Food: Uninspiring mouthfuls, bankrupt tastes
Having a BBQ Pork Sandwich here is an exercise in sadness, with its blandness only surpassed by a Guinness Pot Pie so prosaic it doesn't bear elaborating. The Chicken California prompts a shrug of indifference rather than a nod of satisfaction. The creativity is as dull as a doorknob. Even with portions that couldn't be larger, freshness is in dire straits here, with fish tasting as if they've been frozen since the Jurassic period.
Great Variety
Extensive, diverse menu options cater to all palates and diets.
Okay Taste
Some food reviews varied from delicious to mediocre, a mixed bag overall.
Value
Multiple complaints about food not being worth the overpriced cost.

Nachos
Huge nacho platter so large it requires two takeout boxes.
Vibe: Dreary atmosphere, deafening clamour
Stumbling into the interior feels less like an experience of exploration and more like a journey into a confusing abyss. What hopes you harboured of having a romantic night are shattered by the cacophony that assaults you the moment you enter this place. The atmosphere feels like it's had the life sucked out of it and replaced with a hefty dose of blah.
Great Drinks
Extensive, wide variety of quality beers and wines, impressive lists.
Okay to Entertain
Entertainment on patio okay, not too loud, enjoyable without being disruptive
Aesthetic
Some found the interior dark, dingy, and the atmosphere confusing or blah.
Perks: Sporadically competent parking, baffling service
Finding parking here is less of a Herculean task than expected, a small mercy when juxtaposed with the chaos of booth reservations. If you can survive the service, so sluggish it makes slugs look like NASCAR racers, there might be a ray of hope with their surprisingly pet and kid-friendly setting
Great for Groups
Accommodates large groups with great service, ample seating, and private rooms.
Bad Service
Service described as slow, inattentive, sometimes rude, and unprofessional.
