   The restaurant itself could use some updating...very 80s feel to it, bad carpet, old tables and chairs....but the food though? Delicious. However, unless you want to wait for at least an hour before your food arrives, you'd better order the ready to order items like the beef brisket or beef ribs, which is what me and my husband ordered. And our server was a very pleasant lady (really wish I could remember her name), but there were only two servers, a man and her. She gained more "gold stars" after we told her that we were hoping to make our movie on time and she worked hard to make sure we got our food, ate, and made it out in time to catch our movie...because at first, the wait was not looking promising. But again, I will reiterate that both of us were well pleased with our food and also the poutine appetizer was creative and delicious as well.

   Overall, all three members of my parry enjoyed the food very much. Our server was not only pleasant, but also knowledgeable, and attentive during our entire stay. Parking was convenient as there is a lot adjacent to the property in the back. We ate inside for our visit, as the weather was cold However the outside patio looks ideal for a warm weather trip.

   The service was amazing but we were underwhelmed by the food. Our crab cake appetizer was partially frozen in the middle, but was very tasty and the accompanying micro greens were so delicious. Get this but make sure it’s cooked all the way through. the greens were spicy but lacked flavor - maybe because they’re vegan, but they were edible. Nothing could be done to save the baked beans and the potato salad. Rarely do I leave food, but these two were left. We ordered the pork ribs and the chicken dinner. It was just ok although I thought the ribs were fatty and the quarter chicken piece was incredibly small. The corn was a hit but being out of season, it was small too. The Mac n cheese was good but I ordered it with the bbq on the side. Service 10/10. Food was a 6/10. Still we had such a pleasant experience, that we’d be back. We would order the corn, Mac, and crab cake again. Willing to give them another try
