    We really enjoyed our time at Pigeonhole Downtown. The staff were all so helpful and seemed happy to be there tbh. The food was all done nicely, while it’s not reinventing the eating experience, everything was very tasty. We were there for happy hour, which was an absolute deal! Will be back for sure and to try the mains.

    We came for a team lunch and didn’t love it. Told them I had a gluten allergy so asked for the burger lettuce wrapped since there aren’t many options otherwise, they brought me a burger on a bun and had to send it back. Waited for a bit and my new burger came out, tasted fine. The fries were extremely salty, we had two orders at the table and could barely eat them. The beet salad portion is very tiny and they couldn’t add a protein to it They did comp my meal which was appreciated, but not sure I’d return here as there are better lunch options nearby.

    We had been to the PH on 17th but needed something nearer the theatres downtown. This PH is a real find, the food and service were really good, it was a little noisy, but in a good way. Try it, you will love it.

    The food was amazing and the drink list was really unique. We were happily surprised when we saw the portion size of the beef tartare and the pork belly (large plate) and were glad we tried the mushroom croquettes. A little loud even though the restaurant was 1/3 full but we will be back!

    Menu choices are extremely limited. Prices are exceptionally high. Wine prices exceed most restaurants. For lunch, this place is not a good choice. It is also very loud, so if you are taking a client, be prepared to not be able to hear. Service was very slow as well. I asked for the Manager to discuss and help provide feedback, I received a piece of paper with his e-mail.
    Pigeonhole - DowntownResponded on November 25, 2024
    Hey Cindy! I sincerely apologize that you did not enjoy your experience. We hold ourselves to a high standard here at Pigeonhole and unfortunately we missed the mark for you. I would love to hear your thoughts on the menu and feedback on how we can make it better for the future! Your feedback goes a long way to helping us improve as a brand new restaurant in the downtown core. I believe you can reach out to me directly over OpenTable in response to this, but if you are more comfortable reaching out over email instead my contact is gjaques@pigeonholeyyc.ca.
