    Our food was fantastic, portions are large. Our service was amazing. Even though it was super busy it wasn’t loud and we didn’t wait on anything. Highly recommend

    We enjoyed it food. Our server was nice and helpful. The music was way too loud. I know I’m older, but it was very hard to have conversation at our table.

    Good pasta - Atmosphere and service was good, we went before a concert so of course it was busy. Price point was good and the food and drinks were yummy! Bad parts - the hostess sat us at a dirty table and I had to ask her to wipe it down, the table was extremely wobbly to the point where we thought it was probably broken, and the bathrooms were disgusting!

    To be honest, the food wasn't that bad! We had drinks and appetizers, but both were great! The overall look of the place is hideous. Absolutely run down and look like lipstick on a pig. Tables were all wobbly, tile had huge holes in it, and just looked dirty. The girls' outfits were a bit tasteless for a family restaurant downtown. Would I come again? Probably not, but it was the only place taking reservations the same day, and I see why.

    They leave the front doors wide open so the restraint is really chilly. First seated at a broken table. Waited 10 minutes for a reseat. The service was really slow. Zero drink refills and server never checked on us.

    Casual place, good food, fair price and friendly service. Fries were exceptional and I never thought I would say that about French Fries. Perfect place to go before an event downtown, especially the Footprint Center. I recommend making a reservation. Place was busy but when we arrived on time, our table was ready.

    The food quality was not great, very slow even though it was not that busy. Overpriced.

    We had reservations and were seated right away. After that, the experience went downhill. We waited an hour - seriously, no exaggeration - a full hour and no one came to our table. The restaurant was not even full. We tried to make eye contact or say hello to passing servers - nothing. Not even a, “Sorry, I’ll send your server over.” And it wasn’t just us. I spotted at least three other tables who were also sitting with nothing but water and who were trying to flag down a server. This night there was a concert at the Footprint Arena - they should have been primed and ready for a big crowd. But no. AND, the concert was canceled so there wasn’t nearly the crowd there should have been. So service - zero. Food - what was coming out of the kitchen didn’t look nearly as nice as their photos - zero. The bathroom had its soap dispenser detached and sitting on the counter, a shattered mirror, and one toilet out of action in a ghastly way. This restaurant needs serious attention from its management. Do not book a table here.
