    Arrived with a group of seven for a 5:15pm dinner. Server was nice, took our drink and dinner order by memory. We all found it odd that she did, but went with it. Sure enough, she came back and asked a couple of us to repeat our order, which we did. Then she came back and said that the very common beer three of us ordered was not available, and offered a bartender's suggestion as a replacement, which we went with. She then came back and said my wife's red wine she chose was not available, offered a substitution, which my wife accepted. Finally, the dinner we ordered arrived as the appetizer version, which we rejected and waited for the dinner portion, which didn't take long to arrive. Everyone was then pleased with the food, which was hot and tasty. Our server was nice, and took our constructive criticism regarding writing down the orders in stride. My complaint is not necessarily with her, it's about the restaurant and not having the servers prepared and not having beer and wine on the menu available. This is something I've seldom seen. Overall, I wasn't super impressed with the experience and I'm not planning on going back.

    Great energy, service, and food. Brianne was a fantastic server. Busy night because of the World Series Blue Jays game but she was nonetheless attentive to what we needed, whether it was following up on delayed orders or a glass of water. Thanks so much for a great night!

    I took my husband here for his birthday since he loves good beer and pizza. I had made a reservation in advance as I’d heard the place tends to get quite busy. I had originally booked a patio table, but since it had rained the previous night, the patio was closed. They were kind enough to call and inform me ahead of time, which I really appreciated. We started with some truffle fries and, of course, a few beers. They have an impressive selection of beers; however, it was disappointing that they don’t offer tasters based on your preferences. For our mains, we ordered a pizza—which was absolutely delicious—and a burger that was just okay. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. Overall, it’s a great spot for good food, great beer, and a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere.

    A Refreshing Drink in a Dull Setting ​I recently joined my colleagues for a Friday happy hour outing at this local bar. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I was pleased to see a non-alcoholic option on the menu and opted for the Berry Mojito. It was truly the highlight of the visit—incredibly refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly mixed. It’s great when a bar makes an effort for non-drinkers! ​Unfortunately, the positives stopped there. ​The ambiance felt like an "old bar" in the less charming sense of the phrase. It wasn't particularly welcoming, lacking any modern updates or unique character that would make you want to stay and relax. It felt a bit tired, which didn't set a great mood for a Friday wind-down. ​More disappointingly, the customer service was subpar. Our server seemed visibly annoyed and genuinely uninterested in providing any level of customer service. When you are going out for a relaxing time, encountering a dismissive or apathetic staff member is a big turn-off.
