    We usually eat at the South Queensferry branch but had a show at the playhouse so decided to check out the city centre venue. Food was good, service unfortunately wasn’t great and hindered our experience.

    House poutine x 4 / Montreal cheese steak / 2 x bacon cheese burgers / Caesar salad / maple wings = 2 very happy adults and 3 very happy teenage boys. Pilot beer on draft always a bonus as brewed only a mile away. Staff happy and attentive but never in your face. Good vibes. Always love it here!!
