   Service was excellent, unfortunately cant tell you the same about the food, I had the chicken schnitzel, came out very very dry, your wait staff were kind enough to bring me some extra sauce, it helped a bit but would have done without this item, either they dont know how to cook the schnitzel or something was off

   Ordered poutine was lacking something, cheese and gravy! If I wanted fries I would have ordered fries.

   This is an interesting location with the historic water pumphouse behind the glass. Nice selection on the menu and prices are reasonable . Great place to meet friends or family and hang out!

   Had a great experience. The server was friendly and professional. Food was very hot and tasty. Restaurant was clean. Price was reasonable. Due to the high ceilings and openness, the noise level was a little high, but bearable. Would go back.

   I had been here a couple of times but my husband had never been and was really wanting to try the place. We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation but had to wait for another table to leave and be cleaned before we were sat. The server was friendly and attentive even though it seemed to be very busy. The food was excellent - I had the chow mein and my husband had the Dan Dan Thai, which he also enjoyed. We had the mango cauliflower bites as a starter which were excellent. The restaurant was very loud which did make conversation more difficult. However , overall it was a good dining experience.

   My only complaint is that the main meals came very quickly after ordering. I like to have time to chat and have a cocktail - I wasn’t even finished my salad and the mains came. Everything else was wonderful.

   The food and service were excellent! Staff were friendly and welcoming. The braised beef tacos and cauliflower bites were delicious. We also enjoyed the Pumphouse Pilsner on tap.

   1st time visiting James Avenue Pumphouse. Loved the look of the restaurant. We were sat right near the glass overlooking the pumps which was nice. Our waitress was excellent, and the food was really good. The only negative I have is that the noise level is fairly high. It is like that in a lot of restaurants though. Good place for a group of friends, and 1 block from the Centennial Concert Hall which is great before an event. Overall, would definitely go back.

    It was an amazing experience. We had a great time! Our server, Sydney, was very welcoming and helpful. I guess I found my new favourite spot!
