Service was exceptional, efficient and friendly right from the moment we entered until the minute we left. Very good wine and beer selections which is what you should focus on. The tapas we had were great and so was the salad! The "large platters", we had the fish and the chicken, were nothing great and very plain. I would stick to ordering enough of the small and medium plates, lots of wine and beer to match - you can't go wrong with that.

This establishment created by a most gracious restauranteur Rob Filipchuk who has created a wine list that would embarrass most high end rooms and a beer selection of 60 choices that will leave most patrons thinking, why didn't I know about this place before. The menu, it consists of choices to please most dinners from oh yes, pub food to those items that will be pleasing to a more substantial appetite and price point. Tonight, Thursday May 18/17 the four of us chose for a starter, scrimp cocktail and for entrees, spaghetti with beef bolognese, BBQ chicken leg and thigh, fish tacos and buttered chicken. We were all extremely satisfied by our choices and the add on was the attentive service provided by numerous "customer care associates" throughout the evening.The desert we chose was Jack's Grill Bread Pudding with a caramelized rum sauce, whipped cream. A desert to remember and indulge in again. Dinner for four, $$$. Check the website and preselect your food choices which will give you an idea of choices but be prepared to have your mind changed by the offering of additional specials. Oh yes, if your not accustomed to being with numerous friendly dinners and people who who are about exclusion, buy a sandwich and go to a library. One last comment, ask for Rob and if he hasn't already thanked you for coming he will thank you again.
