   Happy hr could be more to offer on our plates. However, the politeness of our server made up for it.

   This place is one of the friendliest restaurants in downtown Toronto! We love celebrating our special days here because their service makes us feel truly valued. The food and drinks are simply amazing!!!!

   I made a reservation for two and was a bit disappointed to be seated at a corner table on the patio, tucked away from the vibrant ambiance of the main restaurant. That said, the food and wine were absolutely excellent — great quality and flavors. A more thoughtfully chosen table would’ve made the experience perfect.

   Volume inside the restaurant was so loud you weren’t able to hear the person beside you. The volume on the patio wasn’t as loud but for 7:30 pm on Mother’s Day way too loud. Service was horrible. It wasn’t busy, drinks and food took an incredibly long time to arrive. Waitress was fake, inattentive, not knowledgeable, or helpful. When food arrived fries were lukewarm, Burgers were dry. Very underwhelming. “Fresh” fries were made for us after tracking the waitress down. Fresh meaning the tipp layer were hotter then the previous fries but rest of bowl was lukewarm/cold. Very pleasant manager stopped by table when the meal was done to address the cold fries. Unfortunately that didn’t make up for the mediocre food. Or the inattentive and luck lustre service. The cold Creme Brulee was also a disappointment. Would have let the server know but she never checked on us.The absolutely filthy bathrooms were the kicker. How other customers misuse the bathroom isn’t the restaurants fault. But by the overflowing garbage cans, the almost empty soap dispenser and the wet dirty floors and counter showed a lack of attention to cleanliness which totally is. Hostess was apologetic and appreciative when told about the bathrooms. But it was to little to late. Bad service, mediocre off temperature food and a dirty establishment. Said it all’

   Great food and good value for money. It was way too loud!! They should restrict the DJ to evenings only.

   Good restaurant. Reservation was for 6 pm. We were attending the theatre. Did not get seated until 6.15. This was an inconvenience.

   Our server Lawrence was increible!! Nice. Helpful. Lawrence was amazing. The hostess not so much. I had made a reservation in the patio. There were multiple tables when we arrived. We requested a table with full sun exposure. She was extremely condescending as if it was an inconvenience to switch tables. She was snotty and condescending. Blond girl. We will go back but this hostess needs to understand customer service.

   Went on a Thursday before a show at the Royal Alexander. Excellent location directly across from the theatre. TGIT was in effect and prices were very reasonable. Food and drinks were very good and service was on point. The place is very loud with a DJ but we knew this and enjoyed the hip vibe. We will definitely go here again pre-show.

    The server was outstanding! Would come here again for the month of May due to the half price Margs. Thank you again!
