- MSmaya santos2 days ago5.0Bushra was so great as our server! And the happy hour menu so good!
- JVJulie VaswaniNov 16, 20253.0The overall experience was good. The atmosphere is beautifully decorated and the food is tasty. This time however, there were a few downfalls. The waitress was not very friendly and did not check on us too much throughout our dining. She took my husband's and my order, but forgot to inquire about the kids meal entree for my daughter. As a result, we decided we would share our meals with her instead... The smash burger was DELICIOUS but this time the cheese slices were cold and not melted. The crispy chicken sandwich arrived as a Nashville hot crispy chicken (which I intended to share with my daughter but couldn't because of the heat. On the plus side, the balance of flavours in this sandwich was on point... the only comment I would have on this sandwich is that I was expecting a chicken breast, not a cutlet, but the panko crust is surley a nice touch. I would still return because I do think the food and atmosphere is great.. likely just a one-off experience for the day.
- BBBillieNov 13, 20255.0Our server Victoria was fantastic, very friendly and attentive to the needs of the table. Food was good, busy on a Saturday night but the service was flawless.
- GGGSNov 9, 20255.0I came yesterday (Saturday, November 8), and Bushra’s service was fantastic! My husband and I loved everything about our dinner but our favourite part was her smile. She looks like someone who genuinely enjoys her job and loves talking to people. If I could give her a 10 star alone, I would. Also, the new steak and bang bang shrimp was a great addition.
- KFKen AP FlemingNov 6, 20255.0Our waitresss Isabella was so friendly and so fast with all of our needs. Thank you so much for make our dinner stay enjoyable.
