- AMAshley McMartin2 days ago5.0It was a great dinner for us. The fish tacos were AMAZING! Will definitely return!
- NLNancy Legassicke3 days ago3.0This used to be our go-to restaurant for fish tacos, but won’t go back. Coleslaw was swimming in sauce. Butter chicken just so-so and rice underdone.
- MBMaria BouyourisFeb 14, 20265.0Great food (gluten friendly options & knowledgeable staff) and Wonderful Service! Daryn was fantastic! Friendly, no pressure and a great way to spend a special evening out :)
- MMMaggie MFeb 6, 20265.0We were seated right away, the atmosphere was nice although some of the table settings seemed a little tight on space. We sat at a pub type table and normally I don't find these comfortable but this one was comfortable enough. Our Brussels Sprouts appetizer was delicious, I would definitely recommend them, and my butter chicken was well prepared and tasted authentic. The naan was fresh and soft and the rice was well cooked. The star of the show was the cinnamon roll bread pudding for dessert, wow, so good! We'll definitely be back.
- SASusan AbrahamJan 20, 20264.0Visited this location - very lively location. Seems to host large groups for celebrations which was nice. Staff were friendly and super efficient. Seating tiny bit awkward for the group I was with couldn’t combine tables but wasn’t a huge issue. Not very big location so spacing is tight. Menu wasn’t huge but had a variety of things to choose from seems to be a mix of Asian and regular pub food. I tried the salmon along with another person at our table. The serving sizes were two different sizes which was sort of strange. I got the smaller portion.. fish was nice but lacked flavour. Supposedly there was a maple butter but I couldn’t tell. Other people at the table ordered the steak and shrimp. It was tasty - steak was tender and shrimp was battered crispy and not over cooked. We also ordered the fish tacos. The tortillas weren’t great and fish was bland. Ordered burgers and that was decently priced and fries were great.. it was nice to try it. Might try the steak again but seems a bit expensive seems average place liked it but not really sure it’s my favourite to come back to again.
