Nice restaurant in a beautiful town. I got a steak sandwich and a smoked poutine. The steak was really good and juicy. The fries were good and poutine was delicious. Loved the quantity. Totally worth the money. Great service.

First time for us and very pleased. Had the reuben spring rolls and Thanksgiving special poutine. Plus a beer and caesar. Food was very good, service quick and our server very pleasant. Large screens can be seen from every table and this place has a nice sports bar vibe. Will be back to try more menu items.
