If I could give this 10/5 stars I would. Jessica, our bartender was phenomenal. We came in late and they kept the kitchen open for us. The food was still phenomenal. We came in the second night and she remembered our names and order and the service was phenomenal. Awesome vibes, absolute 10/10 service and establishment.

This place sucks. Customers that arrived after us have gotten their food before us. Waited like 45 mins and never got our food. So we left. Horrible service. Such a disappointment.

Great service , location and furnishings top class, good cocktails but the food was average at best. Went again 10 months later and have to say the food was greatly improved. Appy ribs were amazing and the juicy Lucy was excellent.

Went as a party of 6 for 7pm on a Friday... service was slow. Took ALONG time to get drinks. Ordered the tamohawk fancy steak dinner for 2. Bone marrow not my jam so can't comment on that. Steak was meh for 260 bucks I expected better. Seasoned very lightly. The Brusselsprouts where super good. Potatoes good as well. Shrimp was good.. very loud couldn't hear people beside me talking asked if they could turn the music down they moves us towards the back if the restaurant which was better. Ordered shots they brought them for the entire table, we ordered 4 not 6. They removed the shots completely from the bill which was nice and unexpected. I would go again. Would skip the 260.00 meal and opt for something cheaper. Biggest complaint is for sure the 30 min wait for drinks everytime we ordered. Maybe short staffed. Either way. Would try again will update review when I go again.

Came out after the Oilers game and was trying some place new. Got our drinks and they were good, we were going to order other food but the waitress didn’t return in enough time for us to order it on happy hour. Once we were ready to order our food, the wings were good, but the pizza we ordered was missing almost all of our toppings. We got the beef on the pizza, but didn’t get any cheese, onions, or the kimchi.After the poor service and food quality we won’t be going back. Being part of a restaurant group you would think that the food quality would be better and the service would be more attentive

'Hostess' looked at us when we walked in and continued to look at her computer. Walked away, so we followed assuming she was seating us. She wasn't. We took our own seat wherever she stopped. Took half an hour for our drinks and that was after waiting 10 minutes for someone to take our order. Ordered 2 starters, perogies and wings. Bartender (?) came and said they didn't look good and that it was the end of the week for delivery, so had us order something else. Mains took another 30 minutes before that same bartender came to tell us they now didn't have steak (for the steak frites). Three of the 4 of us got pizza and they were soggy. One round of our drinks were comped which we appreciated but we sat in front of dirty plates longer than our actual meal.Hostess sat at the bar with people, rarely helping seat others while they came in, food was extremely slow. We clearly were the blow-off table.

While deciding which restaurant my friend and I should have lunch at, I looked at the menu for BIRDOG. Our excitement for this place was immeasurable! However, our experience fell flat. From the service, to the lack of flavour.Our server, while very very nice, was lacking; our water was not topped up, nor was I asked for a refill on my beverage. Also, I feel as though you should preface any up charges on basic toppings.I was almost charged for an item I did not ask for nor did I receive.Not only did the above disappoint, the fact that other patrons, who were sat after us, received their meals first.Their Juicy Lucy’s burgers were in fact very juicy, they were just lacking a smidge of flavour. I personally would only come back for their Brie over Fries, which feels like a true saving grace for the whole experience.

BIRDOG is a cool little venue. We visited Sunday evening, which I feel didn’t allow us to experience its true potential. I feel the chef presented was the backup. The bartender however was confident and very professional. He made us a few drinks not on the menu and they were amazing!!! If my rating was based on the drinks, it would be 5 stars.. We’ll definitely be back but on a Friday or Saturday evening.

Over all it was a really good experience and the cocktails have a very good variety! I was happy to finally come check it out. The only thing my friends and I wish could change, was the music was so loud you could hardly hear the person across from you..... We were all talking at each other to try and understand what was being said lol.
Had an amazing time out lastnight. Good food, awesome staff and atmosphere was incredible. Mark, Vanessa and Nas were an absolute blast to have serving for girls night out! 10/10!

Wishing we had better experience.Our waitress told a coworker to go away as they were serving us our food. We never found out what the person serving us our was trying to offer us for a topping. The waitress did not make us feel comfortable being there.Food could use some flavor. We knew something was up when four different people ask if our food was good.Chicken over cooked and no spices.Steak cooked nicely but had the smallest amount of peppercorn sauce which was underwhelming. An limp fries on the side.Deviled eggs and pierogies were good.Pizza was ok.Cocktail week cocktail were not balanced at all. Would avoid. I would suggest coming with a cocktail in mind as they have alot of great ingredients but need some help putting them together.Overall not up to to a typical century hospitality restaurant. Hopefully this helps make some changes to a place with alot of potential.

We had a good experience going out for dinner on a Friday night, but there is lots of room for improvement in terms of food quality. The menu has lots of dishes I would be interested in tasting, but after all three of the sharables we ordered fell a bit flat, especially the "hogs in blankets", I'm not as interesting is returning to try more.The waitress and all staff were excellent though.

Got a seat and ordered drinks right away. The server was friendly, but 30 minutes later, still no drinks though the server came by twice to apologize.The bar wasn’t busy and I could see the bartenders from where I was sitting, they were sloppy and disorganized behind the bar. First time there and won’t go back. There are literally at least half a dozen options within 10 minutes from there, why bother going again?
