    God Bless Canada and this Godly restaurant. Our server, Michell, was the best server I have ever had. The potatoes were so good I would give up my offspring to have more of those things. I also ordered the Ginger Beef which they covered in brandy and set on fire. Talk about an entrance! I’ve regained my faith in humanity now that I know food this wonderful exists, I will be back tomorrow for sure
