Practically the entire menu can be made gluten-free, which is amazing! I especially loved the gluten-free pizza and the pasta Pugliese—both were delicious and didn’t feel like compromises at all. Highly recommend for anyone eating GF!

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. It was my boyfriend and I's anniversary, and I put that in the reservation notes, and they put us at a table right beside a steel wall, when I highly requested a nice table beside the window for our anniversary. The service was akward, the server was very bland and did not provide a welcoming experience for us. As someone that works as a host, knowing someone chose our restaurant to celebrate a special day, and could not give us a nice table for the 45 minutes we were there to celebrate. I most likely will not be coming back, but the food was still decent.

This is one of our favourite places to eat when going to a game. The food has always been amazing, the atmosphere warm and friendly and the servers lovely. I always recommend when asked where to eat in Bremmer St.

We had great service from Kiara. Food was quick to our table and we were the drinks. Both were amazing and we had plenty of time before the Metallica concert

Good wine and food, reasonably priced. Was too noisy initially but then calmed down. The pasta was too oily
