Not really worth the wait!
By Jem26 of Tri Cities (6 Reviews)
Submitted Monday, December 12, 2011 - 7:15pm [Dine in]

Went on a Saturday night and as they don't take reservations we expected a wait. Checked in at 7pm and were delighted to find out only a 45 minute wait for our party of 4. At 8:00pm they said it would only be another 15 minutes but there was another party of 4 ahead of us. Decided to wait it out at Milestones bar and have a couple of drinks. They finally called our cel phone and we were seated at 9:30. (2-1/2 hours! Not 45 Minutes!) This place is too small not to take reservations. There is no where to wait, sitting or standing. Unless you want to wait on the street. They apologized for the wait and gave us a free glass of champagne. Not a big deal but we appreciated the effort.

The appetizers were very good. Two of us had the caesar salad which had pork croutons and the other two had the Pea Soup. The meals arrived which included Veal Piccata, Striploin and Beef Short Ribs. All the main entrees were good, not amazing, but good.

Our waitress made herself scarce and twice forgot to bring drinks that were ordered. Overall, the quality of the food was good, but nothing spectacular. Definitely not worth a 2.5 hour wait! I'd only return if they start taking reservations.

Awesome canadian bistro food...service is hit or miss

Love this place for dinner...awesome canadian comfort food with great flavours. A tad dissapointed with the samon trio only because it was basically different kinds of smoked salmon but that is the only thing on the menu so far that I havent loved. Everything else is excellent. Service is hit or miss...half the servers are amazing the other half are just kind of strange. Great tunes there as well.
