The Lion and dragon - Ajax

The Lion and Dragon is a local pub that serves as a decent spot for locals to enjoy a drink or two after work. It is not the type of place you would want to stay at for a long time. The pub is located in a hidden courtyard within an older plaza, giving off an old world European vibe. While the lack of craft beer options may disappoint some, the regulars seem to prefer the traditional Labatt offerings. Despite the limited beer selection, the wings at the pub are large, meaty, and well-cooked. Overall, if you are in the area and looking for some wings and beer in a cozy setting, the Lion and Dragon may be worth a visit. However, it may not be worth seeking out specifically for a dining experience.

I tried this restaurant for the first time today after hearing good things on Yelp and Foursquare. My initial reaction upon entering was, "Wow, this place is small!" And indeed, it was. There were extension cords hanging from the ceiling, which gave me concerns about safety. I ordered the Dragons Fire wings and a Diet Coke. Unfortunately, the soda was flat and watered down. However, the wings were large and packed with flavor. They had a genuine level of heat, unlike the vinegar-heavy hot wings found at other places. The meal also came with fries, which were tasty as well. The service was decent, although a bit slow. I am unsure if I would return in the future.

I come here regularly Tuesday Nights for the wings and they never fail to deliver amazing food. Medium and Honey Garlic sauces are divine. The fries are also delicious, you will never be disappointed with them and they serve a lot even on its own. The Panini's here surprised me as well, they are never pressed down to a flat board, done just right and they don't skimp on the amount of stuff that's packed into it. Servers here are excellent and if you come here often they know exactly what you want off by heart. It's a small pub so if you come on a day like wing night id suggest reserving ahead of time as it gets crowded fast also on hockey nights.

The Lion and Dragon is a complete disappointment. I have been there a number of times and the bar staff is rude and undisciplined. They can be quite obnoxious and are solely self-absorbed. The bar itself is poorly constructed and the washroom is a shared mens/womens and is quite unsitely. The food prices are way above what they should be for an establishment of that sort.

My wife, children and I live around the corner from this pub. We went there at 5:30 p.m. the other day to grab dinner before going to a 7:00 p.m. show at my older daughter 's school. This was our first visit to the Lion and Dragon. After sitting on the patio for five minutes and having the waitress walk past us twice, an Asian man (the Manager? asked if we 'd been helped. We told him we would like menus. To make a long story short.... Half an hour later we had each received one drink (my draft was warm, as was my wife 's cider and there was no sign of the food we 'd ordered. Not once did the waitress check in with us. My wife went inside to ask when our food would be ready and was told it would be only ten minutes. After the ten minutes had passed I informed one of the waitresses (not ours our waitress was nowhere to be found that we had to leave, and she seemed genuinely annoyed that we weren 't being patient. So, after forty five minutes.... Warm drinks, appalling service and no food from a pub that wasn 't particularly busy when we got there. I don 't care how close to home this place is. I won 't go there again.
