Ordered Spaghettini and Bolognese for take-out. There was hardly any meat in the sauce. For $21, very disappointing. Won’t order it again. Loved the Caesar salad though!

I called in for breakfast. It was 930am and there were lots of locals (who seemed to know each other) enjoying their food. That's a good sign, people seem to visit time and time again. My server Colette had a terrific smile to lift everyone's spirits on a rainy day. Both the servers were excellent. The food was great, and the coffee was flowing. I felt the prices were a bit on the high side but hey, they have to make a profit, and I was glad to support this local diner.

Our server was Collette, friendly, quick, filled water without being asked. The meal was the best I've ever ate, minus my own cooking. Pancakes light and fluffy..portion size was great for the price.

This place was on our list for a while! We went for an early lunch and we’re greeted by a wonderful lady who happened to be our server. I wish I could remember her name! The vibe in the place was super cute and nice. The music was great, and the tables were nice and clean. The bathrooms were also very clean. I ordered the chicken strips with fries and gravy on the side, and my brother ordered the chicken sandwich on a brioche bun with fries. The fries were amazing. I love a good fry! The chicken burger was good according to my brother, and the chicken strips were also great! The gravy was a little flavourless but with some salt and pepper added in it really made a difference when you dip your fries in it. We then ordered the cinnamon bun cheesecake. My brother thought it had too much cinnamon but I beg to differ. It was delicious but also wasn’t what I was expecting. It does have a layer of cake on the bottom, with a cinnamon layer and then the cheesecake filling and frosting on top. It was very delicious and I would order it again! Overall I’m excited to come back and try breakfast and a few other lunch/dinner menu items!

Cozy mid-sized restaurant with tables inside and outside. Very good and varied choice of food and drinks for a "family restaurant". Normal average prices (menu photos). We ordered Roast Turkey Diner, Pork Back Ribs, Patrick O'Neil beer and Bellini cocktail. Everything was very tasty. The only remark that I can mention about our meal is that part of my turkey was overcooked: Some of the meat(About 20%) was so soft that it felt like mush. So, with other rating system I would give this place 8 out of 10.

Went out for supper, had donair dippers for the appetizer, they came out hot and were awesome. My mom had the fish and chips, I had the fish with a salad. All of it was amazing. Very clean restaurant, staff were so friendly. Prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommend this place, would definitely go back.
