for long periods of time, what we think to be her boyfriend vaping INSIDE the bar (my pregnant wife was there), no utensils given. Left after appetizers.

    Honestly all their food is good. Got a Burger with home cut fries 😍. Pro tip: add jalapeño to the burger & a side of hot honey sauce to dip the fries in

    The patio was nice and the staff was friendly. Service was a bit slow and the food (spinach/chicken/goat cheese wrap) was ok. I'll go back again and try the Fish and Chips ans Jambalaya.

    Great food. Most pubs are meh in my mind but I have never been disappointed in taste here. French Onion Soup is reallllly good and cheesy. Their chicken sandwiches are juicy and tasty. Amazing fries. Service can be a bit slow depending on how busy it is, but always delightful servers. Great spot for a quick beer or bite to eat

    I went to Sabina's for dinner with a friend. The restaurant is big, with a decent lay out. The atmosphere is nice, and the restaurant is clean. The staff were all friendly, and polite. More personable than I've seen at a lot of other places. The menu selection is very big, with breakfast and lunch options, as well. The food was not very good, though. I ordered a French Onion Soup to start. The flavour of the broth was very bland, and the cheese was rubbery and also without flavour. My friend and I both got pasta dishes, which had nice presentation and portions, but didn't taste very good. I got the Meat Lovers pasta, and the ingredients felt like there were a bit low quality. I would likely return again in the future, in the chance that this was just an off night for the cooking staff, as the service was really good, but I would more likely consider other options first.

    Our little family has been living in Pickering for almost 3 years now, and this is the first time we've been here, and let me tell you, the menu does NOT lie when it says 'best wings in Pickering' If you live in Durham, you have to try this place. If you don't like wings, their menu is overflowing with other choices. It is also very kid-friendly (in terms of menu) and service is excellent. Lost one star for me because our order took long to come out, but the wait was worth it. Will definitely come back

    I love the taste of Belgian Moon pint in this bar! The staff is welcoming and the food is also tasty and served quickly. Every day there are special offers for the drinks and foods that are so economically priced!

    I came here with a friend for lunch and we had a great time. It was comfortable and casual - with a wide variety of customers, food variety and drink specials. The beers were cold and food was hot. Our server was happy and attentive. Nothing worse than being served by a grumpy or unhappy person! Ours was great. We look forward to coming back again soon.

    Hannah’s customer service was amazing tonight. Had a wonderful evening and wonderful conversations with her as well. She helped me and my family out on picking certain food items and recommending good dishes. She Definitely deserves a promotion or even a raise. Will be back to visit again soon

    We haven't been here since last summer. The restaurant was almost empty on a Wednesday night. Only 3 tables. The food was hit or miss. The 2lb chicken wings with fries $18 were kind of dry and overcooked. The jerk lacked the seasoning and was dry. The lemon pepper didn't have anu flavor at all. The fish and chips $13 were good and came with coleslaw, generous serving of fries and tartar sauce. The server did mix up an order and gave us a meat lover's pizza instead of the meat lover's pasta. It was $14 pasta night, but the server ended up charging us full price on the pasta but we got the pizza free of charge. Overall, the experience was satisfactory and food needs some improvement. Be sure to check out their specials.

    I had a terrible experience with the owner that I think is important to share. We were trying to book Sabina's for a celebration of life for my brother who recently passed away. In addition to incredibly invasive questions about the details of my brother's passing that sounded like an outtake from a forensic TV show, he was very rude - kept speaking over us, and not listening to what we were asking to do. Up until that time, we were still prepared to go forward - it's just business, right? We weren't shopping around for new friends. We just wanted a place where our family and friends could gather to celebrate and remember my brother. Now, here is why I am writing this review. As we looked at the menu to decide what to serve, and were costing it out (we needed to know we could afford it, right?) he leaned over and said 'Why are you thinking about the money? Your brother was rich.' We were simply shocked at his rudeness and insensitivity. He was aware that our brother passed only a few days ago, unexpectedly. WHAT KIND OF PERSON TREATS GREIVING FAMILY THAT WAY? He kept repeating that as we left the restaurant, telling him we would hold my brother's wake elsewhere. We will be paying more, and I am fine with that. What is most important for me is that we have a place that will treat us with respect and where we can connect with the people most important to my brother and say goodbye with food, fellowship and drink. Can you imagine if this man aaid that to my mother, or said some other equally tasteless and rude thing? We dodged a bullet by not booking at Sabina's I can tell you. Too bad no stars isn't an option. How you treat people IS important.

