We will definitely return and also recommend to others.

Took 1/2 hour for drinks and they weren’t made correctly and had to send back to be done correctly, small plates were ok but arrived before the drinks. The manager wasn’t helpful and when we mentioned that we were still awaiting our wine etc his answer was she’s working on it instead of jumping in to help her as she was obviously struggling. Main course was ok as well not HOT and actually not what we were used receiving to at the flagship on Whyte Ave. Again our server was very pleasant but needs trading. Probably won’t go back as there are many options downtown that can make the experience outstanding for the same amount of $$$

This time I went I wasn't aware there would be live music, and normally I find this too loud, but the Host was really understanding and kind and helped shuffle things around so me and my party could have a table further away from the music which was very helpful.

There were times we were competing with the music while talking to the server and each other making it hard to hear. A couple string instruments would have been a better choice in the space.
