The kitchen is viewed as ambitious but uneven, with dishes like a lasagna that seems to have lived through several lifetimes and a sauce that tastes watery, while the garlic bread earns nostalgic notes. The menu tries to cover many cuisines under a plastic cover, including pizza, wonton soup, souvlaki, smoked meat poutine, submarine, and a parmesan fondue that may not fit together. The ambiance is described as quirky and a bit dated, with neon that creaks and a chalkboard announcing the soup of the day since March, giving a museum of waiting vibe. Overall, the restaurant feels like a place for experience seekers, offering memorable moments, strong service, and a few standout hits alongside notable misses.View restaurant profile
