Service was amazing. Our server was cheerful and nice. Food was great. The surprised tiramisu at the end offered for the bday celebration was delicious .

Service not the greatest - took a long time to get the check. The seat had torn up upholstery. Nothing too great overall.

We were looking for a fun place to have dinner before a show at the QE theater.We chose this place because it was close to the train and a 10 minute walk to the theater.We booked on OpenTable, we arrived about 15 mins early and they sat us right away.Venue is dark, with classic decor. Think old school classy bar with modern touches.Fortunately for me and my girlfriend we arrived early because we caught the last bit of happy hour. They have house wine for 6 bucks, and beer for 5. 4 please. They have a small happy hour menu.We chose pizza, fried cauliflower, and Meatballs. All full portion size and excellent.The menu us for sure Italian inspired. Pizza is thin crust. Lots of appetizer, pasta, pizza, and a few mains.The service was great, attentive but not hovering.Interesting point, the rest room is shared men and women. Separate stalls and a communal sink. It's quite nice actually but I wasnt used to it and you have to be ready or be surprised

Food and service was much better than we expected.... The was more than ample

The Distillery We dropped by for a drink but the nice environment and beautiful design made us stay for their Sunday special which was great as well as the excellent service. Definitely worthwhile visiting!

We made a reservation over a month in advance to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday for brunch, and had a very interesting experience. Once arrived, it took close to 20 mins before a member of the staff came to the table, close to 45-50 mins before we were served any drinks, and close to an hour and a half before we were served any food. We were told that they were short staffed, which we can all appreciate given these unprecedented times, however during that time multiple large walk-in groups were seated and served before we even had water glasses. Overall, great food and a place we have loved to come in the past, however the service and timeliness was quite disappointing. I would still recommend the restaurant, though with the forewarning about the service.

Sat at one end of long table which was great for our group of five. Nice size portions and our fabulous waiter Rob, with a great sense of humour, had us sample our wine before finalizing the order. Lots of fun and good food. Thx

Our server was attentive. He offered to replace my drink because it tasted off.Very accommodating for large groups.30 year old crew.Great music.Trendy and dressy attire.

Every time we come here there is some issue. I guess this was the last time for us.My wife was waiving her arms around trying to get some attention to bring some salt to our table. Every waitresses would look at us and walk away. So I decided to get up and walk myself towards the salt and pepper stand. That's when the manager noticed me and decided to help me. Yeay, got myself some salt and pepper.Then I ask the waitress for a napkin that never came. So once again I had to get it myself.At last I asked for the bill. I told the waitress that she had forgotten to bring me my napkins and that the salt had a dead bug inside and she said "sorry", and that's all. Ironically, the bill was the only thing they were worried to bring fast.Thanks again for the horrible brunch service.

Best Cesar's in town and amazing food. Meat hash and avocado toast is always my go to. Never go wrong with that. Very friendly staff
