    I took my friend here for Valentines Day and overall it was a great atmosphere and unique dining style. It was nicely decorated with themed balloons and tea candles on each table (ours was out of battery, but the idea was nice). It was quite busy as expected and waited a some time to order our drinks and for our appetizer to arrive. We ordered the Gin lemonades and they were great drinks, a tad strong and would have perferred more volume for $13.99. We got the Korean Wrap and Steak Sandwhich and both were very delicious. I loved the fries. The steak sandwhich was open faced, which forced me to have to use my fork and knife, and didn't feel like much of a handheld. I would have liked another top bun or thicker sourdough to compensate. The flavour was on point and perfectly medium rare. Overall we would definately try this place again for dinner on a regular day!

    The food and service were excellent - top-notch! The value was surprising too and I love that they source local products. My steak and garlic parmesan fries were the best I can remember having in a long time. My wife had the mushroom rigatoni with pesto and goat cheese and raved about it too. I would only change one thing and add another dessert option, maybe a tiramisu, sweet pazzo or bread pudding. I can't wait to visit again!

    The food and drinks were very tasty but beware, despite the upscale feel it is still a pub and the noise level was higher than we expected. One other thing...they don't take AMEX, as I discovered when I went to pay.
