First time trying Born & Raised tonight. Overall, not a great experience. Service was not good - we were seated for 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Had to get our own water from the bar. The food took awhile to come out - everything was just okay. The rigatoni vodka looked and tasted like it was microwaved. Probably won’t return any time soon.

Rigatoni Rose is incredible. Popped by on a Sunday and had a dozen oysters and this pasta. Great vibe, quick, walked right in. A go to spot for us walking from a few minutes away.

Friendly staff, friendly people, good vibes, and good place. Compared to Toronto this place is 10 out of 10.

Not the place to go if you don't have a lot to catch up on with your companions. Food out of the kitchen was slow but the floor staff were excellent.

Great food and service. Their pizza was soo delicious I will definitely order it again. Smash burger and fries were average, plus fries were over salted. This restaurant has a good vibe.

The experience was just okay. It was a bit too pricey considering what we received, but the pasta was okay and the pizza was good. Our table was located near the back, which wasn't ideal since staff were frequently going in and out through a side door, making it quite cold every time it opened. The staff were friendly, but most of the beers on the menu were out of stock. The place has a cool vibe, but finding a parking spot is very challenging.
3/5 for me.

Parking: Very difficult to find parking on a Saturday evening.

Kid-friendliness: Not a great place for kids. No kids menu.

This place is really good, everything from the customer service, the place and the food was really good. I got the rigatoni Pasta and it was really good. I would really recommend anyone to go here and try out their food. The meatballs were a bit cold but aside from that everything else was really good 10/10
