Service is great. The ladies are absolutely wonderful. If your looking at getting the Three Cheese Ravioli from their limited time menu, don't. The flavour is good but you will only get 7 ravioli and get charged $23 for it. It is not worth the price.

Honestly, this was a great meal and even better experience.
The service was fantastic, our server accomodates our picky eating and the kitchen delivered on the notes.
It was a great dinner. Jalapeno Mac and cheese is delicious, burger was super good ( double smash one).
The poutine was the best I've had since laval days.
Must try this spot.
PS, our Server was very dedicated to making sure our baby was also being taken care of. Very nice of her. She deserves praise Lauren for her service