    We decided to dine at Sabina's on the 17th of June upon the recommendation of few friends. It was our 1st visit and we were very haply that this restaurant stays open late during the weekend. 5 out of 5 on how good the food tasted and the portions. 5 out of 5 on the EXCEPTIONAL service by Amma. We found her to be super knowledgeable, very pleasant and our 1st visit turned into a sheer delight being served by Amma due to her above & beyond hospitality. We shall definitely be coming back. I am giving the place 4 stars instead of 5, only cause we feel that the ambiance could be improved a little. The entrance inside could be a little more welcoming. Otherwise a million stars for this place.

    The place was very busy. The waitress was attentive and listened. The prime rib and Au juice was delicious. Caesar salad had just the right amount of dressing, real bacon and shredded Parmesan. The fries were perfect! The wings were large and moist.

    Good service and food at reasonable prices. Staff diligent on covid-19 safety protocols. Only comment would be washroom facilities should be upgraded to touchless.

  • 4/5 Terry P. G. 3 years ago on Google
    Unusual location for a pub style restaurant , but after entering there were a few regulars who the staff knew by name , always a good sign for a pub, Large indoor seating and a very large patio. They feature daily specials and a very good crafted Sabina draft. Cassie my waitress was very friendly , tried their wings and fires which was just OK. All of our local restaurants have been hit hard during Co-Vid 19, Please get out and support our local restaurants.

    Giving 3 stars even though I actually had a horrible experience. I decided not to leave a low score as I do not believe the place deserves a low rating, the food is okay and *most* of the staff are so friendly. But there is one waitress that is extremely rude. The service was SO slow. (I understand that probably comes from short of staff, but to leave people waiting over 40 mins and not once give an update or come back to the table to ask for refills on drinks and then on top of that be rude...) This is such an easy fix, just be friendly to your customers. If it's going to be a long wait for food? No problem! just tell us that when we sit down or offer to bring salads out first or something.

    Visited this place and it was worth a second visit too. A great menu with a big selection. Food is actually great quality. Fresh, prepared professionally and tastefully. Portions and prices are very reasonable. Service is great. The bar has a big selection of drinks. I would recommend it.

  • 1/5 ron p. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant has bad quality food. However, the server did her best. But the food is of poor quality and not worth the money. The restaurant looks run down and dirty needs a major renovation . We would only recommend this place for a quick drink and that’s it !

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is clearly one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Whenever I go there I am incredibly pleased. They always keep their very high level service and the highest level of dishes they serve. You definitely will enjoy this this place. Warmly recommended.

  • 2/5 Bernice F. 2 years ago on Google
    Tried this place for the first time - it's run down, messy and service is slow. The food although fresh looking and decently presented, lacked flavour. Would not recommend. Visited on Nov 11, 2021 for lunch Ordered spinach and artichoke dip, pan fried salmon and Cajun chicken wrap

  • 1/5 [email protected] N. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress was awful. Not once did she come to our table to see if we were ok or needed anything. Not once. I'm very upset I left a tip. She remembered our order correctly but never came back to our table after food was served. I had to go to bar to get Bill. Awful. Will not ever return due to bad service.

  • 4/5 Shane C. 2 years ago on Google

    Food and atmosphere of the pub was decent. Service was slow, the restaurant was not that busy however. Ordered the Buffalo Chicken Crunch with fries and was packed with flavour.

  • 5/5 Bob B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had take out for a large group of seniors after our last hockey game of the season. Ordered pizza, wings, fries, shrimp and all were excellent. Food was ready on time and staff and Suren were masked and as always, very helpful and friendly. Thanks so much!

  • 3/5 Chris R. 2 years ago on Google
    It was very good as it was recommended by my friend. I wish I had a little longer to stay and enjoy my evening but had to catch a movie. All in all, they had a great selection of music playing.

  • 5/5 Milesh P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food is amazing. We had the wings and the pizza. Wings had great flavor (ordered roasted red pepper) and a good amount of meat on them. Pizza was a very decent size and the prices were really good for what you get. Great value! We will definitely be going back!

    One thing that truly impressed me about this restaurant was its diverse menu. There was something for everyone. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain each dish, making recommendations based on individual preferences. They were attentive and ensured that each guest had a memorable dining experience. Overall, the diverse menu at this restaurant truly impressed me. It catered to a wide range of tastes, offering a variety of dishes that were expertly prepared and full of flavor. If you’re planning an event or simply looking for a satisfying meal, this restaurant is a great choice. Will visit again soon.

    Sabina's restaurant is fantastic! They warmly welcomed me in with a warm smile and with great attitude! The service was also fairly fast which is great as I was in the rush! The food was also so flavorful and savory, it's on of a kind that I truly cherished and was shocked by the taste. It was an incredibly good experience and would recommend this to everybody who is interested in a one-of-a-kind cuisine! 5/5 for sure!
