    The entrance to Prequel is amazing. It’s like stepping back in time. The bar and seating area are more modern with dark walls and comfortable seating. We ordered 4 cocktails but we didn’t like any of them! The table beside us also didn’t like their drinks. The drinks had perfume or bubble bath flavors that made them literally hard to swallow.

    The food is excellent but takes a while, even when the restaurant is slow. There was a subtle, pleasant fragrance to the place before it was crowded. Go before 8 if you prefer a quiet environment. It would be nice if they discouraged flash photography and had a minimal dress code to preserve the excellent ambience. There is a wonderful mix of seating options that is inclusive and disability friendly. The service was relaxed and warm, just a bit slow, but that may have been understaffing issues. We had reservations, but it took a while just to get in. The prices were a bit high, but the quality is high. Flavors, temperatures and textures were excellent. The only issue we had was that the bread under the steak tartar was overly firm, but that may have been because we had to wait a long while for silverware. I highly recommend it. The experience made our night.

    Loved the cocktails and the vibe but the food was underwhelming We were a table of two seated between two tables of 5 on the banquet and it was hard to chat with no out yelling.

    Our server was quite rude. We ended up having a extra guest with us so our reservation for 4 was for 5 people. Once the table of 2 beside us left, we asked if we could use the table to be a bit more comfortable. Our server rudely stated "ABSOLUTELY NOT, we have reservations." We didn't ask to have the table the entire time, a simple "unfortunately, we have a reservation coming in" would've sufficed. I'll just add in... the table remained empty the entire time from when we asked to when we left. We would have let go of the fact that the food and drinks were nothing exciting, however, the behaviour of our server was absolutely unacceptable. Thankfully, there are many great options to choose from in this city not including Prequel and Co Apothecary. Needless to say, we will not be returning here.
