   We had a reservation but didn’t even get seated. Not because it was busy (there were only people at 2 tables) but because there was no hostess and the waitress kept making eye contact with us but just walked away and didn’t say anything to us. We waited 5 mins to be seated but no one ever came so we left and went to down the street to a different restaurant to eat. Can’t rate the food as we didn’t even get the option to eat.

   I am a seafood lover. The seafood was good but the broth needed a lot more flavour. My daughter was my date and we had a blast.

   Terrible service. Had to ask for a drink menu 3 times before we gave up on our server and asked another. She left us for an hour and a half without checking on us. We wanted to order food and had to beg a second server to get ours. Good was mediocre at best and wasn’t served hot but prices were higher than most places in the area. Went to watch UFC and although sound was on it wasn’t loud enough to hear. When we finished eating it took 30 mins to find our server to ask for the bill, then she delivered it and left for 30 mins before coming back with the machine so we could pay. When we finally did leave we found her outside flirting with the security guard at the front door which is probably why we couldn’t find her all night. 1/10 would not recommend to anyone

   Booked a dining room reservation for my girlfriend’s birthday… really excited to try this interesting style of restaurant as they have (or are supposed to have) a variety of games and activities you can partake in beyond just eating and leaving. When we arrived, the entire place was covered in cardboard boxes like they just got a delivery and for some reason decided to pack their entire dining room with the packages instead of unpacking them. With that in mind, you could barely enter the restaurant with all the boxes and junk lining the halls. No access to dining room, no host to meet at the door, we weren’t even sure the place was open, the door was propped open we thought maybe they were supposed to be closed and a worker forgot to shut the door. We made our way to the rooftop patio as the rest of the place was inaccessible. Host (on rooftop)ignored that my reservation was for the dining room and sat us on the rooftop patio, already upset that we were put on the rooftop patio (it was a cold day and I HATE eating outside so we never would’ve come if they were honest with us and informed customers that only the rooftop patio is open at this moment) they gave us a table so wobbly it just about tipped my drink. We asked for another one and directed them to a free table, their response was that the other table was EVEN WORSE. Luckily, a few minutes later another table became available. Our waitress introduced herself when we sat down and we never saw her again for the rest of the evening. After waiting 30 minutes for the waitress who never showed up again, we eventually just flagged down the bartender and placed our order with him. We ordered appetizers and a cocktail, which were overpriced but decent. After a while, in the cold and uncomfortable crowded patio the experience just became so sour that we left without ordering entrees, to go eat at another restaurant. Ended up costing me nearly $100 and we didn’t even get to eat! Horrible way to spend one’s 25th birthday!

   Loved the roof top patio. Excellent service from Lily. Cocktails were yummy. So was poutine. Didn’t like the pizza. Nachos were okay - not enough cheese. Music got really loud later on.

   Took half an hour for a server to take our order, or even approach our table even with a reservation. This was after having to ask the host for someone to help us multiple times and when our server finally did come over the service was poor and so was her attitude.

    The service was superb. The food was not great. Ordered the cabonara and it tasted off. Also the chicken tenders themselves were not seasoned, just the breading.
