I had a reservation and waited and waited until the hostess sat us down. Then we waited some more until some came to take our order. Probably about 30 minutes from when we arrived to when we put our drink order in. After about 40 minutes we asked about the status of our order as we hadn't even gotten our appetizers. She said she forgot. Finally when our meals showed up it was the wrong item. Waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there, she didn't say thank you at all or even make eye contact with us. The food itself was cold, and overpriced for what we got.

Soooooo noisy, food is generally fine, i think the best thing on the menu is their mac&cheese in different variations. Fries are good too

If you want to have many guys with egotistical issues handling you with force when you are more than cooperative this is the place to go!

Terrible service and expensive average food.

Terrible night. Place wasn't that busy but we still waited 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at the door. Then we were shown to our table and ignored for another 10 minutes until our server wandered over. We told her we had to leave in time for a show at a nearby theatre and the information seemed to barely register. 35 minutes later and no update from our server on our order. When she finally wandered back over (if the place was busier than usual, you wouldn't know it to watch her drift around aimlessly), we told her to cancel our mains and just bring our appetizers. Then she comes back with our mains and tells us she forgot to order our appetizers. And one of our mains was the wrong item.

The food, which had definitely been sitting in the kitchen for a while before she brought it over, was lukewarm and soggy. I don't think it would have been that much better had it been served promptly.

While we were waiting for our food, we had a good time counting the dirty glasses piling up on the bar because the bartender also seemed to be in no hurry to do her job. I think there were about 50 by the time we left.

We've eaten on the patio in the summer and it's been ok, but won't be back ever after this experience.

The place was not too busy but the waitress was exceptional and prompt. The singer was great and a very nice time was had by all.

We have eaten here a few times. This past week we thought we would try it again to see if there was any difference in the quality of the food. My husband and I both ordered the donairs. The bread was rock hard, and the meat was so dried out. It was terrible! Wouldn't reccomend dinining here.

Great spot, great location, especially if you have an event at the Carelton, Lighthouse Arts Center, or Scotiabank Arena.

Service was quick despite it being a Friday evening.

Food was pretty good. Typical pub/bar bites but definitely flavorful. The Buffalo cauliflower bites were spicy.

Nice place 😃

This place used to be great but I don’t know what happened.
Beer was warm, worst nachos in the city, service was junk and they had the most depressing Post Malone playlist on a Saturday night.
I don’t usually write bad reviews, but I felt compelled to as I sit here waiting for my bill for 20 minutes when the place is mostly empty.
Unfortunately our waitress is outback sucking on her vape.
Horrible to say the least!

Best chicken wings OF MY LIFE.

UPDATE: came for BINGO Tuesday. It was GREAT. The host, Chad was MADE FOR THIS. He’s destined for great things. Come catch him at Bingo and win big prizes before he ends up in HOLLYWOOD. Johnny’s cool, too.
