    Service was not great even though we made a reservation they were in a hurry to get us out. So if you are hoping to have a nice paced meal don’t go hear. We had just sat down ordered a drink and the server was asking if we were ready to order. We had just sat down. The group of ladies at the table next to us were screaming and and yelling glad they were having fun because no one else was. The food was amazing though I had the grilled cheese and it was delicious.

    Incredible food. Came for the live music/jam night, which was outstanding, loved the aesthetics, environment, and staff. Overall sound level could have been a bit lower to hear conversation and the high’s on the singer’s mic were a tad hot. But otherwise fantastic. Will definitely be back.

    Food was excellent, but one of our meals was very delayed getting to the table. After waiting for a few after the other dishes arrived, our server said it would only be a few minutes. It ended up being 10-15 minutes and there was no further comments from the server or anyone else. An explanation of why would have been appreciated.

    We got the Fish and chips, the breading was soggy and wet inside and the fish wasn't flavorful, wasn't the best dish. We also got the Crispy chicken sandwich which was very flavorful and very delicious, loved this dish, the chicken breading was very good and not oily and the aioli was a definite win. For drinks we tried the 'good for what ails ya' which had no flavor except the whiskey, very strong. Not a whiskey fan so I cannot properly judge. We also tried the 'club night', not much flavor but nice light foamy drink with a pretty purple, not strong alcohol flavor which was good. The atmosphere was very loud and energetic and warm, lot's of people talking, staff were very friendly and helpful. Unique and creative décor, clean washrooms, and comfortable seating. No parking, you have to walk a bit from pay parking lot's or some street parking so prepare for that.

    We made reservations ahead of time and were seated in the centre of traffic and noise. A person in our party had a hearing impairment who has never had an issue in a loud environment, literally ended up with a migraine and we all left fairly early. The food was good. The steak tartare was amazing. Chicken and waffles could have used more sauce and the tacos were okay. The cocktails were great! Our server was great but the volume needs to be lowered during supper hours. There is plenty of time to get noisy later!
