Not good visit. Low quality food. Expensive. Quite slow service. This location to me feels like it went downhill sadly.

Service was fast even though there were many people. The salad was palatable, but the chicken in it was oversalted.

Walking into this pub on a whim, I was pleasantly surprised by its inviting atmosphere and laid-back vibe. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and relax. The beer selections were decent, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes, and the menu boasted a range of appetizing dishes. What stood out most was the attentive staff who always seemed to be nearby, ensuring that I never had to wait long for anything. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I'd definitely recommend this spot for a casual night out or a quick bite with friends.

Had a server named Tina the other night, probably the best service ive ever had in my life. Good.

.......it was a pub.....not sure what more you expected, the service was fantastic though, it was busy but the waitress was kind to us all (we were also very quick with our orders and did not waste her time with pointless chatter), we made some small talk while paying and ordering but it was light and we felt welcome.I'd go back again for just the service, which to be fair, is what has us going back to pubs

Came here at noon Sunday that also happened to be St. Patrick’s Day so they had some decorations put up.Place was not super busy so there was ample seating. Sat down and our server gave us menus. Being as it was St. Patrick’s I ordered a Guinness, and my partner ordered off their non-alcohol menu. Drinks came fast and we ordered our food.I ordered the Diablo Burger which has pickled jalapeños and some spicy sauce. The burger was medium spicy which I appreciate because I only really mind a kick of spice. And the size of the burger was a fair size. Fries were pretty good, not too salty and crispy and they gave a good amount.My partner had the Local Burger which was a simple burg with all the fixings and tasted good as well.We also split an order of friend potato’s skins appetizer with the group we were with. They were really good and could almost be eaten as a meal. Super savoury and had a lot of fixings.Price was fair for what we got. There was a weekend brunch menu that had reasonable priced beer, so if you Minus the premium beer and it’s fairly decent.Overall a good place to eat if you’re in the area and would most likely come back if I’m in the area. It’s also extremely close to TD Core shopping center which is a bonus.

We went here on a Saturday afternoon. Walked in and got a table without a wait.The staff was super friendly.They had tabletop games for the children (and adults).We ordered a kids meal and it came out so quick with our appetizers. This is the way restaurants should all serve the children first they take longer to eat and they get bored fast.Thank you for the delicious food.As a gluten-free person there were lots of options and if you like a lettuce wrap burger it's the best. Not just 1 piece of wilted lettuce but like enough to crunch and actually held together.

Stopped in after walking BMO centre it was what would have been a busy pub back in the day. The atmosphere is there the thick wooden floors tables and the toilets down the hole of treacherous stairs after multiple beers. Its all there, and they serve the good old fish and chips. The server was delightful, and we had a 2 year old with us, he was made to feel quite at home. Great menu, service, atmospher what more can one ask for? It's a 5 star.

Tried this place for the first time today at lunch. We asked to see the menu first as my spouse has some dietary restrictions. Once we knew there was something he could eat, we asked for a table for two. The girl “greeting” us was very unfriendly, never spoke to us, just walked us to a table, put the menus down and walked off without saying a word. I found this to be very rude and we almost walked back out again. I watched her do this when seating another table, then she stood there all pouty for the rest of the time. This is not a great first impression.Thankfully our server was a little more friendly. Food arrived quickly and was actually very tasty (although I found the fries a little too salty for my taste). Atmosphere was good, and other than the attitude of the greeter, I enjoyed it.
