A friendly place to dine for any occasion, friends, or family gathering. Yesterday Lisa (a but unsure) came to our table with her Valentines' pink camera and dress. Her instant photo of us made our dining more fun and memorable. A big round of applause!

Glen and Priscilla looked after me and my family brilliantly. Would highly recommend them. We had a two week trip in Canada, and this restaurant also had the best dry martini we tried. Good food and good value as well, right next to the lake. Thanks to Glen and Priscilla for a lovely evening!

The fish and chips were awful. The drinks and ambiance were amazing. The restaurant didn’t charge me for the fish and chips so am thankful. Good place for drinks and social.

We’d been before & service and food was great so decided to return & have an early (8:30 PM) NYE dinner there. Enormous regret! Our server, Courtney, was wonderful & the cocktails were alright, however, with the sushi being an exception, the other items were EXTREMELY BLAND! I mean, BLANDDDDDD, like NO seasoning at all! The short rib mac & cheese literally had no flavour whatsoever, in fact, I left the entire thing! The karaage chicken… bland bland bland. We had some just because we were hungry 😏. The sushi was good though & it’s pretty much all I ate at Irene for my NYE dinner. Needless to say we certainly won’t be going back.

The portion of food was really correct, but the chicken of the fried chicken sandwich I ate has a weird taste, it was not good at all and some fried parts was filled with oil.

Had hair in the burger but that’s not even the worst part cause I get that mistakes happen and the other server rectified the situation. My whole table ordered food during happy hour and ended up getting charged the full price. A few of us paid before noticing the mistake before one of my friends pointed it out to the server. He refused to give us the refund for the difference, which was a substantial amount for me because I ended up paying for two of my friends bills for their birthday. In return he said he could give us extra food to try and compensate but it’s totally unfair to be charged extra in the first place without a refund. I had already had enough food for the night and just wanted to be charged the proper amount. Would not come again.

Despite not being busy, 1 out of 3 dinners was cold. The other two had long finished eating when the other person got their food. When we were finally done and asked for the bill it took another half hour. Think we are done for now. Sad, it used to be a great place.

Service was far to slow. Waitress barely came by the table to ask if we needed to order, and overall, not a pleasant experience. Shareable took way too long for simple Edamame. Need to pickup the pace.
