Since the first time I went I fell in love with the people, the food and the feeling you get when you come in. Drinks and food are insanely delicious and the people ….awww the people are outstanding. They always remember me and my guy when we come in and staff will pop over even when not serving us just to say they missed us and hello.

Had a good meal and visit with a friend tonight. The young woman who served us was very friendly, informative and attentive without being overbearing. We tried the burger and the Atlantic cod, both of which were great.

Perfect environment to have a business meeting or a casual outing with friends. It's been a while since I've enjoyed an establishment all around like that one. Beautiful array of staff and management were all magnificent. We will be going back there more often.

The food was really good, I had the sirloin steak and was surprised how good it was! The baked brie was phenomenal as well, going to try and replicate it at home

About the restaurant

We accept limited reservations during Ice District event days (games and concerts). If you are not able to secure a reservation on Open Table, we do have plenty of availability for walk-ins; we would encourage you to arrive a minimum of 2 hours prior to the event start time in order to avoid lengthy wait times.

We believe in providing a mix of essential food classics and contemporary staples to create the perfect Canadian menu to be enjoyed alongside our beer. We have taken on the responsibility of localizing the beer experience by making authentic, fresh craft products that establish a new, truly Canadian beer culture.

About the restaurant

Dare to be a little different and go against the grain with the latest Century Hospitality Group property. We’re a gathering place for family and friends to enjoy a variety of innovative food & drink. Life is full of rules. We’re a restaurant, we’re a lounge. We’re afterwork drinks on the way home, we’re brunch on the weekend with the family. We’re beers with the guys, we’re champs with the girls. We don’t need rules here! Just good times.

Our stylish room and casual inviting atmosphere will put you at ease while you taste, sip, and savour our creations. We want you to sit back and enjoy. No one’s going to raise an eyebrow if you order dessert first and sure, you can keep your hat on.

**If you can not make a reservation on OpenTable, contact us at (780) 752-7325

We six girlfriends have been meeting together just before Christmas for years probably since it first opened. Tonight was our best night yet with the food, the deco, our round table and servers. Each year you continue to improve and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Amazing food! Brisket burger was flavourful and juicy, the side salad was actually my favourite! A light salad with fantastic flavour. Our server was great as well! My first time here but will definitely come more often after trying it once!
