The reservation booking process was very easy, we simply reserved our spot a few hours before we arrived on open table. The restaurant is quite intimate. It is a smaller space that is decorated nicely. For the entree I had the short rib gnocchi which was sooo amazing. I would come back just for the gnocchi alone. The meat was super tender and the gnocchi were soft and suited the dish well. Both cocktails that I had were great and they were only $9, which I found quite reasonable. The server has very attentive and checked in on our table an appropriate amount. I hope to come back here again if I am ever in Waterloo.

I went out with crutches and a knee splint and he went out of his way to find something to support my leg so I could sit comfortably. He was also so kind to retrieve us information from the bar manager multiple times when we were trying to figure out what wine and beer we wanted to take home. In addition to the service, the food was great and the wine and beer pairings they selected fit with the food fit so well. Our mains were our favourite - the trout and osso bucco. Both came with amazing sauce, and sides were cooked perfectly. I would definitely go back to see what they have on their everyday menu to test it out. And I 100% recommend you try them out as well!

It was starting to get crowded and I had my second drink of the night in my hand: I was not drunk. We were having a good time. At some point, security barrels through the crowd. Drinks flying and I was pushed to the floor. I was soaked in alcohol, and my glass was empty. There was a fight at the other and of the bar that had nothing to do with us, and security broke it up and kicked the guys out. I got another drink and went on with my life - I wasn't too upset about being pushed cause I figured they were just doing their job. We went out for some air about 10 minutes later when a security starts yelling at us. He had been splashed in the chaos and I guess he was mad about it. Weird cause he was the one pushing people. Anyway he starts yelling at us, saying we purposefully threw the drink, even though he didn't say which one of us it was. He banned us both for the night, and refused to check cameras cause he didn't feel like it (after threatening to check cameras when he started to accuse us). It was so random, and I'll bet any money that he had drinks from half the bar on him, seeing as I was dripping wet from my own drink (the drinks aren't that big there). I was calm, apologized, said it wasnt on purpose, and that I didn't care that much about him throwing me to the ground 15 minutes before. He was inconsolable, rude, and defiant. Eventually we gave up and went to a bar next door. It felt so weird to be singled out like that for no reason. We weren't rowdy or drunk, we were buying drinks (or trying to) so I have no idea why he got so pissed at us even though I'm sure everyone's drinks were on him. I posted a review about this on Google and it got taken down. Shame since it could be such a cute place, the decor is cute, and everyone there was vibing. I'm sorry you got wet my dude but consider that people at bars usually are holding drinks. Tdlr; security here are assholes.

Couldn't figure out the group play thing to shoot zombies together until the end but it is pretty awesome even in single player mode. You do feel like you are somewhere else. And it does make the time go very fast. Real time that is. Is it perfect yet? Nope. Would I go back? Sure. Maybe won't touch but would not mind trying. I do think there are some improvements to be made. So in reality 3.5 stars. But the staff (adults) are cool. So the extra half star is awarded for their service in the line of duty. Bring your dad, mom, kids, and do try this out, that is if there is anyone out there like me that hadn't had the pleasure.
