Fabulous, as always. Lively atmosphere, spectacular service, great food, and THE best Gimlet that will ever pass your lips (based on my unofficial, but extensive Gimlet research). PG is truly a gem, and it’s all due to an incredible team. Well done, all!

From when you walk in to going to your tables they make u feel right at home. Our waiter was amazing! Very helpful, playful and such a trooper to help us country pumpkins out. Explained everything to a T. The salads soups and basically everything was delishes. Must try the homemade ice cream, it's extremely flavourful and very rich. I would definitely go back even tho it's a wee tad expensive but it's worth it.
