    We had the most phenomenal experience at Pigeonhole yesterday. We’ve been a few times before and loved it but this specific visit was exceptional. I told Connor (the manager) about a drink I had the last visit but couldn’t remember the timing or what I had and he went back to our old reservations to find out when we were in and what the drink might have been. Then it was magically perfectly recreated. The food was truly amazing- our favourite dishes were the steak frites and the maple cake. 12/10 evening. I don’t feel like there’s anywhere else like this in the city and definitely not this level of service.

    Food was generally good. We did not like the pickled muscles though a little fishy and not sure the pickling does them any favors. They were part of the seafood plate. Oysters and crab were very good. Muscles did not get eaten. Cabbage and Tartar were very good. Enjoyable place to be.

    The six of us had a great time. Food was very good and cocktails were delicious. What real stood out for us was the service. Our server Grace was absolutely wonderful. She laughed with us and also made us laugh (maybe she was laughing at me)! I can’t say enough about how great she was. Also the chef who brought us the food was fun and a great guy. Thanks for last night. Wonderful. They went out of their way to celebrate my birthday.
