My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary at the at this location. Our bartender Silvia who was extremely knowledgeable about drinks (Recommended the Bellini, the stone fruit margarita) and about menu items after listening to our personal tastes. Both my husband and I got what she ordered, and we absolutely loved it. Silvia, thank you for making our dining experience so much fun, and thank you for taking the time to follow through on great customer service from beginning to end, we hope to see you soon!!

We were lucky to have Trish served us today. Her smiles made us feel very comfortable when dining in. It has been a long time we didn't see anyone like her who liked her who liked her job so much. The restaurant has hired the right person.The new menus were great. We all liked it. If the menus could include calorie labelling, that would make it perfect.

Great service from Trish at the Markville location. We enjoyed our meal and she was an extremely friendly server.

I don’t know why the google review score is only 3. I would highly recommend this restaurant, as I myself came twice in one week. Relaxed music, polite and attentive server, especially Silvia T. She’s definitely a sweet angle for our birthday dinner.Each dish won’t disappoint you. We do enjoy food and relaxing time here.

Love going to the Pickle Barrel for our Friday night dinners. We are always so happy to be sitting in Sylvia's area. She is such an amazing person. She is always so friendly and lovely to talk to. You can see the passion she has while she is working Sylvia always makes our Pickle Barrel experience a pleasure. You should go check out that location and hopefully you get her as your server !

Food is good. Fish and chips, fish was crispy on one side but not the bottom as it was landed on fries that were hot and turned out a bit dampened.Service is not bad but... not good enough as very distracted and far from protection.When we arrived at the front, no one was serving. After waiting for 5 minutes, I had to go all the way deep into the restaurant to ask for one of the servers, as several of them walked pass me without addressing. The one who's supposed to be at the front was on the phone taking order while no one else was covering.The server was nice, however, when he was asking us for orders, one of us started, he said to give him a minute. He went taking care of some customers and back in about 5 minutes. That's inappropriate as it's not the correct way in serving customers. Totally distracted.All in all, below standard in service. Not acceptable.

I used to come here all the time and I loved it. But I feel like the food and service has just gone downhill since the last few times I have been. The service I feel like is always slow and the quality of food has really declined.Most recently, I came here on Mother’s Day and we waited so long to be even greeted by our server. When we went to use one of our napkins (the cloth rolled up napkin) there was hair inside of it. We were disgusted and unrolled the other 2 napkins to find hair wrapped up in those as well. I have photos of it but I am respectfully choosing not to post it. When our server finally came over I told her what we found and politely asked her to give us a few minutes to decide if we wanted to continue dining here and she took the napkins and just walked away. She didn’t apologize for the wait, which would have been nice considering more than 1/2 the tables were empty… and she didn’t apologize for all the hair we found in our eating utensils…We were so turned off by this experience we just left.So I guess in conclusion you can eat here upon your own discretion. Service is slow and not friendly, and the food is average (on the last times I have been here)

I came in on my own today and Deena was quick to greet me at the bar and ask for my drink. I ordered a white wine sangria and told her I had a few fruit allergies. She was very careful while making the drink and even cut me some fresh fruit. I ordered the grilled cheese and she suggested the house made tomato soup as it was her favourite. She is a great conversationalist and I enjoyed the company. Will definitely be back to this location.

The staff are the best. Ketel One and Soda rocks! This was a Haiku
