                    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 😊

                    Normally I have enjoyed the food but today the pizza was very salty and the kale salad I requested with light dressing came drenched in dressing. Disappointed with our lunch.

                    We arrived about 20mins early fornour reservation but the staff accommodated us with no issue. For the duration of our stay, our server was courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our food was delicious (we shared 4 different appetizers) amd the drinks were fantastic. We would totally go back in a heartbeat.
