I'll say first that we very much enjoyed the food. We started with the mussels, chips and dip, calamari and chicken wings. The mussels were in a beautiful sauce. The struggle salad is also great! However my Caesar was ridiculously watery, why do they put so much ice in a tomato based drink?! (a problem that is not exclusive to Insomnia)
For my part, I got the winterlicious menu and chose: pulled pork taco, chicken and waffles then carrot cake. The taco wasn't too sweet but nothing special either. The chicken and waffles had great presentation and delicious flavour in the chicken however the waffle was soggy and the coleslaw flavorless. The carrot cake was very nice.
Also the wait staff was accommodating when one of our members sent back a main because they didn't realise it had a sweet sauce; they re-made it with sauce on the side.
My issue is with the seating and bathrooms: they have some regular tables at the front but at the back for larger parties they have low chouchy chairs which aren't comfortable and our group ranged from 29 to 67 and we're all tall so no leg room. Next time I will make sure to ask for a regular table. The bathrooms are the typical rundown downtown basement washrooms but for a place that's trying to be somewhat classy, a fresh coat of paint and new locks on the doors would go a long way (and to empty the garbage), the solutions are too cheap to be ignored.
