    The reception was not very nice, but the server was really attentive. The food was great. However there were a mouse running in the dining area which was not favourable as a dining experience.

    Overall a good dining experience! Service was good and friendly. We were a group of ten and were served pretty fast which was nice. Only complaint, I had the salmon and it had a lot of bones in it. I would expect a couple here or there but this was probably the most I’ve ever had in fish served at a restaurant.

    Our server was nice but the service was slow. Slow getting our drink order, slow getting our drinks. Our appetizer plates were left on the table when our entrees arrived. My side of jalapeños was forgotten and when I asked the boy that brought our food for them he never came back. I had to ask our server. The fruit flies were really annoying. The food was good at least.

    Food was great, service was poor. The staff didn't listen to our booking when we arrived and was sitting us at a table for 7 when we had booked for 4 people and tried to sit us at a large table and said others will most probably be joining the table. We asked to move. I feel like the staff didnt really know or care what they were doing. The food was great we dined 2 days earlier and wanted to come back and try the pasta again. Even on the friday when we dined the waitstaff were a little unsure of what they were doing.

    Sorry but you definitely need more waiters. Its shocking how to save a couple of dollars from a big franchise would prefer that and sacrifice customer experience. And then ASK for TIP. Im completely fine about tipping, any time the server EARNS it. The guys are ok, but we had 1 one server for like the whole High top area. He just visited us at leas 3 times. To ask for drinks (it took 20 minutes to get us out beers), ask for food (that where other 20-30 min) and then we saw him again to ask for the check (and that also took time) so you better hire more waiters or make things to a better pace. Its incredible how you tell people that the table is only 2 hours long and then take like an hour to serve.

The food was good, though my friend complained of the "stick like asparagus and slightly tough steak.The desset was fantastic.. Thank you for the experience and would recommend to others and return,

    The venue was very accommodating of our large group (16) and paying the bills was seamless. Food was great (not incredible), but expensive for what was provided - standard but good quality burger fare, essentially. They also limited us to 2 hours, which wasn’t mentioned in advance, and was a real shame because it meant we had to depart earlier than we had hoped to. The layout wasn’t amazing for socializing with a big group especially as it was a high traffic area - but it’s a restaurant not a social club so this wasn’t a deal-breaker.
