| - Fantastic restaurant!
I had already been once before during the Yelpoween party and knew I was in for a treat. The décor of the place is so artsy. You have all kinds of tags and artwork on the walls and I believe it's all from Montreal. The vibe is casual but you tell it's also a bit classier because of the service and food offered. Adam won a gift certificate with Yelp and so were able to go again.
I got an ice tea to start off and it was just a bit too lemony for my taste but Adam really enjoyed his beer. We initially came here for a happy hour after work but ended up getting food as well.
The menu was so tempting! We got an entrée of calamari and it was delightful. Fluffy, creamy, and comforting.
For our main meal we both went with the burger (we wanted to get different meals so we could try more but we both really wanted the burger :P) and it was HUGE. I got mine with a side of ceasar salad and Adam got fries. What's great about this place is they give you your ketchup and mayo in individual personal little bottles. They are still sealed so you know only you will use it.I also really appreciate that they bring you the mayo along with the Ketchup. I always have to ask other places for mayo, but here they bring it without asking.
The burger was good, the meat was juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. I found the bread really warm and airy. The dressing of bacon, cheese, and tomato was winner. Nothing too life changing but still good.
Service is excellent. Our waiter, Simon, was great. He guided us when we wanted to pick our food, he made sure we had enough water and napkins often, he joked around with us, he was friendly yet professional. When we go to places like these, we sometimes get snubbed but not this time around (although this could be because were both in work clothes). It's really nice how they bring you your food on a trolley. It feels fancy and premium.
I don't often go to restaurants like these so this was a really fun date night place. I would come back again for sure!
The food may not have been the best I've ever had but coupled with the service and overall experience we had, it's a five.
