The food here is really overpriced. For Brampton, the menu is expensive but below par(no pun intended) for quality which equals overpriced. Its 30−40% more expensive than the local chain restaurants yet not as good which is sad because the big chains aren’t even that good. The service is above bad but below good which is another negative for them. The only positive this place has going for it is that it has an overpriced par 3 golf course attached to it(actually, thats a negative followed by a positive so I suppose its a neutral). Wait! Its nice inside! Thats a positive!

Went to Nine18 today for Mother’s Day brunch and was pretty disappointed. Please note this review is solely based on the food, as the restaurant setting is beautifully overlooking the golf course. The Mother’s Day brunch consisted of a lot of cold salads i.e., pasta, tomato and Boccaccio, smoked salmon, some hot plate items such as pasta, potato, and beef. There was an omelet station and dessert table. The omelet was decent but comparable to when you eat at Marche. At first glance the dessert table looked good, but unfortunately they were very dry and not flavorful(at the end of our seating the dessert table looked untouched). I would not recommend this restaurant. For 4 guests, including 1 mimosa and 1 Caesar, our bill was $ 198. To the point, this place is overpriced mediocre food.

Had a late lunch with my girls today out on the patio! Beautiful scenery and good food. The food was good but nothing really outstanding and you get what you pay for. The view of the golf course was nice and just a calm atmosphere to be in for some drinks and chit chat. Service was good as well as our server made sure we had everything we needed.

Went here with the family for my mom’s Birthday celebrations. We enjoyed the Corned Beef Sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup, Mediterranean Penne Pasta and I had the Seafood Linguini. We finished the meal off with Nine18’s rich and delicious cheesecake. I can speak for the Seafood Linguini and say that it came with plenty of calamari, shrimp and muscles which were all delicious in a light tomato sauce. Nothing unexpected but pleasantly delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and there was a nice view from the patio out on to the golf course. The service was standard and the overall restaurant wasn’t too full which made for a good place for conversation. I would visit here again with friends but not if I was in the mood to be adventurous as there is good selection but quite conservative.

Good food… bad service and quite pricey for what you get. I had the Montréal smoked meat sandwich which was amazing. The service was not great. I had to keep asking for my water to be refilled-hate that! The positives are the funnel cake was to die for and the washroom are spotless with nice soap and cream.

It is a clubhouse restaurant locating inside the Turnberry Golf Club. The restaurant is very spacious. It has a very nice view overlooking the golf course on one side of the windows. The fireplace makes this place feeling cozy and it is also practical for the colder weather. I was all warmed up by sitting near the fireplace after golfing at a temperature of only 12c. There is a smaller open-air/covered patio area facing another side of the golf course and the landscaped garden terrace and tent. The washroom is clean and spacious and best of all, it provides hand lotion:) This restaurant opens from Mondays to Sundays from 11am to 11pm. There are good selection beers on tap; good deal on daily specials; as well as good and friendly service. The $ 3 each fish taco on Friday is an awesome deal and it is yummmmmy! Although this place is a bit far from my area, I don’t mind come back again at all!

Food was good, server was fairly prompt and courteous. Did not appreciate a 17% non negotiable gratuity. If you’re thinking about bringing a group here, be prepared to pay out the nose. Welcome to the new régime… The tip-tatorship.

This place is unbelievable! I have now been there in the summer and winter and it was awesome both times. In the summer, the patio balcony was beautiful, the food is always amazing and the service is great, but the real story happened last night. We are currently having a huge ice storm in Brampton. My best friend and I went to Nine 18 for dinner last night and the power went out multiple times in the restaurant. The staff was extremely accommodating and relaxed. We got free shots and desserts without even asking for them. This was probably the first time ever this friend and I have gone out without one of us driving. We absolutely could not find a cab anywhere even after an hour of trying. The staff tried as well and actually waited with us until we could find a way home at the end of the evening. Whoever the manager was on the evening of December 21st, 2013 and our server, Shawn were amazing! Even with the power out and our transportation issues, it was still a wonderful experience and I would 100% go back again! This time I’ll drive though, haha.

