It's a touch pricey but worth every penny the food is excellent! And it's very cute inside. I've only eaten down stairs and it's never been very busy, but I love it! I've had the beef sliders, fries, and the lobster nachos. The lobster nachos are fabulous and the other two are really good!

The food was excellent. Lobster poutine is evil (in a good way). Waitress was attentive and friendly. It got a bit noisy, but overall atmosphere was nice. Look forward to returning soon.

The atmosphere was pleasant; relaxed and cozy. The food was much better than we anticipated based on the photos on the website. The pictures displayed dishes on the artsy side of things. We were pleasantly surprised! We would not hesitate to go again. I highly recommend the lobster salad on brioche!

I really liked this place. The downstairs lounge seems like a nice bar/lounge scene for grown-ups--relaxed, fun, and you could still hear each other well. We met downstairs and ate dinner upstairs. Lobster nachos were excellent--lots of perfectly cooked lobster, fresh avocado salsa, good quality cheddar, crunchy and delicious chips. It really worked. Baby back ribs were flavorful and tender. Honey-drizzled cornbread was very good. Neither of us cared for the cole slaw at all. Otherwise, really good food, chill atmosphere, nice staff, and an interesting menu with creative takes on comfort food/classics/bar food. Not exactly a health food mecca, but delicious and fun now and then. We'll return.

Lobster poutine all day long - amazing fries covered in cheese curds, a rich lobster bisque gravy and huge portion of lobster. Literally had us mopping the bowl. Coupled with an amazing Bloody Mary (finished on top with a slice of cured sausage) we should have stopped there. The rest was good but really fatty and heavy especially the fried chicken and burger which dripped a pool of fat. Beautiful building but the whole place from first floor to second reeked of old frying oil which lingered on us for hours after. Overall go in for a pint an order of Lobster Poutine and you'll be happy. Especially if you want to forgo the lines at Duckfat next door.

I really enjoy eating here. They have some nice creative dining and cocktail options, and I can always find something that is grain free/dairy free on the menu to eat that is still delicious. The service is great, the servers are really friendly. I like the location, and if you get a window seat you can look out onto the old port area/water. Will definitely come here regularly.

I feel that the menu had a decent variety of options. My partner and I both agreed that we just ordered the wrong items! We saw food being sent to other tables around us, probably repeat customers, that looked like it tasted a lot better than the choices we made! It was an overall good experience and we will be back again to test out some other menu items!
