Totally screwed up our dining experience. Wouldn't fix their mix up, because the "kitchen closed" mere moments after our food arrived. No management around to, you know, manage the place.
Absolutely pathetic customer service. Way to run ruin a great location.
AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO LEAVE DISAPPOINTED!!

Where to start the food was amazing and really good but the service was not the best took awhile to be seated, understaffed, we had to ask a couple times for our sodas, they didn’t give any napkins or cutlery for our appetizers, food took awhile and my food came out before my partners and it took 5-10 mins for hers to come out, and had to go in to grab my take out box after I asked for someone to bring one and after they said they would and received no apology for any of it.

Delicious bison burgers and nice patio where we could bring our dog on leash. Drinks were good. They were under staffed but handled it very well. Cool and collected and helpful. Great place :)
Delicious salad with the burger too!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns which tasted great

Everything was bad, well I couldn’t even say the food is cause I waited 2 hours to not get it cause I had places to be in that time. Yes I went out cause I had time to eat but not to wait 2 hours for my food. We asked for refills more than once and got nothing. I paid for my drinks and one meal for a party member who was staying and I left, to find out the rest of the table who stayed had a terrible time, one person asked for butter three times and got nothing as well. As they are getting ready to finally pay, they were asked to pay for a meal that was never served due to us leaving. Yes we left while food was being made but no they should not be made to pay for it, thankfully they didn’t but their own food wasn’t the greatest which sucked overall for everyone. Not sure if I recommend it.

Terrible service!!! If I could give 0 out of 5 I would.
So slow.....waited 45 minutes just for chicken fingers. Seriously??? It's deep fried food ?
Others waited 1/2 hour just for a menu. Waitresses are scarce.
Stay far away!!!!!!

The service was really bad — they did not have enough people working. A table next to us waited over an hour for their food and 2 of our 4 meals showed up before theirs. Two people in our party ate and we waited another 15-20 minutes for the other two meals to arrive. The server told us our order was up next to get us to stay when we asked for the check so we could leave, then we saw multiple other tables receive some of their orders, but not full orders either. They didn’t offer a discount or a real apology for the mix ups. We were standing up to leave when the other two meals arrived and they charged us full price. We left as quickly as we could. They seemed to be trying but it was just bad.

Iwe chose this restaurant based on easy access and hours open. It was our last meal before returning home.
I ordered eggs Benedict. They looked good on others plate.
I asked the server to please make them soft poached as I preferred them runny.
Our old beverages were brought out quickly, not with the meal. The actual meal was about 15 min wait. By now, my milk was warm and I had to get some ice to make it cool again.
The home cut hash browns were golden brown and quite good.
Where they lost me was when I got my meal, the eggs were solid, no yolk. The plate had an overwhelming vinegar smell.
I thought maybe they had a bit too much vinegar in the patching water. It seems they used vinegar in the hollandaise sauce also as this was the source of the smell and taste.
I summoned the nice server over and pointed out my concerns and she assured me she asked for soft poached. She said she could get it replaced but we were already anxious to got. The wait fir the first meal was long. I didn't want to wait more and said I will eat it as is but no happy.
When she brought the bill, she said she covered my milk cost in exchange for my warm milk and hard eggs.
Be aware of the wait when you go and clear on what you actually want and hope to get.
Food prices are high enough now. My expectations are higher.

Went there on Monday after one and was seated after about 10 minutes. A waitress came by and took our order about 10 minutes after that. Then the waiting started. After about 30 minutes I was hoping we could at least get our drinks but never saw the waitress who took our order again. So after watching everyone around us get their orders we decided to leave and no one even checked to see if we owed any money. We just walked out. I will not be back!

Unfortunately we went in on a Sunday and they were severely understaffed. Just 1 server and the manager. They both hustled and were great but it wasn’t possible for them to check in on us at all. Took almost 2 hours. But food was decent.

Had breakfast here, a breakfast poutine and an extra pancake on the side. It was hands down the best breakfast I have had in years. I travel for work and review a lot of restaurants but this stands out in my mind because of the food and the service. It was so good, I am still thinking about it.

I ordered a special - toasted Brie with blueberry and apples. It sounds like it should be an excellent combination. The cheese was cold, the apple was bland and sliced in a way that made it difficult to eat. Whatever oil was used for frying left the sandwich and fries with an off putting, sweet aftertaste.
I could only force down half the sandwich and a few of the fries.
Looked good, did not meet my expectations.
Maybe the regular dishes are better.
