General inquiries

Do you deliver?

Regarding reservations, large parties, celebrations

Do you take reservations?

Yes, we do take reservations. For larger parties, please be sure to notify us in advance so that we can accommodate you comfortably. To make a reservation, please give us a phone call as we do not accept reservation requests online.

Do you have a private dining space available for larger parties?

We do, although we consider the space semi-private as it is divided by a wide, open entryway and large paned windows. The space can seat about 50 people comfortably. As a note for guests who require mobility assistance, the space is also divided by a single step.

We’re celebrating so-and-so’s birthday/retirement/anniversary/engagement/wedding. Can we bring in our own cake and decorations?

Yes, you can! Feel free to bring in whatever sort of dessert you like and we can keep it in our cooler for you until the appropriate time to serve it. We also do not have a cake cutting charge.

Do you add a gratuity charge to the bill of large parties?

No, we do not add a gratuity charge. You can tip whatever amount you wish.

Do you have a corkage fee?

Yes, we do! Please give us a call to inquire further.

Are children allowed in your restaurant?

Yes! We are a family friendly restaurant through and through. See our menu for kids here. We also have four highchairs available—two with a table, two without—and several booster seats. We also provide colouring sheets and crayons for any little ones looking for something to do while they wait for their food.

Regarding accessibility and the space itself

Do you have booths?

Not really, no.

Is there a bar or lounge in your restaurant?

No, we only have space for dining.

Is your restaurant wheelchair accessible?

Yes! We have two disabled parking stalls located at the front of the restaurant and a concrete ramp that connects right to our entrance. Our entrance is a set of double doors which can be operated by a manual switch located on the left-hand side. The switch will open the right-hand door which will swing outwards. Once inside, there is another set of double doors. These doors cannot be opened automatically, but are usually propped open. If they are not, the hostess will open them for you. Our restaurant also has a wheelchair accessible bathroom and a number of tables that offer adequate surrounding space for guests to access.

Do you have a patio?

We did have a small patio for a short stretch while operating under restricted service during the height of the pandemic, but we don’t anymore. Maybe in the near or distant future it will pop up again.

Do you have TVs in your restaurant? We want to watch the game.

We have two TVs set up in our semi-private dining space, and honestly, when the Oilers are losing, they’re more than enough. (No, we have not yet recovered from the 2021 playoffs … or the 2020 playoffs … or the 2017 playoffs … or the 2006 playoffs.)

Can we sit upstairs?

As long as the space is not reserved for larger parties, you probably can!

Can we leave our car in your parking lot while we attend [insert event here]?

We kindly ask that you do not leave your vehicle in our parking lot out of courtesy to other guests who may have trouble finding a spot. Our parking lot is on the small side and fills up very fast, especially on weekends.

Do you have an ATM in your restaurant?

No, but we luckily have CIBC and Scotiabank as our neighbours across the avenue. ATB is also about 5 minutes west from us.

Regarding menu items, dietary restrictions

Some of our menu items can be adjusted for gluten allergies:

• Greek Salad ordered without the garlic toast; grilled chicken breast could be added as long as it is ordered without spices.

• Caesar Salad ordered without the croutons and garlic toast; grilled chicken breast could be added, as long as it is ordered without spices.

Do you have vegan options on your menu?

Our Greek Salad ordered without the feta and dry toast instead of garlic toast.

To keep it simple, the New York is more tender, but the Top Sirloin has more flavour.

Does your gravy have pork in it?

Other common concerns
