    Love this place. Food is great, service is great and was so cheap we had to look at the bill to make sure they charged us for everything.

    Beautiful building and artwork. Great attentive waiter. Brie fondue waffles were yummy and fish n chips good but could use some cole slaw or something colorful on the palate. I love the stained glass windows, original tile floors from when it was a design showroom. Cool place and very quiet, but we were there on a holiday!

    The food isn’t that good. We ordered oysters and steak and neither tasted that good. For the price, I would recommend dining elsewhere.

    Our waitress was very slow and just seemed generally unhappy. She was very curt with us and forgot to bring us certain items. Not sure if she was having a bad day or not, or if she just didn’t like us, but it was unpleasant especially since it was Mother’s Day.

    Food was good. Our server Gage was quite attentive. My pastrami sandwich could have been hotter. PC Cobb Salad was great. Was hoping for mussels but I realised that it’s only offered at dinner. It used to be available at lunch but that was a while back. Didn’t find many appetiser options.

    It was way too loud in there. If you turn down the music, then people wouldn’t have to yell so much to talk, so naturally it’ll bring the noise level down. I also think the echo in the whole place is horrible. So, in my humble opinion, please turn down the music. Thank you!

    The staff are so cute and funny. They are fun, wish they could join our group to entertain us. We love the food so much that we keep coming back. This time, we changed our breakfast choice to the chicken biscuits. The chicken was extra crispy which I love and a perfect saltiness but tender inside the crunchy outside. The biscuit had a sweet honey taste to it. Yumm. We love their food that we go back every Saturday morning for breakfast.

    I normally have a great experience here, so considering I spent $80, I would have expected much better service. Our waiter seemed to not care about our table at all after we ordered our food. No one came to us until after we finished eating, and we felt invisible. Especially when I see tables being visited by the same waiter multiple times. He only came to offer us the check as if he wanted us to leave. We were not offered refils for our drinks and never even got the water we asked for. I tried to talk to the manager but was ignored. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be back.
