Service and atmosphere was delightful. Lavender cocktail was to die for. Fish tacos were nothing special, too much cabbage and mid fish. Nachos were great almost too much cheese but the braised meat was amazing and mango bits were great. Overall fun spot!

INSANE short rib nachos. The mango salsa was incredible, the short ribs melted in my mouth, the cheese sauce was perfect. Basically the best nachos I’ve ever had. Wish I could have kissed the chef on the nose. SO GOOD.

Great place to go on a sunny afternoon. We enjoyed the outdoor seating along South 101. The food was great. I had the fish and chips. And my wife have the tri-tip sandwich. Portions are ample and the prices are slightly high but that is to be expected.

Service was super fast and friendly. Food was great. Fried fish taco was better in my opinion. The brussel sprouts and pretzel bites were flavorful. The fish n chips is lighter than it looks. Kids loved the chicken strips and the seasoned fries were well cooked

I came here with a large group early one Sunday morning. It was mostly empty so it was easy for a large group to sit down. They had a good mimosa special and the chicken and biscuits I had were really good. All the food portion sizes were rather large.

During COVID 2020 and the pandemic got to sit and dine at the Bier Garden and it was well worth the wait. Having a place with sidewalk dining and a large patio was great because they were still able to comfortably sit a lot of parties spaced out for our safety. The first time we dined there was on the patio and the second time was on the large patio. I love the quaint and cozy feel of the neighbourhood and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our servers both time despite being swamped were courteous and helpful and made fabulous recommendations. The menu is great and has such delicious and fresh items. Their patio is also dog friendly. Our baby girl, Princess Zelda, goes most places with us so venues have to be. They have an extensive beer list and a great drink selection, too. Haven't been back to restaurant since 2021 but | definitely need to especially since they made it through the pandemic.

Everything was excellent, no exaggeration. So impressed. Some of the best service we have ever had, our waitress name was Carolyn. She was amazing!! Drinks came out quick. Food came out fresh and hot (also pretty quickly, around 10-15 minutes) They put on a sports game we asked for nearly immediately. A must try place. 10/10
