Our waitress was terrible, it was our granddaughters birthday and she forgot to bring her her meal and then said I'm sorry but u probably don't want it now, then giggled..we did not think it was funny and said well I won't charge u. My son ordered a second beer which did not come until our meal was done as well as same as my second glass of wine. I told her I was very unhappy about the service and all she did was say sorry and walked away. We have gone their several times and have bragged to our friends about how amazing it is, however, I won't be back for a very long time....

Lovely atmosphere and service was friendly and efficient. I had lobster papperadelle. Was ok for price but would definitely not order again. Cream sauce way too heavy and just a small amount of salty lobster. Could have also used some veggies. Other person with me had pork tenderloin. Flavour good but dry. Potential. I will try them again but didn't love this time

Decent quality and portions. Not the largest but more than enough. They have an extensive beer collection but do not offer pitchers. Come on, this is what some people want. Give us a small savings and we will spend more. Servers were easy going and loved to make fun of us. Deservingly so. With an appetizer and meal for 2 and 4 drinks It was $130. More than I’d like to pay however didn’t feel like we were bent over and abused. All in all we would go back.

Terrible service, food only adequate. Incorrect charges on our bill - causing my credit card to be locked after too many attempts to pay the correct amount. Extremely poor service. Waitress basically ignored us after serving our meal. No follow up for drinks, no offer of a dessert menu after dinner, just wanted to bring us the bill. Won’t ever try this restaurant again. It’s certainly not ‘upscale’ in any way - no matter how they try to spin it. Upscale restaurants don’t treat patrons the way we were treated.

Reservation requested standard seating and was given high seats and then corrected. No mention that they were out of oysters until after I ordered them. Poor service for the price.

Great service, friendly staff, and amazing food!! We made a reservation and specified it was for a date and We were seated in a quiet room off to the side from the main area. I have celiac and the menu had lots of gluten free options including desert and they were very accommodating! We will be back for sure!

We arrived at 3:50 pm and the place was closed all up…not one light and no sign of anyone there…we found it strange so we went to St James Gate in Dieppe. We had a great meal there. Sorry we missed the chance to eat at the one on Church Street.We could not see any sign stating your hours of operation.

Horrible service. Left at the door for 10 minutes as servers walked by us. Did not stay long enough to eat, we were sat at the worst table they have in the place beside a table of 10 very very obnoxiously loud people when the restaurant only had one other table occupied.

Disappointed with menu changes. Too many fried items. Over all atmosphere is more of a pub or a rock bar than a restaurant. Very dark. Very noisy. Typical rock n roll music. No flexibility for seating, as we have to go by what the internet decides. Food came so quickly we did not have time to relax. Over all tone seems to target out-of-towners coming in for events and in a hurry. Appeals to the 20-40 age group who never take off their ball caps.

We love this place as a general rule, but there were a couple of misses. They were out of two things my husband ordered and my chicken piccata was not what I expected. It was tasty, but not typical. Wait staff was excellent and we will be back!

This was our second visit to this restaurant and unlike the first time this was a total disappointment. The food was not good. My husband only ordered a hamburger and it was not good. In fact he didn't even eat it. I had a lambe pasta dish that a decent restaurant would not serve. The wait staff seemed untrained and really didn't appear to know what they were doing. For example, I ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter came to the table and placed it unopened. He then asked if I would like totry it. this was a total afterthought. Bad food, incompetent wait staff. We will not return.
