my husband & i ate here for the first time today right at opening (2pm in a Saturday) & we both ordered the fish & chips, along with a order of onion rings as an appetizer. blown away doesn’t describe our experience! our waitress was so friendly & nice to not only us but our 1.5 year old daughter. all of our food was literally steaming hot when it arrived. i added malt vinegar to my fish & it was SIZZLING the food was so fresh! not to mention we had all the food incredibly quick! we have been searching for a perfect beer battered fish & chips option & boy did we find it!!! the batter was so crispy yet soft. it was PERFECT. by far the BEST food we have had in such a long time, the atmosphere was very pub oriented yet cozy. we cannot wait to go back!!

Full house on a Friday happy hour. Awesome service and food. Got the best shrimp and chips experience- huge and plentiful with homemade batter and cocktail sauce.

Fantastic place for good vibes and amazing food and potent drinks! 1 lemon shot with a lavender cocktail is all you need! Love the people here and service! Definitely come on by to chill and have a great time 💛💛💛

We ordered an onion ring tower to share, take a look and let me know what you think? My wife got the portobello avacado sandwich pictured above, the portobello was thin. The gouda macaroni and cheese was pretty good. I got the Big B Burger and asked for it medium rare more towards the rare side and below is what I got. This was another disappointment that I brought to the servers attention he apologized for the burger but didn't offer to bring me a new one, that's another place where they missed the mark. I'll try them again next time we're here, like I said they just opened and I'm sure they are going through some growing pains!

So lovely! The wait staff was so friendly and helpful. The fish was great and the fries and cheese on the poutine was great. Though, I think next time I might order it with extra gravy for personal preference. I asked them to make a mocktail for me and it was so good! The only thing I see room for improvement is, I hope they someday can move into a larger location. But the atmosphere for what space they do have, was well done.
