I have been meaning to make this review and forgot. My server Sophie was exceptional. She was so kind and quick to respond. I loved not having to wait to get a refill on my hot water the wine was always full. Sophie had gone out of her way to make this visit so fun. I will be back but I will be making sure Sophie is my server.

November 2025

I have not been able to stop thinking about how lovely the service I received two months ago from our server Sophie. I have been to a few different locations throughout BC and have not had the same level of service that Sophie offered me. I have been back several times and was disappointed to not see her working during my visits. She was bubbly, kind, patient and went above and beyond to make sure I had the best service of my life! The only place I take my family to dinner is...

November 2025

Had a drink at the bar and watched the hockey game, had a poutine, my server was Angelica, she was all smiles, welcoming and friendly! Had the manager Raul stop and greet me, that doesn’t happen very often at restaurants, will most definitely be back!
