    Our reservation was on Fathers Day. There were 4 of us. Our waitress was great. Nothing that happened was on her. We orfdered our drinks and they were all fine. When our food came, all 3 steak plates were COLD. My husband had the only plate that was hot. They took our steaks back and in the meantime gave us fries to munch on. When they brought our steaks back they were all over cooked because all they did was warm up the plates. Not good. MY sirloin was so chewy, my jaw certainly had a workout. This was not our first visit but it may very well be our last.

    I have been there before and had pistachio-crusted salmon and it was good. This is the reason I came back with my daughter, who wanted a nice piece of Salmon for her birthday. Unfortunately, the salmon we both ordered was overcooked and bland. But that was not the worst part, my youngest daughter found a bug in her Chicken Caesar salad, which the server apologized for and asked if she wanted a new one. We said yes, and she did bring a new one, but it seems they use the same piece of chicken, which was regrilled and way overcooked and in some parts, just burned. At this point, we were severely disappointed and we just asked for the bill, paid and left. Maybe it was a one-off, but overall, on that day, the food was disappointing and they failed to make a bad situation right by cutting corners and making it worse. The manager never bothered to come to even say "Hi". The server was pleasant and courteous and of course, none of this was her fault. Would I recommend the place? After my last experience, the answer is "NO" but this is my opinion...you need to make your own.

    This was our second time here and this time was not the same thinking after. The drinks and apps we had were very good. The bang bang shrimp was amazing. The girls were happy with their meals but myself and my buddy both were quite unsatisfied with our Empire State steaks. His was the be medium and my med/rare. To start the steaks at first bites immediately after receiving were both cold. My steak was overdone through 60% of it and his was much more underdone throughout the steak as well as cold. He spoke and asked for a replacement as for $40 we were expecting to be satisfied with at the least the temperature and doneness. He got a second steak and it was under cooked again. So to summarize. Avoiding the steaks would likely be a good plan for here. Or knowing they have a new cook or better quality meat that’s uniform thickness which was the issue with mine.

    Excellent service and great food. Barrhaven location and third time. The pretzel appetizers delicious! We've tried the calamari, flatbreads, steak and shush, and honey glazed Cajun chicken. All amazing. Drinks really good. Casual, comfortable atmosphere. We had Maddy as our server unsaturated May 24th and she timed everything perfectly. The mocha pie and creme brulee will not disappoint! Thanks to State and Main in Barrhaven, Ottawa.
