    A great repurposing of an historic building. We were greeted by a friendly staff and served by an equally friendly wait staff. The mussels were great with a mild curry sauce. My only regret is that I should have ordered a full pound

    We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, ambience and hospitality. I tried my first mint mushy peas and they were delicious. It got a little loud as more people filled the restaurant but overall it was a great place to meet friends before the theatre.

    Loved the menu!! Our table of four all had something different and it was very tasty. I thought the wine by the glass prices were marked up a little high, but I guess that's what the cost is in restaurants these days. Good service by Ron, although it took him a little while to get to us to take our initial drink order (and the restaurant wasn't busy). The ambiance of the restaurant is very unique and interesting. All in all it was a fantastic place for lunch.

    Open table had reserved a floor table but when we got to the restaurant they were having trouble accommodating us. The staff were super friendly and cleaned a table for us. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice but a bit noisy hard to hear each other talk and we were right next to each other. Restaurant was full which was nice to see.

    Food was excellent! Alcoholic drinks very unique and tasty, but somewhat pricey. Interesting architecture and relaxing atmosphere, albeit a bit noisy but not too bad. Staff super attentive!!

    It’s an interesting place because the old Pumphouse is behind glass all lit up to view. Food is okay but not outstanding.

    I would love to see some of the vegan options offered to be not deep fried if possible.
