    Made a reservation for noon on a Sunday which by no means was neccessary but thankful we did. We were giving a fantastic booth overlooking the water. Greatly appreciatied. Our server Valentina was excellent. We asked for recommendations and the Smoked brisket and cauliflower bites were excellent. The fries were cooked to perfection. The only downfall was the gravy. I am a gravy fanatic and it lacked a little - wasn't disappointing by any means but could use some love. Highly recommend this place - looking forward to visiting again during patio season.

    Started out good. Then our server was MIA…didn’t get dessert that we paid for because we had to leave. Totally NOT the servers fault…she was slammed with table AND was the bartender. They need to hire more help. Food was decent, beer and atmosphere are really good. They just NEED more staff.

    It appeared that our server's shift ended during the middle of our meal, and nobody ever came to cover their area. Once our first round of drinks and meals were delivered we never had anyone come to our table for ~45 minutes, at which point we went to seek someone out. We probably would have had another round or two of drinks had someone come by to take more orders. Once we tracked someone down to help us, they struggled with getting the bill correct. In the end, the staff was very apologetic and we felt they handled the situation the situation well, but the restaurant was not at all busy on this evening so it was a bit disappointing that the service wasn't better.

    Can’t beat having drinks at this location, by the water with amazing views, and a wonderful ambiance inside. We had drinks and shared an app- when we left one of my friends forgot her phone on the table. The staff called us right away and we were able to go back and get it. Wonderful staff and a great afternoon out.

    “They’re Mice!……Not Rats!!” The response of the manager, Jamie, when 3 tables including ours spotted mice running around the dining area floor and complained of a rat problem. Totally unacceptable and unprofessional response. Not even a single apology. Wish could report to Canadian health Take business elsewhere.

    Everything was spectacular and we were most happy with the price for a team outing. I will continue to book here. The food was also fabulous. One item that could use improvement is service wasn't coming to get our order. We believe it was likely because we had 2 empty seats in our party of 10. I suspect someone has said something like "don't worry about them until the whole team arrives" but drinks, early food orders, or in this case cancellations... can then effect the duration we are there and experience of the customer. Overall we were pleased.

    This is a busy place with terrible food. We were a group of four. My fish and chips was greasy and the fries like cardboard. A burger was just ok and so big you could not bite into it. Western bowl was a soggy mess. Why this place is popular is a mystery. Typical trashy, touristy food. Service was friendly.

    The service was quite slow but the server was excellent, we assume that service was slower because we were the only table seated on the second level city-side (as opposed to lake-side). The ambience of the restaurant was great, the lighting and noise level was perfect for our party. The food was average. Specifically, our group noted that they did not like the french fries, and one of our group had a sticker in her chicken. Drinks and beer were fantastic! The booking process for our reservation was quite seamless, and I very much appreciated being able to add extra numbers to our group after my initial booking. The only hiccup was that the restaurant did not receive a final request I made by phone not to be seated at high-top tables (due to an injury of one member of our party), and had to make that change last-minute. Thank you for accommodating us!

    We ordered the cheeseburger and chicken sandwich which were both very tasty! Was a little disappointed with the berry fruit crumble dessert as it was served fridge cold and usually fruit crumble desserts are warmed up. Other than that, we loved the restaurant, location, ambiance etc. and the drinks were great too!
