Description

Tucked next to a hotel with a cool, bar-forward vibe and a free pool table, this spot shines with friendly staff, a knowledgeable bartender and well-executed drinks. Menu highs — steak, fries, wings and an iced mocha — coexist with uneven dishes, occasional toughness or lukewarm plates, and slow service during staff shortages. Events can liven the room but DJs can be uncomfortably loud; the dining room can also feel cold. Overall decent value for casual, late-night visits, but not ideal for families or those needing parking or special dietary support.

The staff was extremely accommodating regarding my dietary restrictions, and they were very welcoming.

I didn't have a great experience with the food. We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza, but the crust was very tough and difficult to chew. The service was slow and lacked attentiveness, and the overall atmosphere felt quite lifeless.

I visited this restaurant late at night with my son since we were staying at the hotel nearby. Overall, I thought it was a good experience. While the service was a bit slow due to the staff shortage, our server was attentive; she first took our drink order and returned promptly before taking our food order. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, which is impressive considering they are short-staffed. I tried the sweet chili wings, which were fresh and crispy, and the sauce was fantastic. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs, which were tasty, although they could have used a little extra seasoning. I would definitely come back.

We ordered steak, fish and chips, and chicken fingers. Food wasn't really hot but more like warm. My steak was actually really good! However the 3 fish were pretty small and lacked real flavor. The batter on the chicken fingers was pretty tough. The fries were really good. Ordered an iced mocha which was also really good. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was cool. There was a DJ for St. Patrick's Day and a free pool table. Overall decent food but great staff. Prices were reasonable but could have been a few dollars less.

Great staff, drinks were a bit pricey but all in all a good experience minus the DJ that came in blaring music at 8 pm like it was a club packed full of people. Couldn’t hear myself think let alone my partners conversation. Hard to enjoy the otherwise very nice enviornment
