Our first time here and was not sure what to expect as did not really preview the menu. We sure were pleasantly surprised! Our server whom I am guessing was possibly the owner, was so warm and welcoming. The food is fantastic and did not at all seem pre-frozen and reheated at all - was so fresh and delicious! The inside is not fancy but the food shines brightly enough to easily overlook that. We will be returning again - great food, gracious host and generous portions.

Went to the Safari Grill for Valentine’s Day and was not disappointed! This is a great jewel that has been hidden on Central for nearly three years before I have ever visited. The food was delicious and the server...one of the owners named Chynna (sp)...was so engaging and delightful. I will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended!

Truly outstanding food (all 4 of us were eager to try new things), great beer selection, and terrific service. A highly enjoyable experience, even with the patio requirements!! We’re very much looking forward to many meals there.

Very delicious, the mango beer was the perfect pair to the food. Unfortunately the veggies for me were over cooked. I couldn’t help myself, it was all so tasty I couldn’t leave room for dessert. Maybe next time haha

Excellent flavourful food. Owners were such sweet people. We were late due to a medical appointment that ran long, and they still served us. We had a really good meal and the price was very reasonable. We will go back!
