| - Met a friend Wednesday evening for Happy Hour. The hostess and wait staff were excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our waitress, Amanda, checked on us over and over, even after we had paid the bill and were still sitting there talking. They weren't crowded so, at times we had multiple wait staff at our table. I asked for beer recommendations and they took time to find out what kind of beer I like before they made suggestions. One of the waiters brought me a few samples before I made a decision.
We only had appetizers but, what we tried was very good. I ordered the Poutine and my friend had the mozzarella sticks. The Poutine was made with tater-tots covered in a very tasty brown gravy and feta cheese. Mozzarella sticks appeared to be house made; they definitely did not look like they came out of a box. We had planned to order dinner but, the portion size of the appetizers were so large we were stuffed when finished.
I'd love to give PKWY -Marks St. 5 stars but, I'm only giving them 4 because of two things. First, the music was so loud it was almost impossible to talk. We were yelling across the table the whole time. The kind of yelling that makes your throat hurt very quickly. This noise level kind of ruined the experience for me. Secondly, they have a happy hour "small bites" menu but, it's very limited. There were only a few items to choose from at three different price points ($5, $6, $7). I would have liked to see more on this menu so, we could have tried a bigger variety of their offerings.
I will come back and try them out again but, if the music is still extremely loud I probably won't return. I can't express how annoying the volume level was. It was 5:00 pm and the music was turned up to a 10:00 pm "partying level." Definitely not an early evening dinner type ambiance.
