First time I have been to The Pump House. Lovely atmosphere with the sleek design and then all that beautiful antiquated equipment in the back ground with great history. The food was delicious (home made burger) and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful location and atmosphere. The food was outstanding and the service was good. It was very busy so our drinks took a little longer to get to us than I expected, but overall I liked this restaurant and would recommend it.

This old 1906 pumphouse building has a unique ambiance, the interior is pleasantly decorated, and it features a glass wall with a view of the old pump equipment behind it.  We dined on a Wednesday evening, and it was fairly busy here, so I would recommend reserving, and at which time you can request seating next to the glass wall.This was my first time dining here, I ordered the Chili Coconut Mussels, as I heard so much about it. The mussels were good, the sauce was unique and tasty, and the naan on the side was great for the extra sauce.  The curly fries were nothing special, I would have much rather had a different side with a dish like mussels.  Portions were okay, but a bit more mussels and fewer fries would have been a better balance as some of the mussels don't open.  Our server was friendly and attentive, the food was fast, and the pricing was fair.  The menu has an interesting selection, and I plan to return to try some other dishes.

My friend suggested we go here for lunch because she thought I'd like it, she was wrong... I loved it. The bar wrapped all the vintage pumping equipment gives the place a real steampunk vibe. Food was fantastic.

If you want to be imersed in history, unique architecture, exposed wood, and steel with a positive atmosphere, this is your happy place. We loved the vibe, the music was an eclectic mix, and the staff were excellent. My only complaint was the curly fries being a side for so many dishes. They lack flavor and originality. Maybe sweet potatoes or thick-cut spicy fries? Otherwise, all the food was delicious, and chocolate cheesecake as a finisher was a winner.
