    We enjoyed our lunch of a burger with all the fixings along with mashed potatoes, a starter of traditional poutine and butternut squash soup with a piece of garlic bread. Everything was tasty and the ambience of the restaurant was great. Thank you very much to the friendly staff.

    Good food for a fair price. All 4 of us enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and attentive. A less busy location that is close to the Rogers Centre. A lower score was given on ambiance due to vulgar gangsta rap.
