Unfortunately this place has gone down extremely in quality. The lamb rib was way too fatty and the smoked duck was more like ham. The Caesar salad was really salty and had a hair in it. The house salad was ok. The place was empty… it used to be a happening place with real food. This is a big disappointment. The server lady was very kind, trying her best.

The old Bean Bar had wonderful food and atmosphere. It has been stripped of all warmth, it’s loud, overly bright and just bad.
The food was dry and had no flavour. It’s hard to ruin a quesadilla and a steak but they managed to kill both.
There were only 3 tables of guests and the waitress couldn’t remember the orders when getting the bill. Stay away.

Had the ahri tuna salad. Looked pretty, but I don't think the flavors mixed really well. A bit too much dressing on the salad

Margarita was really small but very strong. Nachos were really bad, there was no protein on the nachos and they were pretty stale, way too many olives, and lack of cheese(got horrible cramps and chest pains after).
Our server was really nice and accommodating, she was great.
It was just the food that was terrible. It was also completely empty in there.
Only one bathroom not accessible to wheel chair users, it was a few flights of stairs into the basement and only one bathroom.

The owner (I think) is such a sweet woman! She is always here when I come. The food, drinks, and vibes are amazing. Very reasonably priced too!!! Super underrated

I wish I could say this place had potential, but our experience was a total letdown from start to finish. We ordered the nachos expecting a loaded plate of cheesy goodness with all the toppings promised on the menu—specifically, those beef crumbles that are supposed to make it hearty and satisfying. Nope. They were nowhere to be found. Just sad, bare chips drowning in subpar cheese sauce with some limp veggies thrown on top.
We tried the cappuccino. What a joke. It tasted exactly like watered-down diner coffee mixed with generic cream—no froth, no richness, just bitter regret in a mug. And the prices? Highway robbery. Skip this spot unless you enjoy overpaying for mediocrity.

The food is terrible. To be fair we only had nachos and bruschetta.
The bruschetta is served on multi grain bread with the most pesto I've ever seen and lightly sprinkled with tomatoes and a hint of goat cheese.
The nachos were equally bad.

Nachos were dry didn’t/couldnt finish them that was the appetizer.
Had Fish & Chips for dinner chips were good, fish was way too salty so much so I couldn’t finish that either
Bathroom was in terrible shape like it hadn’t had a good cleaning in a while. If I had went to washroom before ordering I wouldn’t have ate there.
$100 for app and 2 meals. Not worth it.
Servers were kind so it hurts a bit to leave this review.

Ww went on a Saturday evening and, based on coming here a few years ago, hoped to get a seat. But there were only four other guests. The server was very friendly. We just had coffee and a slice of tasty cake. But I wondered what happened.

Waited 20 mins.. didn't even get a menu.
Can't rate the food because we never got any...just a glass of water. Used to be good. Not going back!
