   The food and service were excellent! Staff were friendly and welcoming. The braised beef tacos and cauliflower bites were delicious. We also enjoyed the Pumphouse Pilsner on tap.

   1st time visiting James Avenue Pumphouse. Loved the look of the restaurant. We were sat right near the glass overlooking the pumps which was nice. Our waitress was excellent, and the food was really good. The only negative I have is that the noise level is fairly high. It is like that in a lot of restaurants though. Good place for a group of friends, and 1 block from the Centennial Concert Hall which is great before an event. Overall, would definitely go back.

   It was an amazing experience. We had a great time! Our server, Sydney, was very welcoming and helpful. I guess I found my new favourite spot!

   Great experience. Really cool surroundings with the huge windows for viewing the 100yr old pump house. Great food options, fun vibe. Try the Perogi...it is a must order!!

   Our food was fantastic and well-prepared. However, the service left something to be desired. Our server rarely checked on us, and we had to wait over 20 minutes just to receive our bill. While the meal itself was enjoyable, a more attentive staff would have made the experience even better.

   Buzzing downtown restaurant on a Saturday evening; good enough for people to wait more than half an hour for a table. Absolutely amazing plant-based menu that tastes better than the dishes with meat and dairy. Will go back again very soon

    Great service, very good food, noise level discouraged conversation, a tad expensive.