I have heard wildly mixed reviews about this place. However, I’ve been multiple times and love it. The patio is one of the most beautiful views for a patio in Brampton(that being said, there’s not too much competition in that department…) and the entire building is gorgeous inside. However, it’s not overly formal or intimidating in any way. The food is reasonably priced and always good and my servers have always been kind and attentive. My one criticism is that the menu has been the same for as long as I’ve gone there and so could definitely use a revamping.

Managed to visit the restaurant here twice in one day(breakfast, round of golf and then a quick lunch). Hands down, the worst run establishment I have witnessed in North America. How’s that for statements? Breakfast: We made reservations for 8 for breakfast. Simple enough. The building is quite lovely to look at. Natural elements all around — stone and wood but with clean lines, flat screens everywhere(it IS a golf-based establishment, after all). Private room available, etc. Hardwood recently replaced by carpet… golf shoe damage, possibly? We were seated almost immediately. A quick count showed roughly 40 – 60 tables available, not including the covered patio with tables, a more relaxed area with couches, a fireplace and another flat screen. Add to that another patio overlooking the first hole and it is quite pretty. The Service: 10 – 15 minutes to take drink orders. There were 3 tables occupied when we showed… and a hostess on duty. We were handed 5 menus… for 8 people. Eventually our orders were taken for breakfast. 6 people ordered off the menu and 2 ordered poached eggs instead of the standard scrambled, sunny side up, etc. 6 plates arrived in a barely acceptable time(two ordered were incorrect), but it was another 15 minutes before the poached eggs showed. 25% of our table hadn’t received their orders by the time the rest of us were finishing up. Apologies from staff, but poaching eggs take 3 – 5 minutes. I’ll leave it at that. I can only blame the servers for not checking more frequently on the hold up(I say again, there were 5 other patrons in the restaurant, so it wasn’t busy). Golf: Its a pitch and putt. 3000 +/-yards. Two par 4 and the rest par 3. Not bad. My dad has horrendous issues with his knees so we rented electric carts, but were informed that it was cart path only = carts weren’t allowed on the grass so you had to walk almost as much as you would if you didn’t rent a cart. We lubricated my dad up on beer as much as possible, but he was dragging by end of day. After our round, we were going to drive the carts to our cars to drop our clubs and change shoes, etc. Staff instructed us that no carts in the parking lot. What!!! It must be an insurance thing, b/c in all of my 30+ years, I have never witnessed this rule. Could we get a ride to our cars? Nope. Bastards. I lugged my dad’s golf clubs and my own to the car park just in time for 5 golf carts to whiz past me with golfers going to their cars. Apparently, they knew people. Staff: get your story straight. Lunch: Restaurant was 70% full and both patios were filled with people. We chose the patio as it was a lovely day. 10 minutes passed before wait staff greeted us for drink orders. After taking said drink orders, 15 minutes passed before our server returned to say that they were out of one of the beers ordered and the others would have to wait as the keg needed to be changed. I’m sure most of us have worked in a restaurant at least once. I worked in a bar — when a keg runs out, it takes a couple minutes to change and 2 minutes to get the tap running again. Another 10 minutes later(this is now 25 minutes after ordering) two beers came. 10 minutes after that the last of our drink order arrived. Rather than waiting again, we ordered whatever sandwiches were on the menu as soon as the last of the drinks showed. Food made it out within an acceptable amount of time, but we asked for the bill immediately. It came a half hour later. I’d give a respectable review of the food, but I was seething and don’t feel they deserve the write up. I am/was that bitter. It took 2HOURS to serve us 3 beers and 3 sandwiches. NINE18 Management — get your **** together. Your staff are either not trained properly(that goes from cooks to servers to the little guy working the golf bag stand) or they’re slow. Unacceptable.
