Steak poutine is excellent!

Amazing catering service. Food was the best we have had on our band tour and everyone was so sweet to a bunch of hungry roadies.Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing catering services.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and they did everyone to make sure it was taken care of, no issues at all.

The restaurant is very unassuming on the outside since it is smack-dab in the middle of an older looking strip center. Once you walk in, the environment feels way different than you thought it would with lots of black metal accents, greenery, and subway tiles to make the decorations and setup pop. You can tell they are trying to have a newer vibe (with wait staff wearing light jeans) but counter balance it with a slightly elevated bar and ambiance, where the subway tiles and bar/drink style made me feel like the intended era was in the mid-1900s. I definitely liked the environment.In their 5th year, they’re definitely trying to draw in crowds in other ways since they have events that occur there, like comedy nights. In a date night, I would see this being a neat place for a show and a drink.Overall, the service was average, but the bar experience is surely a little higher brow than your average restaurant. If you order a drink off their cocktails menu, you get a cute note attached to it by a mini clothing hanger that says it was hand crafted with love. Not a prohibition era style drinks menu with homemade shrugs, but definitely unique drinks. My The Heat was a spicy margarita-like drink and it was more than worth it.The food was above average, appetizers much more interesting that the main courses:Brussel sprouts - very tasty, but could’ve used one extra flash-fry since they were a little moistBeet/burrata salad - this was good and had slices of lemon rind in it that made it uniqueBraised short rib- Overpriced for the portion of rib, but still the sauce was great. Could taste the wine still in the sauceJambalaya - good. Loved the spices used but I like just a little more heatFrench onion soup - not worth it! Very (seemingly) watery with the cheese not well cooked or in even a decent quantity.Crispy cauliflower - great taste, just could use more for the price.Crispy chicken sandwich - unfortunately, this was very bland. You can tell it’s decent quality chicken, it had Little sauce giving it little flavor, toppings were just thrown on, and the pickle was the lightest in flavor I’ve experiencedSurely worth a trip to give it a try. Unsure that the remainder of the menu is that interesting that I will travel back there in the near future; however, if the drink and food menu rotate, I’ll keep my eyes peeled.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is a typical dine-in restaurant. There is not necessarily any items or parts of the environment geared towards children. That said, it was not a fancy restaurant that made it unwelcoming for families. I had my daughter with me when eating there last night. She enjoyed herself, but she’s 11.

Stopped in here today and it was a pleasure! Tracy was fantastic, we started off rough with me having a glass of water spilled in my lap but she made it up double time! She was very attentive, very friendly, made a helluva margarita and she actually brought it for me! Thanks Tracy! I truly appreciate that!! The food was really good as well, I ordered the salmon it was perfectly cooked, the carrots didn't look like any carrot I've ever tasted in my life. It reminded me of potato but it was delicious. The vibe was pretty loud, but I was told it's usually not that loud! There's numerous tv, the bar is big, restaurant has nice decor! I will absolutely return no question, you should come here!

I want to like this place so bad and every time they disappoint. They won’t take orders over the phone you must use the website. I attempted to order online at 805pm, they close at 9. Totally understand slowing the kitchen down close to closing time but why they won’t accept orders 55 minutes before closing is beyond me. The food is good but the price point is high. We have supported them during Covid and donated to their cancer fundraisers. But there are better places with less hassle.

First visit. The server was very friendly, professional, and cheerful. She made honest recommendations and paid close attention to us throughout the meal. The food was decent and plentiful. The homemade Apple Cobbler ala mode was exceptional and made the meal. I always find it a little "less" when dining at a sit down restaurant and they serve beer in a bottle without a glass, it just seems to distract from the atmosphere of going somewhere to sit down and have a nice meal. The music was a bit loud, so the customers were all holding table conversations over it, and the room acustics amplified everything making it a bit noisy. Overall, a nice experience, and we will probably be back in the future.

Had an amazing experience from this group catering our wedding. If I could give more stars I would, the crab cakes were amazing the salad was so fresh my ribs were falling apart in my fingers. It was cooked perfectly!Everyone raved about the deserts. If you want an amazing caterer Danielle is your go to!Trust me you will not go wrong with these lovely people!

Everything was great! Amazing food. Servers were patient and adorable. The one hiccup was the seating hostess- we sat at a high top and when asked if we could sit at a low table (clearly there was plenty of room) we were told (curtly) no they were full. I was shocked at the tone so I responded “yeah- I know. That's why I made reservations too”. She walked away so we tried to make ourselves comfortable. She came back and said (curt again) “Ready?” Since we didn't have menus yet I said “for what?” “To move. You asked for another table”. We were happy for the accommodation but the tone was a bit much.

Unparalleled

Was super excited to eat here, but the food was not wonderful for the price. Ordered the fish special, which was supposed to come with broccolini and risotto. Instead, received underwhelming white rice and carrots. The fried green tomatoes were really good, but didn't make up for the entree. Not sure we will be back.
