Sands - the Creek in Stoney Creek

We have been here twice in the last month. Both times there were six guests. The first experience the service was excellent. The waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was average. We tried it again just two days ago. The waitress was distracted and the food average. I would of complained if I didn;t think the reason was because the staff have left for uni. and the restaurant may be winding down from seasonal work. The problem is that you are still paying high prices for food that is average. If you pay a high price the food should reflect that price in its preparation. I will go again because the locations is so very pleasing but I will order only drinks and appetizers. They will have prove they can improve the quality of cooking before I spend 32 dollars on entries.

This is a wonderful place. We had friends visit from Australia and they were looking for a restaurant with a view. This is the place. You are on the west end of Lake Ontario looking east, you can see Burlington, Bronte, Oakville and on a clear day the CN Tower on Toronto. The menu is Mediterranean, gyros, pita, beet salad, Greek salad, hummus, chicken slovaki, and try the Greek fries, fries with olive oil, oregano and lots of feta, delicious. Our waiter, Andre was excellent .

Their website says Beach Bar is open 5pm to 10pm on weekdays and includes a menu. But when asked they say they don’t serve food there and don’t have half the drinks on the menu. Tried a few times and some days bar is not open at all. When it is open staff don’t seem to want our patronage or money. At least they could update their website before people drive there.

Was my first time there because of location but will not return. The lunch my friend and I ordered was cold and tasteless, had no flavour at all. The side of fries were a joke came in a not much bigger than a jewlery box were cold and rubbery with no condiments on the table if you wanted to add flavour. Waitress was friendly but other than that was a waist of money.

Went to Barangas On the Beach for the first time and we certainly won't be rushing back. The Dolmatas were a complete fail tasteless rice filling, served cold and served with tzatziki rather than the Greek traditional lemon sauce. Had chicken souvlaki which was just OK, chicken was plentiful, but overcooked and the beet salad was ..... well, I love beets so it was also just OK, but didn't really look very appetizing. The cappuccino was good as was the Aperol Spritz I enjoyed first. Not a great Greek meal! I guess the restaurant is popular because of the location right on the lake, but really, don't waste your money it was all overpriced and overrated.
