    I would have given 5 stars for service but there were so many big tables I understand the delay but we never went unnoticed! Thanks to Devon for a great cocktail!

    I bit loud for me but the food and service were good. The decibel level is high for me. Really couldn’t hear each other talk. Everything else was great.

    We've tried so hard to like this place, but out of the 3 times we have been, twice we have had absolutely awful service and horrible drinks. The food is also very mediocre with odd portion sizes and very high prices i.e. the poutine came with a handful of fries and cost $15 where every sandwich and kids meal came with at least 4 times the amount of fries that the app came with. Service was incredibly slow and she didn't know the menu at all. She got every single one of our drinks wrong and when they did get them "right" they tasted awful. Also when the bill came all of the inaccurate items she ordered for us were still on the bill. Restaurant has a great concept with the live music, but the execution is sub par at best.
