    I really appreciated that the host and server accommodated our request for a lower table given we had a couple of kids and my Mom walks with a cane. The server went out of her way to make the kids feel welcome which makes the adults feel welcome too. We got some free pepperoni sticks for the kids and they got their food early. All good!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a positive rating! We were sorry that you were not enjoying the ambience that we set when there is NFL or the Canucks are playing but many of our clientele would request to play the sound to these games. Glad to hear you were happy with everything else !!!

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us 5 stars! Our upstairs section of the restaurant often closes at different times depending on foot traffic and staffing levels, we apologise that we couldn't fulfil what you were hoping for but are glad you were still able to enjoy yourselves

    We usually love coming here for happy hour, but this time, their pizzas (margarita and double pepperoni) were really dry and a bit burnt. The maple bacon chicken wings were good but there wasn’t much bacon bits this time. The service was really lovely, but overall, our experience was not as good as our other visits.
