    I was a shock to learn if the dry menu. Zero alcohol. Other than that, it’s beautiful. Recommend going again, just not as a starter to a night on the town 😂

    Service was kind of slow but it seemed like the waiter had a lot of tables. Desserts were delicious.

    Went after a concert on a Saturday night. 10/10 would recommend but definitely need a reservation. Waited 10ish minutes even with one. Service was a tad slow especially given how later is was/ few hours until closed. Only other negative was there was no alcohol/ cocktails and I didn't find that was well known/ easy to find out.

    Great beef and veggie burgers, delicious fries, fresh salads, and splendid desserts. The little birthday surprise for one us was a lovely treat. The service was friendly and professional.

    Lovely spot, and our server was excellent, just be prepared to wait. Service was exceptionally slow, but was told they were short staffed, however it was also slow the last time I was there. Would definitely return tho.

    Service was a little slow at first, but good after we ordered. The food was fantastic except the nachos we ordered to go. When we got back to the room and opened the box up they looked great, but under the top layer of chips there was all chips and no cheese or toppings. It was a small box, so they were stacked thickly- Disappointed. Ask them to layer cheese and toppings if you order.

    The burger melted in my mouth. The white chocolate brownie cake was delicious. Beautiful decor.

    The waiter we had rushed us the entire time. Tried to bring us our desert before even bringing out meal, asking us (not even exaggerating) every 30 seconds if we had made our dessert selection before we finally gave up & chose something random so he would stop bothering us, and then tried to bring us our cheque every min or so once the dessert arrived. He made us feel as though it was not intended for us to actually enjoy our meal. It was more to get in and out. All in all I would not go back because of this person.
