&Company Resto Bar

Decided to check out this spot the Sunday of the NBA All Star Weekend in Toronto since going out in Toronto was near to impossible. Definitely wasn’t disappointed that a place like this can be found in Sauga. The night we went was Valentine’s Day as well so we didn’t expect the club to be packed but it was filled up in general. The bottle pricing here is similar to clubs in Toronto ($ 200 to $ 300 per bottle). The crowd seems to be more of a mature clientele hence, the have a certain dress code to avoid trashy people come on. The service was amazing at the managers, bartenders and waitresses were really helpful. Their late night menus features these mozzarella cheese sticks which are one of the best things I’ve ever tried. I’d go back just to eat that. Overall, definitely a surprise to find a classy place like this in Mississauga and I was definitely impressed.

Went for New Years party and was sold out (actually bored so I’m Unilocaling). Very Mixed young crowd/​clientele. Everyone was great and friendly. The DJs /​music was horrible and DJ couldn’t mix music to save his life — beats were off between songs mixing and all over the place with styles not consistent (very very Latin oriented mixed music with some hip hop/r&b/reggae). Music deteriorated after 12:00. Many left around 1:00 so it wasn’t as crowded on the dance floor and Became more couples. The setup to get to the second floor is just one skinny stairwell so it really hard to get up and down, especially to the bathroom. There was no heated patio. They really should have hired a couple extra bar tenders as service was not impressive (though there were a couple that you saw that busted their asses serving). Did not have the meal or bottle service. Not much seating. I would not go to this club again (Especially Not for New Years anyway!).

Extremely pretentious and elitist (this is a club in MISSISSAUGA… RELAX!). Bouncers were very rude and very unfriendly for no reason. The clientele of the club were very snobby. Would not go back, ever. &co seemed like it wanted to be an upscale club on King St in Toronto, but it would never meet those standards. The clientele needs to learn how to respect other people and be decent human beings.

This review is based solely on the food. Came here for a bday dinner. In terms of the space, it seems like a good spot for large group dinners. Lots of long tables. However, the food was a huge disappointment.
We each had the prix fixe dinner menu which came with a salad, soup, entrée and dessert. The salad and soup weren’t bad, and I thought the meal was off to a good start. Then came the entrees — I ordered the gnocchi which was mushy. The sauce it was in didn’t taste good either. Possibly one of the worst gnocchis I’ve ever had. Another ordered the chicken and said it was dry. For all the steak orders, the steaks were over-​cooked. Medium rares became medium wells. Two of the orders were wrong, and by the time those two got the dishes they ordered, everyone else was done their entrees. The steaks themselves were so tough that our jaws hurt from chewing them. Dessert was ok but I found it to be overly sweet.
While the food was well presented, the taste was just not there.

I went on a friday night to have some drinks and hang out with friends. It wasn’t that busy and the DJ had awkward song transitions. He would play a good song for about 10 seconds before quickly switching to another so that was kind of a buzzkill. And the way the bathrooms are designed, I bet it’s not fun when this place is too busy. But overall, I don’t have much to complain about, I had a good time.

Came in Friday night. Went for drinks and stayed for the dancing. Our server was busy but he was able to take pretty good care of us. (He also became the bartender later that night). The Caesar’s were SO GOOD. Honestly those are the only reasons I give this place any stars at all. The DJ was HORRENDOUS. Awkward music changes, terrible song selections and ya, I love me some Chris Brown but WTF dude, do you get paid extra for every song you play of his? Its like 80% of the songs were Chris Brown. But the worst, worst of it all… Was the crowd. A crazy combination of obnoxious and STINKY! They’re all up in your space, pushing you as they’re wildly dancing with their arms up, just fully immersing you in their B.O. Never again.

I went to this place once for a friends birthday! Food was terrible. Service was worse. Lets just say this is one place I will never go again.

Went there again on Wednesday (Spanish night) they reach salsa. Line was packed, you could only get in if you know someone who spends money there, thankful I got in — although the bouncer have attitude as always.
Club played mostly Spanish music, major Spanish crowd, was very packed. Upstairs played hip hop and rap was packed as well, crowd was pushy, lots of stepping on while people salsa. People who come on Wednesdays seem to know everyone as it’s mainly the same crowd. I’m sorry &co your club doesn’t hit it

Went there for their dinner and a party Saturday nights. It was OK. Firstly we had to pay for parking. It was far. Then the food took long to arrive. On a positive note they gave us one of the meals on the house because it took a while to arrive. The food was OK — not spectacular, but priced reasonably for what you get. Then after dinner time the nightlife started up. That was kind of exciting.

