“ Really enjoyed this lovely spot to grab some good food and have some delicious beers. We were there during the Poutine Fest, and both of their entries were delicious. They have a very wide selection of beers both on tap and in cans, and brew their own right here on site. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed, yet sophisticated. ”
“ We just crossed over from the US, so this is our first sampling of Canadian cooking. I have to say, if all Canadian restaurants are this good, we may not go south again (just kidding authorities!). The fries were hot and fresh, the burgers and chicken were incredibly juicy and the sauces were on point. The gluten-free bun was one of the best ones I've had. ”
