On the flip side, some guests report underwhelming elements such as undercooked noodles, bland broth, and a soggy stone pot rice, while others find portions small and pricey for what is served, with some skewers arriving lukewarm or lacking salt. Noise levels and a busy club vibe can overwhelm conversations, and service quality is described as inconsistent with occasional long waits; there are also mentions of a booking fee and mixed experiences with staff. Overall, Otto Yakitori Izakaya is regarded as a top pick for authentic grilled skewers and a lively vibe, but potential visitors should brace for variability in price, portion size, and service during peak times.View restaurant profile

La Cage

(194)

Review Summary

Taken together, reviews portray La Cage as a lively sports-bar option with lots of TVs and a buzzing game night atmosphere, where the popcorn starter and overall vibe are positives and service can be fast and friendly when the house isn’t crowded. Yet experiences vary widely. Some guests report long waits, uncomfortable high tables, and wings that arrive short or dishes that are not hot, while others praise the staff and the energetic ambiance during hockey games. Menu navigation is a hurdle for some, as the QR code system can be confusing and a printed menu is missed. A few items are described as too salty or not fully seasoned, with poutines or fries sometimes underwhelming, and several locations are seen as less polished than others. Despite these inconsistencies, many still enjoy the lively sports focus and return for the atmosphere and social experience with friends or family.View restaurant profile
