First time visiting,definitely won't be the last. Great draught selection and wine list. We visited sun may 26th, not sure of our servers name but he was fantastic. We frequent a lot of bars and restaurants and this guy was amazing. He was constantly roaming around, ensuring everyone's drinks weren't empty. Had some nachos and fries, were both delish. We...

I have visited this establishment a few times. I do think that the owners are working hard to make this business work. Nice decor, nice drink selection, and capable staff. I visited recently for dinner, first time I have eaten here. The service was good from the friendly smiling hostess to the friendly smiling waitress. Drinks are on special around... More

Went for dinner on a Saturday evening and the place was bustling. Service was super - very friendly and courteous staff that were also very attentive. The menu has unique and unusual items which make this a place that you should try at least once. Portions are generous and food tastes fresh and healthy - even the duck poutine. The... More

Service: It took a 20 minutes to be seated but we were expecting it on a Friday night. The servers were really good. They were always around to ask if we needed anything and always kept the glasses full. Decor: Similar to any other bar. The bathrooms were clean. Food: The duck fat poutine was super good. The pulled pork... More

If you love great food and good drinks specials this is definitely for you! The pulled pork grilled cheese was a huge portion couldn't even finish it all but it was delicious! Great list of beers as well with pretty good service.

I can't say more about this place. The food, drink, and service are all amazing. Went here 4 times in the past month. Favorites are the Black Truffle Mac & Fromage, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese, and their Bison Burger. They have a happy hour from 4-7pm and 10pm to midnight each day. Service is always friendly and professional.

Leave the diet at the door. Duck fat is the oil of choice and foie gras is available as a side! From daily Poutine specials to Duck wraps and Bison burgers this place goes straight for the coronary. To be fair there are some amazing salads on the menu....but come on....NACHOS WITH GUYERE CHEESE AND BISON CHILI!!! Service was friendly... More

Cracked Canoe, good nachos and sweet potatoes, my official bar by far! The bison burger is also highly recommended. Did I mention they have Hooch Hour? (Happy Hour) 16h:00 - 19h:00 and after 22h:00!!

Have been here a couple of times, once just for snacks and beer, and last evening for a full meal. Service is excellent, food is very good and some of it is quite inventive. Could be a bit more complex in flavours (I had the 25 minute chicken which was good, juicy, but unexciting). Wine list is reasonably marked up,... More
