Tasty food, nice cocktails. Felt like our server forgot us at one point. Nice simple decor.

Service and cocktails were good but food in general was average, nothing remarkable there.

Pleasant atmosphere however portions were small- lamb tangine had very little lamb and a few root vegetables. I asked if I could substitute extra vegetables for couscous and my request was denied by the kitchen - how petty. Menu quite limited.
One of our favourite places to eat. The warmth of not only the staff but also the ambience for a feel at home restaurant. We keep coming back and never disappointed!! Try it ...you will like it!! ?

My guest had the cottage pie and she really enjoyed it... I had your poutine with the add-on of chicken strips! Both meals were excellent - pre-concert meal... The server was responsive, and explained your menu items very well! Thank you,

I came here before a show at one of the theaters nearby. It's a good thing I made a reservation as the restaurant was quite full. We got seated promptly and our server was attentive and quick with taking our orders. I opted for the buffalo chicken pizza. It's a good size portion and surprisingly had a kick to it. They are used to theatre goers having meals here so the food was brought out in a timely manner.

First time having brunch. Service is amazing but the food so so. I had shakshuka, it was watery, eggs rock hard they provide two little pieces of pita and when I was almost halfway through they brought me a spoon. I think they should take her off the menu as it's definitely not their forte. Dennis has always been good. We won't do brunch there again.

We had a fantastic brunch here before a theatre show. Service was speedy. Food was delicious, and our server was an absolute gem. The menu for weekend brunch is minimal, but our party of 3 each had a different meal and they were all excellent. They have perfected the menu and we will return!

As always the experience was great. Service was prompt; however, the experience is never rushed. We visited for brunch and had time to linger over coffee and chat. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, and the staff are friendly and pleasant.

Very mediocre. Seating was very uncomfortable. Food was bland, boring, and the menu was an odd mashup of different cuisines that simply did not make sense. Staff was lovely. Final bill was not. Best to head across the street to Hey Lucy or Casa Mezcal for quality meals without the snob prices.
Took my family here before a show at Princess of whales theatre. They were so understaffed and the place was packed. They are next door to the theatre. They know they will get theatre crowd who are on a tight timeline. Why weren't they properly staffed. The manager was even serving tables. Food was poor. Prices were ridiculous. $300 wasted. Never again.

Great lunch spot downtown, great service and location for anyone working around king west. Food does take a bit longer to prepare so make sure you have sufficient time during your lunch hour

O&B Canteen was a perfect choice for lunch before our theatre show. Food was good. Some parts of mine were a bit overcooked (mushrooms. Eggs) but still good. Ambience was fun, a bit loud as tables were placed very close together. Service was excellent.

I have eaten there a few times before going to the theatre. The service has always been great. Last night however, a cockroach crawling around under my table was enough for me. I assume where there is one there are likely alot more.

Brunch AffairFood: plating 4, flavour 2.5, execution 1.To note flavour profile gets messed up when execution is poor.Staff: friendly, but low key ditzy.Atmosphere:Tables too small. Reno is modern and fitting for being in the dead centre of the entertainment and financial district. Wall to ceiling windows are a great vibe, but would be concerned if I were to dine here in the summer due to possible air temperature problems.French Toast:I ordered the “Love me Tender, French Toast.” When it arrived, it had no chicken…..? When the server came to check on us, mind you we haven’t even taken a bite of anything yet, I told her this is wrong. To which she replied, “you said cinnamon French toast.” Me, “no I did not.” I can remember thinking the name was strange, but fitting when saying it out loud. I didn’t appreciate that she knowingly made a mistake and told me I was wrong. To the FOH, own your mistakes and stop putting stuff on the customers or BOH. She took the plate and returned with the same plate of food but with the chicken tenders SLAPPED onto the side. The chicken was somewhat crispy, light in colour, BUT WAY OVER COOKED AND DRY. I did not eat it, I took it home for my dogs. The french toast itself burnt and not enough syrup. I appreciate the playing effort.Shashuka: bread to sauce ratio was way off. Provide more bread or offer/suggest a surplus charge side when it is ordered. Eggs not runny, not fully solid. Favours of this dish was well balanced.Salad: very standard salad. Made well, but ingredients, such as the romaine had some piece that were off. Therefore there were pink rot on them.I would only return again after a period time aka when turn over of staff occurs to see if this place gets better.
