  • The staff and management/ownership are very nice. I felt well received and appreciated as a customer. The location is great and minutes from where I live (less than two if I hustle). Easy to walk to and the 57 bus stop is right outside. Good spot in the summer with the enclosed terrace in the back and proximity to the canal. The menu is challenging and needs to be fixed asap or this wonderful place won't last long. If it lasts more than 2 yrs, the main reasons will be location and staff. Beer selection passes but needs work. Don't be fooled by the big brewery micro brew fakes. Owners, work with your chef to find a better-suited menu for this mixed upscale/lowscale location. There's a lot of money in this place but people also want easily accessible food along with their easily accessible living space. You're trying too hard. You don't need to be this unique, you do need to have excellent tasting and well prepared food. Drop the funky mixes and don't overcook (or undercook) your food. It's OK to be a little more mainstream in this location if your goal is profit and happy customers. Chef, talk to your guests (and locals) and solicit some real no-bullshit feedback to understand what people really want. I'm not convinced that you understand your real market and that you did enough research before coming up with your menu. I've visited 4 times now since opening week and I will not be back for another try until this summer. I'm willing to keep testing until you get it right but will not be a regular customer (1-3 times a week) until I see some change. You need to get it right soon or someone else will. This place has tons of potential but needs some work. 2 stars now could easily be 4 or 5 with a little effort. ------- Update ------- Great turnaround, guys! I've been back many times since my first post and consider myself a regular now. The menu has gone through many tweaks and is stable. Food is consistently prepared and tastes great (try the bacon cheeseburger, Mac and cheese, or poutine for a surprise treat). Some new beers were brought in a while ago. New tables and chairs in the front section. Staff is still awesome! I highly recommend this place, particularly if you're a local looking for a new favourite place where you feel at home.
