Food is meh. The servers were kind, but the wait for food was incredibly long.

The pizza was amazing. The service was awesome and fast. The atmosphere is ok. Wide open space. No “cozy” place to snug in, but still comfortable.
Highly recommend for a social gathering or a bite to eat.

Food is always a hit or miss here, every other order is wrong or missing ingredients. Last order was a Sante fe salad and soup. My salad was missing half of its ingredients and the chicken was WAY over seasoned, barely edible. 2.5/5

Always, and I mean always support Liz and Lance. This is a Duncan / Valley staple.

Starting with the good, it's beautiful space, both inside and out. What takes away from that is the terrible acoustics. No sound baffling means that with just a handful of people inside, it sounds like a football crowd amplified through a stack of Marshall amps. The food could also be better. I've eaten here three times, and tried multiple dishes. I'd rate it as on par with fast food, or one notch below pub food. I strongly dislike giving a negative review but in this case I feel with minimal effort, they can really turn this into a fantastic spot. I'll look to update my review in a few months if they've improved things. Oh, and please turn down the lights and throw in some warmer bulbs or something. It feels like a hospital operating room, or an FBI interrogation chamber.

Our server probably was having an odd night? The service was meh and it wasn’t even a busy night. The food and service were really slow. Came in for dinner. I’d like to give the server the benefit of the doubt that maybe she was having an odd night. My cocktail tasted great, food was just ok.

I had fish and chips the last time I was there and it was absolutely delicious!! The servers are amazing and so friendly!

We ordered two braised beef briskets at 28.00 each and it was way to chewy! And it was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself think. We basically had a rotten time and will not return.
