                    Noisy Christmas lunch with a prospect was difficult to hear the conversation. I anticipated this and the staff tried to accomodate me with a quieter table.

                    Had a reservation and no one came by for 20 mins. I had to ask a staff member passing by to order as we were on lunch and did not have the luxury to sit for 2 hours! Service was good, but the slight discount does not suffice.

                    Food and service were great! The Alberta salad seemed to be a much smaller portion than in the past but its delicious, as were the ribs and pizza. It would be nice if you’d consider a wine feature on Thursday so we could make this a standing Thursday reso 😊
