I ordered the daily special of Corned Beef and Cabbage. Was worth the wait. Delicious beef portion (non-salty) accompanied by absolutely tasty fresh cabbage wedge with whole peels potato with carrot and turnip slices. It was lunch time and our service staff was friendly and professional. Thanks, Trevor. I took the remainder of my meal home to have for a lunch today.Parking: Restaurant location is in business district and the parking is minimal. The food made up for the patience it required to search out parking that was nearby. Had it not been a rainy day I would found something further away but with a dry walk. (it's all good)

I've eaten here a few times, and the food is nothing special. Last time my family and I went, the service was incredibly slow and unfriendly. The fish cakes were dry and potatoes not properly cooked.Parking: Parking is awful.

Service was slow and the food stale. One of the worst fish cakes I've ever had.

The food was good, and being that it wasn't busy, the waiter should have been more attentive. He dropped off the food, and we didn't see him till he asked if we wanted desert or the bill.

Good breakfast spot!Ordered the BBQ brisket eggs benedict and really enjoyed it. It's a very unique offering and I would order it again. The portions are relatively smaller, but this is fairly reflected in the lower food prices. The staff was jolly and friendly and overall enjoyed my experience.

Wait staff are so friendly, helpful and polite. Food was so fresh and super tasty. Decor was a little dated but honestly, who cares?!Can't recommend this place enough. Very family friendly and just a fantastic spot.Kid-friendliness: Very sweet spot for families.

I wasnt expecting this place to be a diner but thats besides the point. The staff were great but the food was not. The mashed potatoes were cold and obviously made from a powdered mixture. I had the meatloaf, it was bland and dry. The gravy with the meatloaf was definitely not made in house either, it tasted like generic gravy made from a pouch, only not as good. My girlfriend had the chicken fajita wrap which was over stuffed with watery salsa. The chicken had no fajita seasoning either. We dont recommend this place and we wont be back.

The service was very good unfortunately the food did not measure up to the service. The toast was cold, hash browns were hard and obviously overdone, the ham was rather slim and small in size. I asked for my egg "over easy" and I must say, it was by far the most enjoyable part of the meal.Good things to say about the male server who greeted me at the door, seated me, took my order, served me my beverages and meal, and bud me good bye as I left.
