Two years ago after finally moving in to our first house, my husband and I went out to celebrate with our friends Mike and Jen at Redwood Grill. Our real estate agent highly recommended it as a local gem of a restaurant in the Clayton Park area. It is a neighbourhood favourite nestled in at […]

My husband and I have been going to Tom’s Family Restaurant with our friends for dinner for a while now. It is huge so even on a Saturday night you never end up waiting around for a table or booth for more than 15 minutes. Lower Sackville does not offer much competition, ranging from a […]
