We went on a Saturday evening when all the other restaurants were packed and this one was empty. I was a little nervous it wasn’t going to be good where we were literally the only ones there but the food was fantastic and the waitress was lovely.

Our group of six had a reservation, before a concert at scotiabank center. Server was good, changed our table for us since we were initially seated next to the band who was setting up. We wanted a quieter spot. It was busy with concert goers but service speed was fine.
Food was terrible. I asked to swap the fish for a flank steak and this was accommodated. The dish was halibut (now steak) with roasted veg, potatos, and chimichurri sauce. The steak was over cooked and tough. I had no chimichurri sauce. The potatos were fine, nothing special but the veg was raw! It was broccolini, carrot and cauliflower. They must have cooked it just until the broccolini was cooked because that was the only cooked veg.
Other members of our party had the goat cheese pistachio burger, this was delicious. The regular burger was deemed tasteless. The fish and chips was well overcooked.
I did tell my server about the undercooked veg and he offered to bring me new but I didn't have time due to the concert.
Our bill was full of errors. We were charged for our friend's appetizer, and another dish was deemed for the table and we all paid for some. When I have ordered an appie to share the server has always asked me how I want that charged. He did not ask. So we paid over $20 for food we didn't order or eat. Again, he offered to redo all the bills but this meant refunding and paying again, and we had no time.
Biggest problem was the food.

I'll give the Auction House two stars because the service was decent.. on the other hand, the food was not good. Over the course of one meal, we had bits of plastic in our dishes (first time in the beer glass, second time in our cauliflower bits), our bao buns had pork that was only fat, and the steak was under cooked.
Went for the first time during burger week and was thoroughly disappointed. Burger was not close to what was advertised and was not good at all. Guy at the door was weird (Saturday April 13). Me and my girlfriend got ID'd on the way in, despite it being 5pm with tons of kids/families inside, and us not ordering alcohol. Other, younger adults entering after us were not ID'd. Atmosphere and server were good.
my food was great (fish and chips) but my partner got the burger from burger bash and it was awful, he said the flavours don’t go together at all.
the server was super nice and all but we asked for ranch for our mozza sticks, never got that. We also asked for waters when we ordered our food and they never came. Cutlery wasn’t given before or with the meal, so I had to wait and flag down the server
overall probably won’t go back, but hoping this is a one off type of situation. I would want to give benefit of the doubt!
they have live music
Food was solid and the live entertainment was great.

Great service. The food wasn’t great. Spinach dip had huge pieces of artichoke so it wasn’t spreadable. Brussel sprouts were just ok, a little burnt which is fine but . no sauce no flavour. Just roasted sprouts . My friend did like his chicken wings
Came here for Karaoke Sunday hosted by Maurice Aucoin. Food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced with lots to choose from. Nice layout for the bar. Reasonably priced drinks. Staff were on the ball. Karaoke was fun!! Will be back.
had the fish and chips last night the most disgusting meal I ever had in my life Will not recommend this place to anyone I will never go back again waste of money
No happy hour anymore, only happy hour is on the beer they make in house, food is mediocre, fish and chips is good there. Bar staff is great, will not be back until happy hour is back.
The steak was rare and not well cooked and lost my appetite, The service is ok not the best but ok and the atmosphere: plain not really anything special or any decoration the food was slow for how it was cooked and no seasoning, the place also had a weird smell to it and the bathroom was dusty other than what I just put it’s ok
