    Wonderful huge space with large windows and cascading light. Our server Andrew was particularly awesome as was the hostess. The 1/2 price bubbles were outstanding as was the Hummus platter and Guacamole and chips. Gold star all around.

    We were group of 6 went to have dinner. 3 of us ordered steaks which tasted a bit strange. Appetizers came after we got our main dishes. Server passed us few times with our drinks but not passing to us. It was very strange. If you walk around Lonsdale Quay and wanted to have a quick bite, I guess this is a good place to go.

    Great time with large family event. Thank you. Food and service was good. Would only suggest a better vegan friendly option for children.
