Cassie was an amazing server. She made the birthday celebration for a friend extra special. Always asking us how things were. Food. Or if we needed anything else. Being there first time the food and quality of food and service really impressed them. We will all be back!

Fantastic service! The place was packed due to a home game, yet the table I had requested due to mobility was reserved for us. The food came out fast and so freaking good! If you haven't tried the fish and chips do it!!!!! Also our waitress Alyssa. She was amazing. It's probably been years since I've encountered such great customer service in a public place. People just don't care anymore. She was so friendly. She talked with us, joked and even told us a story or two, all while ensuring our meals were good and our drinks filled. In a full house that's a wow factor for me. I cannot say good enough things about her. She needs an award for best customer service. 10/5 stars for Alyssa! Also we had other servers bringing out our food, I didn't catch the guys name, but he made sure my mom was not missing anything, as she only ordered a soup, and he even brought her out a small plate so she could pick off our meals. (Mom eats like a bird). And he also came back to check how things were. The kitchen staff I'm sure was hopping so I wanna give them kudos as well. The fish was the best I've ever had this time. It's always amazing, and it's always the only thing I order, but tonight was the perfect blend of crispy and delicious, so way to go kitchen staff! All in all will definitely come again. Thank you! 🥰

Great staff. Always, always polite, friendly, prompt, and helpful. And on this night, running late and stuck in several traffic snarls, our reservation was honoured as we arrived 40 minutes late even though it was very busy. Thank you. You put our evening back on track. Good food. Good drink. Good staff. Good evening. Thanks!

We made reservations and were told we would be sitting at the bar. As we were some of the only people there at 5pm I said we made reservations and couldn't we get a table? I was told the tables fill up first that's why we are at the bar seats. That was fine it just wasn't what I expected. Then the bill came and they gave us 1/2 off our meal. A nice jester to make our night perfect 👌
