Wednesday night 2-4-1! Amazing! Both the vego options (pumpkin gnocchi and the eggplant dish) are delicious. As are the fish options. Happy hour all drinks 4-6pm, it's worth perching yourself on the little deck upstairs for views over Boundary St for a pre-dinner bevo.

Food was average. Steak was a bit chewy and salty, came here on Valentine's Day and the tables arranged were quite close to the other diners. Pretty awkward feeling when you can hear what's going on on the other table. The entree tasted better than main. Nice atmosphere, staff was slow when ready to order, overall average experience.

We had an exceptional night at Lock n Load Bistro. The service was wonderful- drink and food orders were taken promptly. Food was brought out in good time; and it was delicious! We had a range of share plates and mains which were all delicious! Lovely atmosphere and all round great experience.

"Another great spot to check out in Westend! The live music is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the beer selection is excellent. The atmosphere is lively, and the inner garden provides a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a beer in peace. In the evenings, jazz concerts take place at the entrance, allowing you to enjoy the music from the street. While drinks can't be taken outside, smokers can still enjoy the tunes on the sidewalk. This bar-restaurant is truly a gem, frequented by the best crowd in the neighborhood!"
