I really wanted to like this place, everything on the menu sounds so good. But literally everything we got was disappointing. Our server was extremely friendly and gave us great service but the food was meh.
Our calamari was overcooked and rubbery and didn’t taste good, the bacon-wrapped scallops were very small, overcooked and the bacon was done far beyond the point of crispiness and they had way too much lemon juice on them. I ate them anyway because I was hungry but they were not good. I got the chicken souvlaki which looked good but was super dry. The Caesar salad was fine, nothing special but not bad, and the pita was fine but pretty bland. My partner said her sandwich was dry and didn’t taste very good.
The waitress got the calamari taken off the bill because we didn’t even eat a third of it which was very much appreciated, but overall the meal was so disappointing we probably won’t be back.

We stopped in for dinner here recently and were unfortunately super disappointed. The service was great, our waitress was super friendly, but that's pretty well where the good ends. The food was awful. The only good thing we had was the Greek salad. The calamari was way overdone, chewy, but the batter was soggy and it tasted really fishy and not at all fresh. The scallops, which the menu said were fried in garlic butter, were also fishy, chewy, overdone, and aggressively seasoned with lemon juice. The tzatziki tasted like sour cream with cucumber bits in it. I ordered the club roll for my main and the chipotle mayo tasted nothing like chipotle or mayo - it was just a sweet, bland, vaguely spicy sauce and there was only a small squeeze of it on the sandwich. The roast beef was completely underseasoned and flavorless and the turkey was dry and stale. The salad on the side should have been served in its own bowl as the dressing from it seeped into the bottom bun on my sandwich and made it a soggy mess that I had to eat with a fork and knife because it was falling apart. My partner had the chicken souvlaki meal and while her side Caesar was decent, the chicken and pita were dry. They did take the calamari off of our bill because we barely touched it and we're grateful for the gesture but unfortunately, the whole meal was equally disappointing and we won't be back.

This is Alberta, and Alberta knows beef. Breakfast steaks here are delicious. I had Steak Benny, like steak and eggs with a Hollandaise Sauce. It was really tasty!!!

They are so generous with their portions here!! Great food and service, but the atmosphere was way more casual and old school than I expected. I thought it would be a bit more fancy but it is more like a family restaurant feel, which is also great.
Good steak supper for a reasonable price. That’s hard to find no a days! Give them a try!

My first time here. Went with 8 friends. They told me it's not bad so I trusted them. I was pleasantly surprised. The server was one of the best I've ever seen. Apparently she been there 4 years and she was one sharp cookie. Very pleasant and experienced. I could tell she took pride in her customers, not just our table but others as well. And the food was exceptional for lunch. They didn't scrimp on any of it. Fresh and tasty. I definitely will be going back here again!
Best smoked meat in town...hands down!
