   Our service was not good at all. Our waiter barely paid attention to us. Comes and refills one person water and not everyone else. The girl giving out dishes was wearing full on sweat pants and her customer service was horrible. I believe her name was Jenny? Overall, would not come back to this location.

   It's our second time there and first for dinner. Our first lunch experience was good and that prompted our second dinner try. To be honest, it was an underwhelming experience. We had the fried chicken + garlic panko where the chicken was a bit dry & hard. The bone marrow + steak bowl was interesting but the steak was chewy. The scallop + prawn linguini was better but was lukewarm. Service was good.

   Food was great, ordered the fried chicken and shrimp appetizers, both fantastic and well seasoned. Staff was extremely attentive, multiple people checking in to ensure we had a good experience, would definitely go back.

   Food was not the greatest, my party was less than impressed with the choices. Bathroom was an absolute nightmare, blood in toilets and poopy toilet paper on the floor, absolutely disgusting. Waitress disappeared after collecting half of our finished plates, took forever to flag someone down to pay. Would not dine here again

   Delicious food with Very spacious dining area. No specific server for tables but it’s alright. When you wave, the serve comes.

   The value you get from their Happy Hour is far greater than the value you get from their lunch or dinner. I personally would not go there outside of Happy Hour unless someone else is paying. While their cocktails are priced higher even than many places located downtown, some of them are rather creative and innovative - White Sangria is a pretty decent deal during Happy Hour ($11). I absolutely love their Grilled Broccolini ($13 during Happy Hour) and Wagyu Bolognese ($25 during Happy Hour) shared with a friend, which would usually come to about $32 for me, including tax. My strategy is that I would catch the very last bit of Happy Hour and basically treat that as my dinner, so then I would be more inclined to do intermittent fasting that day. The location is basically a converted warehouse, so it doesn't feel very intimate or cozy, but the bookshelf design is not too bad. If our hockey team makes it to the finals and playoffs, I hope they offer much cheaper drinks to attract patrons. I would pay out of my own pocket for a $19 Old Fashioned to watch a game at their bar because as an Old Fashioned lover, I have had tons of much better Old Fashioned for half of that price even in downtown Vancouver and downtown Toronto.

   Would have been nice to have something special since we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday on the reservation. Otherwise food is great. The one waiter serving all the tables was a bit stretched.

    They have really high ceilings, so it got quite cold in the restaurant. As a result food got cold quickly on the table. Creamy butter garlic prawns were excellent, but the burger patty was dry and bone marrow taste was below average. Not worth the price that was charged.
