The GemThe Gem has been serving the Davenport and Ossington area for 25 years. This quaint restaurant is filled with quirky knick knacks and collectables - not to mention some of the city's best nachos. Their secret weapon is the chef's signature creamy dill sauce, which is a welcome alternative to sour cream. The homemade veggie bean dip is velvety, delicious, and adds a hint of sweet to the otherwise salty platter. ($7.95 small and $9.95 large)

The atmosphere is great and fun. However the food is terrible. There is no love or thought put into the food so if you are looking for a place to eat then avoid eating there.

The service is a little on the slow side but the food portions are huge, the prices are right, and the ambiance is kitsch perfection.
