    Great vibe. Lots of space at the bar. Tons of beers to choose from and a surprisingly large wine list. The BBQ brisket was nice but dry in parts, but the collard greens & baked beans were awesome.

    Great selection of craft beer. Need I say more? Food is not bad either. Bangers and mash are delish. Pomegranate salad is quite tasty too. Sit at the bar, the bartenders are awesome. :D

    Really nice place with a great beer list, but probably a little pricy for the area (ie. There are good, less-expensive equally cool places in the immediate area)

    Great service @ bar, food is decently appraising; mainly basic dishes, prepared well. Many tv’s on side wall for purely sports!

    This place has a long way to go. They can start by not forgetting to put the bacon marmalade on the union burger (that features bacon marmalade) - draft beers are at least $2 over market prices.

    Salmon spring rolls are bomb! I love the vegetarian burger with the pepper! Also love the Brussel sprout salad when in season!

    Very nice restaurant, love the big screen tv's, atmosphere is hip, food was not bad, nothing to write home about. Will go again to try the flatbread dishes.

    Biscuits were raw in the middle. Prawn linguine average. Chorizo poutine was great, huge portion.

    The burger and poutine are great and The Beer Float (not to be confused with the ROOT Beer Float) is amazing!

    Great choice of beers and smaller plates are a good portion size for non Americans.

    Make a reservation ahead of time and request one of the "cabana" booths!

    Nice staff, but when a customer asks about the private dining room, you don't walk away and say "I don't know, that's not my responsibility". If management wants to speak to me further, I'd be glad.

    Walked in to a half empty restaurant at 5:25pm. Told we didn't have a reservation so they couldn't seat us. Made a 5:45 reservation on OpenTable and was turned away because we had a child with us.

    This place is way overpriced for its quality. The menu descriptions were crafted with more skill than the food, and the juxtaposition was disappointing. The salmon egg rolls were good though.

    Hostess explicitly rude. Won't give you a table in an empty restaurant. Avoid for your own sake.