I’d heard rumblings (both good and bad) about this place and figured I’d check it out the next I was in Mississauga. Maybe I got lucky, but I was impressed by the food and the service.
I got there around 9:30 pm, so by the time I finished eating the place was starting to pick up a bit as it made the switch to a club. This didn’t really have an effect on my enjoyment of the meal, but if you’re the type to enjoy a quiet dinner with hushed conversation, I’d suggest you arrive earlier.
As for the food itself, I highly recommend the jambalaya; super tasty and worth the money. The server told me the dishes there are meant to be shared, but I very nearly polished it off all by myself.
In my opinion, &Company is a really good option if you’re not in the mood to deal with the trip to downtown Toronto.

I’m not the biggest clubbing person, so don’t expect a ‘raving’ review. heheheh
Came here for the Halloween party; I’ve always heard mediocre things about this place, so my standards weren’t that high when I went in. When I read this place was a restaurant by day, and club by night, I was slightly skeptical. I wasn’t completely suprised to find tables pushed to the side to make more space to dance. Even then however, there wasn’t that much room. The main dancefloor was completely crowded, and there was a lot more potential room hadn’t there been tables in the way.
That’s really all I can say about it. The music was okay, bar was fine, everything was run-​of-​the-​mill
The Ticket price was way too high for what we got, however. I most likely wouldn’t do it again.

My first time going last night. Had a blast. Staff are attentive, but washrooms should be kept up to date a lot. because girls washroom ran out of toilet paper quickly and girls waited a while to get another one. But good night and great drinks!

Like everything else people are more likely to say something when it’s negative. I read some of the reviews and experienced the opposite when I visited for the first time this past Saturday night, it was busy, the crowd was good, music was nicely diversified. The staff were patient and provided top notch service. I like how the washrooms are completely private with no shared stalls. We had bottle service and our server Marta was fantasic. Yes downtown t. o provides you more options but it’s a hassle and more expensive. If you’re looking to stay local and want to go somewhere more energetic and with a dance floor I would highly reccomend this place.
Cheers

I don’t know what happened to this place. I went with my girlfriends on a Saturday night around 9 and the place was dead. Like no one there. The main floor just had the hostesses, same with the patio. The music was all over the place… country then hip hop then rock etc etc it was just kinda weird.
I’m not sure if they changed their menus or if menus are different between weekdays and weekends but a lot of it wasn’t on the menu (I got the Goat Cheese Bake during my first visit but it wasn’t on the menu) and for the price that was paid for each dish, we really didn’t get that much food. I got the perogies and although they were scrumptious, it wasn’t enough to fill an appetite. The flatbeard is fine and fills you up. The fried shrimp and calamari is basically half an appetizer, even with the side of asparagus. And the Mediterranean chicken kebob is three baby skewers of dry chicken. I can understand if this is one of those places where you pay a bit more for higher quality but we barely got that.
We were told by our waitress that there was a burlesque show later on in the night so we finished our food and went downstairs to watch. When nothing happened for about 25 mins we ended up leaving and going to a fest at celebration square. On the patio the waitresses were nice enough to provide our table with a heater and warm blankets.
I really hope &co steps it up a bit, I really enjoyed my first time there and I would like to again in the future.

Step it up a notch, and dress up a bit. Not that it’s a must, given the normal club wear will suffice. I’ve only dropped in after business meetings, on the way home, and the suit and tie are appreciated.
I wouldn’t recommend going here for the food, but the Mississauga crowd is diverse, and this place is fairly chill. Good place to grab some drinks and make new friends ;)

The presentation of the food is very nice, and a few of the items are well worth the price such as the «crack chicken». Although I feel like the pricier the dishes get, the less they feel worth it. Get really busy on a wednesday night before it turns into a salsa club.

Had a great Halloween experience here for a person who is not usually used to/​liking the busy club scene.

