    My son took me for lunch and it was outstanding! The food was great, the service was superb and the atmosphere was awesome! Also the company was extra good! Even though it was busy we could still communicate just fine! I would recommend the Broken plate to anyone who likes Mediterranean cuisine!

    We really enjoyed our time at Pigeonhole Downtown. The staff were all so helpful and seemed happy to be there tbh. The food was all done nicely, while it’s not reinventing the eating experience, everything was very tasty. We were there for happy hour, which was an absolute deal! Will be back for sure and to try the mains.

    Great place for a quiet dinner. They held a great table for us in front of the fireplace. The staff was very attentive. A really nice atmosphere. The food was very, very good as well. The selection was a bit limited for my wife but overall it was a wonderful experience
