I was looked upon with condescension at this place. Initially, when thought to be a customer, the face of the staff lights up, happy to assist me. But when the manager is summoned because I'm looking for a job as a server, the stern, look me up and down face appears. Through discussion with the manager, I learn it is the GM who does the hiring. The GM comes over to me. He looks at me like an over confident Matt Gaetz. Asks me if I've applied before. I have. I did a terrible job of an online / ore recorded video interview a... read more

Good place for drinks and watching a game, food is awful, although the service is great it doesn't make up for the food. Not a family restaurant, it's a Bar

While the food and service are superb, I am in a wheelchair and my contact there LIED to me about the accessibilty and the washroom. This deceit should be criminal. He wanted only to get my money. Now he gets my rathe. I should have pissed on the floor 

Business response:

Hello March, I'd like to start by personally apologizing your for recent visit at our restaurant. Your experience in no way reflects our values or support of those that require accommodation at our establishment and I am deeply concerned by this feedback. We have a washroom located on our main floor to be able to accommodate those that need it and this should have been highlighted in your visit immediately upon your arrival. I take this feedback very seriously and would love an opportunity to connect with you in order to r... read more

Decent drinks, prices are steep for what's provided. Good ambiance if you're looking for a place to hang out and have a few drinks. Food is mediocre.

I go to this place 2 to 3 times a week and I love everything about it. Tonight I arrived at 11:45 pm, right before last call. I order few drinks and offer the hosts a drink because I knew they were tired and they did me a favor to accept my order, they politely denied my offer. As a thank you I left them 105% tip. While I was leaving the place a waitress approached me and asked if I paid in front of other customers as if she caught a thief and I said yes, she then literally took me inside to check with her coworker if I paid... read more

This place is great, it has good food and a great selection of beers and beverages. Its' problem, ( which is very common in Toronto because of the Covid regulations), is that they currently only have four tables on their patio to sit at right now. I like the food and beer so much I was willing to wait half an hour, and then just five minutes more but then when I had to watch someone else,( " They were here before") be seated before me , I lost my patience and went to Mucho Burrito down the street on Laird. They had an empty ... read more

Business response:

Hi Paul, We really appreciate the feedback. We are currently revamping the menu to bring some new changes on. LOCAL management has been taught how to control the vibe in the restaurant and music is key when it is at the appropriate volume. Next time you are in we would love to buy you a beer and introduce some of the management team to you. See you soon, LOCAL MGMT

The food was disappointing and way overpriced. I ordered the huevos rancheros and it looked like a plate full of tomato sauce. The restaurant was also not stroller friendly--the waiter wanted me to hide my stroller behind the booth near the kitchen and put baby in our booth in his car seat, and the place was mostly empty, so I don't understand why my stroller was such a problem.