Dinning Experience: Dinner
Specialty: Canadian/​International
Menu items: Goat Cheese Bake, Lobster Tacos, Grilled Lamb Chops, Cajun Blackened Scallops & White Sangria
& Company Resto Bar is more than a restaurant. It’s fine dining establishment by day and burlesque show, turn lounge, turn club, by night. By day, Executive Chef Rob Lussier offers a contemporary twist on classic dishes with a delectable assortment of seasonal cuisine. By night, &Company transitions into an exhilarating nightlife experience facilitated by world-​class DJ’s, exclusive events and premium cocktails from the city’s top mixologists.
Drinks and appies are certainly the specialty at this unique Mississauga venue. My drink for the night consisted of a subtle White Sangria made with white wine, triple sec and fresh seasonal fruit. Light on the palate at first, with a light sweetness and a strong kick upon emptying the glass.
With it, and as recommended by our waitress, we ordered the Goat Cheese Bake. The appie comes with a sour cherry compote, candied walnuts and pecans accompanied by crostini. What I liked about this cheese dish is how the Chef let the goat cheese shine on its own, while plating the dish in a playful way that lets guests pick and choose their pairings and flavours.
Next on the chopping board, quite literally since most dishes come served in one; were the Lobster Tacos. A delicious ensemble of garlic buttered lobster tails with pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa, shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese, served with sour cream and guacamole. Though I would have like the guac to be chunkier and tacos to come served on a soft shell, the key flavours of this dish hit the spot with us, especially as we found ourselves smiling with joy at the sight of large pieces of lobster that were fresh and buttery. Once again, letting the main ingredient of the dish shine as much as possible.
On the red meat front, & Company Resto Bar serves killer dijon-​grilled lamb chops cooked to one’s liking, served with a hearty lamb-​bacon ragout with frizzled shallots and a mint jus. Probably our favourite dish of the day. The lamb was tender and medium-​rare, just the way it should be and the frizzled shallots where the best accompaniment with it giving the dish extra texture. Though the lamb was served covered in the shallots, the meat was so well cooked and flavoured, that we didn’t mind digging through them to get the lamb. We were like kids opening a Christmas present.
Our last appie for the night consisted of Cajun Blackened Scallops served on a bed of corn, pineapple and basil salsa. The salsa paired nicely with the scallop, accenting the sweetness of the corn while balancing the strong taste from the spice. Though we felt the scallops could have used less of the cajun mix, we still loved this dish and whipped the board clean.
Buen Provecho,
Viviana.

Given its location (right beside Square One), it’s a very convenient restaurant, turned bar (at 10:30−11pm).
Pros:
— Penne Jambalaya. Absolutely delicious
— Complimentary coat check until 10pm
— My server was very nice; checked on us quite frequently.
— My white sangria was delicious (thank you Cantino Loco; this is my new fave!)
— They have two floors (which have different DJ’s and hence, different music)
— They have their own personal photographer which circles &co after it’s turned into a club (and the photos are uploaded onto their Facebook shortly after)
— Tons of washrooms; there are two located on the second floor (awesome!) but there’s only one single stall downstairs (…how convenient)
Cons:
— The 15% tip was hidden in the bill. Given the dark, romantic ambiance of the restaurant, I missed it on my bill. Darn it!
— The drinks are a bit pricey. I think a beer and a cosmopolitan came up to …$ 16?
— The bars don’t accept debit or credit. Instead, you’re forced to use their ATM and pay ATM fees (thank you, I love paying for my own money).
— You have to pay for parking
Overall, I’ve been to &co twice (not by choice, my friends chose the location). I think it is a little overrated; the restaurant/​bar isn’t bad, but it’s not amazing. Given its location though (Mississauga doesn’t have a lot of bars/​clubs), I guess it’s okay. I’d really rather party in Toronto to be honest.

Came here for a dear friend’s birthday, she picked this place because she’s been here and swore it is a great place.
As soon as you walk in you notice the nice décor and nice vibe. So then it came time to Order our food. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my guest ordered the penne jumbalaya. The chicken parm wasn’t so shabby, the portion was huge. The taste however didn’t win me over so much. I tried the jumbalaya, that was a bit better. Small portion although but at least it was tasty. I ordered a margarita, although it didn’t taste good. It felt like it was missing something. Since it was missing something, It had a horrible taste to it.
The part where I was shocked? There were fruit flies flying over throughout the whole time. Right over our food. We all saw it, I wasn’t the only one. Iv never seen that before in a restaurant. Never ever. That’s why overall I’m giving it 2 stars for the food and cool loungey vibe you get when you’re inside. everything else was a 1 star rating, especially the Fruit fly experience.
