My go-to place for birthday or other group get-togethers. Fun place with great lively atmosphere, but also kid-friendly. My boys are crazy for their fried chicken, and I love their hearty, creative salads.
Tonight we went to watch the Avengers movie at Cinema Banque Scotia and wanted to first grab something quick nearby, so we had booked a table at iBurger next door. However, after the day's heavy rain, we found out that the latter was closed due to flooding in their basement. So we decided to walk over to Deville Dinerbar and give it another shot.
Deville is more-or-less a trendier version of its sister deli Reuben's (a favourite of ours). With its retro/modern pink-ish décor, fruity cocktails and large booths, it's an ideal place to bring a date, or to hook up with girls for that matter (there were several girl-only tables).
You'll find typical diner food “with a twist” at Deville: finger food, burgers, sandwiches, ribs, roasted chicken… They up the ante by adding some interesting and/or “exotic” ingredients to raise regular comfort fare to the next level.
We love sitting at the bar, it's like having your own waiting staff. Our bartender/waitress was attentive and very friendly; she made sure we had everything we needed and sparked a little conversation. The food came at the right time and the rest of the staff was attentive (after I dropped my napkin, I didn't have time to look for it before it was picked up).
While the food won't blow you away and is a little spotty, it is still good, original diner food. Deville has a nice vibe that makes it unique, especially with the modern decor and the jukebox app that lets you request songs. We enjoyed ourselves both times here and we would probably come back; it's an overall pleasant experience.
