   Spent 500 dollars and only tried like 7 things. The servers barely came to our table and there was like a 10 minutes wait period in-between.

   Our table’s location is not that nice. We were. A relatively large group. Food experience was not as good as compared to before. Our server Jessica was awesome though.

   We visited for my girlfriend’s birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was completely unacceptable. First, one of the servers dropped parmesan cheese onto me when cutting the meat. I don’t think he was aware, but when I was wiping the cheese, he didn’t even apologize and acted like it was normal. Shortly after, another server accidentally squirted blood on me while slicing meat. Neither incident was acknowledged — I had to be the one to raise it with our server. No one showed any real concern or made any effort to address what happened. To make matters worse, the same server kept putting the slicing plates directly on my napkin without asking to move it aside, showing zero awareness or basic service etiquette. Also, despite asking twice for grilled pineapple, we waited over 15 minutes while nearby tables were served first. We stayed much longer than we wanted, just waiting for something that should have been simple. Because it was a special occasion, I chose not to make a scene, but the service did not come close to justifying an automatic 18% gratuity on a $190 bill. I brought it up, but the person said it’s their policy. I just wanted to get out of there and didn’t want to make a bigger scene as I didn’t want to spoil my girlfriend’s birthday. For comparison, I’ve had much better experiences at their Eglinton branch, and even at upscale restaurants like Canoe — where, when a mishap occurred, it was handled quickly and professionally and addressed by the manager before I even had to mention anything. That’s real service. Food was good but service was as horrible. After this visit, I would not recommend this location to anyone.

   This place has gone downhill. The servers only serve you for the first 25 minutes and then start skipping your table. Even when you request certain items, you'll be waiting 10 to 20 minutes at least for them to bring it. I think they want you to fill up on the sides which aren't that great. We ended up being there for the whole 2 hours because we hardly got any meat. This place used to be amazing but it's went down hill. For the price, we won't be returning.

   Food was decent, just found the different steaks a bit salty. The server did his best to get the chef to go lighter on sodium. Overall great experience, chicken, salmon, and sides were excellent. Great value for money. Ambiance good but very loud and energetic vibe.

    Had to keep asking for the meat selections to be brought to our table. We only had meat come 5 times and portions are EXTREMELY small. Had to wait over 20 min before server came to our table upon arrival. Side dishes came out quickly. Way too much money at over $100pp after drinks included for so little food.
