Not a family friend place, we were looking forward to eating here until
We were turned away after being advised by the server children are not welcome. Families avoid
We had a reservation but were turned away as we didn't have id for our 18 year old daughter & were never asked beforehand. Maybe they should state this on the website beforehand. Very disappointing!
We stopped in here on a whim after walking the streets & browsing the stores. The food was delicious & the service was fast & friendly, it was however a little noisy, but it was almost 10 pm & there's was a younger crowd starting fill the place. Definitely recommend
Un bar/bistrot vraiment très agréable & accueillant. Des bières locales, un services au top & un ambiance chaleureuse. Bon pub.
Petit bémol: pas assez de nourriture de pub, il faudrait plus d'appetizers

A solid 4.5. We went in for a late lunch about 3pm. It wasn't busy. The Duck Confit Poutine was tasty, & cost $27
A small glass of wine (4 ounces maybe?) Cost between $10 - $14
Wonderful table service in a warmly lit, comfortable environment. Food was good, although it is pretty standard pub fare. Good range of drinks at good prices. Would happily go again. Also, cutest logo of all time.
Came late night on a Monday for some martinis & was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming & knowledgeable Mae, who is such a kind & welcoming person. We will be back again some day in July to see Mae once again!
