Friends visiting from Australia and thought I would take them out to the famous lobster dinner at the newly opened Jumbo Lobsters on Leslie St, Richmond Hill. What an embarrassment!
We arrived at 5:30pm and ordered the set menu like everyone else and it contains a 6 lb of lobsters, a 8 lb king crabs and 5 other dishes. 6 lb became 6.85 lb and the 8 lb became 8.5 lb, which was expected. The surprises was all the other dishes came first including the fried rice, veggie and steamed fish and the two main seafood came last. We were seated on a table which obviously was way too small for this set menu for the 7 of us. Some dishes had to be transferred to smaller plates which greatly degraded the presentation and hence enjoyment.
Through-out the next 1.5 hours, no one was there to change plates, refill tea pots and hot water, no plastic gloves until we asked, no toothpicks and no serviette, just a deck of cheap tissues papers.
Services were rushed as each seating is limited to 2 hours. After we finished, dessert was served and it was put on top of all the uncollected dishes still on the table.
Sharp at 2 hours, some young busboy came to our table and told us loudly and forcefully we must now leave as new customers were waiting for our table 😡
Set dinner was $699 on the menu, we ended up paying $939 which included all the extra pounds of seafood, taxes and 12% automatic tips.
Never would I go there again. With that kind of money I expected service and a no rush dinner. The place was loud and we had to raise our voices to carry out a normal conversation. This is definitely a tourist trap and the restaurant only care about rushing us through. You have been warned !

What a beautiful restaurant in the middle of nowhere and the long walk up a steep hill is well worth it. It’s fine dinning with prompt service, an extensive wine list and a sophisticated decor. The food were above average, but with room for improvement and all priced reasonably. Would recommend it if you are looking for a finer restaurant in the Lisboa.
Been playing at different courses this season and came to the conclusion that Emerald Hill is on top of the list. Other than a great course design, the maintenance was top notch. More importantly is the quality of the members, they fixed divots and they didn’t trash! And the club management was also fantastic and always took immediate action to ensure its operation running as smoothly as it could be. Thank you Brad, Mike, Dan, Tom, Aaron, Paul, Dino, Monica and Gil. You guys rock.
Good clean indoor golfing facilities with easy booking and access. Everything is done online. It’s reasonably priced at $20/hr. No attendant so one must have the access code to enter. The computer system could be a little daunting as it is complicated and not very user-friendly. However a quick call to their tech support will always have the problem resolved. They use a special tee and most people keep losing the smaller ones. Would be nice if they could serve beers in their vending machine 😋😋
