Trio And Lounge - Vaughan

We got a living social coupon brunch for 2. The booking was no problem. On the day of our reservation, the car would not start so we weren 't sure if we could make it. We called the restaurant and asked to move the reservation to a later time, which they accommodated. The restaurant called back to inform us that the buffet was only until 1pm and that they just wanted to let us know that it may not give us enough time to enjoy our meal. We thought this was very considerate of them. When we arrived, the service staff was courteous and friendly. The selection of food was fantastic. I couldn 't really give this full stars for 2 things 1. When we called up the living social voucher on the phone, they don 't have a scanner and would prefer a printed copy. We had to email the voucher to them but the living social app really doesn 't have that functionality, so we ended up gifting the voucher to Novotel (This restaurant is inside Novotel) so that they can print it out. This was not the fault of the staff but if they were going to use living social or Groupon for promotion, they should consider to make the experience easier for coupon buyers. They did try very hard, but for the first half of the meal it was a bit frustrating coz we were constantly checking to see if they received the email. 2. The variety of food is fantastic, but I stuck mainly with the cold cuts, fruits and salad selections. This is because the hot food like the scrambled eggs, bacons, sausages, etc, were just lukewarm. It 's possible that it 's due to the patrons not closing the lids after they opend it. The server did, however, promptly go and check on the gas burners when he was informed. Overall, we enjoy it. I think it could be better and it will be better, because the staff were definitely interested to listen to and help us through the mishaps.

Pleasantly surprised to find that the dishes are authentically Indonesian as opposed to inspired . I 'm always on the lookout for really good ethnic food, and this fits the bill. My shrimp had a nice bite, not sure what spices were used, but it was really good. Atmosphere was nice, upscale and quiet. Service was good, as expected for a boutique hotel. Would come again and try other dishes. I see several posts on chicken, so curious to see how that is.

Nice bar and restaurant inside the hotel. Sheila was personable, knowledgeable, and a delight! Our brunch the first morning was confusing. Even though one of us ordered off the menu and I just wanted coffee we were expected to know to help ourselves with no directions from the server. In a foreign country I 'd rather not assume, ten minutes later I politely asked and got a snarky 'I can serve you if you like. ' I got my own coffee. We ate here two more times throughout our trip and drank here often between going places. Never had a meal but shared appetizers. They were all good. Had the calamari and shrimp twice with a great dipping sauce. We also had the delicious Asian infused wings. Nice place for being inside a hotel and isolated from nearby attractions. This will change within the next two years. The area seems to be developing quickly.

Savour York Region 2012 give me an opportunity to try out Trio Restaurant Lounge in Novotel Vaughan. I usually don't go eat inside a hotel restaurant... I don't know why... but I always think something is lacking and restaurants in hotels are usually meh... unless you are talking about boutique hotels! Intermission (drinking wine) The Portion here is great for a prix menu. We ordered everything aside from the veggie option (none of us feel like having whole wheat linguine) and all A-OK. All the orders are regular portion, I ended up sharing with my Yelp friends. Intermission (sipping wine) service is excellent! And waitstaffs want to do separate bills for us even before we request that! $25 prix menu is excellent value! We were full and happy ......... maybe too happy!

Nice restaurant. Great look and feel. Too bad they made us feel like we weren't welcome here though. My partner came in with a protein shake from the gym and even though we had already ordered, the manager needed to make a point of coming by to tell us that his protein drink was not welcome. They literally asked to take it away from him to throw it out? WTF?? Are you for real Trio? I understand that you have a policy but your policy is broken. You are literally telling your paying customers that they are not welcome if they come into your restaurant with an outside beverage? Let's be honest, there are lots of other places for me to meet clients for lunch and thanks to this move, Trio will not be one of them.
