    The staff was the best part of our experience. Our server was very professional & provided a complimentary drink when the food service was slow. The server was very responsive despite a busy evening on the patio. The food was tasteless and disappointing. The cocktails were good but not as good as Bonterra or The Porch or Betty Lou’s Library.

    My husband and I went to The Wednesday Room for his birthday. The main reasons we chose this place was the amazingly unique 70’s lounge vibe going on and the wide selection of menu items. I have to say, it was one of the best meals weave had in the last five years. The decor was bitchin’ as promised, staff were funny and friendly, fantastic cocktails (I could drink the passionfruit one by the jug!!) and the food was excellent. My husband had the lamb and I had the sea bass and every bite was a treat. We are already planning to return when the menu changes for summer so we can try something new! Great job, guys!

    Very cool vibe in the basement! It was a quiet Monday night but it was perfect for visiting with out of town guests. Service and food were excellent - we'll be back!

    Food was excellent. Ambiance intimate. Menu had great options for a group - share plates, individual options, etc. However, after being seated our waitress never came to get us drinks. After twenty minutes, I had to go ask someone who our server was. We would have ordered another two round of drinks, but she never checked on us. To get the bill after another 30 minute wait, we had to ask another server to find her. We dined early at 6:30 pm. She was never on the floor and it wasn’t busy.

    Hi Madeline, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. I'm sorry that your time here was not to our usual standard and you were left waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. I wanted to let you know I've had the necessary conversations with my team and the servers involved to ensure this does not happen again. We would love to host for you and your friends again, if you would like to come back please call our store and ask for me, I'll make sure to have a round of drinks of your choice on us. Hope to hear from you soon, Tatianna | AGM

    Absolutely loved our dinner at The Wednesday Room! The food was incredible, our favourite was the French dip sandwich (seriously unreal) and the tartare. Our server Adrian was exceptional and made the best recommendation for wine, we enjoyed a whole bottle. We spent almost 3 hours, and as parents of two young children, it was a special treat to do that in such a lovely space with wonderful service and the best food. We love having this spot as our celebration destination and to celebrate our 13 year anniversary, it couldn’t have been better! Thank you to the team for taking such great care of us :)
