We visited on a random weekday without a reservation. We arrived about 90 minutes before close time on a cold day. We got a chicken burger and the pineapple burger. Both were really nice! Cocktails were also pretty decent, especially for that price range. However it was pretty cold outside and they kept the door open without too much heating inside. I usually don’t enjoy my dinner too much if I have to keep on wearing my coat. It felt not too welcoming.

Came here on a Wednesday night after work with a friend. I had assumed my friend was already inside so I went in telling who appeared to be the owner that my friend was there but he told me, in a rather rude way that wasn't the case when he didn't even know who my friend was or how she looked like. I was taken aback a little by this encounter so I waited for my friend to arrive before going back in. The owner probably then felt guilty of his attitude so he came out asking me if my friend was coming soon and said he would prepare a table for us. So in terms of service I would give it a 3-star because of this interaction. Also I feel like the other waiter treated us nicer because of what happened which made me think it was a shame. On the other hand, the food was absolutely amazing! I ordered da big chief with avocado, bacon and cheese in a sesame bun with sweet potato fries on the side. Burger was cooked to perfection, not too salty with the melty cheese which was right up my alley. Together with the bacon and ripe avocado it was just the best combo a burger can offer! One thing that I thought could be improved was that they didn't toast the bun with butter so it wasn't as crusty as I expected it to be. The sweet potato fries though were extremely well done, so crispy and salted just right. I really recommend both the burger and fries. Overall it was a good experience dining in this restaurant, despite the rude service initially. I could tell the waiter who took over from the owner tried very hard to make a better impression and was very attentive when serving us so kudos to him!

Amazing service, in fact one of the best serví I have ever had in a restaurant. Lovely people, a very cozy atmosphere. Food is very good but my only concern is that the beef was missing a bit more of flavour and the chips can be better quality (at least in my opinion). I really enjoyed my time here and I will definitely come back for more!!!
