    I made a reservation two days in advance for a business lunch. We had business at the convention center, so this seemd like a sensible spot. And unlike other restuarants in the immediate area, I was able to book a table online. When we arrived, we were told "we did not have a reservation." When I noted I had made a reservation online and pulled up the info, I was told "our reservation tablet doesnt even work." If you have a reservation, I would call to ensure it is honored lol. We were lucky, and only had to wait 5-10 minutes, but this could have been bad. Will not be scheduling business lunches here again.

    We went on a very cold Sunday. We had a reservation, but it really wasn't needed. It was really good. I had chicken wild rice soup & apple pie before a show at the Walker. Anyway, there weren't many people there when we went.

    Service is what prompted this review. Alex was our server and she was exceptional. Completely understands hospitality.

    The restaurant was completely empty when I arrived at 6:30pm. I went upstairs to the bar area and it was desolate as well. However, Will, the bartender, was absolutely fabulous. He said the pancakes were divine and he did not lie!! The eggs tasted weird and the bacon was just okay. But, I would definitely go back again!

    Good, reliable diner food in a convenient location, but atrocious service: waiter had to be reminded repeatedly of reasonable requests, was nowhere to be seen for extended stretches, then we had to threaten to walk out in order to get our bill. Good to excellent service on previous visits... we expect our 7/15 waiter won't be around much longer!

    Neighborhood food establishment. Not like the northeast diners. Ordered: onion rings with ranch sauce - great; poutine - not like the Canadian version, French fries with fried cheese curds and brown gravy. I prefer the Canadian version of tater tots with brown gravy and fresh cheese curds melted on top.
