Our waitress was kind and made suggestions of what she liked on the menu. We were informed that there were no specials, but also that several items were not available. This was surprising to me as it was a Saturday night and had just opened. We placed our orders and were given bread. The bread pieces were cute into tiny triangles and when it was finished, I requested another basket but was told that it would cost us $3. As a group of 8 people, we should have been given 2 baskets of bread from the start. We were spending enough money on drinks and dinner that the restaurant could have provided a second basket of bread. Our meals arrived and there was a mistake with 2 orders. One person had to wait a long time to receive their meal while the rest of the party had theirs. We inquired with the waitress about the meal and that's when we found out that because of the mixup, they had to make a new order for him. As for the food, 4 of our party ordered the duck and enjoyed it. The rice pilaf tasted like rice cooked in bullion and that's it. My sister ordered the chipotle tortellini and enjoyed it. I ordered the broiled scallops which were supposed to be sea scallops but were actually bay scallops and pretty disappointing. In all, the experience was mediocre. I think it could be a decent restaurant if more effort was made to make it great instead of just ok.

Various table games are available to take to your table. nice touch to keep kids occupied. Ordering food and drinks for outside tables isn't the best system as you have to go to bar to make order. They had one person back there and she was overwhelmed making drinks and taking orders. Must be an easier system to implement for making food orders. We had a party of 8 so was very difficult keeping track and going back and forth. Maybe during busy times a waitress would be best and non peak hours ordering at bar would be fine. Dog cup of meat is a nice addition on menu. Dog was happy! Beer was excellent. Good variety and fair pricing. Frosted beer glasses would be even better. Food was average bar food at best. Burger patty was thin and flavorless. Pork on sandwich was extremely dry but sauce on it helped. Poutine fries were good and gravy was great but no curds to be found just melted cheese. Should be called disco fries not poutine fries. Biggest minus we encountered was the awful stench in the parking lot and on the patio occasionally depending on the wind. I mean come on ! This has to be addressed !!! Can't eat and drink in sewer stench. People covering their noses in parking lot on the way in is not ideal :) Get a pro and fix this asap ! Overall we enjoyed it as it's very comfortable and great atmosphere and very good beer. Fair pricing. Will return and hopefully that stench will be gone with the wind!
