    Usually the food is great, but this time the meals were overcooked & the dessert was stale. Service was really slow too.

    Best burger - seriously was so good! And the help could not be more welcoming. The host was gracious and welcoming (was nice to be treated so well) and our server who also made amazing drinks was brilliant. If you want the best burger try this. You will say "wow, best burger I have had in quite awhile." And the tomato soup was delicious!

    What a great night we had! Thank you for accommodating our large party for my daughter's 16th birthday. She picked the restaurant and we weren't disappointed. Steph was an attentive and responsive waitress. The appetizers were amazing: poutine and brussel sprouts. Dinners were great. Steph even brought over a candle in one of the desserts we ordered for our birthday girl. We will be back. Thank you.
