J'aurais mis 0 si j'avais pu. J'avais fait une réservation pour 10 personnes 2 semaines avant la journée. 1h avant ma réservation, j'ai reçu un appel pour me dire qu'ils n'avaient pas de place pour nous & de ne pas nous présenter sur place. Très ordinaire

On a réserver pour un party de bureau. Le service était A+, comme la bouffe. L'ambiance pendant le souper était parfaite. On a fini en participant au karaoké. C'était une très belle soirée

Loved this place. Our bartender was excellent & even talked us into trying Poutine. Once was enough for me, but my husband liked it. We just got sandwiches & cider. The place is open until 4 a.m. & then reopens at 6 a.m. I wish we had time to try the breakfast, but we didn't. Next time! There is comedy there & karaoke & a gaming room. There is a separate entrance for the bar.
