    This restaurant is fortunate it has an incredible location, and honestly, that's what keeps people…read morecoming back. Unfortunately, the experience behind the scenes tells a very different story. The biggest issue isn't the staff as they work hard and do the best they can under difficult circumstances. The real problem is a lack of support from management. The restaurant often appears understaffed, and scheduling doesn't seem to provide employees with the help they need during busy periods. Even more concerning is how management handles abusive patrons. I've witnessed customers become verbally abusive and borderline physically intimidating toward bartenders and servers. From what I've observed, this has contributed to high staff turnover. On more than one occasion, I've seen employees leave in tears while managers were nowhere to be found or appeared to avoid dealing with the situation. The fact that loyal regular customers have had to step in to calm situations and support staff speaks volumes. Employees should never have to rely on patrons to help keep situations under control or to feel safe at work. This business has tremendous potential because of its prime location, but "location, location, location" will only carry it so far. Dear management: it's time to step up. Support your employees, ensure they have adequate staffing, and create a safe, respectful environment for both staff and guests. Your team deserves better, and so do your customers.

    We had come here on a Sunday at around 11:30 am for an early lunch. We had never been here before…read moretherefore, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this restaurant was. It caters more to the sports crowd however, there were some tables off to the side in which were catered to those with smaller children, which was where we were seated. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a kind server, that brought us to our table, and allowed us ample time to choose our menu items. I had settled on the butter chicken with rice and naan, while my son had the mini sliders with fries, my daughter had the kids' mac 'n cheese, and my mother had the fish tacos with nachos. I really enjoyed the butter chicken; the taste was excellent however, there were too many onions. I found that most of the butter chicken dish was overpowered with onions, which I didn't like. However, after scooping the onions away, it tasted great! I loved how the dish included rice and naan, such a great addition, and there was a lot of it as well! My daughter's mac 'n cheese was straight from the box, and was a tad expensive for what was given to her. We found some of the food items to be a bit pricey, especially for the children's menu however, the food was quite delicious, and the service was top-notch! The only issue was the parking, as there are many condos in the area, and finding parking is hard, even early in the morning. I will definitely give this place another try however, I may park at Square One and walk the next time.

    The atmosphere is very weird, the dining vibes are not it. It's open concept, lighting feels off,…read morethe seating is very dated and feels like you're at a low tier fast-food / run down mom and pop restaurant not a steakhouse. The service is not very attentive, we were seated and told to use the qr code for the menu. We picked our items and not one waiter decide to come back to take our order. We had to flag down a waiter, to give in our order. When the food arrive, they weren't even sure if it was for our table, the staff never came back to check if everything was okay. We had to also flag them down to get take out boxes, and again for the bill. The food: the appetizer, we ordered the calamari it had good flavours and were crispy. Slighly more oily but still delicious. The jerk chicken had good flavours and was very tender. The veggie upgrade is NOT worth it and extra $3 for 5 carrots and 3 broccolis. The rib eye steak was okay, the cut is not the best. The hot stone makes the table very hot, the plate holding it was cracked and hazardous imo. Fries in general were tasty and the 3 different sauces were good. In general this place needs to step it up a little, atleast with service since it's the easiest thing to change. The decor can come after..

    We had come here on a Saturday evening at 6:00 pm for dinner. When we had arrived, it wasn't too…read morebusy however, we had made reservations in advance just in case they were needed. We were given a booth near the entrance of the restaurant, then given menus to choose our items from. We also noticed that there was a QR code on the table, in which we were able to scan and view the menu on our phones. Once we had chosen our items, we waited patiently, while admiring the music playing on the loudspeaker, and the television screens showcasing the menu items in video format. The restaurant itself was dark, with moderate lighting, and a calm ambiance. More guests started to come as we were seated, and the restaurant became busier. Since we had ordered an appetizer, we were waiting on that to arrive while watching other guests arrive. Calamari was the appetizer in which we had chosen, as we both enjoy eating it. It was a tad spicy, and didn't have a lot of sauce on the plate to dip the calamari into. However, it did have a nice kick to it, and was easily eaten by us both. We then had to wait another ten to fifteen minutes to receive only my meal, which was the hamburger with melted cheese. We would have liked to receive our meals together however, the lamb that my husband ordered took much longer to arrive. Since the lamb came about fifteen minutes after the hamburger, the kitchen provided us with a complimentary salad, which we found generous. Both the lamb and hamburger meals were well-prepared and tasty however once again, not enough dipping sauce was provided for fries, and the salad on the plate with the lamb was covered with the sauce used for the lamb. Service was great throughout the entire night, with the server coming by to check on us, and apologize for the long wait for the lamb to arrive. Overall, this restaurant had tasty food and a chic ambiance however, the prices were a little high, and some of the presentation items (lack of sauce, slow service) were a bit of a let down. However, this place definitely had a lot of options, and would surely satisfy any hungry individual looking for a well-made meal.
