The Portly Piper Pub

Was busy, but they found a table for 8 in a reasonable amount of time. They won't accept bookings unless you have at least 10 people in your group...Appetizers took close to an hour to appear after ordering! Apparently someone in the kitchen screwed up or some miscommunication occurred.Waitress was very good and accommodating, but manager was an idiot.Entrees took a reasonable amount of time to show, but were hit an miss appearing and some. Some of us found the pasta. I had chicken wings and fries which were good.This place should really simplify their menu as the food menu is too complex... you cannot do pub fare, high end bistro, Italian pasta dishes, and burger joint all well at the same time.Plan on parking elsewhere since the parking lot is too small to accommodate a full house.

This is an upscale sports bar with a fabulous menu selection. New, clean, comfortable booths which were great, but an extremely noisy atmosphere. There were lots of T.V.s throughout the restaurant and our booth had it's own as did the other booths. We were seated promptly and given our menus. Lots to choose from and the prices were very reasonable. I wanted something with seafood and garlic and the waitress suggested the Seafood Risotto which was delicious. My husband ordered steak and mushroom pie which came with a side. Portions were generous. Service was a bit slow and we were not asked if we wanted more coffee, but our waitress was very accommodating and I'm sure if we had of asked it would have been no problem. The reasonable prices and delicious food will have us return.

Big disappointment. I was really looking forward to trying out this new place in Oshawa. It was busy so that was a good sign. But it went downhill from there. I ordered a creamsicle martini when it comes there's about 2 mouthfuls for $8. Plus it was awful. The Bellini was better. We ordered a spinach dip for an app. It shows up we dig in and it's a crab dip! Lucky no one at the table had a shellfish allergy!I ordered the stuffed Yorkshire. It was awful the one at the courtyard in courtice is way better. 2 meals showed up we waited 10 more minutes for the other 2 to come. I won't be in a hurry to go back.

This is a wonderful fairly new pub on Hwy.2 (King St. East) in Oshawa with lots of parking. The menu has something to appeal to all tastes, the food is excellent, the service is quick and polite, and the price is quite reasonable. And the background music doesn't deafen you, so it's conducive to conversation. Accessible. I'll be making this a regular stop from now on.

Prices here are not cheap but the food is really really good. The place is clean as it's still new. Lots of seating and what looks like a great bar area for watching the game. Parking is tough until you find the driveway to overflow at the back.
