I was a bit disappointed by the menu, which led me to believe I would receive a burger and a salad, when in fact I had to choose between the two. The burger was tasty but smaller than expected (more like a McDonald's size) and did not come with any sides. The pierogi appetizer was flavorful but overly salty, and the chocolate pudding dessert was average and on the small side, despite being meant for two people. Overall, the Harvest Fest menu was underwhelming, but the service was good. I probably wouldn't return for dinner, but I might stop by for a drink after work, as the restaurant is conveniently located downtown.

I sympathised with the 2 waitresses they had on who were trying their best to stay upbeat. We got there before the rush, so had (somewhat) prompt service initially, but as soon as more people started to come in they didn't have enough staff on to serve everyone. We got our first drink order in, then sat with empty drinks for an extended period of time before I went up to bar to order my own drinks. Only after we were halfway finished these second drinks did the waitress come by (she had to be flagged down) to get our food order. I also witnessed multiple people come in, sit down, and leave after no one acknowledging them for 15+ minutes. It was also freezing in the restaurant and each time the door opened a blast of cold air would come in. It's a shame they don't have secondary doors, I can't imagine they can keep it warm in the middle of winter. The beer was good and food was just ok.

The menu may be limited in options, but everything looked delicious. The prices are very reasonable, with entrees priced at only $10. Overall, it was a great combination of delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the odd and limited menu options. The Green Goddess salads were decent but too dill-heavy, and the salmon was the standout dish. My grilled cheese was underwhelming - small and lacking in cheese, with no complimentary side dishes. Overall, we were all in agreement that we would not be returning to this new neighborhood spot for lunch.

However, it was either a burger or a salad. The burger was delicious, but it was much smaller than a normal restaurant burger (Dink Macdonald's size) and it did not come with any side. The Pierogi appetizer was delicious, but extremely salty, and the chocolate pudding for dessert was moderate and again, quite small, although it was intended for 2. Overall, the Harvest Festival menu was less than impressive, but the service was good. I wouldn't come back for dinner, but maybe return for an after-work drink as Say Uncle is in a comfortable downtown location.
