    Pricing was decent for the area of Toronto. Good was good. Citrus and beat salad was good and the portion size of the mains was just right.

    We are a family of four and came in for a late lunch. It was surprisingly quiet with only one other table occupied in the dining room. This might be because it was March Break. We couldn’t see the bowling or arcade action from the dining room. In any case, we enjoyed the food and the service was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the tuna poke, national burger, dry ribs and fries. Note it is happy hour from 2-5pm so a few items are half price which is great. Our kids played in the arcade while we sat in the bowling area which is more fun and casual which some large couches set up by TVs. We felt it would have been better to sit in that area for our meal - now we know for next time! Bowling is $120/hour which is really expensive compared to other bowling alleys so we opted out. They do offer half price bowling on weekends for brunch so that’s something we might consider for next time! All in all, we enjoyed the visit and would recommend especially if you can go during one of their happy hours or half price bowling times.
