   I recently had lunch at Pigeonhole Downtown with a few friends. Overall, the experience was okay—not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The food was decent, with a few creative touches here and there, and the service was friendly and professional. The ambiance is stylish and relaxed, which made for a comfortable setting to catch up with friends. That said, we all felt the prices were a bit on the higher side considering the portion sizes and overall experience. While I understand that quality ingredients and a nice atmosphere can come at a premium, I’m not sure the value quite matched the cost. It’s not a place I’d rush back to, but if you’re looking to try something different and don’t mind spending a little more, it might be worth checking out.

   Love a family style meal, such a great way to sample a bunch of different meals and flavors. Surprise winner was the cabbage small plate, yum!

   The food was good, although a tricky menu for a business lunch, particularly if there are only two people eating.

   I feel so spoiled and taken care of uppon every visit to pigeonhole at the core and I adore the staff at cafe next door as well, special shout out to Miss Robin and all the staff at pigeonhole. I honestly can't remember my servers name from last night but he was incredibly attentive but also gave me my space to relax and fully enjoy myself. Clearly a well run restaurant, and has quickly become my favourite little save heaven while out and about downtown for doc's appointment and what not. Thank youuu to all the staff. 💚💜 I was even just delighted to have such a comfort cozy table last night while the restaurant was slow. While Barbararella was packed 😆 I adore this place. My favorite cafe, the monkey bread 😍🥰 and the grapefruit brûlée are my absolute favouritest items. Brilliant chefs with extraordinary execution of technique. It is easily the highlight of my week to spend a few hours in your dining room. Thank you again. G
