Over the experience, our server was super attentive & made sure we had a great experience. I started with the tomato bacon soup- honestly, that was probably my highlight. It was so delicious. I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My wife had the chicken teriyaki bowl. My steak was cooked and seasoned well. The asparagus was seasoned well. The potatoes were fairly bland & didn't have much flavor but the steak helped make up for that. My wife liked her bowl, specifically the chicken, but said there was a ton of rice + broccoli so she didn't get close to finishing it. Overall, it was a great experience and if we were back in town, we'd visit again.

Wife had Lake Erie Perch and side salad and I had chicken wings. Wings were only ok but pricey. My wife's fish came out with 3 little pieces of breaded fish!

As an out-of-towner, I decided to give this place a try since I was craving steak and heard this…read morewas one of the closest spots to where I'm staying. The weather was nice, so I chose the outdoor seating area, which was clean and fairly organized. When it came time to order drinks, I asked the waiter what was popular and tried getting some recommendations. Unfortunately, he didn't seem very familiar with the drink menu -- including basic beer comparisons -- and even asked whether Cabernet was a red or white wine. Not a huge deal, but not the best first impression either. I ordered a glass of red wine and water. The wine arrived, but the water never did until much later. For appetizers, I ordered the sliders and buffalo wings (I'm big on protein). The sliders were actually pretty good. I'm no expert, but they didn't quite taste freshly grilled -- though I didn't think too much of it at the time. The buffalo wings, however, were a big DISAPPOINTMENT. As someone who really enjoys wings, these had almost no flavor or heat. They honestly tasted like reheated leftovers with barely any sauce. Then came the entrée: the New York Strip. I usually order either a NY Strip or Ribeye when trying different steakhouses, so I had some expectations. Unfortunately, this was another DISAPPOINTMENT. The fries tasted refried -- the kind of taste most people recognize immediately. The steak looked great visually, but the flavor and texture made it seem like it had been cooked earlier and reheated. There was even a napkin or paper placed underneath to absorb the juices (mainly blood, I had to remove it myself and place it on another plate), which was odd. No real vegetables or sides besides the fries either, unless you count the canned corn. What surprised me most was the service. Nobody checked in to ask how the meal was, and I only received the water after the appetizers had already been served. After finishing my food, I sat there long enough to watch an entire episode of a show on my phone -- around 20 minutes -- before the waiter finally came back. By that point, I didn't even bother asking for another drink or dessert, assuming the feeling was mutual. Overall, not a great experience. Maybe I came on an off night, but based on this visit, I wouldn't personally recommend the food. If anything, this place may be better suited for drinks than dining. Tip: try ordering the food and taste it before alcohol. #tastebuds

It really saddens me to put this review in. I guess with the inflationary costs of food, the two…read morecan dine deal that used to be $59.99 for two moved to $69.99, with upcharge to some of the core two can dine menu items. Now the menu items are like club sandwiches, fish and chips, salad with a protein, fried chicken... a departure from the local fresh and uniquely marketed local fresh items that were unique. There is nothing special about this two can dine menu- and many are more lunch favourites. The two can dine date night menu isn't even available for lunch- which is where it belongs. Service has gotten slower, maybe staff cutback? But I've seen the same number of staff members. It took about 2 hours to get in and get out.

Mac & Cheese was good and a decent portion. Their fries are awesome, well done, very crispy, seasoned well. Both steaks were ordered Medium, but were both closer to medium rare. Both guests didn't enjoy them but I tried both and they were OK. Not great, but just OK. Fish & Chips was great, came with tartar sauce and a blue cheese dip for the fries. We had the cinnamon bun bread pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert, this was really good. Overall the food was good and the service was fantastic.
