| - Like others, have been to this restaurant many times, but my first review for it. Nothing but positives to say, when reviewing the restauant for what it is (I'll circle back to that).
The staff is always great. The last time we got there was early (dinner-wise) on a Saturday night, and you could tell staff were 'getting psyched up'. We had marvelous, fast and friendly service. This is one of those places where the staff actually listens to what you are saying, rather than being on automatic.
Food was great, great, great. I wouldn't recommend manning a kissing booth after eating here, but fresh, tasty and I wasn't told "Careful, the plate is hot!" (which is restaurant speak for 'been under warmers for a while").
Great selection on the menu, and prices are right where they should be. As mentioned, minors aren't allowed (and I agree, appreciated sometimes).
A lot of people have mentioned that this restaurant is a bit 'bi-polar' in terms of what it is trying to be, look-wise. It is half sports bar/half fine dining. I suppose, if it's working, keep going with it. I guess the downside is that when you have someone there drinking beers watching the Flames, dinner parties aren't going to get seated.
Yes, it gets busy, likely due to the fact it is one of the better restaurants in that part of town. So, get there early, especially if a big game is on.
