El Spero Restaurant - Oakville, Ontario

Mary and her team are incredible! We had a great time chatting and getting to know Mary. We loved how relational and present they were here - we shall be back!

The food is delicious and the portions are generous. Eating at El Spero feels like eating a meal made at home. The menu is large and has a lot of different options. The hostess Victoria was extremely friendly and our server Evan was professional and attentive.

Parking lot towing scam!. After my meal at El Spero and a 5 minute walk next door for an ice cream, my car was gone! The towing services for the parking lot will only "reduce" your $250 towing fee (above the Oakville bylaw max fee) if you show them a ... receipt proving you were in fact a customer. However they state that their cameras captured that " you left the property and thus you broke the rules" despite being an active customer during the time of your car removal. Good luck with your restaurant, but I will never again contribute a dime to this establishment, and given this terrible experience, I will in fact, personally pay my friends who live in the area to avoid the place. The more research I have done shows that this event frequently happens to many seniors in the area. It feels very violating to have this blatant ripoff occur when you are simply trying to take your family out for brunch. Just google the stories about the predatory towing services in the area and you will quickly see numerous other complaints regarding similar outcomes. I am happy to support entities that will support me back, however the restaurant did nothing to help fix this ridiculous outcome. Take this as a warning but in my opinion it is certainly not worth the hassle if they can take your car even if you prove you were a customer! It is also important to note that the parking lot was at least half empty at the time, which highlights the fact that this is a deliberate and targeted scam - where your car is taken within minutes! Shame on you vultures! Good luck El Spero owners, I think you will need it in the future as more people become aware of this news. Nevertheless, after searching online, I know that I am not the only victim. In fact, how many restaurants do you know that actually have a "towed" review category?! Wow, clearly, this happens often, so be careful if you drive to this restaurant Read more

Went for a jog near the Bronte Harbor on a Saturday morning. El Spero was the only restaurant that’s open around the time we finished the jog. Lovely breakfast menu. I especially love the fact that they have a “lighter side” breakfast. Perfect for a after-run breakfast. Tried my friend’s pancake. So ... fluffy. It was divine! They don’t have those fancy coffee. Just Americano with decaf option. Service was good and fast. The lady was direct and swift. Read more
