We had the sweetest server today, her name is maya, she’s got the best character I’ve seen in a server in a long time, food was warm and was out right as we finished out salads, I feel like I could talk to her all day. She deserves to know she’s doing absolutely phenomenal 🫶🏻

First of all, entering from the mall entrance is a no-no. After standing for 10 minutes they ushered us to the back of the line at the front door.
The soup and salad were fine but the entrées came out luke warm. The service seemed slow all around. It was Tuesday night and only 3/4 full.
Plus it's a small thing but perhaps change your tap signs. If you don't sell Rickards Red you shouldn't display the sign.
Not alot of Cape Breton hospitality in this restaurant.

Food was average, fine but definetly have had better pasta elsewhere. Pasta flavor was very mild, but the chicken was good. Was very busy and seemed possibly understaffed & staff seemed overwhelmed. Staff checked in a few times if we needed anything and were friendly & food came fast regardless. Seemed like they’re doing their best but just didn't taste anything special especially for the price and portion size.
