The food was good. My steak was cooked perfectly. The service was great, fast and efficient. My only complaint was the noise. The music was way too loud. We couldn’t hear each other at the table. We couldn’t hear the waitress. One of my party measured the noise level with his phone and it was high enough to do hearing damage. So would I recommend the food, absolutely! Will I go back, probably not.

A lively and very welcoming restaurant. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They are never far if you need service. The menu is great, the drinks, especially the wines are really good, and on some nights they have special prices which are quite amazing. Food is very tasty. It’s my new go to place.

We ordered steak medium well but it was cooked well in most places. Also ordered the Bison Burger and it was ok. We came for my birthday and the server was cold and was not personable or friendly. Even though we put that it was my birthday in the booking no one acknowledged it. The service is usually good but this experience was disappointing

The Brussels sprouts were served burnt and no bacon. When we returned it asking if it can be corrected, we were told it couldn’t be. Then we were still charged. The vegetarian options weee minimal and even when I requested a stir fry, it came with a very limited amount of veggies stacked on rice & cabbage salad. Not a huge portion either.

We ordered the pretzel bites with cheese, calamari, a black bean burger, and a beef dip. The appetizers were great; I don’t usually like calamari but this one was pretty good, and the pretzel dippers were delicious. The burger wasn’t my favourite and my partner said the beef dip was a bit boring. We took most of our mains home and had them for lunch the next day, and we both thought they tasted better than they did when we were at the restaurant. I added the leftover cheese sauce to my burger, and the left over dill sauce that you get with your fries. Overall service was great, we enjoyed the food and drinks, and the ambiance was really nice. I would go back!

My dinner was delicious, but for the price I could have used 1/3 more. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl. Two of my friends found the food far too spicy both had some type of Bowl. I love to eat on the patio it's beautiful
