18 people went to this restaurant last night. We booked in advance. Only 2 waitresses, one for the…read morefront of the restaurant, one for the back. We were told this was a good restaurant to try. Deplorable planning of staff. We arrived at 6 pm. and didn't receive our food until after 7:30. They messed up further because one person's food order was missed. What owner of a restaurant doesn't call in more staff, there was only one chef! The food was okay, nothing great! The server tried her best, but it wasn't good enough. I suggested free dessert, due to the aggravation. She hesitated and then did give us free dessert. 20 % gratuities were added to our bill. A further insult to the evening. 10% or 15% would have been more deserving. We usually give 15% but this was undeserving. The owner's may have been away, or too busy to correct this situation. Will not return again.

Finally went for breakfast here and was not disappointed. The outside look of the restaurant is a…read morebit deceiving, I guess it's hard to dress up a strip mall location. The interior is dated but we weren't there for the decor. Was there on a Saturday mid morning, there was a mixed crowd there with some families. Fortunately it wasn't full and no lineup. The service was very good and the food prep seemed to be faster than many of the chain breakfast locations. The atmosphere is more laid back than the chains as well. The actual food was very good. Portions seemed to be just right. For my meal the home fries were very good as was the western omelet. My wife's bacon and eggs was very good as well. We'll be back maybe to try the souvlaki next time.

Parking is only a small lot so it does get crazy when all the businesses are open. The atmosphere and decor are excellent. The vibe is so homey and trendy walking in. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress seated us quickly with menus and water. Another waitress came to explain the cakes to us. We got - Ice Cow: shaken chocolate milk with whip cream. This was ok but I'd definitely try and go for other drinks when I come back - Chai Latte: this is a must. The drink comes in a cute little pot, a cup sugar rimmed, & a strainer. This was amazing. 100% better than the ones you'd get at Starbucks. Salted Caramel Cake: has a meringue feel. The crunchiness added to the overall texture and flavour of the cake. Rocky Road??? It was the a little too overwhelming for me. The cake was a little too dense and it was too sweet. Would be great with somebody with a sweet tooth that loves chocolate though. I'd love to come back for lunch or dinner sometime. They also serve Donut Monster donuts here!

What the heck happened to this place! Don't belive the…read morepositive reviews they are fake. My wife and I ordered the lamp chops, a great cut of meat that were destroyed and barely chewable. I had the apple brie with carmelise onions, that came barely cooked, The brie itself had zero taste over the raw onions. I was happy with the side of fries, cruchy with a soft centre I use to take my daughter to this place 6 years ago when she was at Mac and the food was amazing, rocking music, packed with people. The menu was huge with many vegan and healthy and tasty options. No longer, very sad. If you're in Hamilton Mac area and want some better food in the area, try Squire on Locke Str. Or the Thisty Catus in Dundas. Overall, I'm disappointed to see what happened what was a great place to dine.

The waitress didn't even know if they had olive oil and then a senior waitress came out and said "oh she didn't know." The salad was very similar to the salad in a bag that you would get at No Frills, pasta was VERY basic... And the bruschetta looks like a five-year-old did it, it was absolutely brutal I wish I could get my money back, but I wanted to get out of there because there was a teenage couple beside me with their screaming baby and I needed to leave. never again

Our family commented to each other: the only thing missing is a true parmesan for grating if desired, rather than the North American made grated bagged parm.

The staff were very friendly and we shared some laughs. The food was very good. If I was to nit pick the service was a tad slow, but I think that is part of the charm as all the meals were cooked fresh in house (the sauces didn't taste pre-prepared) and everything came out hot. Another minor issue was there was no bread for the tables which we would have enjoyed to sop up our sauces! As a plain dessert guy I would have liked a tartufo but no such luck! We will definitely be back!
