   Unfortunately our visit was less than one star. We really enjoyed it here the first time and this time was nothing like the last. Service was terrible, took forever, no one was organized. Drinks took forever, billing was a mess. Food wasn't great either this time. All around disappointing, after complaining and asking for multiple people's help beyond our server, nothing was offered to be taken off the bill or to help make our stay better. Our server tried her best but was not prepared for her tables.

   We went for dinner and bowling. Terrible service. Our server rarely checked on us. Their sunshine bowl isn’t even a bowl…it’s more of a salad.

   I booked bowling online on Wednesday, and when I got there two different servers told me “it happens all the time” that people book online and it doesn’t register in the system so my lane wasn’t actually booked and we couldn’t play 😅 which is like the whole reason we went there but that’s ok lol. And I sat for literally 10-15 minutes before a server even came , and it wasn’t busy. And they were out of almost everything we asked for on the menu. Then none of the machines would work when we were paying lol.

   Was treated absolutely horrible. Had 5 waitresses ask me to leave after re seating me twice due to a "party" showing up after reservations were made days in advance for my table for the event. Then once expressing my bad experience. Was given horrible service until I left. Appalling hownterrible that was. I would've walked out. If my name was attached to the reservation.

   Service from server was outstanding. The restuarant got busy after 6 pm, one hour before game time, and expediency on an extra food request was slow. The first order of food before 6 came out quickly.

   The business looks nicely put together and has a fun vibe from decorating and activity’s that are available. Unfortunately service was substandard. An uninterested server had us tracking them down to order. Refills on drinks also required finding our server in the bar to request them. I was surprised that “Happy hour” was not applicable to game days, although I didn’t read that anywhere, but were told by our server. The food menu was limited during game day. We tried three items off the menu and enjoyed one of them.

   The service, food and drinks were fantastic but the location of our table was not great. It was like they just made a spot up because they were so busy. Having had a reservation, I would assume they would have space for us. Learning curve as they new, I would assume.

    A bit of a hit and a miss of an experience. We booked bowling and pre-paid but the lane was not working for the first 15 minutes of our time. They were able to switch us at a new lane but as soon as the last 45 minutes was up they had to tell us to quickly shuffle out and move to a table as somebody else wanted to bowl. We were even willing to pay for an extra 30 minutes as we were a little dissapointed our time got cut short but they said no and swiftly moved us. I would be hesitant to pre-pay for bowling here in the future. Otherwise the place was quiet, service was good, food was good but small portions for the price point. I think there might be better options in the area.

    I thought the food was average, I had hoped for happy hour pricing but didn’t realize it’s not available on game nights. Staff was awesome, kids had a blast.

    Certainly not a gastropub as described. This is a noisy sports bar where you go before or after a hockey game. I was going to a game but expected better. They serve a more limited menu on game nights. Plus they play the annoying base heavy background music so many restaurants insist on playing.

    They were out of quite a few food and beers we tried to order. We had appetizers and the server did not clear the plates. We had to move the plates to another table. After our meal the plates never got removed even when we got our bill the plates were still on the table. Service was very slow. Looked like they only had one server on. We went to watch a Oilers games. Not sure if we would go back.

    Food took 40 minutes to come out so we were rushing from there to get to the game. Kinda sucked, the server offered us free shots, but honestly we were only able to eat half out meals, not her fault but poor execution on delivery. I made a reservation so that was good. The server was apologetic and kind, a lil forgetful on refills but I know she was busy helping other servers.

    I’ve already recommended this place to more than one person. It’s going to be a great downtown location to meet up with people pre-game. The barstools are super comfy and the view from the windows is awesome. I’ll definitely be going back.

    Our server was about to clock out so she wanted to settle our bill which is totally understandable, but never bothered to clear our table nor ask someone else to do it. Wanted to order more drinks after but no one really came to check on us after she left. It wasn’t a busy night and most servers were just on the floor hanging out and getting in the way of people passing by. Ambiance was really nice though, very aesthetic. I would recommend this place just to take pictures and maybe have a drink at the bar so someone could take your order for sure.

    One thing to note if going before the hockey game is that they offer a limited menu not the full menu that is on their website. We were shocked when told this. Our mistake guess I didn’t do enough research before making the reservation. Food and drinks were good and the atmosphere was nice.

    Booked a meal for 12 and 2 hours of Ten Pin Bowling after for a works event. Experience was fantastic, we had two really great servers who looked after our every need. Nice food, cooked to a good standard. Plenty of choice for everyone on the menu. Lots of drink choices. Place is a located in a cool part of Downtown. Great value for money. The only thing I’d say is a negative was the washrooms probably could do with a bit more attention cleaning wise, but not the worse I’ve seen. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

    Took us 30 minutes to get drinks and waters. Then waited over an hour for 2 appies. The server told us when our other food came out that they were out of our third thing we ordered. Offered us another appie for free but we had already been there for a hour and a half and had a concert to go to. Didn’t want to wait longer for crappy food. Food tasted bad and the whole meal still cost us 60 dollars. Definitely not worth the price.

    Server took our order and then disappeared. Another server took my order for another beer that took 45 minutes to arrive. It was busy for the concert however I saw our server go by our table several times. When she finally checked up on us, I mentioned the beer which she said she would find out where it is. Didn’t see her again for a good while and when she did come back, all she said was “oh, no one dropped off your beer?” As if it wasn’t her that I asked. Would come again but not on a concert night

    The restaurant was not that crowded at lunch but there appeared to be a large party. We waited for 50 minutes for our food after ordering. It was quite noisy with an MC making announcements every 5 minutes over the loudspeakers. My fish and chips were mostly batter no fish and the fries were soggy and oily not tasty at all. The only good thing was we didn’t have to pay due to the long wait. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    I ordered hot wings (with franks red hot sauce) and they came with dry rub sauce? I wanted the wings as an apetiser and they came with my meal.my fish and chips were good though (they gave a very smalll amount of tarter sauce though?) My brother ordered a starter ceaser salad and it came AFTER he ate his main meal which was a steak sandwitch? The waitress did not know the menu items very well? Had to wave down the waitress as the meal took a while to arrive? Also the coors light on tap seemed flat?

    When I arrived with my group we were never greeted. We found where the bowling was as we had a reservation. No one was at the desk where the shoes were. We waited a half hour until we had to find the manager. We then waited for our server which took another 20 minutes. They let us go to our lane once the group who was overtime left. We started bowling which was fun. the tables will still dirty from the prior group while we started bowling. Overall just very disappointed with the service.
