Briggs - what a great place. I've been here twice now...once for lunch with one person and for dinner with 6 others.
Food - something for everyone for sure. Great flavours and neat things you dont see elsewhere like deviled eggs (so good). If you are part of a group, you can customize kind of a sharing/tasting menu based on hunger levels and budget. This is a great way to try many things. We had an almost vegetarian in our group and she didn't go hungry - they made sure of it. Some highlights included poutine, the salmon, the meat dishes...oh it was all good. They also had some unique, cool cocktails. Everything was reasonably priced too, in my opinion.
The only downside, which has been mentioned, is how loud it gets. Now for our group we scored the glassed in private room. That made all the difference in being able to talk and be heard, and also gave us a view of part of the kitchen. Very cool. But elsewhere in the place it was deafening - just from other patrons talking.
I'll be back for sure to try out some of the dishes I didnt get to try! I just might pick slightly off hours to do so if I plan on talking to my dining companion :)
