We were a lunch party of 11. Our waitress was great, competent and efficient. The food arrived quickly and all together, so the service was great. I ordered fish and chips and found the fish to be dry. One of my colleagues commented that his fish was greasy. I found it interesting that another review said the same thing (greasy). I did not complain or mention my dissatisfaction to the staff. We picked this location over the Bank Street one based on a colleagues suggestion. I think next time we will try the other one.

Chiken tenders. 3. Tiny. Dry. 12$ before taxes.Heavily encourage people to never order this off their menu. 100% not worth the money. Supremely

Average pub, average deep fried fare. Could use more craft beers (1-2 aren't enough!)

Great atmosphere, very clean and spacious restaurant, friendly staff and a live band. The Shepherd’s Pie is easily one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant.

Good food and great service, but this place sure can get busy during lunch! It's a good place to grab a bite, watch the game, or just catch up with friends. The staff are very friendly and helpful!

I ordered a Caesar Salad for takeout and came away with barely any lettuce. Very disappointed.

Service with a smile. Great spot with a view. The brie, cranberry, turkey sandwich was excellent.

Service was exceptional, food was mediocre but on the pricey side. Everything was cooked very well, just not as flavourful or higher quality as I expected.

Avoid this place at all costs. My recent visit to this restaurant left much to be desired. Despite a decent atmosphere, the lackluster service was evident. With a not busy restaurant, our small group of six faced disappointments like cold fries and a dried-out grilled salmon dish. The server disappeared after taking our orders, leaving us without a chance to provide feedback or order more than the one redeeming factor – the non-house beer. The unprofessional server didn't address our concerns, pushing dessert sales while ignoring the unfinished meals on our table. Even when we requested more water, the service remained subpar, exemplified by a self-serve water pitcher. The staff's disregard for our comfort, from cold doors opening to rush reasons during winter, arranged the restaurant's outdoor tables. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this poorly managed establishment.

Been to this location few times never going back, takes forever to get served after walking in, seems like bartenders and servers would rather socialize with each other then serve the customers. They're simply miserable to be around.
