Blink offers a mixed dining experience according to feedback from recent patrons.

What sprigabigs dislikes about Blink:
Meat?? What the heck is going on? I understand the pandemic might make supplies difficult to get or more expensive, but to swap out your fresh ground beef for the Ace burger to a frozen patty of yuck? At least tell the customer that your $19.00 burger is now available from McDonals. So disappointing. Our tomato soup was cold and needed to ask to be reheated. The waiter was impersonal at best.

Everything we ordered was fantastic (tasty, unique dishes), and the service was great.
Very nice sea bream filet. Good portion for lunch. Much better than salmon. Good service.
Our server was wonderful. We brought in a service dog in training and everyone was very respectful. The food was delicious and offered something for the vegetarians as well as the meat-eaters. Highly recommend

Went with a group of 5 and we shared three appetizers and three mains. All were VERY GOOD. Portions are small and priced higher than average. It was not very busy when we were there and service was awesome. This is date night or intimate corporate meal spot with many 'night cap ' options near by. Blink had a good Wine and Whiskey selection! Top appy goes to the Octopus and best main to the Duck.

Service was excellent, food was excellent, the atmosphere was fun and we would definitely return!!!!
This is definitely the WORST food we have been presented since moving here 7 months ago. Fish tacos tasted processed and like our cat’s food smells, fries were limp and lukewarm. Pulled pork was mushy and overly sweet and generally unpleasant. Server was taciturn and unfriendly until it came to pay the cheque when she warmed up. Beer was decent though and location pretty good. But don’t eat here. I had a restless night with bouts of nausea and it wasn’t the 2 beers I had. 2/10
Located on Stephen Avenue, in the heart of the downtown this Original Joes is average, nothing fancy, just like any other in the chain. It didn’t seem to get overly busy there which meant it somewhat lacked atmosphere. Best value is to visit during the happy hours. A few drinks weren’t available due to current shortages, so that was disappointing. Staff are friendly and welcoming.
First time visiting this location. The restaurant is very nice. The large outdoor patio was very nice. The staff seem friendly and happy to be back

At least tell the customer that your $19.00 burger is now available from McDonals. So disappointing. Our tomato soup was cold and needed to ask to be reheated. The waiter was impersonal at best. After spending $160.00 for 4 dishes that were sub par with sad service and swapped out meat….we won’t be back.

Our waiter was great! he had great wein suggestions and could get us out in time to enjoy a show. overall had a great night with good eating and beautiful ambiente.
We must have hit an off night because our dinner was boring and tasteless. The char tasted muddy, more like wet cardboard. Our server was great and recommended a wonderful wine.
