    Amazing food and service! The smash burgers were to die for, and the desserts were so good. Highly recommend. Our waiter was super helpful without being constantly in our face. We loved our experience

    The burger with caesar salad was very good but the fish tacos were extremely small and overly spicy. Service was good and our meals came quickly which was good as I had an appointment I had to get to. It was very busy and noisy as there is nothing to soak up sounds.

    My hubby and I went here for a pre-theatre meal and it was good. We were seated promptly with water filled for us. The menu is quite limited but we found things we liked. We ordered a mimosa, the Benedict and the fish and chips. Both dishes were quite delicious, and served promptly.

    Service very good, ambiance good, but for the cost of my Kale Csesar Salad with chicken, I felt the salad could have been a bit bigger.

    Always a reliable place to come before the Symphony (or theatre). Food is good and reasonably priced. Without Mirvish on this evening it was very quiet and not rushed which was very nice.
