| - I came here on family day with a couple friends for an easy and casual dinner. The atmosphere was cozy, relaxed and super hip - I thought that the lights were beautiful and really added to the ambience. However, our experience started off poorly.
We waited for a good 10-15 minutes before we were seated, despite the restaurant not being overly busy - there just wasn't any acknowledgement from the staff that we were waiting. The server/host wasn't very warm, welcoming or engaging which was evident in the lack of eye contact. Once we were seated, we waited another 10-15 minutes before a server came and asked us for our drink orders. Getting the server's attention was also a challenge - when we were ready to order, we made eye contact with our server. While he acknowledged us, it took him a while before actually returning to get our orders.
I had the burger ($10, no sides). At best, the burger was mediocre - it wasn't particularly flavourful or juicy. My friend had the spicy tomato penne and was similarly disappointed - she said it was too salty and overly sauced. However, the garlic aioli that comes with their fries is the /bomb.com./ I would shamelessly lick that off a plate.
Probably wouldn't return of my own choosing, but if I do return, I will just have the fries.
