    We came for lobster and it was delicious! We really enjoyed our lobster rolls and lobster bisque.

    Had a bit of a bizarre experience. Made a reservation for 8pm because it was the only time available. Received a call 20 minutes before asking if we were still coming. I said we were but with 2 less people. When we arrived the server was friendly and got our drinks right away. Our whole party wasn’t there yet and the server kept asking when they were coming. We said they were on there way. She then kept pushing us to order our food because the kitchen was closing. This was an hour a half before the closing time. We ordered food but the server kept asking where the rest of our party was and if they were ordering food. She then asked us to message our friends to get their order because they wanted to close the kitchen. Every single time she came to the table she asked where our friends were. We felt so uncomfortable and like we were bothering her for being there. We are all in the industry so we understand wanting to close when it’s dead but the way she went about it was crazy. Every time she came over we felt more and more unwelcome. It was my birthday and my friend asked if they did anything for birthdays and she said “not for free” … that wasn’t what we were asking, just wondering if they did a candle or anything. She was promoting a cocktail that we all ordered, and when we wanted to order another round she said the bartender was gone so they couldn’t do it anymore. When one of our friends arrived who we ordered food for, it was brought out in a take out box. The whole experience was just bizarre.

    A very average restaurant, with absolutely awful service. I will not return. Don’t go … not worth your time or money.

    It was great! Food and staff are awesome! My only comment would be that it was very loud and we were there at 5pm when it was not even half full.

    This is the third time we’ve gone to have dinner at 12welve in last year! Well worth the drive from Scarborough! Amazing kitchen as food has been so tasty and great portions. Great servers and casual atmosphere makes you feel very welcome! Very energetic place on weekend nights! Our new favourite bistro!! Lots of choices too- oysters, vegan burger, halibut !

    We tried the jerk pork and the seafood curry on the May features menu and both agreed it was the best meals we had there so far. Delish!
