- AAlexandriaToronto / Ontario •5 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 12, 2023Enjoyed the patio for the first time, it was nice! Great food, good prices, friendly staff. The lighting was perfect. Wasn’t too crammed in or crowded. We did retreat to the fire table in the corner on the sofas and anticipated enjoying a few more drinks however the fire pit wasn’t working - and it took 20min and constant reassurance that someone would come over to light it. They lit the other one and we continued to sit waiting. Eventually just asked for the bill and left. We understood that there was I guess something wrong w the fire table. But it was disappointing to see us be over looked a few too many times. Just seemed like the staff was a little confused on where they were supposed to be and we were asked the same question 4x by 4 different staff members so it was like no one was communicating together. We will definitely be back 🥰 hopefully the fires are all working next time so we can enjoy that final ambiance to end our evening.More infoWhite Rabbit Hop HousePrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Waterloo•4.5
